Background: The validity and reliability of fitness tests are described in the literature; however, the effects of familiarization sessions on motor performance have not yet been studied. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of four familiarization sessions on physical fitness performance among adolescents. Material and methods: Twenty adolescents performed sprint, agility, flexibility, explosive strength, muscular endurance, and balance tests on four separate days with an interval of 72h. Results: Considering the first and the fourth sessions, there were significant differences in mean values for push-up, curl-up, and Flamingo tests (p<0.05). Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) varied from 0.65 to 0.97, except for the Flamingo test (0.22). The magnitude based inference revealed a likely beneficial effect of familiarization on agility (87.8%), push-ups (91.2%), curl-ups (94.4%), and a very likely effect on the Flamingo test (97.0%). When comparing the second and the third sessions with the first one, values of ICC were similar or higher, while a likely beneficial effect of familiarization was found in the second session for the Flamingo test (78.8%), and in the third session for curl-ups (91.3%), push-ups (77.1%), and the Flamingo test (94.8%)

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of virtual binaural audio on static and dynamic balance in healthy young adults. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight healthy individuals between the ages of 18 and 65 participated in this study. Data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Berg Balance Scale, the Flamingo Balance Test, and the Y Balance Test (YBT). Both the Flamingo Balance Test and YBT were applied to all participants in the absence and presence of binaural audio. Results: The Flamingo Balance Test results of the participants in the presence of sound were found to be significantly better than those in the absence of sound. Their YBT results were also significantly improved in the presence of sound. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that binaural audio may change the static and dynamic balance in healthy young adults.

Full textAbstract:
Previous research has proven that the balance of autistic children is poor. However, the reliability of assessing balance in this cohort has been inadequately researched. This study therefore aimed to examine if field-based static and dynamic balance tests can be reliably assessed in autistic children, to determine the number of familiarisation sessions required and whether autistic severity impacts on the reliability of these balance tests. The balance of eighteen primary school-aged autistic children was assessed three times a week over five weeks, using the flamingo balance test, a modified version of the balance error scoring system (BESS), the low beam walking test, and the heel to toe walking test. Reliability criteria included an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) level of ≥0.75 and a coefficient of variance (CV%) of ≤46% for the low beam walking test, the heel to toe walking test, and the BESS, and a CV% of ≤82% or the flamingo balance test. Inter-session reliability was achieved and required the least number of familiarisation sessions for the flamingo balance test, compared to the low beam walking test, which required a greater number of familiarisation sessions to achieve inter-session reliability. The heel to toe walking test and the BESS achieved inter-session reliability and familiarisation in an acceptable time frame. Due to the large CV% values reported in the current study, practitioners need to be aware that balance interventions need to achieve improvements greater than the CV% in this cohort.

Abstract Background: Static and dynamic balance are factors of major importance in the manifestation of human motor skills at a higher level. Purpose: The determination of vari-ations in the performance of balance tests for young women students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports (48 cases in the 1st year of bachelor's degree), divided and analyzed 3 BMI levels (underweight / 7 cases, normal weight / 34 cases and overweight / 7 cases) and comparing these results with other similar research. Material and method: The testing of the group was scheduled at the Research Center for Human Performance, be-longing to the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports in Galați, in the month of April of the 2018-2019 academic year. For the assessment of balance, 7 tests were used, of which 4 associated with dynamic postural stability (Walk and turn field sobriety test/errors, Func-tional reach test/cm, Fukuda test/degrees of rotation, Bass test/ points) and 3 measuring static stability (Flamingo test/falls, One leg standing with eyes closed/sec, Stork test/sec). Nonparametric tests (Mann-Whitney U) were applied to compare differences between batches. Results: The average values of underweight and normal-weight women are better than those of overweight women for the entire set of assessment tests. The underweight group has the best results for the Standing balance test, Functional reach test, Flamingo test, Walk and turn field sobriety test, Fukuda test, and the normal weight women for Stork test, respectively Bass test. We found a lack of significant thresholds when comparing the results between the 3 groups (P> 0.05) for Stork test, Standing balance test and Functional reach test, so the working hypothesis formulated is only partially confirmed. The only significant difference between underweight and normal weight (P <0.05) is found in the Flamingo test, with better values for underweight. Significant difference thresholds for Flamingo test and Fukuda test are recorded between the underweight and overweight groups (Z values have associated thresholds P<0.05). The most significant differences are found between the normal weight and overweight groups (P <0.05), respectively for the Bass test, Fukuda test and Walk and turn field sobriety test. Conclusion: Constant physical activity (as a feature of the analyzed group) reduces the chances of significant differences in all balance tests between BMI levels.

Abstract Introduction: Postural stability is the ability to recover the balance which was lost as a result of destabilizing factors. The balance is considered to be a key component of motor skills. The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between the parameters of postural stability and motor performance of people with hearing impairment. Material and methods: The study was conducted on a group of 42 people with hearing impairment from the earliest moments of life. Their degree of hearing impairment was significant or profound. The research methods included: medical history and examination to exclude damage to the vestibule, anthropometric measurements, stabilometric measurements on AccuSway AMTI platform under stable conditions, Biodex BBS platform under stable and unstable conditions and Eurofit Test. Results: No significant correlation between the parameters of postural stability and the majority of motor skill tests results was observed in the group of people with hearing impairment. The study revealed statistically significant correlations in both groups (women and men) between index of Fall Risk Test and the results of Flamingo test and also between the path COP with eyes open and the test results Flamingo. There were positive high correlations. Conclusions: Balance parameters showed no association with other motor skills assessed with Eurofit test except the Flamingo test, which is used to the evaluation of the functional stability. The study indicated the need to look for other relationships between postural stability and motor performance in larger groups.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of acute Whole Body Vibration (WBV) on static and dynamic balance in physical education students. A total of 30 healthy physical education students participated in this study. The participants were divided into two groups as the Control Group (n = 15) and the Whole Body Vibration group (n = 15). The control group did not carry out any trainings; and the WBV group did acute WBV. The first measurements of height, weight, flamingo balance test for static balance, and the Y balance test for dynamic balance were made for both groups before applying the WBV program. The final measurements were made right after the WBV application. Results are presented as mean &plusmn; standard deviation. The values that were obtained from the pre-test and post-test were analyzed with the paired sample t-test after their normality was checked with the Shapire-Wilk Test. The comparisons between the groups were analyzed by using an independent sample t-test at a significance level of p &lt; 0.05. The flamingo balance test was applied to determine the static balance values. According to the flamingo balance test, there was a significant difference between the right leg pre-test and post-test values of the WBV group (p &lt; 0.05). A significant difference was detected between the left leg pre-test and post-test values of the WBV group (p &lt; 0.05). The Y balance test was applied to determine the dynamic balance results. There was a significant difference between the right leg pre-test and post-test values of the WBV group (p &lt; 0.05). There was a significant difference between the left leg pre-test and post-test values of the WBV group. It was determined that the acute WBV has a positive effect on static and dynamic balance.

The balance of the body conditions the quality and efficiency of the movements in daily and sports activities, its impairment generating problems in the manifestation of motor skills for all age groups. The aim of this study is to analyze how the gender and BMI values of university students influence the results of the static and dynamic balance tests applied. The investigated group consists of 195 undergraduate students, from various specializations of the Dunărea de Jos University in Galați (99 males and 96 females, ages = 20.16 ± 1.98, BMI = 24.15 ± 5.68). The independent variables gender and BMI levels (underweight, normal weight and overweight/obese) were defined. The participants were evaluated in May 2019 using a series of 7 tests: one leg standing test with eyes closed, stork test, flamingo test, Bass test, functional reach test, walk and turn field sobriety test and Fukuda test. The results provided using multivariate analysis (MANOVA) indicate balanced performance for the gender variable, but with significantly better values for women in the one leg standing test, flamingo test and functional reach test (F values are associated with thresholds p < 0.05). Men obtain slightly better, but statistically insignificant (p > 0.05), performances on the stork test, Bass test and Fukuda test. The BMI step comparison confirms the difficulties of the overweight group in assessing balance, with the lowest scores in maintaining static positions and the most errors in dynamic balance tests, with significant differences from normal and underweight in most tests (p < 0.05). An interesting aspect is the slightly superior performance of the underweight compared to the normal weight group, for the one leg standing test, flamingo test and walk and turn field sobriety test. The analysis of Spearman correlation coefficients indicates a number of significant associations between elevated BMI values and decreased performance on balance tests.

This article is a contribution to the experience of testing motor fitness and exploring the EUROFIT test in young children. In the age group 5–7 years, the motor fitness tests showed strong dependency on age and a small dependence on sex. Body weight and height did not appear to have any impact on the test variables for this age group. The reliability test showed significant difference between test and retest in the plate tapping test only. The reproducibility was low in bent arm hang and flamingo balance, with coefficients of variation of 67%. Modest validity of the flamingo balance test and the standing broad jump test was confirmed with correlations of 0.43 and 0.52, respectively, by laboratory testing on a force platform. Factor analyses extracted 3 components, which explained 62% of the total variance, but no single component could explain general motor fitness. The EUROFIT Motor Fitness Test appeared to be applicable also in young children, but the reproducibility of two test items was questionable. Modification of test items was suggested to fit this age group.

In Pediatrics, balance is assessed through low-sensitivity clinical tests which identify developmental alterations at already advanced stages that cannot be detected at earlier stages. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop an easily applicable quantitative tool that can be used to evaluate postural control. Consequently, a cross-sectional study was carried out with 91 healthy children. All of them performed a series of six accelerometric functional tests and four clinical tests of balance (Modified Flamingo Test, Bar Test, Babinski–Weil Test, and Fukuda Stepping Test). The Bar Test obtained mild inverse correlations with accelerations produced in the mediolateral axis and the root mean square of all the tests in monopodal support. The Flamingo Test obtained direct correlations with the root mean square of the tests in monopodal support and with the mediolateral axis of the monopodal tests and gait. The pediatric balance assessment scale consists of three factors and eleven items extracted from five accelerometric functional tests: the monopodal balance test with six items, normal gait test with three items, and bipodal balance test with two items. This tool is easy to apply and allows analysis in the evaluation of the balance state based on the accelerations of the center of mass.

In sports, physical and motoric tests are applied to large groups and norm values are formed according to age, sports and gender. These normative values provide objective data to coaches and sports scientists or existing athletes during ability selection. This allows the correct evaluation and comparison. The aim of this study is to carry out norm studies on some physical and motoric parameter values according to age and gender of children aged 7-14 years. For the sample in this study,7,223 children and adolescents aged 7-14 (5404 boys and 1819 girls). The following field tests were applied to assess motor performance: agility test (sec), Sprint 20 m test (sec), long jump test (cm), sit-erish test (cm), flamingo equilibrium test (n/60sec). The results of the data show us that ın all data, a age has an increase with the age. In all age groups in favor of girls in sit-erish and flamingo equilibrium tests; agility, 20 m sprint, stopping long jump tests in favor of boys (p <0.05). These reference values are especially important in health and education environments and can be added to the literature both national and worldwide about physical conformity values in children.

The purpose of this study was to examine the rest-retest reliability of the Eurofit motor fitness tests performed by university students. A total of 98 undergraduate students who were enrolled in physical education departments in Greece participated (29 men aged 19.5 ± 2.7 hr. and 66 women aged 19, 4 ± 2.7 yr.). ALL Eurofit motor fitness tests and anthropometric measurements were obtained twice with one week between the two measurements, Intraclass correlation coefficient indicated satisfactory coefficients above .70 for most tests. The only exception was the plate-tapping test which yielded a low value ( R = .57). Further, the majority of the Eurofit test battery fitted well within the 95% confidence interval, and only three Eurofit motor fitness test items (flamingo balance, plate tapping, and sit-ups) presented a confidence limit below the value of .70, These findings indicated that the Eurofit test battery yielded reliable data for undergraduate students. However, modifications should be considered to improve the reliability of certain test items, for application to undergraduates.

Coordination abilities have a considerable influence on the acquisition and improvement of specific elements and their stability. They enable the execution of motor acts in various conditions with high efficiency and determine the performance of movements in optimal conditions. The main purpose of this research was to highlight the most appropriate means of training that would lead to improved balance and general coordination among junior female gymnasts aged 10-12. The study was conducted on a sample of 13 female gymnasts between September 2020 and January 2021. The tests applied were the following: Flamingo test, Standing static balance test, and Matorin test. The training programs included means for improving balance and general coordination, namely: maintaining the body in static positions on a small support surface, maintaining body stability in balance positions, maintaining body balance while performing acrobatic elements, and changing body positions depending on the working level. The results were interpreted using the ANOVA test and t-test. The Flamingo test indicated a significant change in results, with t = 19.13 (p ˂ 0.0001); in the Standing static balance test, the value improved, with t = 10.58 (p ˂ 0.0001); the results in the Matorin test recorded significant progress, with F = 6.854 (p ˂ 0.0001). Given the results obtained, it can be stated that the training programs applied to junior female gymnasts have proven to be effective tools for improving the coordination abilities analyzed in this study.

Spatio-temporal orientation and balance ability at certain ages show the superiority of a certain gender type in terms of the level of performance recorded. The aim of this study was to investigate whether performance in spatial-temporal orientation and balance ability differs by gender. In order to determine the differences between genders, an analysis was carried out on a sample of 120 primary school pupils who were divided by gender into two groups: 58 girls (M=27,13, SD=6,50 kg; M=129,07, SD=6,58 cm) and 62 boys (M=29,39, SD=7,90 kg; M=130,92, SD =7,02 cm). The following tests were applied: Matorin and Flamingo Test. For the interpretation of the results the Independent Samples T Test was used. According to the results of the research, in the case of the Flamingo Test - the handy leg, the values (M=4.48, SD=4.21) are significantly higher (t=2.21, DF=118, two-tailed p=0.28) than those of boys (M=3.06, SD=2.62). Regarding the Matorin Test - skill part, boys' values (M=283.06, SD=82.04) are significantly higher (t=3.50, DF=118, two-tailed, p=0.001) than girls' (M=232.55, SD=75.35). It is recommended to develop spatial-temporal orientation and balance skills because these skills play a considerable role in sports and technical games where they are in high demand.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gymnastics training combined with music on balance, loco-motor level and coordination in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and down syndrome (DS). This randomized, controlled experimental trial included 30 children (15 children with DS, 15 children with ASD) aged 8 to 14 years. The children were separated into 2 groups, as Group 1 in which ASD and Group 2 in which DS treated gymnastics training with music for 16 weeks, 2 days a week, 1.5-2 hours. Flamingo balance test, functional reach test, Wall Catch coordination test and flexibility test were used to evaluate balance, dynamic balance, loco-motor level and coordination, flexibility, respectively. All groups were evaluated before training and at the end of 16 weeks. When the pre-training and post-training parameters were compared between the groups, a increase was determined in the parameters of balance, loco-motor level and coordination, flexibility in Group1. This increase was statistically greater in Group 1. Statistically significant difference was determined in Group 2 with respect to functional reach test, sit and reach test values. No statistically significant difference was determined in Group 2 in respect of Flamingo and Wall Catch coordination tests. As a result; gymnastics training combined with music were found to be effective in increase balance score, improving loco-motor level, coordination, flexibility in children with DS and ASD. The results of this study can be considered to provide important contributions to the understanding and treatment of children with autism and down syndrome.

Full textAbstract:
This mixed-method study examined the impact of combining virtual reality (VR) and gamification (GAM) with the practice teaching style (PTS) on students’ motor skills and perceived effort in physical education. Participants (n = 75) were divided into three groups: PTS (control), PTS + GAM and PTS + GAM + VR. Each group had two one-hour sessions per week for six weeks. Participants’ motor skills and perceived effort were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively using tests such as the SportComp Motor, flamingo and plate-tapping tests, as well as the handgrip strength test and the Pictorical Children’s Effort Rating Table. The results indicate that the PTS group reported a higher perceived effort compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). All study groups exhibited improvements in the handgrip strength (p < 0.001) and flamingo (p < 0.05) tests, while lateral jump test improvements were observed only in the two GAM groups (p < 0.001). The VR group showed an improvement in the plate-tapping tests (p < 0.001), while the PTS group exhibited a decline in the displacement with support test (p < 0.05). Participant perceptions suggest that the activity nature, motivation from competition and rewards influenced the perceived effort and motor skills. In conclusion, GAM techniques are effective in reducing perceived effort in physical education programs, and combining GAM with VR enhances improvements in motor skills.

Full textAbstract:
Background: In sports, balance is a fundamental capacity in performance, demonstrating that it’s the most relevant ability in judo actions (Shimoda et al., 2007), and in soccer, due to the contact characteristics and necessity to maintain the best balance for technical execution with a greater chance of success (Gerbino, Griffin, & Zurakowski, 2007). For its evaluation, the flamingo test seems to be a useful and easy-to-apply on the ground with little equipment and quick data collection (Panjan & Sarabon, 2010), being widely used for this evaluation in different modalities. Objectives: Evaluate unipodal static balance and functional motor asymmetry in Judo athletes, Soccer athletes, and in subjects with non-regular sports practice (Control Group = CG). Methods: 69 healthy subjects between 20 and 22 years old were divided into 3 groups, to which the Flamingo balance test was applied. Results: There were statistically significant differences between Judo and the CG (p = 0.001), where first had better performance, and between Soccer and CG (p = 0.046) where first had better results. In the comparison between the number of falls with the dominant foot in relation to the non-dominant, differences were observed in the soccer athletes (p = 0.023) with more falls for the non-dominant foot as well as in the CG group (p = 0.015). In Judo group, no differences were found between limbs. Conclusions: The practice of sports seems to improve balance and Judo seems to improve balance bilaterally more than soccer, suggesting that this modality can improve athletes for both dominant and non-dominant limbs, and so reduce the differences among them.

Full textAbstract:
To overcome the limitations of the Flamingo Search Algorithm (FSA), such as a tendency to converge on local optima and improve solution accuracy, we present an improved algorithm known as the Multi-Strategy Improved Flamingo Search Algorithm (IFSA). The IFSA utilizes a cube chaotic mapping strategy to generate initial populations, which enhances the quality of the initial solution set. Moreover, the information feedback model strategy is improved to dynamically adjust the model based on the current fitness value, which enhances the information exchange between populations and the search capability of the algorithm itself. In addition, we introduce the Random Opposition Learning and Elite Position Greedy Selection strategies to constantly retain superior individuals while also reducing the probability of the algorithm falling into a local optimum, thereby further enhancing the convergence of the algorithm. We evaluate the performance of the IFSA using 23 benchmark functions and verify its optimization using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. The compared experiment results indicate that the proposed IFSA can obtain higher convergence accuracy and better exploration abilities. It also provides a new optimization algorithm for solving complex optimization problems.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The determinants of physical fitness in children have been given limited attention. In particular, the relative role of chronological age, sex, anthropometry, and body composition in physical fitness of children has been barely investigated. This cross-sectional study investigated determinants of physical fitness using a set of predictive variables including, in addition to chronological age and sex, a large panel of anthropometric measurements as well as body composition. The study was carried out in a convenience sample of children aged 6–12 participating in a summer camp. Methods One-hundred-ninety-three children (128 males) fulfilled all requirements and entered analysis. Health-related physical fitness components (speed, muscular power and balance) were explored by means of field tests, namely the 30-m dash test for running speed, the standing long jump and the seated chest pass test for lower limbs and upper body muscular power, respectively, and the flamingo balance test for static balance. Determinants of physical fitness were investigated by regression analysis using chronological age, sex, anthropometry, and body composition in a hierarchical approach. To minimize the expected effect of collinearity in predictor variables, an original statistical approach using Random Forests analysis was adopted. Results Age predicted 45.2%, 43.6%, 35.6% and 25.6%; and sex 9.5%, 10.7%, 6.3% and 2.0% of variance in the 30-m dash, seated chest pass, standing long jump, and flamingo balance test, respectively. Anthropometry and body composition explained a limited or no percentage of variance. The adjusted R2 (root mean square error) was 0.61 (0.31 s), 0.45 (0.32 m), 0.58 (0.15 m) and 0.41 (0.75 logs) for the 30-m dash, seated chest pass, standing long jump, and flamingo balance test, respectively making these models useful when physical fitness tests are not feasible. Conclusions We highlighted the respective role of chronological age, sex, anthropometry, and body composition in physical fitness of children in the wide age range 6–12 years. Data confirm and expand on previous literature by showing with a strictly conservative statistical approach that chronological age is a main determinant of physical fitness of both boys and girls, sex playing a limited role. The role of anthropometry was even less important, and no role was found for body composition. These findings should be considered when planning/implementing motor development or physical education programs.

The purpose of the study is to compare the physical, motor and physiological features of students in the age group of 12-14 years old who regularly practice in athletics and wrestling sports with non-sports students, and explore its impacts on the sports students' level of branching. The research group was selected among Keçiören Mecidiye Secondary School and Alaeddin Ozdenören Imam Hatip Secondary School students in Ankara. The research group consisted of 47 students; 15 students in the age group of 12-14 years old who are engaged in regular athletics training, 17 students in the same age group who are engaged in regular wrestling training and 15 volunteers in the same age group who do not do sports. Measurements included age, height, body weight, Agility (T-test), hand grip strength, standing jump, vertical jump, body fat percentage, flamingo balance, flexibility, 1 min shuttle, BMI, 30 m speed run, 1000 m run-walk tests. The analysis of the data was evaluated according to the results of the Levene test for homogeneity. If the result was homogeneous, ANOVA method, otherwise Kruskal Wallis comparison test was used. In variables whose averages differed as result of multiple comparisons, the TUKEY test was used to find which groups these differences stemmed from. The results of agility, right and left hand grip strength, flexibility, 1 min shuttle, Body Mass Index (BMI), 30 m speed, 1000 m run-walk tests were statistically significant. However, the results for height, weight, age, long jump, flamingo balance, body fat percentage, vertical jump tests were not statistically significant. When we look at the results, it is found that the best results for 1000 m run-walk, 30 m speed run, agility (T-test), height, long jump, vertical jump were recorded in the athletics group. It has been observed that the wrestler group has better results in body weight, body fat percentage, grasp strength, flamingo balance, 1 minute shuttle and flexibility parameters. The values of the control group were found to be lower than those who were engaged in athletics and wrestling as they did not exercise regularly. When the differences between the groups are evaluated, it can be said that there is a tendency towards branching in a branch in the age group of 12-14 years old.

This study aims to compare EuroFit test results of 11-17-year-old males and females in Kosovo. 742 students were included in the study. 347 females and 395 males were determined by random selection from the schools in urban and rural areas of all regions. Kosovo's general population rate (52% male 48% female) was considered when determining the proportion of male and female students. Anthropometric characteristics including height, weight, and Body Mass Index (BMI) of students and the motoric characteristics including the values obtained from the tests such as flamingo balance, plate tapping, sit and reach, standing broad jump, handgrip strength, sit-ups (30 sec), bent arm hang, 10x5m shuttle run and 20 m endurance were compared. As a result, there was no statistically significant difference between the anthropometric characteristics of male and female students in adolescence; however, it was observed that as the age increased, males became heavier and taller than females (p<0.05). In general, while there was no statistically significant difference between males and females in flamingo balance, plate tapping and sit and reach tests (p> 0.05), males were determined to be more successful than females in standing broad jump test, handgrip strength test, sit-ups (30 sec) and 20 m endurance tests (p<0.05). It is observed that students in Kosovo are more successful than the other countries regarding motoric tests such as the anthropometric characteristics, which are thought to be more related to genetics, and speed/agility of arms and legs. On the other hand, they are unsuccessful in comparison with other countries with regard to flexibility and endurance in tests which are thought to be influenced by factors such as lifestyle, nutrition, and training.

Full textAbstract:
Core exercise is the region where the muscles have a significant effect on physical fitness and athletic performance level by providing the connection between the lower extremities and upper extremities. Although studies on core exercise have been conducted on different subjects for a long time, the number of studies in which the effects of core exercise on endurance, strength, sprint, anaerobic power, and balance performance are examined in the same study is limited. In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of a twelve-week core exercise program on different performance outcomes for each motoric trait. In this context, 30 amateur football players were included in the study. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: the core exercise group (CEG) and the control group (CG). After the participants were determined, balance (flamingo and Y balance test), sprint (10 m and 30 m sprint test), strength (sit-up, push-up, back, and leg test), endurance (plank test), and anaerobic power analyses were taken and a 12-week core exercise program was applied to the CEG in addition to the football training program. CG was included in the normal football training program during this period. After 12 weeks, all performance measurements were repeated, and the differences between them were analyzed. According to the findings, we found a significant improvement in the participants' flamingo balance test, right foot post-medial Y balance test, right foot post-lateral, 10 meters sprint, 30 meters, leg strength, back strength, reactive strength index, push-ups, sit-ups, and plank tests (p<0.05). According to the findings, twelve-week core exercise program had a positive effect on endurance, strength, sprint, anaerobic power, and balance performance in football players.

Full textAbstract:
A sense of balance is required in sports activities, conditioning the quality of movements and physical performance. (1) The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of gender and the specificity of sports activities on body balance. The investigated participants are 157 students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports/Bachelor’s degree: 109 men (age = 20.49 ± 2.03, body mass index, BMI = 22.96 ± 3.20), and 48 women (age = 20.21 ± 1.51, BMI = 21.05 ± 2.78). (2) Design: Cross-sectional study, with the definition of the variables gender and sport activity with three stages (non-athletes/NA, team sports games/TSG, and individual sports/IS). The evaluation was based on four dynamic balance tests (Bass test/points, Functional reach test/cm, Fukuda test/degrees of rotation, and Walk and turn field sobriety test/errors) and three static balance tests (Flamingo test/falls, Stork test, and One-leg standing test with eyes closed/s). (3) Results: The variance analysis (multivariate and univariate tests) indicates the superiority of women in most tests applied, but with significantly better values (p < 0.05) only for the Flamingo test and Bass test. Men have superior results only for vestibular stability (Fukuda test) and One-leg standing test, but it is statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). The TSG group has slightly better values than the IS group for the whole set of tests conducted, but these are not statistically significant (p > 0.05), so we cannot highlight the certain superiority of TSG practitioners over those involved in IS. Both the TSG and the IS group outperformed all tests compared to the NA group, with significant differences (p < 0.05), especially for the TSG. Conclusion: Women have better values than men on most tests, and performance sports students have higher average scores than those in the NA group, which demonstrates the beneficial influence of specific training on static and dynamic postural stability.

Full textAbstract:
Rugby is a popular sport and requires participants to have commensurate physical attributes for effective participation. One physical fitness test battery which enjoys extensive use contextually is the European Test of Physical Fitness (Eurofit). However, the psychometric properties of the test battery have not been explored and documented in the local context. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the test-retest reliability of the Eurofit test battery items among elite schoolboy rugby players in Harare, Zimbabwe. Thirty-two (32) players with the mean age of 17.2 (SD=1.03) years completed all the tests during the in- season period. Anthropometric and Eurofit test measurements were obtained twice with seven days separating the assessments. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) estimated the reliability test items. The global ICCs for the Eurofit test items ranged from 0.59 to 0.98. The Sit-and-Reach test yielded the highest temporal reliability (ICC=0.98). The Plate Tapping test, Flamingo Balance test and 10×5m Shuttle Run test showed ICCs < 0.7. Cognisant of the study limitations, some component test items of Eurofit test battery can be recommended for reliably evaluating aspects of physical fitness in junior rugby players in Zimbabwe whilst others still need consideration and test modification.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present study was to establish the changes that occur in dancers’ static body balance indicators during rest, in case of interfering factors and in stress condition. The sample consisted of 14 advanced female folk dancers at the age of 16–20 years. The participants’ static body balance was measured at the beginning (in the autumn) and at the end (in the spring) of the eight-month dancing period. Static body balance indicators were registered on a dynamographic platform within 30 seconds, standing on bipedal on stable and unstable support surface in eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC) conditions. The Flamingo test balance control, the balance control after spinning around and jumping tests were conducted only in EO condition. The following parameters were registered: the movements of the centre of pressure (CoP) in the anterior-posterior (AP) and medio-lateral (ML) dimensions; the length, speed and area of the trajectory. According to the study, folk dancers’ CoP movements in the AP and ML dimensions, measured in different conditions (EO, EC), on stable and unstable support surface, did not change significantly after the eight-month dancing practice. The young folk dancers’ static body balance, assessed by CoP movement trajectory, speed and area, improved considerably over the eight-month training period. Flamingo test results indicate that practising folk dance develops the young female folk dancers’ right and left side static stability equally. In the context of Estonian folk dance practice, including preparation for performing at dance festival, the young female folk dancers’ balance performance improved both in vestibular instability (spins, standing on unstable support surface and in EO condition) and fatigue (jumping test) conditions.

The current study seeks to investigate the link between mindfulness, static and dynamic balance among elite athletes. 77 elite athletes (Mage = 19.03 years, SD = 3.00) completed a Demographic Information Form and the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport. In addition, Y Balance Test and Flamingo Test were used for balance measurements. Simple correlation analysis indicated that overall mindfulness was not significantly related to dynamic and static balance. However, the awareness subscale of mindfulness was negatively correlated with dynamic balance. In addition, the results of the regression showed that the awareness subscale of mindfulness significantly predicted dynamic balance. Findings suggest that awareness, albeit low, may be an important predictor of dynamic balance in elite athletes.

<strong>Abstract:</strong> The environment in which the Kenyan flower firms operate has been subject to great turbulence. For the last decade has seen the collapse of many flower firms in Kenya which was attributed to poor organizational performance due to inefficiency, poor customer satisfaction, low market share, inadequate compliance to policies, low acquisition of skills and marginal profits. Production technology keeps changing and competition continues to become stiff for flower firms in Kenya to improve their organizational performance. Therefore, current study sought to investigate the effect of strategic leader’s direction on the performance of flamingo flower firm in Nakuru County, Kenya. A descriptive research design was adopted in the study. The target population was flamingo flower firm in Nakuru County, Kenya and the respondents included the 15 organization’s senior managers and 125 support staff. 94 respondents were chosen using a stratified random sampling method. For the primary data sources, the study used questionnaires with open and closed questions. The pilot study included 10 randomly selected respondents in the organization department and will not participate in the final study. A content validity test was used that ensured that what was contained in the questionnaire was in a form that the respondents could understand even without interpretation from the researcher. To assess reliability, the Cronbach alpha test was used, with the Cronbach alpha coefficient calculated from the data collected. The process of analyzing data in quantitative nature was done descriptively using means and standard deviations. Description of inferential statistics was done involving the correlation and regressions analysis that presented the way the variables related to one another. The study found that the strategic leader's direction, strategic control, strategic plans, and human capital development all have a significant impact on organizational performance. The study concluded that strategic leader's direction enables managers to provide a strategic vision for the organization or a portion of the organization, as well as motivating and persuading others to adopt that vision. The study recommended that the strategic leaders should be passionate about their roles that exceed finances and authorities together with the urge in achieving goals with strength and purpose. <strong>Keywords:</strong> Strategic Leader’s Direction, Organizational Performance. <strong>Title:</strong> EFFECT OF STRATEGIC LEADER’S DIRECTION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF FLAMINGO FLOWER FIRM IN NAKURU COUNTY, KENYA <strong>Author:</strong> Sammy Kimani Njuguna, Dr. Kipkorir Sitienei Chris Simon <strong>International Journal of Management and Commerce Innovations </strong> <strong>ISSN 2348-7585 (Online)</strong> <strong>Vol. 10, Issue 1, April 2022 - September 2022</strong> <strong>Page No: 200-205</strong> <strong>Research Publish Journals</strong> <strong>Website: www.researchpublish.com</strong> <strong>Published Date: 26-May-2022</strong> <strong>DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6583443</strong> <strong>Paper Download Link (Source)</strong> <strong>https://www.researchpublish.com/papers/effect-of-strategic-leaders-direction-on-the-performance-of-flamingo-flower-firm-in-nakuru-county-kenya</strong>

This study aims to analyze the effects of 6-week core training on certain biomotor abilities for footballers in the pubertal period. Accordingly, 30 male footballers who attend football courses regularly participated in the study. Footballers were divided into two groups; 15 of them were assigned to the Core Training Group (CTG) (age: 9.73 years; height: 139 cm; and body weight: 33.66 kg.) while 15 of them were assigned to the Conventional Training Group (CONTG) (age: 10.06 years; height: 139 cm; and body weight: 35.32 kg). While CONTG was applying the traditional training protocol, CTG additionally applied core strength exercises (two days a week for 10-15 min.). The selected biomotor tests were applied to both groups before and after the 6-week application. Between pre- and post-test values in the CTG, a statistically significant difference was found in flamingo balance, core stabilization balance, hand grip strength, 30 sec. abdominal crunch and 30 m sprint tests (p&lt;0.05). In the CONTG, a statistically significant difference was found in 30-second push-up test values between pre- and post-tests (p&lt;0.05). Comparing the pre-tests between groups, a statistically significant difference was found in flamingo balance and vertical jump tests (p&lt;0.05). Also, comparing the post-tests, a statistically significant difference was found in core stabilization balance and vertical jump tests (p&lt;0.05). 
 
 As a result of this study, it was found that core training to be performed in addition to the traditional football training positively contributed to basic motor development.

This study seeks to compare the physical and cognitive performances of 7-8-years-old children in terms of gender based on talent selection in sports and sports orientation as well as to contribute to the coaches studying in the field and the physical education teachers working in the schools in terms of talent selection tests and determination of talented athletes. The sample group consists of 178 boys and 151 girls studying in primary schools in Kayseri. To determine the physical performance of the participants, the eurofit test protocols including standing long jump, 30-m sprint test, sit-reach flexibility test, flamingo balance test, and 30 second sit-up test were applied. On the other hand, to determine the cognitive performance of the participants, visual and auditory reaction times were measured via the Newtest 1000 instrument. The SPSS 22 package program was used to evaluate the data. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was understood with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test that the data showed normal distribution. The descriptive statistical method and the independent sample t-test were applied to the participants in inter-group comparisons. As a result of the descriptive statistical analyzes, the mean values of the participants' anthropometric characteristics were found as (male, age; 7.30 ± .46 (years), height; 127.39±5.75 (cm), body weight; 28.84±5.93 (kg), BMI; 17.67±2.74) and (female, age; 7.27±.44 (years), height; 125.26±5 .19 (cm), body weight; 27.35±5.43 (kg), BMI; 17.36±2.79). As a result of the analysis, a statistically significant difference was found between the height values of girls and boys in terms of anthropometric characteristics (p<0.01). No significant difference was found in terms of other anthropometric values (p>0.05). In terms of physical performances, a significance at the level of (p<0.01) was found in favour of boys in 30-m sprint test and standing long jump tests, and in favour of girls in flamingo balance test parameters. No significant difference was found in terms of cognitive performance. The results of the study reveal that the physical and cognitive performance data of primary-school 7-8-years-old children show similar developmental characteristics when evaluated in terms of gender.

Introducción: en la unidad de trasplantes de progenitores hematopoyéticos (UTPH), se tratan pacientes diagnosticados de enfermedades hematológicas malignas (EHM) y no malignas (EHNM). El tratamiento farmacológico que reciben en la unidad, así como el ingreso prolongado en la misma UTPH puede provocar en el paciente la pérdida de la condición física y la autonomía. El ejercicio físico forma parte fundamental del tratamiento para prevenir y revertir el encamamiento y el deterioro físico de los pacientes. Objetivos: revisar el impacto del tratamiento de fisioterapia en la capacidad funcional y el equilibrio en pacientes pediátricos durante el ingreso en la unidad de UTPH. Métodos: se recogieron las variables de diagnóstico, días de ingreso y días de tratamiento de fisioterapia recibida. Se valoraron al ingreso y al último día mediante las pruebas funcionales de “sit to stand test” (STST) y “Flamingo test”. Se excluyeron los pacientes que no pudieron realizar las dos valoraciones y aquellos menores de 6 años. Los pacientes recibieron tratamiento diario de fisioterapia basado en ejercicio físico, con una duración de 30 minutos, salvo aquellos que no cumplían los criterios mínimos para la realización de la sesión. Resultados: se analizaron 17 pacientes, con una media de edad de 10’8 años de los cuales, 13 (76.47%) ingresaron por EHM y 4 (23.53%) por EHNM. La media de ingreso fue de 38.65 días. Recibieron tratamiento de fisioterapia cada 2.5 días. El STST mejoró en 4.65 (p<0.05) y el Flamingo test mejoró en 1.53 (clínicamente relevante pero estadísticamente no significativo). Conclusiones: el tratamiento de fisioterapia en las UTPH ayuda a mantener y mejorar las capacidades físicas de los pacientes durante el período de ingreso. Existe la necesidad de establecer unos criterios de valoración en estos pacientes y tener unos valores de referencia en nuestra población.
