Full textAbstract:
<em>We have investigated the relationship between performance in sports exercises and perceived difficulties in physical ability tasks for boys and girls. In order to assess physical abilities in sport, we conducted experiments concerning methods for self-evaluating the difficulty of physical ability required in sports exercises through implementation of creative vaulting tasks in addition to Eurofit and Evareg tests. Based on a hypothesis that specific physical abilities could predict performance in physical education for boys and girls, we distinguished the relationship between genders concerning perceived difficulty for varied ability tasks. Although sporting exercises performance was high among boys rather than girls, there was no significant difference in perceived difficulties of physical tasks between genders. We highlight how perceived difficulties among students appears to have resulted in higher student motivation levels, and increased desire to improve performance for more effective learning and teaching experience. We recommend that methods of perceiving difficulties in sport exercises need more exploration for better practices.</em>

Background: This study assessed the independent associations between participation in self-reported sport and exercise activities and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: Data were from 13,204 participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study cohort (1987–2015). Baseline sport and exercise activities were assessed via the modified Baecke questionnaire. Incident CVD included coronary heart disease, heart failure, or stroke. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models assessed the association of participation in specific sport and exercise activities at enrollment with risk of CVD. Results: During a median follow-up time of 25.2 years, 30% of the analytic sample (n = 3966) was diagnosed with incident CVD. In fully adjusted models, participation in racquet sports (hazard ratio [HR] 0.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61–0.93), aerobics (HR 0.75; 95% CI, 0.63–0.88), running (HR 0.68; 95% CI, 0.54–0.85), and walking (HR 0.89; 95% CI, 0.83–0.95) was significantly associated with a lower risk of CVD. There were no significant associations for bicycling, softball/baseball, gymnastics, swimming, basketball, calisthenics exercises, golfing with cart, golfing with walking, bowling, or weight training. Conclusions: Participation in specific sport and exercises may substantially reduce the risk for CVD.

The kinetic chain is open in the upper extremity skills used in most sports. Although closed chain exercises will increase stability, open chain strengthening is more sport specific. This article addresses general concepts of upper extremity rehabilitation, including exercises to restore normal range of motion, joint mechanics, and muscle strength. The roles of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, plyometric training, and elastic band exercises are also discussed. Finally, a progression of specificity training is presented to return the athlete to successful sport performance.

The objective of this study is to highlight the effect of physical exercises specific to the game of tennis, carried out in the aquatic environment to optimize the effort capacity of the players practicing this sport on the physiological parameters of the players in this sport. A novelty element of this experimental research is represented by the implementation in the training program of tennis players in the aquatic environment and exercises from other sports branches such as swimming, gymnastics and athletics. The intervention program is a bold attempt to weave and combine exercises from different sports, in a non-specific and totally different environment, in order to improve performances and results, looking at the perspective, without necessarily aiming at great current performances, in the short term, which could bring disappointments, create certain barriers or even lead to the abandonment of sports activities.

SummaryInclusive paedagogic thinking and acting is a modern and increasingly important topic in school sports. It will affect teachers as well as parents and students. The new international guidelines and national curricula enable new ways of inclusion especially for students with chronic illnesses like haemophilia. Special help from the sport teachers is of vital importance.In our project “fit for life” where we advice children and young adults with haemophilia to find their appropriate sport, we developed a new approach for an optimised inclusion of children with haemophilia into sport lessons. The whole project is running in corporation with the German Sport Teachers Association/ Hessen. We analysed and rated the actual curricula of the different school years and looked at the specific needs, risks and necessary abilities for persons with haemophilia. By this means we gathered about 600 typical movements and/or exercises for school sports and developed individual advice and adapted exercise solutions for sport lessons.

Involvement in specific sports or physical activities enhances the strength of respiratory muscles and impacts anthropometric characteristics. Current studies have declared that athletes possess greater capability of the respiratory system, and different body characterization in comparison to their age-matched sedentary controls. Aim: our study aimed to examine the differences between lung function and anthropometric characterization among athletic adolescents performing sports which is similar in nature, in accordance with intensity and type of exercise executed. Methods: 97 athletic adolescents aged between 14-18 years enrolled in a sport at the national or international level and engaged in that sport for more than 15 hours per week were included in the study. 20 non- athlete adolescents enrolled as control. All the participants were subjected to full history, thorough medical examination and anthropometric measurements including weight, height, BMI. Pulmonary function tests were performed. Results: As regards the anthropometric measurements, there was a significant difference of weight and height between water polo and both other sports and non-athletes. Moreover, there was a significant difference in BMI between water polo and non-athletes. In pulmonary functions, we detected a significant difference regarding forced vital capacity between both water polo and other sports vs non-athletes. Conclusion: Regular exercises impacted pulmonary capacity and different morphological characterization and it is sport type dependent.

The main aim of this study is to assess the effect of three different types of exercises on lipid peroxidation in sports practitioners. The experimental approach was used to conduct the study. Sixty-six healthy male sport practitioners were participated in this study and divided into three experimental groups, each group consist of 22 subjects, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd groups performed aerobic (AE), anaerobic exercises (AnE), and resistance exercises (RE). Before entering their experimental program, the three groups conducted the beep test for determining the VO2max for each participant, and then the blood and urine samples were taken from each participant. Thereafter, the three groups entered their specific training program for eight weeks 3 times/week. After ending the training programs, the three groups conducted the beep test again. All statistical data analyses were performed using SPSS version 25. For checking the differences between the pre- and post-test for all groups one-way ANOVA with Post Hok-Tukey was conducted. Comparisons between pre-test and post-test within one type of exercise were performed by the paired sample t-test. The effect of the three types of exercise programs for 8 weeks on lipid peroxidation biomarker (urinary MDA level) was varied. Interestingly, the 3 types of sport exercises were found to have a great effect on increasing serum antioxidants levels and decrease the levels of urinary MDA. Following the aerobic exercise, which was found to be significantly the more effective in decreasing the level of urinary MDA than anaerobic and resistance exercises. However, the resistance and aerobic exercises have a greater effect to generate the antioxidants defense than anaerobic exercise.

Full textAbstract:
Cerebral hypoxia has been proposed as a mechanism by which prenatal ethanol exposure causes fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in children, but no study had tested this hypothesis using a chronic exposure model that mimicks a common human exposure pattern. Pregnant sheep were exposed to ethanol, 0.75 or 1.75 g kg−1 (to create blood ethanol concentrations of 85 and 185 mg dl−1, respectively), or saline 3 days per week in succession (a ‘binge drinking’ model) from gestational day (GD) 109 until GD 132. Fetuses were instrumented on GD 119–120 and studied on GD 132. The 1.75 g kg−1 dose resulted in a significant increase in fetal biventricular output (measured by radiolabelled microsphere technique) and heart rate, and a reduction of mean arterial pressure and total peripheral resistance at 1 h, the end of ethanol infusion. The arterial partial pressure of CO2 was increased, arterial pH was decreased and arterial partial pressure of O2 did not change. Fetal whole‐brain blood flow increased by 37% compared with the control group at 1 h, resulting in increased cerebral oxygen delivery. The elevation in brain blood flow was region specific, occurring preferentially in the ethanol‐sensitive cerebellum, increasing by 44% compared with the control group at 1 h. There were no changes in the lower dose group. Assessment of regional differences in the teratogenic effects of ethanol by stereological cell‐counting technique showed a reduced number of cerebellar Purkinje cells in response to the 1.75 g kg−1 dose compared with the control brains. However, no such differences in neuronal numbers were observed in the hippocampus or the olfactory bulb. We conclude that repeated exposure to moderate doses of ethanol during the third trimester alters fetal cerebral vascular function and increases blood flow in brain regions that are vulnerable to ethanol in the presence of acidaemia and hypercapnia, and in the absence of hypoxia.

Full textAbstract:
The intermittent exercise pattern associated with soccer makes analysis of the demands of the sport more complex than in many individual sports. The aim in this thesis was to determine the physiological and metabolic responses to soccer-specific exercise. The demands associated with elite level match-play were evaluated by techniques of motion-analysis. Laboratory based soccer-specific intermittent exercise protocols were then devised to determine the physiological strain associated with soccer and investigate the effects of increased ambient temperature and whole body pre-cooling on performance. The work-rate profiles of elite South American soccer players and English Premier League players, performing in international and club level respectively, were determined. English Premier League players covered a greater total distance during a game than the South American players (P< 0.05). Differences were found for the total distance covered for playing positions with midfield players covering larger distances than forwards. Defenders covered a greater distance jogging backwards than forward players with forwards sprinting a greater distance than defenders. Work-rate was reduced in the second half of the game for all player. The total distance covered by the international players was done mainly at submaximal intensities. High intensity exercise was infrequent and bouts were of short duration. No significant correlations were observed between the work-rate profile and anthropometric charactersitics of individuals. The use of the doubly-labelled water technique to indicate the energy expenditure during soccer match-play was investigated. The doubly-labelled water technique cannot determine energy expenditure during a soccer match as the rate of turnover of the isotopes is too small to allow the accurate estimation of energy expended. Laboratory based soccer-specific intermittent protocols elicited physiological responses that were similar in magnitude and pattern to soccer match-play. Physiological demands fluctuated with exercise intensity during intermittent exercise. Oxygen consumption and heart rate were not significantly different during soccer-specific intermittent exercise and steady-rate exercise at the same average intensity. Rectal temperature did not differ significantly between the two protocols, although intermittent exercise performance resulted in a greater rise in rectal temperature as the protocol progressed (P< 0.05). Sweat production did not differ significantly between the two exercise sessions, though the rating of perceived exertion was significantly higher (P< 0.05), for the session as a whole, during intermittent exercise. Intermittent exercise performance at 26 ° C did not result in significant increases in the physiological, metabolic or thermoregulatory responses when compared to intermittent exercise at 20 ° C. The physiological and metabolic responses were also similar when intermittent exercise was performed after a whole body pre-cooling manoeuvre. Rectal temperature was lowered by the pre-cooling strategy prior to exercise (- 0.6 ± 0.6 ° C, P< 0.05). Rectal temperature during exercise was only significantly lower after pre-cooling than during exercise at 26 ° C. No significant differences were observed in rectal temperature during exercise between the normal and pre-cooled condition. The increase in rectal temperature during the second half of the protocol was significantly greater than the increase observed at 26 ° C or under normal conditions. This may be a consequence of an altered thermoregulatory response due to the pre-cooling manouvre. In conclusion, the work-rate demands of soccer seem to be predominantly aerobic in nature with anaerobic bouts and the performance of specific match activities increasing the demands placed on players. The demands of intermittent exercise are not significantly different from continuous work performed at the same average intensity though there is tentative evidence for a decrease in the efficiency of the thermoregulatory system during intermittent work. No adverse effects upon intermittent exercise performance were noted under conditions of moderate heat stress, while any thermoregulatory benefits of whole body pre-cooling during intermittent work are probably only transient.

Full textAbstract:
Collegiate athletes are always looking for ways to improve their performance. Resistance training has been incorporated into most collegiate athletic programs for this very reason. In order to improve strength, lean body mass, and exercise performance, resistance exercise and timely protein ingestion must be followed. Incorporating protein ingestion into a resistance training routine has been shown to improve net protein balance. Milk protein is gaining popularity as an ergogenic aid. There has been growing interest in the potential use of bovine milk (cow’s milk) as an exercise beverage, especially during recovery from resistance training and endurance sports. No studies have been conducted comparing fat free chocolate milk and low fat chocolate milk on muscular strength and body composition in collegiate softball players.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether fat free chocolate milk and low fat chocolate milk ingested after resistance exercise improves common performance assessments of collegiate softball players. Specifically, the performance assessments were the vertical jump test, 20-yard sprint, and the agility t-test. The participants were randomized according to strength and bodyweight, in a double blind experimental design. The 18 female, collegiate softball players (18.5 ± .7 yrs; 65.7 ± 1.8
inches; 156.2 ± 21.6 kg) ingested either fat free chocolate milk or low fat chocolate milk immediately after resistance exercise workouts for an 8-week period. Dependent variables included vertical jump test, 20-yard sprint test and agility t-test. The data was analyzed via a paired samples t-test (to detect difference across both groups over the eight week training period) and an independent samples t-test (to detect differences between the groups) using SPSS for Windows 15.0. No statistically significant differences were found in the vertical jump, 20 yard sprint, or agility t-test between the fat free chocolate milk group and the low fat chocolate milk group.
The major, statistical, finding of this study is that the consumption of commercially available fat free chocolate milk versus low fat chocolate milk drink does not produce improvements in exercise performance in conjunction with an eight week periodized, resistance training program in collegiate softball players. The difference of 10 grams of fat (two servings per container) did not alter any of the performance variables (20 yard sprint, vertical jump or agility t-test).

Sari-Sarraf, Vahid. "The effects of soccer-specific intermittent exercise on salivary IgA responses." Thesis, Liverpool John Moores University, 2006. http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/5817/.
Full textAbstract:
Exercise has been demonstrated to influence susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) because various aspects of immune function including mucosal immunity are temporarily changed after exercise. Lower concentrations of salivary 19A (s-IgA) as a predominant immunoglobulin and component of saliva or a chronic deficiency in s-IgA have been associated with an increased frequency of URTI episodes. Previous studies of aerobic exercise have incorporated the performance of running or cycling. Responses of s-19A to intermittent exercise patterns as they occur in soccer remain to be resolved. A laboratory based soccerspecific intermittent exercise protocol was used within this thesis to mimic the physiological stress associated with soccer, characterised by highintensity activity as noted during soccer play. The aims of this thesis were to determine the s-IgA responses to a bout or repeated bouts of soccerspecific intermittent exercise and investigate the effects of carbohydrate ingestion on s-IgA when such exercise is performed in increased ambient temperature. Laboratory based soccer-specific intermittent exercise and continuous exercise at the same moderate exercise intensity evoked insufficient stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to modify s-IgA responses. Changes in s-19A and cortisol did not differ between exercise types during or immediately following exercise, or 6 h, 24 h and 48 h afterwards. Physiological responses to intermittent exercise also conforming to the activity pattern of soccer match-play were similar to those for continuous exercise at the same average work-rate, despite the higher perceived exertion during intermittent exercise. Two bouts of soccer-specific intermittent exercise 48 h apart that were designed to provide a repeatable physiological stress comparable to strenuous soccer training induced s-19A responses that were similar following both bouts of exercise. Performing the second bout of exercise did not significantly suppress s-IgA concentration after 48 h recovery although a small progressive reduction in s-19A was observed. Performance of a second soccer-specific exercise bout in one day with a 2.25 h rest in between bouts elicited an increase in heart rate and perceived exertion, compared with a single session at the same time of day, but did not appear to suppress s-IgA outcomes. There was also no difference between responses of s-IgA concentration and secretion rate or salivary cortisol at the different times of day. Soccer can be played under hot environmental conditions and it is thought that addition of carbohydrate to fluids may prevent adverse changes in mucosal immune responses. Carbohydrate supplementation before and at regular intervals whilst performing soccer-specific intermittent exercise at 30°C, did not influence s-IgA responses or salivary cortisol when compared to placebo. In view of the failure of these experimental interventions to discern effects on s-IgA responses, a meta-analysis of the literature was conducted. The meta-analysis revealed an overall elevation in s-IgA concentration post acute exercise and following chronic exercise. In contrast, in term of s-IgA secretion rate, an overall significant decline after both acute and chronic exercise was a consistent finding. In conclusion, one exercise bout or repeated soccer-specific intermittent exercise in the present experiments did not induce compromises in s-IgA responses. There was no adverse effect upon s-IgA responses to intermittent exercise performance under conditions of heat stress with or without carbohydrate treatment. Although, 32 percent of studies included in the meta-analysis have indicated similar results, the disparity with overall findings may arise from differences in the exercise protocols used and/or bias for s-IgA changes in published studies.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references<br>Background: Illness in athletes is an inevitable part of participation in sports, and can significantly interfere with training, during tournaments or at competition time. The incidence of illness in sports varies in different sporting codes and across different tournaments and competitions. The Super Rugby competition is a particularly demanding 16-week tournament among countries in the Southern Hemisphere, and is associated with a high incidence of illness. In this tournament, 15 rugby union teams compete and play international level matches every week, which involves travel across numerous time zones and therefore may be associated with a higher incidence of illness in players. Objective: The main objectives of this dissertation were to 1) review the epidemiology and risk factors for illness in athletes participating in tournaments or competitions, and 2) determine which intrinsic risk factors predispose players to illness during the 2010 Super Rugby tournament. Methods: This dissertation consisted of two main phases. In phase I, a systematic review of the literature was undertaken, using evidence-based criteria, to determine which risk factors predispose athletes to illness during tournaments. In phase II, a prospective cohort research study was undertaken, involving 239 players from South Africa and New Zealand, over the 16-week duration of the 2010 Super 14 Rugby Union tournament. For phase II, a pre-season medical questionnaire was administered to determine baseline medical data. Collection of data then took place each day of the competition, beginning 7 days before the first game the team played, and ending when each team played their final game. Each team physician completed a daily "medical illness log" for every player. Booklets were supplied that contained daily illness report forms. Results: The main findings of the review (phase I) were good evidence (level I and II) indicating that 1) international travel, and the duration of a tournament are extrinsic risk factors for illness in athletes, and 2) that prolonged and high intensity training, older age, and nutritional deficiencies are intrinsic risk factors for illness in athletes. The main findings of the prospective cohort study (phase II) were that an increased number of training days in the 2 weeks before the tournament was an independent risk factor for any illness, respiratory system illness, and digestive system illness; the % time spent on endurance training in the 15 weeks before the tournament was an additional independent risk factor associated with respiratory system illness; the use of anti-inflammatory medication was an independent risk factor associated with respiratory system illness. Summary and conclusion: In summary, novel intrinsic risk factors for illness in rugby players participating in the Super Rugby tournament were training more days/hours per week in the 2 weeks before the tournament, as well as endurance-type training 15 weeks before the tournament. These data can form the basis of planning preventative strategies to reduce the risk of illness in the Super Rugby tournament.

Purvis, Alison Jane. "Thermoregulation during soccer specific intermittent exercise : the effects of clothing and environment." Thesis, Liverpool John Moores University, 2000. http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/5122/.
Full textAbstract:
Team sports such as soccer follow an intermittent pattern of exercise, which is known to place greater demands on thermoregulation than continuous exercise of a similar intensity. Time to exhaustion has been shown to be dependent upon environmental temperature, while clothing is known to create a microenvironment at the surface of the skin. The aim of this thesis was to determine the thermoregulatory response to soccer-specific intermittent exercise during different conditions of clothing and environment. The thermal and physiological responses of the feet to continuous and soccer-specific intermittent exercise were evaluated. Intermittent exercise was found to induce an increase in foot skin temperature of a greater magnitude than during continuous exercise of the same overall intensity- The findings indicate that the foot maintains an altered thermoregulatory response not evident elsewhere on the human body. The localised and whole-body physiological and thermal responses to soccer footwear were examined during soccer-specific intermittent exercise. Soccer footwear does not have a significantly detrimental effect on physiological responses compared to training shoes. Nevertheless, there was evidence of increased thermal strain when wearing the soccer boot, which may become significant in a hot environment. Similarly, the localised and whole-body physiological and thermal responses of the hands were evaluated when wearing goal keeping gloves during simulated goalkeeper activity- Goalkeepers' gloves restrict heat loss from the hand and in order to alleviate this problem, phase control materials (PCM's) have been developed to reduce heat load and maintain a comfortable skin temperature. All sites of skin measurement, except mean body skin temperature, showed uniformly that a PCM glove caused a greater increase in skin temperature than a glove with normal foam material. Therefore, the particular specification of PCM used in this study promoted heat gain rather than the intended heat loss and was therefore inappropriate to enhance thermal comfort when used in a goalkeeper's glove. The effects of three different environmental conditions (10°C, 20°C and 30°C) on soccer-specific intermittent exercise were examined, Results showed that the physiological strain-associated with soccer-specific intermittent exercise is greatest in the heat (30°C) with parameters such as heart rate, mean skin temperature, rating of perceived exertion, thermal perception, change in body mass and skin blood flow all lowest during exercise in the cool. Exercise in the cool condition (10°C) may be the optimal environment for performance of soccer-specific intermittent exercise, A significant relation was found between core temperature and prolactin (marker of brain serotonin activity) suggesting that central serotinergic mechanisms of fatigue may play a role in exercise performance during soccer-specific intermittent activity performed in the heat. The effects of traditional soccer fabrics and technical fabrics on the physiological and thermoregulatory responses to soccer-specific intermittent exercise were evaluated. Analysis revealed that slight differences between traditional and technical clothing ensembles in physiological parameters, such as heart rate, mean skin temperature, body mass loss and rating of perceived exertion, were not significant. Therefore, wearing technical fabric clothing gives no particular benefit over a traditional fabric ensemble. In The lack of differences between clothing materials lead to the conclusion that an elite soccer team competing under extremes of temperature in international climates would be best advised to concentrate on proper acclimatisations nutrition and fluid replacement strategies prior to competition than on the specifics of clothing design.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractVirtual reality applications are becoming more and more popular. In addition to apparent uses like providing entertainment, VR applications are finding use in fields such as education, engineering, and architecture. The market for VR games used in medicine and sports is also thriving. The applications allow monitoring of an athlete’s progress, training advanced movements specific to a given sport, and are difficult to reproduce during traditional training. A significant advantage of this type of solution is the increased safety of the user and, thus, a lower risk of injury. The article presents a VR application designed for the training of a powerlifting triathlon. This sport consists of three exercises. They are performed by both strength athletes and those training in other sports to prepare for the season properly. Due to the fact that they are simple multi-joint exercises, they fall into the collection of exercises often performed by amateur trainers. Despite their significant popularity and the undoubted advantages of performing them, it is often observed that they are performed incorrectly, which significantly increases the risk of injury. The purpose of the application is to enable safe training and learning of correct movement patterns of powerlifting exercises, regardless of the user’s level of proficiency.

Full textAbstract:
ntroducing sports activities to children is a crucial factor for their holistic physical, mental, and social development. Well-structured physical exercise, particularly during the preschool years, fosters the development of motor skills, creative imagination, social abilities, and basic hygiene habits. Play, as the predominant activity during this period, induces qualitative changes in children's psyche and contributes to the acquisition of life experiences. This paper examines the optimal timing for introducing children to sports activities and offers recommendations for their multifaceted development prior to specialization in a specific sport. An effectively designed exercise program for young children should incorporate low-intensity exercises aimed at developing various physical capacities such as aerobic and anaerobic endurance, muscle endurance, speed, coordination, and flexibility. A systematic approach to exercise enables children to establish a robust foundation of basic skills and more easily adapt to the demands of training in later stages, thereby avoiding the pressure of early specialization. Furthermore, aligning sports activities with the child's biological age, while progressively increasing intensity and variety, enhances overall sports development and promotes a healthy lifestyle

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The development of the methodology of the special training of highly qualified female rafting athletes in the past years is closely related to the precise coordination of the training system with the specific requirements of the sport-competitive activity. This happens mainly at the expense of the means by which the special strength and technico-tactical qualities are developed, which poses the problem of searching for new means and methods of special physical training. In the present study, the effectiveness of the application of the author’s experimental system of technico-tactical exercises in rafting sports is tested. The subject of the research are exercises for special training. The object of research are the characteristics of development and improvement of technico-tactical qualities of highly qualified female rafting athletes. Ten female rafting athletes from the two leading Bulgarian sports clubs in this sport - SC KK “NSA - Vasil Boyanov”, Sofia, Bulgaria and SC “Vento”, Plovdiv, Bulgaria were studied. The methodology of the study consists of a literature study and conducting a pedagogical experiment with 18 tests to determine the level of general and special training of highly qualified female rafting athletes. Methods of mathematical-statistical analysis of data are analysis of variation and comparative analysis of Student`s t-criterion. The analysis of the results showed that the system is focused on the development of several basic exercise systems, but the means aimed at the development of special physical training and technical-tactical mastery dominate. The results of the study have immediate practical-applied value both for the optimization of special training of highly skilled female rafting athletes and for subsequent and further research on the topic.

Full textAbstract:
Sport training is one of the main applications of computer science in sport. The benefits of computer use can be observed in the training programs of athletes, as they are reflected by the optimization of results. In swimming, the sport discipline where specific training, in water, must be permanently completed and linked with nonspecific dry-land training of swimmers, computer training has become a constant. Considering the unstable support of water and, thus, lacking strong support paddle, dry-land exercises are strongly required. It is very important to follow the motion stereotype of swimming movements, which is possible with an ergometer workout program (WEBA Swim model). Computerized environment destined to improve the motor process is eminently appropriate to the performance sports sector. It's well known that combining new technologies with learning skills can refine during the time all athletes' abilities. Considering these premises, this paper highlights the importance of modeling certain sets of exercises on a computerized training machine. More specifically, we analyze the possibility of transferring particular aspects of certain motor structures from the fluid environment onto dry-land. We assessed, by experimental study, the results of seven (7) junior swimmers after some specific modeling of dry-land training sets: basic endurance - marathon and Fartlek (core strength), threshold endurance (anaerobic threshold resistance), overload endurance (lactate tolerance), Australian heart-rate repeats (individualized repetitions increasing from iteration to another the heart rate). Along with the effects on physical training there were also significant aspects related to the satisfaction of athletes using such devices and the results of their use in the motivation to carry out the workout program.

OObesity is one of the serious problems that humanity is facing. Moreover, during our century obesity in children has reached concerning levels. In the case of adults the management of the associated problems depends on one's conscience and willpower. In the case of children, this phenomenon must determine the factors that influence the training and education of children to appropriately intervene in the prevention and treatment of this issue. The assumptions underlying the approach described in this paper spring from the seriousness of the childhood obesity problem, the known causes that led to the extension of the disease, and the growing dependence of the use of technology in everyday life. This paper aims on the one hand, to give a review of the ways in which the situation is reflected in the virtual environment: the different applications, platforms, information sites etc. On the other hand, the paper proposes tackling childhood obesity within a support platform for the management of prevention and treatment of this condition in children. The purpose of this platform (eObesity) is to assist in the treatment of overweight and obesity in children through exercise (programs). The direct beneficiaries are the overweight and obese children and the indirect beneficiaries are the physical education teachers and parents of children with obesity. Experts in the field (physical education teachers, physiotherapists, physicians, students specializing in physical education and sport) manage the interpretive component of the results of the activities. The configuration of the Platform and the management of the users before named are done by an administrator of the platform. The concepts underlying the platform are described in the paper and its general specifications are indicated as well as the current implementation status. The eObesity platform contains general information about obesity: causes, effects, diet, physical activities etc. The novelty and specificity is given by the component of support in the management of physical activity, which is physical education and sport specific through the theoretical and especially through the practical content as it can be seen in the video documents posted. The process of achieving the optimal weight is controlled through physical training modules with partial and final assessments of physical development and fitness, with recommendations for transition to another module. Specialists provide specialized assistance through virtual communication. Our conclusion is that a virtual support platform such as eObesity widens the variety of means for maintaining the health of children, combining work on the computer with the actual physical activity. Therefore eObesity holds a distinct place among the applications that treat this issue. Moreover, one can see a wide range of useage of the platform which facilitates access to specialty care from the home where one can perform physical activities.

In Romania, the training of sports professionals using the advantages of e-learning is just beginning, despite its many benefits. The most consistent attempts in this direction were made by AFAN, in the project "E-learning for social partners" (2010 - 2013). This project, financed by the ESF through SOP HRD, developed and tested a blended-learning training system for several occupations in sports (sports adviser, manager of sports companies, organizer of sporting events, sports steward, referee) or in sport-related fields (diet and nutrition, sports journalism or personal branding). This paper aims to highlight some features of the learning process, as they were experienced by the target group while using the new training system. To achieve this goal, we analyzed the attitudes of 242 students in relation to the learning tasks of the courses, in conjunction with the results of the respective program evaluations, and their profiles. The attitude of the participants was reflected in the following variables: frequency and regularity of accessing the platform and the type of actions performed, number of hours spent on the platform, participation in specific courses, the most used types of interactive exercises. In addition, we assessed the impact of technology use on the students, as the e-learning platform recorded events resulting from improper use of the work interfaces. The final evaluation of the students was made by each specialist, course lecturer. Data were obtained from reports generated by the Moodle platform developed within this project. The conclusions of the paper are methodological landmarks; they may underlie the design of blended-learning programs aimed at the training for occupations in sports

This research and development program leverages the integration of cognitive science, experimental psychology, and advanced technologies to enhance performance and safety in team sports. Through the development and validation of three innovative applications—TAKTIK, SENIC, and ENTOURAGE—the program demonstrates the potential for interdisciplinary approaches to address critical challenges in tactical learning, injury detection, and concussion management. TAKTIK is a gamified, AI-driven playbook designed to support players in learning and retaining complex tactical formations in football. By generating dynamic, cognitive exercises tailored to individual response accuracy and speed, TAKTIK provides actionable feedback that improves engagement and comprehension of game strategies. A preliminary study involving high school and university football teams indicates significant enhancements in players’ learning processes, suggesting that TAKTIK effectively meets the cognitive demands of team sports athletes. SENIC (ENgaging and Immersive Cognitive Simulation) wishes to advance concussion management by embedding cognitive tasks within sport-specific contexts to add dimensions of face validity and ecological validity. SENIC is a computer-based assessment that measures processing speed – reaction time to identify a change in ball (or puck) possession between on-screen players in video sequences in the team sport plat (e.g., football, soccer, rugby, hockey, basketball) – and smooth pursuit through an external eye-tracking system. These dynamic indicators of cognitive functioning provide a comprehensive assessment of post-concussion impairments. Initial validation studies comparing SENIC to established tools, such as the ImPACT test, reveal promising evidence for its sensitivity and reliability in supporting return-to-play decisions, particularly in fast-paced team sports. ENTOURAGE builds on the insights gained from SENIC to extend concussion management beyond evaluation, focusing on education and decision-making support for athletes, parents, and coaches. By offering real-time insights and integrating seamlessly with SENIC data, ENTOURAGE empowers community stakeholders with the tools necessary for informed decision-making in stressful situations, such as managing potential concussions during games or practices. The complementary design of SENIC and ENTOURAGE reflects a unified framework aimed at democratizing access to effective concussion management tools in team sports. The overarching program relies on a shared approach across these tools, characterized by the use of artificial intelligence, gamification, and user-centered design to enhance cognitive engagement and ecological validity. Each application addresses the specific cognitive and practical challenges of team sports, emphasizing the importance of adaptive, contextually relevant solutions for both performance optimization and safety enhancement. By combining interdisciplinary research with advanced information technology, our program underscores the transformative potential of cognitive science in addressing complex challenges in team sports.

Full textAbstract:
Actuality. Chanbara is an oriental martial art, a new modern Japanese sport that appeared recently in 1970. The word "chanbara" in Japanese means the sound of sword strokes. Retrospective analysis allows us to highlight the gradual development of the new style of chanbara martial arts, which originally was a kind of training fights in batto-do and kenjutsu, applying striking techniques with maximum speed and power, as well as defense from them. The training process as well as competitions in chanbara proved to be such attractive, interesting and useful exercises through play that they stood out as a separate sport, applying soft, air swords that are pumped like a football. At the contemporary stage of development of the new style of chanbara, the volume of motor activities performed in unpredictable situations has significantly increased, which requires the manifestation of ingenuity, quick reaction, the ability to concentrate and shift attention, the spatio-temporal accuracy of movements and their biomechanically rational character. During competitive activity in the combat sports system, including chanbara, the most successful athletes perform best when they demonstrate a high level of psychomotor possibilities, which is manifested by the perfection of specialized perceptions, such as the sense of the opponent, distance, combat space, balance, rhythm, tempo and last but not least precision. We can assume that the application of the game method based on the development of psychomotor skills in young athletes at the initial stage will contribute to the intensification of the training process of competitive technical-tactical activity specific to chanbara. The aim of our work is to develop psychomotor skills in young athletes practicing chanbara by applying the game method.

Full textAbstract:
Review question / Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize available randomized controlled trial studies concerning the effects of exercise interventions on fundamental motor skills in children with autism spectrum disorder. Condition being studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complicated and highly prevalent neuro-developmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. The CDC reported that the prevalence of ASD was estimated to be 1 in 59 in the United States by 2020. Along with typical symptoms, a couple of studies have indicated that individuals with ASD encounter a variety of challenges, including sleep disturbance, obesity, executive function deficits, physical inactivity, and motor dysfunctions. Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are the unnaturally occurring basic motor learning model of the human body, which are the building blocks for advanced specialized motor skills and for children and adolescents to participate in sports, games, or other context-specific physical activity.FMS falls into three different categories: (a) locomotor skills (e.g., running and hopping), (b) object control skills (e.g., catching and throwing), and balance or stability skills (e.g., balancing and twisting).

Full textAbstract:
This paper applies probit regression models to a nationally representative household survey dataset collected in 2016-2017 to analyze the relationships between various socio-demographic variables and adult Body Mass Index (BMI) in Suriname. Our results indicate that women, the elderly, and couples either married and/or living together are more likely to be obese or overweight. As expected, this is also true for individuals who have chronic illnesses. The analysis also finds that individuals who engage in a sport or in other forms of exercise, even if modest, have lower odds of being overweight or obese. Interestingly, the findings indicate that individuals who benefit from government social safety net programs are less likely to be associated with being overweight or obese. The results of this study have implications for the adjustment of current Surinamese nutritional guidelines as well as the design and implementation of targeted obesity-reduction policies that recognize that being overweight is influenced by various characteristics. Although the results are country-specific, they have the potential to influence action in all countries in the Caribbean that lack policies to address obesity.
