The force and effort required to play a percussion instrument can cause musculoskeletal issues in percussionists (PRMDs). India's most popular percussion instrument is the tabla. The aim of the study was to assess the risk of upper limb musculoskeletal disorders among table players. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on seventy-six amateur table players, who were between the age group of 18 to 25 years. The posture of amateur table players and the risk of musculoskeletal injury among them was assessed by using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) scale. Result: Assessment of posture while playing tabla by using RULA scale shows that 25.39 % players were at a low risk of musculoskeletal injury, 71.42% players were at a medium risk of musculoskeletal injury and 3.17% were at high risk of musculoskeletal injury. The majority of musculoskeletal pains were in the shoulder and wrist joint. Conclusion: The study shows that the tabla players are at a risk of musculoskeletal injuries and early preventive measures should be implemented to prevent long term complications of wrong posture while playing tabla.

Playing a percussion instrument demands great force and effort, which may make percussionists prone to playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs). Of all of the percussion instruments in India, tabla is the most popular. The present study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of discomforts among professional tabla players. Eighty-five professional tabla players voluntarily participated in the study. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and visual analog scale (VAS) were administered to all the participants. Demographic details, music-related activities, and symptoms of discomfort were also recorded. It was found that prone anatomical areas were the low back, right shoulder, neck, left shoulder, upper back, and knees. The frequency of discomfort was found to be mostly weekly for the shoulders and monthly for neck, low back, and knees. There was an association between visual analog scale and prevalence of self-reported discomforts in some body parts. It can be said that the prolonged, unsupported, folded-knee sitting posture may be the cause of discomforts.

Tabla is the most versatile among percussion instruments today. The challenge that it meets till date is the recognition that Tabla has in terms of a Solo instrument. Although acclaimed worldwide for its versatility, yet the role of Tabla as a Solo instrument remains undefined at large. The tabla player today occupies a decent place on stage during accompaniment and exhibits the art, at times with his repertoire, especially when he accompanies to instrumental music. The rich repertoire of Tabla, which is learnt through life finds its expression only through solo performances, but this is confined only to the elite artists. There is no denial to the fact that Tabla is basically an accompanying instrument. Accompaniment is a beautiful art and every tabla artist should be an able accompanist. In fact, the art of accompaniment does need a better craftsmanship and a greater aesthetic sense than the art of tabla solo presentation. Given to these facts, the repertoire of tabla finds complete expression only during a solo performance. The collection of compositions of tabla from the masters of yesteryears is huge, and how many tabla players are able to put it across the listeners, even a meagre part of what they have learnt in the lineage? And the truth is that the Tabla is the primary accompanying instrument in North Indian classical, fusion and light music today. This is the struggle in its versatility. The music fraternity and the organizers need to ponder over this and improve their endeavors to promote Tabla more, as a solo instrument also.

Both the tabla and the Kathak dances are rhythmic and hence there seems to be harmony among them. In the past, mridang was compatible with dance. But later when the dance included aspects such as adornment, miraculousness, pigmentation, etc., the solemn open and strongly relevant of Pakhawaj was unable to reconcile these aspects. In such a situation, the tabla instrument was used for association with Kathak dance, which is considered to be the sophisticated and developed form of mridang (pakhavajdha). The accompaniment of the tabla instrument proved successful in presenting almost all aspects of the dance accurately. Lucknow and the Banaras Gharana have played an important role in the association of Kathak dance. For the consistency of Kathak dance, the tabla players created and selected the characters, character groups, compositions according to the characters of the dance, compositions etc. The result of this is that with time, tabla playing material developed. Looking at the present form of Kathak.Dance also highlights the fact that tabla playing material has also played an important role in the development of Kathak.Nritya and its dance material. On this basis, both can be called complementary to each other. Music scholars also support the fact that while on one hand the tabla compositions have contributed to the enrichment of the Kathak dance, on the other hand various Kathakas have played an important role in the development of the tabla instrument. Based on the facts, the period of the Kathak dance and the revival of the tabla is considered to be the late 1700 century. It can be said that the tabla style and Kathak dance developed simultaneously. The tabla playing material; compositions and Kathak dance material; the development and expansion of compositions also continued to grow due to the tabla association with Kathak dance. The purpose of the proposed paper is to investigate and analyze the development of interrelations of the works of tabla and Kathak dance.

Los clubes analizados han sido el Murcia, Alhama, Jumilla y Águilas. El segundo objetivo de este trabajo consiste en establecer diferencias entre los equipos valorados y las líneas de juego de carácter ofensivo. El proceso de recogida de datos antropométricos se llevó a cabo siguiendo el protocolo estipulado por el ISAK. El análisis estadístico realizado fue en primer lugar descriptivo y, posteriormente, un análisis inferencial para establecer las diferencias estadísticas entre los distintos equipos y sus líneas de juego, en todas las variables de estudio. La valoración condicional se centró básicamente en la determinación del somatotipo, en la evaluación de la velocidad de lanzamiento y en la fuerza isométrica de tren superior. Los equipos de la parte superior de la tabla presentan valores superiores en las variables antropométricas pero sin ser estadísticamente significativas estas diferencias. Se constata la importancia de la mesomorfia como característica predominante en el somatotipo del jugador de balonmano. Las mayores velocidades se alcanzaron en los lanzamientos en los que hay desplazamiento previo.Abstract: The aim of this study was two fold, first to determine the body composition, physical and conditional characteristics of male handball players, who were playing in juvenile level in Murcia.

Objectives: Determine the performance and return to play (RTP) outcomes for professional baseball players that undergo surgical treatment for thoracic outlet syndrome. Methods: All professional baseball players who underwent surgical treatment of TOS between 2010-2017 were identified using the major league baseball (MLB) HITS (Health and Injury Tracking System) database. Demographic and performance data (pre and post-surgery) for each player was recorded. Standard demographic and return to play outcomes were measured for all players and compared between different types of TOS and league status. Performance variables were analyzed for pitchers and compared to a 1:1 matched set of control pitchers. Results: Overall, 52 players underwent surgery for TOS of which 46 (88%) were pitchers. Neurogenic TOS was the most common and seen in 69% of players. Venous TOS was seen in 29% of players, and a single player had arterial TOS. Following TOS surgery, 79% of players returned to play at the same level (RTSP) and played at least 3 years after surgery. There was no differences in RTSP rate based on the type of TOS. There was no statistically significant difference in RTP and RTSP rates between major and minor league players. In pitchers only, there was a 76% RTSP, which was not different from the natural attrition of control pitchers (p=0.874). Following TOS surgery, pitchers saw a decline in several performance metrics, but not statistically different when compared to the control pitchers. This indicated that the decline in performance following TOS surgery was similar to the decline seen in healthy professional pitchers as they age. Conclusions: The most common type of TOS seen in professional baseball players is neurogenic. The RTSP rate following surgery for TOS in all professional baseball players is 79%. There was no statistically significant difference in ability to RTP based on the type of TOS or league status. Pitchers who underwent surgery for TOS had no significant difference in pitching performance metrics following surgery compared to matched controls. Overall, surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome can help prolong a professional baseball players career and help pitchers maintain their performance over time similar to their peers who have not had surgery for TOS.

Abstract The distinction between positive and negative perceptions is fundamental in perception models. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between field perceptions of table tennis players and the outcome (net result) during the matches in a competition. Experimental data were collected from 10 elite table tennis players and analysed. The results addressed the following three competition field perceptions: (1) before the service, the player’s positive perceptions had significant effect on the positive outcome (winning rate) of that service; (2) the perception after the net result of the previous service increased the positive outcome of the next service, and (3) the player’s positive/negative perception during the matches affected the win/loss outcome of that competition. In conclusion, the player’s positive perceptions enhanced their winning rate during table tennis competitions. Therefore, during the training program, coaches need to develop positive perceptions and strengthen the psychological quality of table tennis players.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el efecto de los estilos de afrontamiento en la relación entre la resistencia psicológica y el estrés percibido en atletas lesionados. La población estadística incluyó a 800 jugadores de equipos deportivos de las ligas deportivas nacionales iraníes, entre los que se seleccionaron 300 atletas como muestra del studio, basándose en la tabla de Morgan por un método de muestreo de conveniencia intencional. Los instrumentos de estudio fueron 3 cuestionarios estándar. La prueba del coeficiente de Pearson y la regresión lineal se usaron para probar las hipótesis. Los resultados mostraron que las dimensiones del estilo de afrontamiento del estrés tenían un efecto significativo sobre el estrés percibido y la resiliencia psicológica. A pesar de los problemas mentales y físicos que el estrés provoca para las personas, parece que no están inactivos hacia el estrés. Para lidiar con el estrés y sus consecuencias desfavorables, los individuos a menudo adoptan algunos comportamientos que se originan a partir de sus estilos de afrontamiento. A partir de las características de la personalidad, los estilos de afrontamiento de aproximación y evitación pueden ayudar a los pacientes lesionados a tener una capacidad de recuperación psicológica. This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of coping styles on the relationship between psychological resilience and perceived stress among injured athletes. The statistical population included 800 players of sports teams of the Iranian national sports leagues, among whom 300 athletes were chosen as the study sample based on Morgan’s table by a purposive convenience sampling method. The study instruments were 3 standard questionnaires. Pearson Coefficient test and linear regression were used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that the dimensions of stress coping style had a significant effect on perceived stress and psychological resilience. Despite the mental and physical problems stress brings about for individuals, it seems they are not inactive toward stress. To cope with stress and its unfavorable consequences, individuals often adopt some behaviors which originate from their coping styles. As personality characteristics, approach and avoidance coping styles can help injured patients have psychological resilience.

Full textAbstract:
Theories of social interaction (i.e., common coding theory) suggest that visual information about the interaction partner is critical for successful interpersonal action coordination. Seeing the interaction partner allows an observer to understand and predict the interaction partner's behavior. However, it is unknown which of the many sources of visual information about an interaction partner (e.g., body, end effectors, and/or interaction objects) are used for action understanding and thus for the control of movements in response to observed actions. We used a novel immersive virtual environment to investigate this further. Specifically, we asked participants to perform table tennis strokes in response to table tennis balls stroked by a virtual table tennis player. We tested the effect of the visibility of the ball, the paddle, and the body of the virtual player on task performance and movement kinematics. Task performance was measured as the minimum distance between the center of the paddle and the center of the ball (radial error). Movement kinematics was measured as variability in the paddle speed of repeatedly executed table tennis strokes (stroke speed variability). We found that radial error was reduced when the ball was visible compared to invisible. However, seeing the body and/or the racket of the virtual players only reduced radial error when the ball was invisible. There was no influence of seeing the ball on stroke speed variability. However, we found that stroke speed variability was reduced when either the body or the paddle of the virtual player was visible. Importantly, the differences in stroke speed variability were largest in the moment when the virtual player hit the ball. This suggests that seeing the virtual player's body or paddle was important for preparing the stroke response. These results demonstrate for the first time that the online control of arm movements is coupled with visual body information about an opponent.

AbstractThe Topographic Attentive Mapping (TAM) network is a biologically-inspired classifier that bears similarities to the human visual system. In case of wrong classification during training, an attentional top-down signal modulates synaptic weights in intermediate layers to reduce the difference between the desired output and the classifier’s output. When used in a TAM network, the proposed pruning algorithm improves classification accuracy and allows extracting knowledge as represented by the network structure. In this paper, sport technique evaluation of motion analysis modelled by the TAM network was discussed. The trajectory pattern of forehand strokes of table tennis players was analyzed with nine sensor markers attached to the right upper arm of players. With the TAM network, input attributes and technique rules were extracted in order to classify the skill level of players of table tennis from the sensor data. In addition, differences between the elite player, middle level player and beginner were clarified; furthermore, we discussed how to improve skills specific to table tennis from the view of data analysis.

The aim of the research was to determine the effects of applied technical and tactical characteristics of table tennis players on their success in competitions. The representative sample consisted of 48 top senior table tennis players from Bosnia and Herzegovina, age 18 and 36, selected on the basis of a qualification tournament. The measuring instruments for this study included eight assessment tests for the table tennis players' technical and tactical characteristics and one test for assessing success in table tennis competitions. Technical and tactical characteristics of the participants were evaluated by five experts who analyzed the efficacy of technical and tactical characteristics of the players on a scale ranging from 1 to 5. The methods of processing the results included descriptive statistical procedures, the multiple correlation coefficient, the determinant coefficient and a multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that technical and tactical characteristics have a major impact on the player's performance and are essential for table tennis success. Based on the value of the regression coefficients and their significance, it may be concluded that the 5 variables statistically significantly contribute to the regression model are: the efficiency of the serve; the efficiency of preventing the attack of the opponent and preparation of the players’ own attack; confidence when attacking across the table; the efficiency in the active defence and the efficiency of movement during the game. In the hierarchy of significance, the most important variables are the serve efficiency and efficiency of preventing the attack of an opponent and preparation of the player's own attack. The efficiency of the serve allows an attacker to realize technical and tactical ideas and usually gain initiative in the game. By returning a serve we can prevent or at least make it harder for the opponent to attack again. A serve return can also allow us to take the initiative

Objectives: The incidence of ACL injuries in WNBA athletes has been on the rise, despite the high rates of ACL injury there is a paucity of recent research examining the effect of ACL reconstruction on RTP and performance in these athletes. This cohort study seeks to quantify the effect of ACL reconstruction on RTP and performance on WNBA athletes. Methods: All ACL tears sustained in the WNBA from 1997-2018 were identified. BMI, age and position at the time of injury were collected for each player. RTP rates were calculated and performance data was collected for each player before and after injury to determine changes in playing time and statistical performance. Players who successfully RTP after ACL reconstruction were compared to a group of healthy controls who were matched by age, years of experience, position, height, and BMI. Statistics at one year and three years’ post-injury were compared to assess acute and longitudinal changes in performance relative to pre-injury baseline. Results: A total of fifty-nine WNBA players sustained an isolated ACL tear during the study period. Forty-one (69.5%) were able to RTP. There was no difference in demographic characteristics between forty-one players and matched controls. Following RTP athletes played an average of 7.5±12.8 fewer games, 5.1±9.2 fewer minutes per game, and scored 3.7±5.0 less points per game in their first year compared to the year prior to injury. (Table1) When compared to matched controls, WNBA players returning from ACL reconstruction demonstrated a significant decline in games played, games started, minutes per game, rebounds, assists, and blocks per game in their first season after RTP. These differences resolved by year three post-surgery (Table 2). Conclusions: There is a high RTP rate following ACL reconstruction in WNBA athletes. Players may experience a decrease in playing time and performance initially when returning to play, however these variables were found to return to baseline over time.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relation of self-talking with decision-making styles. A total of 143 table tennis players, including 67 females and 76 males with 22.79±7.79 average of age and average 10.01±6.30 sports years participated in the study. In order to collect data in the study, the self-talk scale developed by Zervas, Stavrou and Psychountaki (2007) and adapted to the Turkish Culture by Engur (2011), and the decision making styles scale developed by Mann et al. (1998) and adapted to Turkish by Deniz (2004) were used. According to the findings of the study, self-talk score, it was determined that self-esteem in decision making and careful decision-making scores were high and avoidant, procrastination and panic decision-making scores were low. According to the correlation analysis, cognitive function and motivational function dimensions were found to be positive with careful decision-making from sub-dimensions, and were found to be negative with procrastination and panic decision-making from sub-dimensions, and decision-making styles scale of cognitive function dimension were found to be positive with self-esteem dimension. Significant differences were determined in the sub-dimensions of the decision-making scale based on the playing for national team, age, and playing status in the leagues of the sports players. As a result, it was determined that self-talk of table tennis players in a positive way increases self-esteem and careful decision-making, while decreasing procrastination and panic and decision-making.

No research that has analyzed the structural characteristics, physiological profile, and energy demands in the game of table tennis as played by women is available. The present study aimed to evaluate the physiological, metabolic, and temporal variables of table tennis players and to observe gender differences. Forty-eight elite table tennis players participated in this study: 24 men (25.3 ± 4.07 years) and 24 women (22.3 ± 3.8 years). During simulated competition, temporal structure, heart rate (HR), and lactate (LA) were evaluated. The maximum ergospirometric evaluations were performed in a laboratory. The total table tennis (TT) time and the total resting time (TRT) were longer for men (p < 0.05), but game density was higher for women (p < 0.05). During rallies, the real playing time (RPT) was longer for women, while the TRT was longer for men (p < 0.05). The maximum HR, minimum HR, and maximum LA concentrations were higher for men (p < 0.05). The obtained data reveal gender differences in the physiological, metabolic, structural, and temporal variables in table tennis players. The analysis of the studied variables could allow training sessions to be planned and organized according to table tennis players’ gender.

ObjectivesTo determine whether specific injury measures were associated with team performance in the Australian Football League (AFL).Methods15 289 injuries caused players from 18 teams to miss 51 331 matches between 1997 and 2016. Data were aggregated to the team level. We analysed the associations among injury measures and team performance (reaching finals/playoffs and specific ladder/table position). Injury measures per team included: injury incidence, injury severity, injury burden, player match availability and percentage of the full player roster injured. We also weighted injury measures by five measures of player value.ResultsAFL teams’ injury burden and player match availability were associated with final table position (r2=0.03, p<0.05). Player value weighted injury burden was different between finalists and non-finalists (mean difference=−8, p<0.001) and explained 12% of the variation in the table position of teams (p<0.001). For a team, nine missed matches due to injury (burden weighted by a best and fairest player rating system) was associated with one lower table position. Player match availability weighted by player value was higher for finalists than non-finalists (mean difference=1.7, p<0.01) and explained 7% of the variation in the table position of teams (p<0.001).Discussion and potential implicationsThe impact of injury (burden weighted by best and fairest) explained up to 12% of the variation in final table position—this is particularly relevant to making/not making playoffs as well as home ground/travel advantages for those teams that make the one-game format of AFL playoffs (not home-away or best of seven format).

Full textAbstract:
Opponent modeling is a critical mechanism in repeated games. It allows a player to adapt its strategy in order to better respond to the presumed preferences of its opponents. We introduce a modeling technique that adaptively balances safety and exploitability. The opponent's strategy is modeled with a set of possible strategies that contains the actual one with high probability. The algorithm is safe as the expected payoff is above the minimax payoff with high probability, and can exploit the opponent's preferences when sufficient observations are obtained. We apply the algorithm to a robot table-tennis setting where the robot player learns to prepare to return a served ball. By modeling the human players, the robot chooses a forehand, backhand or middle preparation pose before they serve. The learned strategies can exploit the opponent's preferences, leading to a higher rate of successful returns.

AbstractThe current study proposes a novel approach that improves the conventional performance analysis in table tennis by introducing the concept of frequency, or the number of shots, of each shot number. The improvements over the conventional method are as follows: better accuracy of the evaluation of skills and tactics of players, additional insights into scoring and returning skills and ease of understanding the results with a single criterion. The performance analysis of matches played at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London was conducted using the proposed method. The results showed some effects of the shot number and gender differences in table tennis. Furthermore, comparisons were made between Chinese players and players from other countries, what threw light on the skills and tactics of the Chinese players. The present findings demonstrate that the proposed method provides useful information and has some advantages over the conventional method.

Abstract The goal of this research was to determine whether there was a connection between a player's mental toughness and his ability level in state-level Table Tennis competition. Methods: State-level male table tennis players (n=25) took the Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire (a measure of characteristics associated with mental toughness) and the Pushpendra Purashwani Table Tennis Skill Test (a test of table tennis skills; the Alternate Push Test and Alternate Counter Test were chosen). The data reveal a favourable relationship between mental toughness and overall athletic performance. Consistency and the Alternate Counter Test were positively correlated at the.01 level of significance. The study's findings corroborate a link between measures of mental toughness and success on the field, suggesting that mentally strong athletes also enjoy greater physical and mental prowess. There is a need for further research on the correlations of mental toughness with training experience and age of players, as well as effective strategies to increase mental toughness, as well as the differences between individual and team sports.

Abstract Background The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) protocol to control the spread of COVID-19 among professional soccer players is based on four cornerstone measures: (1) Tracing all symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 cases by clinical monitoring and nasal swab SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing up to 3 days before the soccer games; (2) Respiratory isolation of all SARS-CoV-2 positive players for at least 10 days, regardless symptoms; (3) All player with clinical suspicion of COVID-19 were immediately quarantined; (4) If a player became SARS-CoV-2 positive after the game, the other players were allowed to play the next game, if they remained asymptomatic and SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR negative. Understanding how antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 evolve can provide insights into therapeutic and testing approaches for COVID-19. In the present study we profile the antibody responses of players up to nine months from a SARS-CoV-2 positive RT-PCR test. Methods Serum samples were obtained from 955 soccer players, and analyzed at the same laboratory in São Paulo city, in the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein. It was used the cPas Technology, the sVNT kit for detecting and measuring circulating neutralizing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Results Neutralizing antibody was positive for 416 samples (416/955=44%; C.I. 95%= [40%; 47%]). From the 955 soccer players, 454 had RT-PCR+ previously, up to nine months until the neutralizing antibody tests. From this 454 players, 172 (38%) had neutralizing antibody below 20% (C.I. 95% = [34%; 42%]), 30 (7%) between 20% and 30% (C.I. 95% = [5%; 9%]), and e 252 (56%) above 30% (C.I. 95% =[51%; 60%]). Antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 were significantly higher in individuals RT-PCR+ (Table 1). There was no difference between the neutralizing antibody responses status to SARS-CoV-2 and the time between the RT-PCR+ and the neutralizing antibody test (p-value = 0.423; Figures 1 and 2, Table 2). Table 1. Neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2. Figure 1. Scatter plot with Time between RT-PCR+ and neutralizing antibody (days) versus Neutralizing antibody levels. Table 2. Time between RT-PCR+ and neutralizing antibody (days) versus Neutralizing antibody levels. Conclusion This study found neutralizing activity of infection against SARS-CoV-2 in 63% RT-PCR+ individuals, but only in 26% in RT-PCR(-) players. Level of neutralizing antibody responses maintained stable until up to nine months after a RT-PCR+. Figure 2.

BackgroundIn individual sports, the effect that injuries have on an athlete’s performance, success and financial profit is implicit. In contrast, the effect of a single player’s injury or one player’s absence in team sports is much more difficult to quantify, both from the performance perspective and the financial perspective.ObjectivesIn this study, we attempted to estimate the effect of injuries on the performance of football teams from the English Premier League (EPL), and the financial implications derived from this effect.MethodsOur analysis is based on data regarding game results, injuries and estimations of the players’ financial value for the 2012–2013 through the 2016–2017 seasons.ResultsWe found a statistically significant relationship (r=−0.46, 95% CI −0.6 to 0.28, p=0.001) between the number of days out due to injuries suffered by team members during a season and the place difference between their actual and expected finish in the EPL table (according to overall player value). Moreover, we can interpolate that approximately 136 days out due to injury causes a team the loss of one league point, and that approximately 271 days out due to injury costs a team one place in the table. This interpolation formula is used as a heuristic model, and given the relationship specified above accounts for a significant portion of the variance in league placement (21%), the remaining variance is related to other factors. Calculating the costs of wage bills and prize money, we estimate that an EPL team loses an average of £45 million sterling due to injury-related decrement in performance per season.ConclusionProfessional football clubs have a strong economic incentive to invest in injury prevention and rehabilitation programmes.

The article considers the issue of improving the system of sports training of players in table tennis on the basis of the principle of programmed learning, which is implemented in the form of a comprehensive method of training process. Programmed training in sports training of table tennis players at the preparatory stage is optimized using a system of tools and methods built in the form of a structural-logical scheme is an important area of research. Methodological ways of building a system of sports training of table tennis players on the basis of the method of programmed learning are revealed, which made it possible to determine the principles of building target tasks, which are a certain block of physical exercises structured with a single goal setting. It was necessary to summarize the experience of modern methods of organization for the construction of programmed training in sports training of table tennis players by implementing the principles of complexity and coherence of training activities. At the present stage of development of game sports fundamental knowledge of the content of game, systems of preparation, various, flexible and highly automated skills and perfect activity of functional systems of an organism is especially necessary. Difficulties that turn out to be unpredictable by a program of tactical actions are usually related to informative influences. This is due to the probable nature of the game activity, which, first of all, concerns the information aspect. Despite a certain number of standard game actions, which were mentioned above, the actions of athletes who play sports are based on the response to changes in the situation, the conditions of wrestling. With such a variety of forms of manifestations of the player's actions are constantly associated with the solution of situational motor problems that require the use of programming mechanisms.

Background: Each year, between 1.1 and 1.9 million sports and recreation-related concussions occur annually in US children aged =18 years. Football has a high concussion incidence relative to other youth sports. This is particularly concerning given recent evidence suggesting sport-related concussions are associated with late-life cognitive and psychological dysfunction in former athletes. Unfortunately, there are currently few proven interventions to prevent concussion in football. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a mentored intervention program designed to teach safe play techniques and thereby reduce head impact frequency and severity in high school football players. Methods: In a clustered quasi-experimental study design, the player education intervention program was provided to two out of three teams in year one, two out of four teams in year two, and all four teams in year three. Head impacts were measured using in-helmet accelerometers worn by all players. Head impact data and game video were used to identify “high risk” players on intervention teams to receive individualized mentoring. Players were identified as candidates for intervention based on three criteria: 1) greater than 20% of head impacts sustained to the top of the head, 2) greater than 7% of impacts exceeded 60 g in peak linear acceleration, and 3) player sustained a concussion. High-risk players attended 3 individual or small-group education sessions over 3 weeks with a mentor who analyzed game film to teach safer playing techniques. Intervention effects were evaluated by comparing post-intervention to pre-intervention head impact data. Coach and player satisfaction were assessed to evaluate the program’s acceptability and impact. Results: 220 athletes (143 intervention; 77 control) participated. Of these, 32 (14%) were classified “high risk” with playing techniques amenable to intervention. Overall, 21 (66%) of mentored athletes demonstrated a reduction in top-of-head impacts (considered a high-risk impact zone) and 17 (53%) of mentored athletes demonstrated a reduction in high magnitude (>60 g) hits. On average, the proportion of top-of-head impacts dropped 2.75% in mentored players, and 2.04% in non-mentored players. The proportion of head impacts classified as high-magnitude (>60 g) dropped 1.07% from pre- to post-intervention in mentored players. There was minimal (<1%) change in high magnitude impacts in non-mentored players. In post-season exit surveys, most mentored players “agreed” (n=18, 69%) that his playing behaviors improved because of the study. Most intervention team coaches thought the study was “effective” (n=31, 97%). Conclusions/Significance: Mentoring effects were modest; however, athletes and coaches viewed the program as effective. Behavioral interventions have potential to reduce head impact frequency and severity in football but may require more intensive mentoring than the 3-session model tested in this study.

Many controlled studies and neurological studies demonstrate that men and women are physically and mentally different. The purpose of this study is to find out whether there is any gender difference in respiratory capacity between trained athletes of both gender. This study was conducted at Kolkata (Serampore area), West Bengal, India. The subject was trained table tennis players of age group was 14 – 17 years. Significant differences have been found in height (cm), W/H ratio and PIF (l/s) between male and female lawn tennis players and all these values are significantly higher (P<0.05) in male than female players. Greater mean height in trained male than female tennis player of same age range is advantageous for male. This might be due to their own growth pattern under the influences of different specific hormones which is not considered in this study. Higher centrally located fats in trained male than female tennis player in this age range might be due to less affectivity of physical training in male. Higher central fat distribution may hinder different lung capacities by influencing abdominal cavity. Higher peak inspiratory flow in trained male than female tennis player indicates inspiratory muscles are more powerful in male player of this age range. So, it can be concluded from this study that gender differences in lung capacities can be minimized by proper training load in female trained player at least in 14-17 years age range. This study also claimed that stature is not only the decisive factor for differences in lung capacities in male and female trained tennis player of 14-17 years age range. Body composition, central fat distribution, active inspiratory muscles and proper physical training have definite role in improving lung capacities of trained male and female tennis player.

(1) Background: Computer-based analyses have been widely used to study aspects of various team and racket sports. However, such analyses have so far eluded table tennis, except in special competition forms, under fixed laboratory conditions or have only tracked the ball. The aim was to detect a basic, global, positional behavior, independent of the score. (2) Methods: We investigated the player position of professional male table tennis players with respect to handedness (right/left), playing system (offensive/defensive) and racket holding (shakehand/penholder) to determine the applicability of automated analysis systems. We used existing video data of competitive matches (N = 198 sets; 2006–2020) and transliterated them into an x–y coordinate system. From this, we were able to conduct a heatmap analysis for different types of players. (3) Results: The comparison between right- and left-handed players resulted in a significant difference in the positioning of the x coordinate (D = 0.5663; p = 0.001). Both groups positioned themselves on average in their own backhanded half of the table (Re: x = −0.22 m, Li: x = 0.39 m). (4) Conclusions: Our results have yielded valuable insights into the importance of analyzing positional behavior in a differentiated manner depending on handedness, playing strategy and racket holding posture.

We present Fiascomatic, a mixed initiative system for generating consistent scenarios for the indie storytelling RPG Fiasco. Players can repeatedly generate scenarios, locking down aspects of a scenario they like and regenerating aspects they don’t, until they arrive at a scenario they find entertaining. It is not a story generation system; it generates scenarios from which players then generate stories. Nor is it intended to generate optimal scenarios; it generates random scenarios which the players can then curate according to their taste. Fiascomatic presents an interesting intermediate point between non-automated table-top RPGs and fully automated systems such as story generators or autonomous characters. It is a tool that can be used by Fiasco players to speed the generation of game setups while preserving creative input on the part of the players, and by Fiasco playset authors to make automated playsets.

Objectives: Several studies have examined the incidence and effects of concussions in professional football, baseball, and hockey, but there has been limited evaluation of the effects of concussions in National Basketball Association (NBA) players. This study aims to evaluate the epidemiologic trends of concussions, as well as the effects of concussions on in-game performance, in NBA players. Methods: Publicly available records were searched to include all players who sustained an in-game concussion while playing in the NBA from the beginning of the 1999 NBA season to the conclusion of the 2018 season. For each player the following variables were collected: date of injury, number of days and games missed before returning to game play, player efficiency rating (PER) in the season of injury, the season preceding the injury, and the season following the injury, position of the injured player, and the incidence of multiple concussions for a single player. Concussion trends before and after the institution of the NBA Concussion Protocol were calculated, as well as the effects on PER after return to play. Results: From the start of the 1999 season to the end of the 2018 season, 185 basketball-related concussions were incurred across 149 NBA players. All players were able to return to play following a first-time concussion after missing an average of 7.7 days and 3.5 games. The NBA Concussion Protocol was instituted ahead of the 2011-2012 season, prior to which there were 5.7 concussions recorded/season, with an average of 6.7 days and 3.0 games missed per first-time concussion. Following the institution of the concussion protocol, there were approximately 11 more concussions recorded/season (16.7 vs. 5.7, P = 0.007), with 1.7 more days missed (8.4 vs. 6.7, P = 0.27) and 0.9 more games missed (3.9 vs. 3.0, P = 0.24) per concussion, compared to prior seasons. Of the 149 players who suffered concussions, 27 were concussed multiple times (18.1%). There was no difference found in the incidence of recurrent concussions within the same season before vs. after the institution of the concussion protocol (4 vs. 5, P > 0.05). PER was almost identical for concussed players in the season prior to the injury, the season in which the injury occurred, and the season following the injury (13.93 vs. 13.94 vs. 13.91, P = 0.998). Conclusion: There has been a significant increase in the incidence of concussions in the NBA player following the institution of a league-wide concussion protocol. This likely reflects more accurate reporting secondary to advances in player education, medical knowledge, national media coverage, and standardized testing protocols. Despite this increase in reported concussions, the amount of time missed following injury has remained relatively constant. Player performance as reported by PER was not significantly affected by sustaining a concussion. [Figure: see text][Table: see text]

Full textAbstract:
The International Cricket Council (ICC) uses the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method for resource compensation in interrupted games, which is an upgraded version of the Duckworth-Lewis (D/L) method. In order to compensate resources, the D/L method uses a generic resource table for all teams without considering both teams’ past performance, venue of the match, and players participating in that match. That is why teams cannot strategize according to their strengths and play according to D/L’s requirements. This paper presents a method for Player-aware Resource Compensation in Interrupted Cricket Matches (PRCICM). The PRCICM model is dynamic because it allocates a different number of resources to different teams based on their resource usage in the past, players involved in the match and venue of the match. The proposed method eliminates the need to find the generalized scoring patterns with a player-driven approach. A team-specific approach is more appropriate because of teams’ different formations and playing approaches.

Some of these issues include the discomfort and fatigue that could develop from an imbalanced posture resulting in imbalanced seat pressure distribution exerted on the gluteus maximus, as well as pressure sores that could develop during training and competition. Such issues impact the immediate and long-term development of competitiveness in the player. Through a systematic and quantitative understanding of the situation, further structural enhancements to the wheelchair as well as modifications to the training methodologies, strategies and techniques of gameplay could be implemented.

The house advantage for Baccarat is known, hence the theoretical win can be determined. What is impractical to theoretically determine is the frequency and financial implications of extreme events, for example, prolonged winning streaks coupled with various betting patterns. The simulation herein provides such granularity. We explore the effect of following the ‘hot hand’, that is, rapidly escalating bets when players are on a winning streak. To minimize their exposure, casino management sets a table bet maximum as well as a table differential. These figures can and do serve as a means to differentiate one casino from another. As the allowable bet maximum increases so does the total amount bet, which increases the theoretical winnings, thus suggesting that a high bet limit and differential is beneficial for the house. However, the greater are these amounts, the greater the number of shoes that end with players losing relative to a constant betting scenario (the number of times a player wins at all can drop from ~47% of the time to less than a quarter); but there will, on occasion, be more extreme payouts to players. This simulation is therefore intended to help casino managers set betting limits that maximize total winnings while bearing in mind both the likelihood and magnitude of negative outcomes to the casino.

Objectives: Previous studies in the evidence-based literature suggest that lumbar spine injuries can lead to a significant decrease in athletic performance. This phenomenon is particularly evident in sports that require repetitive truncal rotation, such as baseball. Although we have previously characterized the natural history of symptomatic spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis in professional baseball players, no prior study has investigated the impact of pars injuries on player performance in this patient population. The purpose of this study was to report performance-based outcomes following symptomatic pars injuries in elite-level baseball athletes. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among all professional baseball players who presented with a symptomatic pars defect between 2011 and 2016. Both Major League and Minor League players were enrolled using a de-identified injury surveillance database maintained by the MLB. Lumbar spine imaging reports were reviewed to confirm the radiologic diagnosis of spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis. Players were stratified according to baseball position (pitcher vs. position player). Primary outcome measures for pitchers were earned run average (ERA) and walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP), while primary outcomes for position players were batting average (AVG) and on-base plus slugging (OPS). Paired t tests were used to compare pre-injury statistical performance to post-injury performance, with p < 0.05 treated as statistically significant. Results: During the defined study period, 75 players presented with low-back pain in the setting of a pars defect. 47 players were diagnosed with spondylolysis (62.7%), while 28 were diagnosed with spondylolisthesis (37.3%). Of those individuals, 19 players were excluded due to incomplete statistical data in the MLB injury surveillance system. Pre-injury vs. post-injury statistical comparisons are presented in Table 1. Pitching performance after the pars injury did not significantly differ with regard to the primary outcome measures, ERA (3.45 vs. 4.73; p = 0.25) and WHIP (1.28 vs. 1.47; p = 0.26). There was also no significant difference in any of the secondary outcomes - runs per 9 innings (R/9), hits per 9 innings (H/9), walks per 9 innings (BB/9), strikeouts per 9 innings (K/9), home runs per 9 innings (HR/9), and strikeout-to-walk ratio (K/BB). Similarly, batting performance among position players did not significantly differ from pre-injury to post-injury with regard to the primary outcomes, AVG (.261 vs. .256; p = 0.59) and OPS (.672 vs. .667; p = 0.87), or any of the secondary outcomes - on-base percentage (OBP), slugging percentage (SLG), runs per plate appearance (R/PA), hits per plate appearance (H/PA), runs batted in per plate appearance (RBI/PA), extra-base hits per plate appearance (XBH/PA), home runs per plate appearance (HR/PA), and walk-to-strikeout ratio (BB/K). Conclusion: This study represents the most comprehensive analysis of the impact of symptomatic pars injuries on MLB player performance. While previous studies suggest that lumbar injuries lead to shorter careers in both pitchers and position players, our current data demonstrate that pars defects do not cause a significant decrease in performance when MLB athletes return to play following these injury episodes. Given the limitations of our study design, larger prospective investigations are needed to validate these conclusions. [Table: see text]

In this paper, we propose a new formulation of Nash games for solving a general multi-objectives optimization problems. The objective of this approach is to split the optimization variables, allowing us to determine numerically the strategies between two players. The first player minimizes his function cost using the variables of the first table P and the second player, using the second table Q. The original contribution of this work concerns the construction of the two tables of allocations that lead to a Nash equilibrium on the Pareto front. The second proposition of this paper is to find a Nash Equilibrium solution, which coincides with the Kalai--Smorodinsky solution. Two algorithms that calculate P, Q and their associated Nash equilibrium, by using some extension of the normal boundary intersection approach, are tried out successfully. Then, we propose a search engine to look for similar images of a given image based on multiple image representations using Color, Texture and Shape Features.

Augmented Human (AH) is a research field enhancing human physical abilities or supporting human activity using advanced technologies. As one of the AH approaches, previous studies have attached an actuator to a human body or tools used for an activity. The attached actuators are used to control their movements to support an activity. In this study, instead of attaching actuators, we propose to directly apply noncontact ultrasound force to a lightweight tool to manipulate it. The advantage of using noncontact force is that users do not need to wear a specific device and to process tools used for the activity. As a proof-of-concept system, we developed an ultrasound-based curveball system by which table tennis players can shoot a curveball regardless of their physical ability. In the system, a moving ping-pong ball (PPB) is a target tool for remote manipulation. The system curves the trajectory of a moving PPB by continuously focusing ultrasound on it. Users can control the curve timing and the curve direction (left or right) using a racket-shaped controller. In the user study, we conducted an actual table tennis match using the curveball system and qualitatively confirmed that the player using the system had the upper hand. Another user study using a ball dispenser quantitatively showed that the ultrasound-driven curveball increased the number of mistakes of the opponent player 2.95 times. These results indicate that the proposed concept is feasible.

In general, sporting triumphs are likely to be direct reflections of a society’s socioeconomic development. Chinese table tennis achievements have had a huge impact on Chinese society since 1950. The Chinese table tennis team has won every title in a row, which not only humiliates the World Table Tennis Federation (ITBF) but also additionally prompts the present situation of “flourishing Chinese table tennis and debauched global table tennis.” Furthermore, the impacts of achievement on Chinese society are not restricted to sports. It essentially affects society. Regardless of the way that table tennis has a long history, there is little critical familiarity with the physiological necessities of players, particularly during challenge. In this layout, a gander was taken at exploring the ongoing comprehension of the body’s capabilities during table tennis planning and competition, as well as what kind of readiness is involved. The anaerobic alactic system is fundamentally called into play during hard practice and challenge, while the tirelessness structure is depended upon to recover the anaerobic stores depleted during such effort, according to match and practice examination of table tennis coordination. While the anaerobic alactic system is the most overwhelming structure involved during seasons of effort in table tennis, a solid breaking point in steadiness permits a player to recover more quickly for the accompanying match and day of competition. This study surveys explicit examinations connected with cutthroat table tennis and accentuates the requirement for table tennis-explicit preparation and exploration drives. The contribution of the study was to see how sports vision training affected certain visual abilities and table tennis players’ ability to play. The experimental group that followed a 12-week sports vision training regimen demonstrated a significant improvement in selected visual abilities and table tennis playing ability, according to the study’s findings. On all of the examined variables, the control group showed no significant improvement.

This study focuses on bankroll management, defined as the process of determining the right fraction of the bankroll one should put at risk in a particular advantageous situation, examined in a poker tournament context. The aim of the study is to conduct a theoretical analysis of bankroll management based on the Kelly criterion in a typical large poker tournament, using the actual World Series of Poker Main Event payout table as an example of such tournaments. A main conclusion of this paper is that a long-term profitable poker player’s expected return on investment in tournaments (i.e., the level of advantage) does not provide sufficient information to obtain an optimal bankroll management policy for the player. The level of advantage is obviously an important factor, but the player’s strategic approach to the game, that is, if the player primarily tries to avoid finishing the tournament without a payout or if the player primarily tries to finish in the very top of the ranking, is also very important to consider.

With the continuous development of computer technology, the technology in designing and developing 3D games has been more and more mature. Compared to the traditional ones, 3D games present more real screen effects and stronger visual impact due to its adopting the concept of stereo space coordinates, increasing the arbitrariness of space operation and its own attraction. By applying media video technology to 3D table tennis games, players can hit the ball with the racket to implement the move of the ball in the game scene. To achieve the ball’s real-time depiction, every frame in the game must be updated. An outstanding 3D game cannot be developed without an excellent 3D game engine. The complex graphic algorithm of the game is encapsulated in modules efficiently while simple and effective SDK interface, powerful editor and matching third-party plug-ins are provided externally. Meanwhile, it possesses the function in network, database and script, etc, making the development of 3D games easier and of high quality. Numerous UI (graphical interfaces) are offered in the whole game to help players understand and learn the game. The game is operated so easily that it can be well played only through click, which simplifies the fussy operation of regular ones and provides players with more enjoyment.
