Mawashi-Geri Jodan technique (circular kicking to the opponent’s head), is one of the most commonly used techniquesin the Karate, especially in the combat style. Although the speed of the implementation of the technique plays an important role in gaining points, there is no specific pattern for optimal performance of the technique. In this research, it was aimed at reviewing the results of the previous research that has been conducted on the effective issues relating to the success of this technique performance. The related articles were searched in ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar by considering the words like Karate, biomechanics, kinetic and kinetic analysis, EMG of Mawashi-Geri and EMG of kick. In the years ranging from 2000 to 2018, the findings of the research showed that the quadriceps muscles, especially rectus femoris muscle, played a major role in the efficacy of technique performance. Keeping the knee upward while rotating the body, the technique will be performed faster due to closer distance toward the opponent. Therefore, Karate player can obtain the required score more easily and quickly. It seems that the use of this pattern will be effective in performing the technique of Mawashi-Geri in Karate.

Objective: The present review was designed to systematize the literature on the evolution of dietary intake in Tunisian physically active subjects (i.e., physically active men and physical education students) between before, during and after Ramadan observance. Evidence Acquisition: Two electronic databases, PubMed and Science direct, were searched using a comprehensive strategy. Studies published prior to August 2018 were included if they assessed dietary intake during Ramadan in Tunisian physically active subjects. A narrative synthesis of findings was conducted. Results: Nine studies evaluated the dietary intake change between before, during and after Ramadan observance. Energy intake decreased in three studies and did not change in six studies. One study showed decreases in fat intake during Ramadan, two studies reported increases and six studies did not report significant changes. Protein intake decreased in three studies, increased in one study and did not change in five studies. Carbohydrate intake did not change in six studies and increased in three studies. Total water intake decreased in four studies and did not change in one study. Conclusions: The literature does not support that Ramadan fasting had adverse effect on dietary intake.

Based on Moon observation, every year, adults healthy Muslims practiced Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) for 29 or 30 consecutive days. During RIF Muslims are allowed to food and fluid intake only during night (from sunset to sunrise). Thus, behavioral changes are observed during RIF (e.g., food and sleep habits). Despite these changes, many healthy Muslims maintain their normal habitual physical exercise practice during RIF. However, changes in blood lipids, metabolic markers, electrolytes and hematological parameters during RIF in practitioners of physical activity are yet poorly studied. Therefore, the present review article will summarize the health specific effects of RIF in subjects engaged in physical training during Ramadan.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the validity and the reliability of a new fitness intermittent judo test using the basic movement patterns of judo. Methods: Forty-one national level judo male athletes participated in this study. Eighteen judokas performed the intermittent judo fitness test consisting of 10 × 30 s maximal interspersed with 15 second rest, the Australian shuttle test, the special judo fitness test and a judo fight. Twenty three judokas performed twice the intermittent judo fitness test on different days. Results: The results showed significant correlations between the biggest number of Uchi-komi during the intermittent judo fitness test (Uchi-komibest), the longest distance covered during Australian shuttle test and the total projection in the special judo fitness test (P 0.90). The smallest worthwhile change showed that a change of 2 and 4 Uchi-komi in Uchi-komibest and Uchi-komiTot respectively is occurred. Conclusions: The new fitness intermittent judo test is both valid and reliable measurement tool to assess judokas’ fitness at the basic judo movement patterns.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 8 weeks resistance training with creatine supplementation on body composition and physical fitness indexes in male futsal players. Methods: 20 trained futsal players were selected based on convenience sampling from East Azerbaijan and assigned randomly either to Ex + Cr group (Exercise + Creatin, n = 10) or Ex + Pl group (Exercise + Placebo, n = 10). All of the subjects performed resistance training program for 8 weeks. The Ex + Cr group ingested 0.3 g/kg creatine during loading phase 0.1 g/kg in maintenance phase. Body weight, fat free mass, fat percent, muscular strength, speed, anaerobic power and flexibility were measured before and after training program. Paired t-test and independent t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: The results suggested that body weight and fat free mass were significantly increased in both groups with greater improvements in Ex + Cr group (P ≤ 0.05). Moreover, Ex + Cr group demonstrated greater decrease in fat percent compared with Ex + Pl group (P ≤ 0.05). Also, muscular strength increased to a greater extent in the Ex + Cr compared with the Ex + Pl group (P ≤ 0.05). Finally, there was no significant difference between the two groups in speed, anaerobic power and flexibility (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusions: In general, it seems that resistance training along with creatine supplementation lead to greater increases in body weight, fat mass and muscular strength as well as greater decrease in fat percent than resistance training alone in trained futsal players.

ObjectivesNumerous studies have demonstrated that using an external focus of attention significantly enhances motor skill performance. However, limited research has been carried out on increasing the distance of an external focus of attention. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study is to determine whether learning tracking task is affected by different attentional focuses.MethodsA sample of 42 participants, after taking a pre-test, were divided randomly into three groups, including distal external group (DEG), proximal external group (PEG), and control group (COG). Proximal external focus group received instructions concerning near body movements; distal external focus group received instructions on the effect of movements in the environment, and control group did not receive any instructions. The participants practiced the tracking task in four blocks of four trials under their own condition of attention. Then, after 48 hours, they participated in a delay retention test under secondary task condition (auditory).ResultsThe results indicated that distal external focus group learned the tracking task better than proximal external focus group (P > 0.05), however, control group learned the tracking task less effectively than the other groups.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that increasing the distance of an external focus of attention improves tracking task learning, especially under secondary task, because secondary task condition enhances attention resources and shifts focus of attention to the external environment.

ObjectivesExercise is non-medical treatment and low-risk strategy for people with hypertension. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of peripheral heart action (PHA) on body composition and blood pressure in women with high blood pressure.MethodsTwenty women (age = 38 - 46 years, BMI = 21 - 31 kg/m2) who had high blood pressure (135/88 mm Hg) volunteered to participate. Ten were randomly selected and submitted to 32 PHA exercise sessions. The remaining 10 participants served as a non-exercise control group. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), skinfold, and 1RM tests of maximum strength were determined before and after 36 exercise sessions.ResultsSBP and DBP were decreased significantly (P < 0.05) in the PHA group but not in the non-exercise control group. Furthermore, the training group made significant improvements in test of one-repetition maximum and body composition compared to the control group (P < 0.05).ConclusionsResistance exercises using the PHA approach can be considered as a low-risk treatment for people with high blood pressure in order to improve blood pressure, increase muscular strength, and enhance overall fitness.
