Objectives
Concussion is the most prevalent injury in Rugby Union. Isometric neck strength tests have been used in Rugby Union to screen for modifiable injury risk factors. Several methods and variations in protocol exist for neck strength tests, including performing these tests in the ‘make’ or ‘break’ fashion. We aimed to compare these two methods, determine their association, and their intra-session reliability.
Equipment and methods
A cross-sectional study with 11 semi-professional Rugby Union players and 35 university students. Peak-force from three maximal isometric ‘make’ or ‘break’ contractions in neck flexion, extension, and right/left lateral-flexion were recorded with participants seated using a load cell device. Passing-Bablock procedures were used to assess systematic and proportional differences between methods, whereas Bland–Altman plots were constructed to assess bias and variability. Reliability was assessed using typical errors, coefficient of variations (CV), and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).
Results
There were no systematic or proportional differences based on the Passing-Bablock procedure. The Bland–Altman plots displayed mean biases ranging from 0.85–1.9 kg across directions, with small (flexion and left lateral-flexion) effect-size differences. Mean break test values (range: 21–26.7 kg) were generally greater than make test ones (range: 19.1–25.8 kg). Both methods demonstrated excellent reliability (ICC = 0.95–0.97, CV = 5.7–12%).
Conclusion
Assessment of maximal isometric neck forces has shown excellent reliability, with no systematic or proportional differences and good correlation between the two methods. The two assessment methods performed in the sitting position can be used relatively interchangeably, although a small difference in flexion and lateral bending exists.

Introduction
Body weight reduction is often used for addressing lifestyle-related diseases, and for slimming down or improving the competitiveness of athletes. It is known that high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels can be increased by habitual exercise, while low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels may not always be decreased by dietary restriction or exercise. We hypothesized that the levels of not only HDL-C, but also LDL-C improve more with body weight reduction by a combined diet-and-exercise regimen than that by a diet-only regimen.
Summary of facts and results
Six healthy young adult male volunteers participated in two 10-day crossover experiments (20 days total). The first 5 days comprised an adjustment period (energy intake, 2521 ± 304 kcal/day (mean ± standard deviation)). During the second 5-day period, participants either reduced their energy intake to 1261 ± 152 kcal/day, or reduced their energy intake to 1891 ± 228 kcal/day and exercised on a bicycle ergometer to consume 630 ± 76 kcal/day. Decreases in the serum total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C, and apolipoprotein (apo) B levels were significantly larger, and decreases in the HDL-C and apo A1 levels were significantly smaller with the diet-and-exercise regimen than with the diet-only regimen. Consequently, the atherosclerosis index (AI: (TC–HDL-C)/HDL-C ratio) was significantly lower, and the degree of its reduction was significantly larger, after the diet-and-exercise regimen than after the diet-only regimen.
Conclusion
These results suggest that reducing the body weight by a combination of diet and exercise has more beneficial effects on cholesterol metabolism, including changes in apo levels, than diet alone in healthy young adults.

Introduction
Given bone cells’ sensitive response to mechanical loading (ML), exercise and vibration therapies are used for improving bone health. The osteoblasts are functional bone cells that control the bone formation. Although osteocyte is the most sensitive bone cell to ML and regulates the function of both osteoblast and osteoclast, it is meaningful to reveal the direct effect of ML on osteoblast.
Facts and results
The osteoblast culture system plays an important role in the study of the influence mechanism of ML on osteoblasts, due to the better control of ML's nature and bio-environment of osteoblasts. Our review describes the classic models of osteoblast culture corresponding to the ML derived from daily activities as well as from the vibration therapy. We also discussed the molecular structure, location, and bio-activity of the mechanoreceptor of osteoblast. ML can directly stimulate the mechanoreceptor by changing the structure of membrane proteins and cytomembrane potential. Calcium flux, Akt, ERK and Rho/ROCK signals occur following the activation of mechanoreceptor and regulate osteogenic transcription and cytoskeleton reorganization to affect mechanosensitivity, differentiation, and proliferation of osteoblast.
Conclusion
These facts support that the regulating function of ML on osteoblasts is independent of other bio-active factors and help us gain further insights into ML in the studies of culture system and molecular mechanism, which is of great significance to treat ML as an adjuvant therapy for bone health.

Objectifs
La popularité croissante du concept de charge d’entraînement (CE) fait apparaître d’évidentes incohérences dans les définitions et les méthodes de quantification utilisées dans la littérature. Pour les limiter, les principes fondateurs du concept ont été utilisés pour proposer une définition opérationnelle de la CE permettant par la suite d’analyser la pertinence des méthodes de quantification actuelles.
Actualités
La CE peut être définie comme la valeur décrivant la dose d’effort induite par la combinaison des variables d’exercice. Les mesures de CE ne doivent pas être faussées par une pondération excessive du volume, de l’intensité ou de la densité de l’exercice. Les premières méthodes de quantification fondées sur le produit de l’intensité, du volume et de la densité ne tiennent pas compte de la nature non linéaire de leur relation et surévaluent l’influence du volume dans leurs calculs. Inversement, l’atteinte de la fatigue peut refléter avec précision les effets combinés de toutes les variables d’exercice en signalant le stress psychophysiologique maximal et, par conséquent, la CE maximale réalisable.
Projets et perspectives
Les méthodes de quantification fondées sur la fatigue exigent une meilleure compréhension et connaissance des maximums d’exercice. Les nouvelles technologies de suivi des athlètes pourraient aider à déterminer et enregistrer ces maximums.
Conclusions
Cet article suggère que, pour comparer les effets des exercices et pour accumuler des exercices dans une CE totale, la dose devrait être exprimée par rapport aux maximums des exercices résultant en CE fondées sur la fatigue.
Objective
As the concept of training load grows in popularity, inconsistencies in definitions and quantification methods used in literature are more and more apparent. To limit such disagreements, principles founding the concept were studied to propose an operational definition of training load that was subsequently used to analyze the accuracy of quantification methods.
News
Training load might be defined as the value describing the dose of effort induced by the combination of the exercise variables. Training load metrics should not be skewed by excess weighting of exercise volume, intensity, or density. Early methods based on the product of intensity, volume, and density do not take into account the non-linear nature of increases in their components, and volume is overexpressed in their training load calculations. Conversely, fatigue achievement may accurately reflect the combined effects of all exercise variables by signaling the maximal psychophysiological stress and in consequence maximal attainable training load.
Prospects and projects
Fatigue-based quantification methods require better understanding and knowledge of exercise maximums. Probably new technologies for athletes m

Objectives
The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the prevalence of impaired lumbopelvic motor control in elite tennis players with disabling episode of low back pain in the previous year.
Material and methods
Thirty-five elite tennis players (9 males and 26 females, mean age 17.4 ± 2.6 years) from two Belgian Tennis Academies were asked to fill in questionnaires related to low back pain and to perform five lumbopelvic motor control tests (bent knee fall out test, knee lift abdominal test, sitting knee extension test, waiters bow and transversus abdominis test). A physiotherapist, blinded to the medical history of the participants, scored the performance of the players for each of the tests (0 = failed, 1 = correct) resulting in a total lumbopelvic motor control score ranging from 0 to 5.
Results
Forty percent of players reported at least one past disabling episode of low back pain lasting more than five consecutive days in the previous year. Significant more altered lumbopelvic motor control tests were observed in players with a history of low back pain (score of 1.7 vs. 3.3 in those without a history of low back pain, P < 0.001). The between-group difference was particularly marked for the bent knee fall out test, the knee lift abdominal test and the transversus abdominis test (P ≤ 0.05).
Conclusions
The current study confirms that low back pain is common in tennis players and has pointed out an impaired motor control of the lumbopelvic region in most tennis players with a history of low back pain.
Objectifs
Cette étude transversale a pour objectif d’examiner la prévalence des altérations du contrôle moteur lombo-pelvien de joueurs de tennis élites avec un antécédent de lombalgie invalidante au cours de l’année écoulée.
Matériel et méthodes
Trente-cinq joueurs de tennis élites (9 hommes et 26 femmes, âge moyen de 17,4 ± 2,6 ans) issus de deux académies de tennis belges ont complété des questionnaires relatifs à la lombalgie et réalisé cinq tests de contrôle moteur lombo-pelvien (le « bent knee fall out test », le « knee lift abdominal test », le « sitting knee extension test », le « waiters bow » et la capacité à contracter le muscle transverse de l’abdomen). Une kinésithérapeute expérimentée, ignorant les antécédents médicaux des participants, a évalué les performances de chacun des joueurs lors des cinq tests (0 = échec, 1 = réalisation correcte), aboutissant à un score de contrôle moteur lombo-pelvien compris entre 0 (échec aux cinq tests) et 5 (réussite aux cinq tests).
Résultats
Quarante pour cent des joueurs ont rapporté au moins un épisode invalidant de lombalgie d’une durée minimale

Introduction
This study was designed to compare the impact of Hatha yoga versus stretching on physical outcomes, quality of life and motor function in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Summary of facts and results
The sample consisted of 23 patients with Parkinson's disease divided into 2 groups: 11 in the stretching group and 12 in the Hatha yoga group. Motor function, quality of life, functional autonomy, flexibility, lower body muscular strength, walking speed and the stabilometric test were recorded. The stretching group led to significant changes in motor function (P < 0.05), upper-limb flexibility (P < 0.05) and lower-limb muscular strength (P < 0.001). In both groups, significant improvements (P < 0.01) were observed in functional autonomy and walking speed. However, the time × group analysis showed that the stretching group had better results in functional autonomy (P < 0.05) and in walking speed (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the stabilometric test.
Conclusion
One weekly session of Hatha yoga might not be enough to bring about significant changes on motor function, quality of life, fitness, functional autonomy and balance in people with mild to moderate PD. Stretching is an interesting rehabilitation approach as it leads to significant changes in motor function and walking speed.

Background
Osteoarthritis has become an international health issue as the global population ages. Because exercise intervention is of high efficiency and therapeutic effect, the application of exercise intervention for patients with osteoarthritis is highly accepted around the world.
Aim
To perform a bibliometric analysis of literatures on “exercise for osteoarthritis” from 1975–2021.
Methods
Literature pertaining to exercise for osteoarthritis from 1975 to 2021 was collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. CiteSpace was used to analyze publication output, published countries, authors, cited references, and keywords.
Results
In total, 2199 papers were collected from the WoS Core Collection database. The analysis revealed that the number of publications has continually increased over the past few decades. The last seven years have been the fastest growth periods. USA has been being the most prolific publisher, with China is catching on. Kim L. Bennell from Australia had the highest publication output. The keywords showed that “knee osteoarthritis,” “hip,” “pain,” “older adult,” and “physical activity” were the most cited words. “Neuromuscular exercise” has become the latest research trend in the field of osteoarthritis.
Conclusion
The findings of this study demonstrate the detailed development and status of exercise interventions in osteoarthritis.
Contexte

Objective
To evaluate the adequacy of nutrient intake in relation to the current recommendations in bodybuilders during a preparation into off season (OS) and pre contest (PC) phases.
Methods
All selected athletes would be assessed for nutrient intake using a 4-week consecutive food diary by Diet Win® software. A balance Plenna® and Stadiometer (exata, Brazil) were utilized for body weight and height measurements, respectively. Body composition was determined by a 2.5 MHz A-mode transducer portable ultrasound (BodyMetrix, BX2000, IntelaMetrix, Inc., Livermore, CA). The macronutrient intakes were compared with current recommendations and thiamine, retinol, tocopherol, calcium, zinc, manganese, and copper were compared with the values recommended by the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) using the “Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) as a cut-off” except for sodium and calcium for which Adequate Intake (AI) was used as parameter.
Results
The anthropometric average values used from the scale, stadiometer and ultrasound device were 174.1 (± 1.8) cm, 82.6 (± 7.3) kg and 9.8 (± 3.4) % about height, weight and body fat percentage in PC, respectively. Where no significant differences were found between individuals (P > 0.05). The average energy balance in OS and PC was 542.32 (± 433.12) kcal and –1256.51 (± 390.35) kcal, respectively. The average macronutrients ingestion was 2.68 (± 0.73) g. kg-1 and 2.64 (± 0.75) g. kg-1 protein, 1.09 (± 0.35) g. kg-1 and 0.52 (± 0.17) g. kg-1 fats and 6.52 (± 1.09) g. kg-1 and 3.51 (± 1.00) g. kg-1 carbohydrates, respectively for the OS and PC. In PC limited nutrient intake has reached thiamine, retinol, tocopherol, calcium, zinc, manganese, and copper. What caused changes to antioxidant systems such as TBARs and TBARs/TROLOX ratio that increase in PC 33% and 59%, respectively. Besides that, tocopherol showed negative correlation with TBARs (r = –0.78).
Conclusion
During the pre-contest phase, losses in micronutrient intake may occur, especially thiamine, retinol, tocopherol, calcium, zinc, manganese, and copper, probably due to severe energy restriction applied in this phase which influences the smallest amount and food variety, which may be a mediator and to influence negatively the bodybuilding athlete antioxidant system.
