PURPOSE This study was conducted for the purpose of exploring the direction and quality of Pilates research in the future by comparing and analyzing research trends in the field of Pilates natural science at home and abroad.METHODS In order to analyze domestic and foreign Pilates research trends, we analyzed academic papers of the last 10 years (2013-2022) in the natural science field, and domestic papers were used as the keyword ‘Pilates’ using DP Pia, Kiss, and Riss, which are academic information services. A total of 105 papers were used by searching. For overseas studies, Pub med and Scholar were used, and only SCI and SCIE papers were collected and 129 papers were searched.RESULTS First, according to the comparative analysis of research trends by domestic and foreign fields, physiology (61%), kinematics (24.8%), and rehabilitation (14.2%) were found in the order of domestic, whereas in foreign countries, kinematics (34.9%) and physiology (33.3%) and rehabilitation (31.8%), a study with a relatively even distribution was conducted. Second, in the comparative analysis by study subject, domestic literature was the highest with 68.7% of studies targeting women, and was conducted separately by various age groups. Foreign fields, 40.9% of studies conducted by gender were found, and there were many studies that considered the characteristics of musculoskeletal disorders and metabolic diseases rather than gender. Third, looking at the comparison by research variable, studies have been conducted on various topics in physiology and kinetic dynamics. However, while domestic studies have focused on changes in body composition, foreign studies are actively conducting research on muscle function, musculoskeletal disorders, and rehabilitation.CONCLUSIONS In summary, it is judged that active research in the field of kinematics and rehabilitation should be conducted for more diverse subjects in the field of Pilates.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of present study was to analyze the acute effects of exergame on glucose control after glucose ingestion in individuals with pre- and type 2 diabetes.METHODS We enrolled 60 adults with pre-diabetes (Pre-DM, 58.1±9.2 years, n=20) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM, 61.7±9.9 years, n=40). We measured fingertip capillary blood glucose level at 10 min before, 30 min after, 60 min after and 120 min after the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). For the non-exergame control days, participants pursued normal daily activities but refrained from unusual strenuous physical activity. On the exercise days, participants conducted on exergame at 30 min after 75-g OGTT for 30 min.RESULTS Acute exergame reduced the glucose level 60 min, ∆BG30-60 and ∆BG60-120 after glucose ingestion compared to the control trials (p<0.01, p<0.01 and p<0.001 respectively). The cumulative glucose total area under the curve was lower with exergame than under the control condition (p<0.05).CONCLUSION Acute exergame after glucose ingestion can improve hyperglycemia and glycemic excursion.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of weight training with controlled blood flow occlusion compared to conventional resistance training, in the ageing population.METHODS Twenty-three healthy female subjects (aged 40-55) were randomly assigned to one of three groups; low intensity blood flow restriction training (LI-BFRT) (n = 9), conventional resistance training (RT) (n = 7) and control (CON) (n = 7). The RT group trained between 65-70% one repetition maximum (1RM) and the LI-BFRT group trained at 30% 1RM while wearing pressure cuffs inflated to 100-120% of brachial systolic blood pressure (bSBP). Relative appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM/weight), isokinetic strength and power were tested pre and post 8 weeks of training.RESULTS Upper limb ASM/weight increased significantly in the LI-BFRT and RT groups (both p < 0.001). Only LI-BFRT showed significant difference compared with the CON group (p < 0.01). Lower limb ASM/weight improved in both the LI-BFRT (p < 0.01) and CON (p < 0.01) groups without group differences. Lower limb flexion strength increased in the LI-BFRT and RT groups (both p < 0.01), with differences between groups (p < 0.01, LI-BFRT > RT > CON). Only RT increased extension muscle strength (p < 0.05). Lower limb flexion and extension power improved following LI-BFRT (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively), significantly greater than RT in both flexion (p < 0.001) and extension (p < 0.01).CONCLUSIONS LI-BFRT may be as, if not more effective than RT for increasing muscle volume, strength and power in middle-aged women.

OBJECTIVES Although the surfing-related injuries has been increasing with growing numbers of recreational surfers worldwide, lack of epidemiological evidence about the surfing injuries. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the types and mechanism of injury in recreational surfers. We also aimed to determine the differences in the type and mechanism of injury according to surfer’s characteristics (sex and surfing experience).METHODS A total of 227 participants (149 male and 78 female) were recruited and analyzed for this study. To identify the surfing-related injuries, we investigated the types, locations, season, and mechanism of injury using a questionnaire.RESULTS The highest frequency of injury was found in skin, followed by muscle and tendon, and joints. There were not significant differences in the injury types according to the sex and surfing experience (≤12 versus >12 months). An upper limb and arm injury was significantly higher in male (p<0.01) and the torso injury was higher in female (p<0.05). Moreover, the less experience (≤12 months) of surfing was associated with higher rates of injury caused by falling or collision with other surfers.CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this is the first epidemiological study presented the surfingrelated injury among Korean population. We found the injuries mainly occurred on the skin, and muscle and tendon. In addition, our results suggest that surfers with insufficient experience may be vulnerable to injuries from falls and contact with other surfers. Consequently, these epidemiological data may be utilized to prevent and manage the injury in surfers according to surfer’s characteristic and experience.

OBJECTIVES 운동선수는 경기에 참여하는 동안 반복적으로 뇌진탕을 겪게 되는 특이한 상황에 놓여 있다. 하지만 이러한 반복적 뇌진탕 노출이 선수의 경기력과 은퇴 이후 건강에 부정적 영향을 미칠 위험이 높지만, 선수나 스포츠협회에서는 이에 대한 인지가 매우 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 본 리뷰의 목적은 스포츠에서 반복적으로 발생하고 있는 뇌진탕 문제를 해결하고자 이에 대한 기초정보를 알아보고, 뇌진탕 감소 전략을 위한 방안을 알아보는데 있다.METHODS 본 리뷰에서 활용한 연구 방법은 비체계적 문헌고찰(narrative review) 형식을 적용하였다. RESULTS 스포츠 관련 뇌진탕의 정의, 증상 및 증후, 2차충격증후군(second-impact syndrome), 뇌진탕에 따른 장기 후유증, 뇌진탕 감소와 안전모 착용 효과, 뇌진탕 후 스포츠로의 안전한 복귀를 위한 적절한 시점 등을 알아보았다.CONCLUSIONS 스포츠 현장에서 반복적으로 발생하고 있는 뇌진탕에 대한 인식부족과 이에 따른 선수 안전과 건강 이상 가능성에 대한 문제를 살펴보았다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 뇌진탕 감소 전략이 제안되었고, 뇌진탕 손상과 관련하여 선수, 코치, 부모 그리고 관련 스포츠 단체에서의 지속적인 관심이 요구되며, 뇌진탕 관련 기초 역학(epidemiology) 및 뇌 건강에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구가 절실히 필요해 보인다..
