There are only few records of physical fitness data for athletes. This study aimed to explore the secular trends in physical fitness data of student athletes and the relationship of fitness parameters with the results of intercollegiate sports competitions. We used the physical fitness data of male students belonging to the Juntendo University Athletics Club from 1999 to 2019. The analysed parameters were height, weight, chest circumference, skinfold thickness, grip strength, vertical jump, sidestep, and sit and reach test. The ekiden results were examined in relation to data on medium- and long-distance activities with reference to the ranking. The study results suggested no difference in the skinfold thickness of the upper extremity across the events, except for throwing events. Grip strength declined gradually in sprints, hurdles, and jumping events, while it was high in throwing events. Vertical jump records declined over time in all events and remained at low levels in middle- and long-distance events. Sidestep improved among males in the general population, while it remained the same among all athletes. A relationship was found between grip strength and vertical jump, which are indices of muscle strength and power, and competitive results obtained in middle- and long-distance races.

Obesity is a worldwide health problem associated with hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. An unhealthy and excessive diet, low physical activity, and a sedentary lifestyle are risk factors for obesity. Obesity causes adipokine dysfunction, one of which is leptin. Leptin is known to play a role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis, especially in obesity. Hyperleptinemia in obesity is caused by leptin resistance, the result of excess energy intake and lack of physical activity or exercise, causing high levels of leptin in circulation. Regular physical exercise improves leptin signalling by regulating several proteins involved in signal transduction pathways in the hypothalamus. Physical exercise also reduces inflammation in the hypothalamus or acts as an anti-inflammatory. Stress on the endoplasmic reticulum is associated with hypothalamic inflammation and failure of insulin and leptin signalling. Improvement of leptin resistance is more effective in moderate and high-intensity aerobic exercise as well as resistance training carried out for >12 weeks with a frequency of exercise 3-4 times a week. Acute exercise and <12 weeks of exercise are not very effective in reducing leptin levels in obesity.

Masters athletes have been considered a paradigm of successful aging, which research has shown that many of the age-associated physiological changes are more related to external factors to aging itself, such as sedentary lifestyle and deconditioning. Sprint training always poses a challenge, even more in such demanding athletes as masters sprinters, given that age mainly affects those physical capabilities that are most determinant of sprint performance, such as speed, strength, flexibility, and coordination. The main purpose of this paper was to comprehensively review masters sprinters training, emphasizing certain aspects that are especially relevant in these athletes, such as training principles, specific resistance training, recovery strategies, and invisible training.

This meta-analysis evaluates how hydrolysed protein and carbohydrate (CHO) mixtures compare with intact protein and CHO mixtures regarding post-exercise plasma insulin and glucagon responses in healthy endurance trained males. Studies measuring insulin and/or glucagon following an exercise bout with ingestion of CHO vs. CHO+ protein were included. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted on the insulin peaks over time. Overall, 33 trials from 20 articles were included. The ingestion of CHO+ protein induced significantly higher insulin peaks than ingestion of CHO only from 30 to 240 minutes postexercise (30-180 min: p < .001, 210-240 min: p < .01), higher insulin area under the curve (p < .001), and greater muscle FSR ( p < .001). No statistically significant differences on insulin peaks over time were found between the ingestion of CHO+ intact protein and CHO+ hydrolysed protein or differences in muscle glycogen synthesis rate or glycogen peaks. Findings provide evidence the co-ingestion of CHO+ protein is a better strategy for recovery for endurance-type male athletes than the ingestion of CHO only. However, more research is warranted to understand whether there are differences between the ingestion of intact protein and its hydrolysed counterpart with CHO, and the impact on glucagon responses.

Purpose Understanding how humans generate movement is a fundamental goal due to its implications. The authors based their study on the methodological applications in sports of the Synchrony Theory. (DeBernardi, 2008; in press Fogliata et al., 2023) In paradigm, the perceived movement corresponds to an Effect-Movement. The motor teaching of a gesture based on the Effect can be defined as Effect-based Teaching (EbT). Motor teaching based on the visible movement of a gesture can be defined as Effect-based Teaching (EbT). While teaching based on what caused the gesture can be called Cause-based Teaching (CbT). Methods. authors aimed to evaluate the possible differences in explosive lower limb strength in the Sargent Test among adolescents instructed through these three models of demands. Results. All athletes were subjected to all three types of tests. The data showed that teaching based on Causes allows improvement of the entire group and two-thirds of the participants significantly compared to Effects-based teaching. Technical teaching also had a better outcome than Effects-based teaching, but only for a third of the sample. Conclusion. Teaching based on Causes seems to be an excellent tool for increasing performance, simple to apply and effective, allowing for instant improvement.

In studies on agility in sports, changes in agility with age have been frequently investigated. It is not precisely known how the taekwondo-specific agility test will changes according to age. This study aimed to identify and compare the specific taekwondo agility abilities of elite taekwondo players in different age groups. Twenty-seven taekwondo players (14 males-13 females) between the ages of 11-15 participated in the study. The players were divided into 2 age groups: 11-12 and 13-15 years old. Each participant completed three tests: The taekwondo-specific agility test (TSAT), Zigzag agility test (ZT) and standing long jump test (SLJ). The anthropometric characteristics were also evaluated. Then, TSAT, ZT, and SLJ tests were performed on the other day. The results indicated that there were significant differences in TSAT, ZT, and SLJ among the age groups. In addition, significant differences in BMI, height, and weight were observed between groups (p ˂ .05). The athletes in the 13-15 age group performed considerably better in the TSAT, ZT, and SLJ tests. The results also indicate that taekwondo players aged 11-12 years can improve their performance more with ZT and TSAT exercises than SLJ exercises.

Active people in sports or regular exercises make up a significant portion of individuals using nutritional supplements (NS). Therefore the purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of NS (types, sources of information), motives for going to the gym, reasons for consumption of nutritional supplements and attitudes towards nutritional supplements among gymnasium users in Eldoret Town, Kenya. Data was collected using a questionnaire from 210 participants who were sampled through systematic convenience sampling from 11 gyms in Eldoret Town, Kenya. The study found that majority (55.3%) of the respondents used nutritional supplements and most of them used the supplements believing that they enhance their performance at the gym and therefore perceived usage of supplements as acceptable. The major reasons for going to gym were to enhance health, body building and to stay fit. Most (91%) of the gym users got the information about NS from the internet and the most consumed NS were protein supplements (72%), followed by sport drinks (69%) and fish oils (60%). It is concluded that gym goers use nutritional supplements and have positive attitudes towards their use. Therefore, this study recommends that users should be sensitized on the value, precautionary measures and side effects of using nutritional supplements.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of physical activity on the quality of life of emergency room nurses working in public hospitals. The sample for the preliminary research consisted of 476 nurses, working in emergency rooms in the 3rd, 4th and 5th Health Regions of Greece. The participants’ ages ranged from 22 to 60 years (age 42.49 ± 9.5 years). The latter completed questionnaires where the quality of life and physical activity were assessed. The questionnaire SF12 was used – a questionnaire developed as a shorter alternative solution to the questionnaire SF36 (Ware & Sherbourne 1992). Furthermore, for the assessment of physical activity, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short version) was used (Craig, et. al., 2003). The results of statistical analysis showed that nurses’ quality of life level was low, and the majority of nurses displayed a low level of physical activity. Also, according to the post-hoc Scheffe test, physical activity is directly correlated to the quality of life, because it positively affects physical and mental health indicators - F(2,473), p < .05. We conclude that physical activity helps to improve the quality of life parameters, improving physical and mental health indicators.

The practice of PE has been associated with the adoption of healthy lifestyles. The objective of the study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between tobacco and alcohol consumption and the type of modality practiced; and if the reasons presented for the practice are somehow related to these habits. The sample consisted of 177 adult women, who practice Fitness, divided into 3 groups: 68 practitioners of high intensity modalities, 54 of Zen modalities, and 55 of modalities of both types. The Exercise Motivation Inventory 2 was used to assess the reasons for the practice of PE. Relating smoking and alcoholism habits with the reasons for the practice, significant positive correlations were found between: smoking habits/affiliation (p = .037); alcohol consumption/keeping healthy (p = .035). Significant inverse relationships between: number of cigarettes smoked per day/weight management (p = .000); number of cigarettes smoked per day/health (p = .048). Class 3 of women who quit smoking had statistically significant higher scores on disease (p = .012) and staying healthy (p = .001). Affiliation is a common reason for smoking and exercising; those who smoked for a longer period of time seem to resort to the practice for reasons relating to the onset of illness or to maintain their health. Women who don't drink seem to be more concerned about their health than women who do drink. Clarifying these relationships is essential for creating more effective intervention programs to eliminate/reduce tobacco and alcohol consumption and their harmful effects on health.

The objective of this article was to compare different cardiovascular training machines and their effects on the body, as well as to determine their suitability for people with low intensity or high intensity training needs. A total of 8 physically active and healthy male subjects (mean ± standard deviation; age: 28.45 ± 1.75 years; height: 1.84 ± 0.07 m; body weight 76.42 ± 8.62 kg; body mass index: 25.5 ± 2.6) were evaluated through of an incremental exercise test at different intensities on two different machines: Elliptical Domyos 680 (BED) and Deconstruct Elliptical 331-EF (DEC). To compare both machines against the two mentioned training needs, two different protocols were carried out: Low Intensity Protocol (LIP) and High Intensity Protocol (HIP). In addition, a thermographic analysis was carried out in order to determine the temperature differences reached in the musculature. No significant differences were found in HR and EE (p < .05) between the two machines. However, a greater and more progressive activation of the muscles of the upper extremities was observed in the DEC machine. In the HIP, HR and EE were measured, obtaining significant differences (p < .05) higher in the DEC machine. Therefore, in our comparison, the Deconstruct Elliptical machine produced more appropriate results for both low and high intensity training compared to the Elliptical machine. These results and the novel nature of the Deconstruct Elliptical raise the need for further studies to better understand this machine.

These results and the novel nature of the Deconstruct Elliptical raise the need for further studies to better understand this machine.","PeriodicalId":224249,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of Sport and Performance","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134272434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
