The structural complexity of the foot emerges from its varied and precise characteristics. This small structure can adapt to different situations, walking on uneven terrain such as mountainous areas or running on flat ground while keeping the body in balance on small surfaces. For humans, the foot is the basis of support and propulsion during walking and is also involved in providing the support and flexibility needed to achieve efficient weight transfer. Therefore, the correct distribution of loads and pressures on the surface of the foot is crucial to ensure lower limb function and proper gait and balance under static and dynamic conditions. A major limitation of studies investigating the relationship between foot posture and lower-limb muscle function is that there is currently no universally accepted method of classifying foot posture. There is a need for a dynamic way of classifying foot posture, which can be achieved by providing a reliable assessment process for foot posture changes. In clinical practice, the assessment of static foot posture is a common approach to classifying the type of foot to identify possible change-related aetiological factors and recommend therapeutic intervention. This approach involves examining the structural alignment or posture of the foot and the characteristics of its dynamic function to theoretically establish the mechanisms predisposing to pathological changes. In this context, this paper highlights the need for a reliable assessment of changes in foot posture, so our purpose is to present modern assessment and classification methods commonly used in clinical practice and research.

The game of football-tennis appeared in 1922 in the former Czechoslovakia, being called at that time football over the rope. The first official rules were written in 1940. Football-tennis is a relatively young sport that has grown in popularity since the 1980s. This sports game can be played individually or in teams and includes five events: simples, doubles and triples, plus mixed doubles and triples (men + women). In a football-tennis match, the technique of kicking the ball differs from the techniques used in football and tennis, which indicates that the name of this sport as well as its theoretical and practical foundations are independent of football and tennis. Although not widely promoted in the media, football tennis is nationally represented in Romania by the National Championship (for seniors - both men and women - and juniors) and the Romanian Cup, and at international level, by the World Championships, European Championships and tournaments organised by sponsors on different occasions. The occurrence of joint injuries in the life of a non-athlete is not a drama, but the same cannot be said about an elite athlete who is forced to interrupt their sports activity for a shorter or longer period, depending on the severity of trauma. That is why we must first know the causes in order to prevent injuries. This paper provides an overview of the correlation between the type of temperament, age, seniority in sport and injury severity.

Modern technologies increase the attractiveness of the physical education lesson. Different tools (for example, HOPSports and Brain Breaks systems) can also be used as means of recreation in the breaks between classes. The objectives of the research were to identify differences between teenagers in terms of selfperception and attitudes towards the new technologies applied during physical education (PE) classes and also to establish the relationship between self-perception and attitudes towards the new technologies applied during PE classes. The study was conducted on 69 children (preadolescents) and teenagers (adolescents) aged between 12 and 19 years, M = 16.36, SD = 1.96. Self-perception was measured with the Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents (SPPA) (Harter, 2012). The results indicate that boys do not have a significantly higher level of self-perception than girls and no significantly higher need for the modernisation of PE classes. After performing a multiple linear regression analysis, it has been highlighted that self-perception is a significant predictor of the need for modernised physical education and sport classes. Children and adolescents who think that they have an exemplary behavioural conduct, are competent in their work and have athletic competence will perceive more acutely the need for modernised PE classes. The implementation of HOPSports and Brain Breaks programs is being discussed, which could positively influence students’ motivation for physical education and sport classes.

One of the most common spinal deformities of the adolescent is idiopathic scoliosis. Even though the literature proposes a large number of nonsurgical treatments, existing studies for conservative treatment provide insufficient data to validate it. Physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises reflect the concept of conservative intervention recognised by the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) as effective in this medical condition. Among these exercises, the Schroth method suggests promising outcomes related to the effectiveness of stopping the disease progression and correcting the spinal deformity. An important criterion used is the active range of motion of the spine. Objective methods are required to assess this parameter, given that palpation and mobilisation are too subjective to produce accurate data or to be reproduced. Thus, many authors choose the fingertip-to-floor test to assess the active mobility of the spine. In the present paper, 15 case studies were monitored, and the conservative treatment programme consisted of individualised Schroth-based exercises for the specific functional diagnostic of this method. The programme was performed 3 times per week in the clinic and 3 times per week at the patient’s home. The assessment involved performing the fingertip-to-floor test in the sagittal and frontal planes at the beginning of the therapy and 6 months later. The research results show that Schroth therapy can improve the active range of motion of the spine.

The game of football is generally characterised by the joy of playing, creativity, spontaneity and consumption of physical and mental energy, involving the total commitment of athletes. The profile of the future footballer requires a high level of development of intellectual skills and mental qualities such as creativity, anticipation and concentration. We are witnessing impressive progress in technology, which can also be seen more and more in football, from performance measuring instruments to training devices that enhance the player’s skills. Thus, in the near future, due to the very fast flow of data, the difference will be largely made by the individual’s ability to focus attention and be creative. For this reason, the present study aims to identify the ability to focus attention in children aged 8-10 years, members of two football teams, by highlighting two indicators, namely their speed of information processing and the accuracy of their responses. To this end, we used the Piéron test, which measures the development level of focused attention. The investigated sample consists of 40 children playing football. The research took place in two private children’s football clubs in Romania. The training programme proposed by us for the development of on-field attention can be implemented in the training of athletes of different age groups.

Playing a sports game at a competitive level requires considerable physical effort that can only be sustained by excellent physical condition. The effort provided during both training and official competitions must be permanently in the attention of the specialised coach, who should be primarily concerned with preventing excessive fatigue in athletes. A clinical form of chronic pathological fatigue (an imbalance of the whole body, which strongly affects both the physical and mental spheres) is caused by overtraining. Modern means of tracking physical parameters in real time allow the coach to correctly dose exercise intensity as well as the frequency and length of the necessary breaks. The coach also has modern means of restoring the functional systems used during exercise, while being aware that these systems recover at different time intervals. The correct relationship between the recovery process and the recovery time of energy sources is essential in the effectiveness of the athlete’s body recovery technique. The proper load-recovery ratio is the key to the training process, and the decision on the recovery procedure will affect the physical condition of athletes. In the recovery process, specialists can use relaxation techniques, oxygenation, negative air ionisation, active or passive rest, medication, alkaline diet, massage, sauna, acupuncture, acupressure, thermotherapy, cold compression/therapy, vibration therapy, electrostimulation and lymphatic drainage.

Nutrition is an external factor that contributes a lot to maintaining a person’s health. Methodology: The study was conducted on a group of 114 students from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport (51 cases) and the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy (63 cases), both in Iași. Students were asked to complete a weekly food frequency questionnaire for the consumption of cheese, meat, cereal and potato derivatives. The questions focused on two directions represented by the presence of certain food groups in their menus and their preferences for certain snacks. The results were processed using Pearson’s Chi-Square test. Results: The dominant intake of cheese is 2-3 times a week (37.71%) as well as the consumption of chicken (47.36%). Pork is consumed less (once a week - 32.45%) than beef (zero - 54.38%). Cereal and potato derivatives are mostly present in menus 2-3 times a week (50.00% and 49.12%, respectively). The differences calculated per community are statistically insignificant, which draws attention to the existence of similar eating habits in the investigated students. Conclusion: The existence of similar eating habits is an aspect from which it is necessary to start when developing coherent nutritional education programmes.

Argentine tango is considered a social leisure dance, but its evolution over the past two decades has brought it to elite level due to shows on several stages as well as national and international dance competitions divided into several categories. The current research was performed on a group of experienced tango dancers aged up to 35 years. The aim of the paper was to improve and increase the level of performance, proposing a new training method. The new method involves introducing and using the turning board training device in classical training. Initially, the turning board was invented for and used by ballet dancers, ice-skaters and gymnasts, but it was adapted for the first time in this research for Argentine tango through specific individual and couple exercises with the main goal of improving balance and pivots during the execution of this fundamental dance element that is present in almost every circular movement and change of direction. The research methodology used the well-established Y-Balance Test and Flamingo Balance Test as well as an invented rotation test on the turning board. The results of this method demonstrated a significant increase in coordination, balance, posture, spatial orientation and all turning movements involving pivots on the metatarsals around the vertical axis of tango dancers, who have improved both their individual and couple techniques. Following the results achieved, this paper can be considered a pilot study for future scientific research on Argentine tango as an art and elite sport.

Abstract. Objective: In order to meet the requirements of large-scale testing in China, the TGMD-2 (Test of Gross Motor Development) was used to screen the simplifying indicators so as to test the gross motor development of preschoolers more accurately, conveniently and efficiently in the future. Methods: A total of 140 children aged 3-6 years (mean 4.8 ± 0.92 years old) from a Beijing kindergarten were selected as participants in the present research. TGMD-2 was used to test and score their gross motor development levels. Firstly, multivariate variance was used to analyse the effects of age and gender. Then, the Pearson coefficient, discrimination D and difficulty coefficient L were used for secondary screening. Finally, the stepwise regression was used to get the optimal equation, and then the reserved data (obtained from testing another 150 children) were substituted to predict the total score. The consistency test was conducted with the actual score to verify the effectiveness of the indicators. Results: Hop was selected as the primary motor indicator, and the equation to predict the total score of TGMD-2 was “TGMD-2 total score = 43.634 + 3.250* Hop score”. Conclusion: The simplifying indicator screened in this study is Hop, which has moderate difficulty and good differentiation, can better predict the total score and can be used for a wide range of tests in China.

Abstract. In sports traumatology, there is a high incidence of disorders at knee joint level, the most common of which are sprains. If the knee joint is impaired, the entire body is misbalanced. The purpose of the study was to decrease the pain, improves strength and mobility of knee joint. In addition, by introducing a therapeutical formula, we also aim to shorten the recovery period. The research subjects were 2 athletes practicing performance handball, with a diagnosis of grade 2 knee sprain (a diagnosis supported by X-rays and the MRI). The tests applied to the subjects were the joint and muscle assessments. The recovery program consisted in the use of kinesiotherapy means associated with Tecar therapy and laser. The patient C.M. recorded a value of 93° flexion - initially, while finally 127°, a value of 17° extension - initially, while in the end 0°. In what concerns muscle force, it increased from 1 initially to 5 in the end. The patient R.M. had a flexion degree of 84° initially and 120° finally, while in extension 15°- initially and 0° in the end. The muscle force increased from 2 - at the beginning to 5 - eventually. In conclusion, it may be stated that the therapeutical formula applied (kinesiotherapy + Tecar therapy + laser therapy) was effective and that it shortened the recovery period from 6 months to 3 month, the functions of the lower limb were recovered.
