Purpose. The aim of our study was to analyse the effect of a single-cycle ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) protocol on performance in the 100-m front crawl swimming modality. Methods. Overall, 16 swimmers were recruited: 8 female athletes (12.9 ± 0.88 years) and 8 male athletes (13.1 ± 0.88 years). In a randomized crossover design, all participants performed a 100-m front crawl sprint preceded by an IPC or placebo cycle. In the IPC trial, a pneumatic cuff was attached to the proximal thigh and was inflated at a pressure equivalent to 80% of arterial occlusion and remained inflated for 5 min (ischaemia); in the placebo trial, the cuff remained inflated for the same amount of time, but at low external pressure levels (20 mm Hg). The volunteers started the test 5 min after cuff pressure release (reperfusion). Results. It was not possible to verify significant differences within the time (seconds) required to complete the test between the IPC and placebo interventions (75.68 ± 7.2 and 75.75 ± 8.1 s, respectively; p = 0.916). Conclusions. Therefore, we can conclude that the tested IPC protocol does not seem to be sufficient to provide performance improvement in 100-m front crawl in young athletes.

Purpose. On the basis of the assumptions that motor learning involves a process in which the learner gains competence on a task, and perceived competence is closely related to the achievement of a goal and the perception of control, this study investigated the effects of perceived competence and self-controlled goal setting on motor learning. Methods. Sixty right-handed volunteers, both male (n = 28) and female (n = 32), with an average age of 26.35 years (± 6.29) took part in this experiment. the motor learning task was the field tennis forehand stroke. the experiment involved 2 phases: acquisition and transfer. the acquisition phase consisted of 180 trials performed across 3 days. the transfer test comprised 10 trials under a modified ball flight velocity condition. the participants were divided into 3 groups depending on the level of perceived competence (high, moderate, and low). Furthermore, each group was subdivided into choice (self-controlled goal setting) and yoked groups. Results. Performance of the high perceived competence group was superior to that in the low perceived competence group; there was no significant increase in the perception of competence in both groups. Learning was similar for self-controlled and yoked groups. Conclusions. the findings allow us to conclude that the higher the perceived competence, the better the performance in the acquisition and transfer. Moreover, the control on goal setting did not provide an additional positive effect on motor skill learning in individuals of different levels of perceived competence.

Purpose. The purpose was to investigate an adapted pre-exercise screening tool to evaluate musculoskeletal injury in elderly women before starting a resistance training (rT) program, and to verify whether the tool could detect subjects not eligible for rT research on the basis of the rT program injury rate. Methods. Overall, 74 subjects participated in an orthopaedic evaluation by a certified physical therapist. History was taken of injury, dysfunction and related musculoskeletal diseases, surgeries, fractures, and falls. A series of tests was applied to identify potential risks and injuries. Results. Owing to history of falls and fractures and poor mobility and performance in physical function tests, 14 patients were excluded. The most common deficits were: rotator cuff tendinopathy (n = 2), knee osteoarthritis (n = 3), both rotator cuff tendinopathy and knee osteoarthritis (n = 3), lumbar discopathy (n = 2), cervicalgia (n = 1), back pain sciatica (n = 1), rotator cuff injury (n = 1), wrist and knee pain (n = 1). The main joints affected were: knees (n = 7), shoulders (n = 6), lumbar spine (n = 5), thoracic spine (n = 1), and cervical spine (n = 2). Overall, 60 elderly women started the rT program, while 39 had an adherence of > 90%. Conclusions. The adapted tool was effective in recruiting subjects, who had a lower injury rate during rT. It helped to identify musculoskeletal dysfunction and improved safety and adherence outcomes in elderly women.

Unlike in the previous decades, strength training is gaining more scientific attention owing to its numerous benefits on human health. It has major benefits on metabolic processes, cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, age-related processes, and mental health. In comparison with aerobic low-intensity exercises, chest press-based strength training cardiovascular adaptations have been ignored for many years. Yet, if properly prescribed and conducted, strength training has shown to be safe and effective in people with cardiovascular disease. This narrative review aims at summarizing the available evidence about the role of chest press-based strength training on the cardiovascular system

Purpose. Prior research has shown that running squats on unstable surfaces may be useful in increasing antagonist muscle and body centre activity; nonetheless, the evidence for improved muscle strength-power is contradictory. In parallel, low-intensity strength training with partial blood flow restriction is effective in developing strength, hypertrophy, and muscular endurance. Combining both modalities could complement the benefits of exercising on unstable surface. Our objective was to compare the acute effects of 4 exercise types with or without partial blood flow restriction under stable and unstable conditions. Methods. Seven volunteers performed 4 protocols: exercises with high-intensity overload and stable conditions, low-intensity overload with blood flow restriction and stable conditions, unstable conditions without blood flow restriction, and unstable conditions with blood flow restriction. At the beginning, end, and recovery of each protocol, physiological variables were measured: heart rate, subjective perception of effort, blood lactate, and posturographic variables (total distance with eyes open and closed). Results. Exercises with stable surfaces generated greater physiological stress than both exercises on unstable surfaces. Furthermore, incorporating blood flow restriction into unstable exercise allowed an increase in the physiological demand without altering postural balance. There were only significant changes in postural balance in the high-intensity protocol with stable conditions. Conclusions. Exercises combining partial blood flow restriction on stable and unstable surfaces increase the physiological demands without altering postural balance compared with high-intensity exercise on a stable surface.

Purpose. resistance exercise (rE) with variable resistance (Vr) may be an interesting strategy to increase strength and power in several sports activities. the present study aimed to compare the effect of rE vs. Vr exercise in the back squat on subsequent jump performance at different time points. Methods. Nine male elite handball athletes (age: 21.4 ± 2.1 years; body fat percentage: 10.5 ± 4.2%) undergoing in-season training participated in the study. they randomly completed 3 sets of 5 back squat repetitions at 85% of predicted one-repetition maximum (1rM) with 3-minute rests between sets. they performed rE back squat alone or Vr back squat by combining 55% of 1rM using standard weight plates and 29.7 ± 2.0% of the athlete’s 1rM in fully erect position (starting position) with elastic band resistance. Countermovement jump (CMJ) test was applied at baseline, immediately after the conditioning activity (within 15 seconds), and every 2 minutes after the protocols (2, 4, 6, and 8 minutes). Results. there was a very large (5.8%, p = 0.02, ES = 1.53) increase in CMJ performance 2 minutes after Vr back squat, while no significant changes were observed after the completion of rE back squat. Moreover, there was a large ( p = 0.04, ES = 1.27) increase in peak power after Vr exercise. Conclusions. CMJ performance and peak power output can be potentiated after 2 minutes of recovery following the completion of back squat exercise combining rE plus elastic bands, reinforcing the practical applicability of Vr exercise.
目的。在一些体育运动中,可变阻力运动(Vr)可能是一种有趣的增加力量和力量的策略。本研究旨在比较在不同时间点后深蹲中进行rE和Vr训练对随后的起跳表现的影响。方法。男手球优秀运动员9名(年龄:21.4±2.1岁;体脂率:10.5±4.2%)接受季内训练参加研究。他们随机完成3组,每组5次,每组重复1次最多(1rM)的85%,每组之间休息3分钟。他们单独进行rE后蹲或Vr后蹲,其中55%的1rM使用标准重量板,29.7±2.0%的运动员1rM在完全直立位置(起始位置)与弹力带阻力相结合。在基线、条件反射活动后立即(15秒内)和方案后(2、4、6和8分钟)每2分钟进行一次反向运动跳跃(CMJ)测试。结果。Vr后深蹲后2分钟CMJ表现有非常大的提高(5.8%,p = 0.02, ES = 1.53),而完成rE后深蹲后无显著变化。此外,Vr运动后的峰值功率有较大的增加(p = 0.04, ES = 1.27)。结论。rE +弹力带完成后深蹲运动后,恢复2分钟后可增强CMJ性能和峰值功率输出,增强Vr运动的实用性。

Purpose. to verify the impact of Pilates training on blood glucose, urinary problems, sexual symptoms, pain and anxiety in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods. Overall, 25 pregnant women with GDM were randomly divided into an experimental and a control group. the participants allocated into the experimental group were submitted to 12 weeks of conventional treatment for GDM associated with supervised Pilates exercises. the control group were submitted to 12 weeks of conventional treatment, without the Pilates intervention. Fasting blood glucose was measured with a glucose monitor. Urinary symptoms were assessed by using the Short-Form International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire. For sexual function, the authors applied the Female Sexual Function Index. Maternal weight gain was obtained from the patients’ medical records. Pain was assessed by visual analogue scale and localized by nordic questionnaire. Owing to a non-para metric pattern of the data, values were expressed as median and interquartile range. Inferential analysis was performed with the Mann-Whitney U test (to assess between-group comparisons) and Wilcoxon test (to assess pre- and post-intervention comparisons). Results. Considering the baseline similarity of the groups regarding anthropometric and clinical variables, Pilates training improved fasting glucose, maternal weight gain, and urinary incontinence score as compared with the group submitted exclusively to conventional therapy ( p < 0.05). Conclusions. the results reinforce the beneficial effects of supervised Pilates training on reducing blood glucose, maternal weight gain, and urinary incontinence in pregnant women with GDM.

Purpose. Previous studies have compared neuromuscular patterns between healthy populations and populations with neuromuscular disorders where the functionality of the muscles might be affected. However, more research needs to be con-ducted to understand neuromuscular patterns within young healthy adults during various balance tasks. This study explores whether challenging the sensory systems in young adults during single and dual-cognitive balance tasks alters neuromuscular patterns at the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior. Methods. Our study involved 44 healthy young adults (10 males and 34 females) with an average age of 24.9 ± 3.03 years. Electromyography electrodes were utilized to obtain electromyographic data regarding times during onset of muscle contraction, peak muscle activation, decay of muscle contraction, and duration of muscle contraction during distinct balance tests. The different balance tests involved altering sensory inputs during 4 single tasks and 4 dual-cognitive tasks. Results. Principally, no significant changes in electromyographic activity were demonstrated during the single or dual-cognitive tests, especially for neuromuscular recruitment patterns for the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius ( p > 0.05). Conclusions. The comparable neuromuscular activity of the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius during various balance tasks in our study extrapolates that young healthy adults have functional sensory and motor systems. Further studies need to investigate electromyographic patterns during dual-motor tasks, the involvement of other synergistic muscles for postural control, and brain activity during complex postural tasks.

Previous studies have compared neuromuscular patterns between healthy populations and populations with neuromuscular disorders where the functionality of the muscles might be affected. However, more research needs to be con-ducted to understand neuromuscular patterns within young healthy adults during various balance tasks. This study explores whether challenging the sensory systems in young adults during single and dual-cognitive balance tasks alters neuromuscular patterns at the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior. Methods. Our study involved 44 healthy young adults (10 males and 34 females) with an average age of 24.9 ± 3.03 years. Electromyography electrodes were utilized to obtain electromyographic data regarding times during onset of muscle contraction, peak muscle activation, decay of muscle contraction, and duration of muscle contraction during distinct balance tests. The different balance tests involved altering sensory inputs during 4 single tasks and 4 dual-cognitive tasks. Results. Principally, no significant changes in electromyographic activity were demonstrated during the single or dual-cognitive tests, especially for neuromuscular recruitment patterns for the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius ( p > 0.05). Conclusions. The comparable neuromuscular activity of the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius during various balance tasks in our study extrapolates that young healthy adults have functional sensory and motor systems. Further studies need to investigate electromyographic patterns during dual-motor tasks, the involvement of other synergistic muscles for postural control, and brain activity during complex postural tasks.","PeriodicalId":35354,"journal":{"name":"Human Movement","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71099172","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}
