Locus of control, as measured by Levenson's scale, was assessed at preseason in 60 elite national‐level male and female basketball players. Information on frequency and severity of injuries was collected as the playing season progressed. When these data were treated by discriminant function analysis, it was found that neither gender nor any of the locus of control subscales (Internal, Powerful Others, Chance) could predict frequency or severity of injury. These findings, plus a critical analysis of other studies in this area, indicated that locus of control is not a valid predictor of sporting injuries.

Four environmental conditions contribute to climatic heat stress: ambient temperature, air humidity, air movement, and radiant heat from the sun and nearby warm surfaces. If sufficiently great, this climatic heat stress can adversely affect the performance of work or exercise. Particularly for endurance sport activities, such as marathon running, racewalking, and other sustained distance events, the ability to quantify the magnitude of heat stress is of value in helping both coach and athlete plan the safest competitive strategy. Quantification of climatic heat stress is possible through the use of three thermometers, which measure shade temperature (dry bulb temperature [DBT]), the effect of wind and humidity (wet bulb temperature [WBT]), and radiant energy (black globe temperature [BGT]). The three values are incorporated into a heat stress index (HSI), a temperature value comprised of 10% of DBT, 20% of BGT, and 70% of WBT. Extensive HSI monitoring was performed at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, on‐...

A nationwide sample of 162 Australian elite and nonelite competitive female gymnasts were administered a questionnaire to collect personal and training data as well as information about the number, location, and type of injuries sustained in the previous 12 months. The gymnasts reported 321 injuries, a rate of 1.98 per gymnast (2.36 for the elite and 1.83 for the nonelite subjects). Of the total sample 78.4% reported sustaining one or more injuries (89.4% of the elite gymnasts and 73.9% of the nonelite gymnasts). Injuries to the ankle and foot (31.7%) were the most prevalent, followed by injuries to the lower back (15.0%). Sprains (29.6%) were the most commonly reported type of injury, followed by strains (20.6%) and growth plate injuries (11.5%). In terms of the amount of time lost due to injury, the elite gymnasts spent 20.2% of the year's training time at less than full capacity, compared with 13.9% for the nonelite gymnasts. These findings have implications for performance potential and training methods.

The complex nature of positive and negative work often practiced in human activity is apparent in the current literature on the topic. Much theoretical effort has been expended on examination of the positive and negative work relationships during exercise, particularly as numerous differences between the effect of a concentric and eccentric muscular contraction exist. These differences range from the force able to be exerted and energy cost of the effort in each type of muscle action, physiological response to the difference in efficiency between the two types of work, the ratings of perceived exertion elicited, and the role of each type of contraction in the precipitation of a muscle injury and the relative contribution of each to a training effect. This review examines the complex nature of positive and negative work and our current understanding of these complex issues.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether aspirin or acetaminophen would significantly reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and blood levels of creatine kinase (CK), a marker of muscle tissue damage, after an unaccustomed bout of, eccentric exercise. Thirty‐six untrained men were randomly assigned to an aspirin (3.0 g/day), acetaminophen (3.0 g/day), or placebo group in a double‐blind fashion. Drug or placebo administration began 48 hours before exercise and continued to 72 hours after exercise. Each subject performed the eccentric phase of a supine bench press at a resistance equivalent to 120% of maximum concentric strength, 1 RM (4 sets, 12 repetitions/set). A subjective sensation score of DOMS (1 = normal, 10 = very sore) and serum CK activity were measured before and at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours after exercise, using a repeated measures ANOVA. No significant group differences (p > 0.05) were found in perception of soreness; a significant time effect was observed (p <, 0.05) with p...

To assess the frequency with which patients at an orthopedic physical therapy clinic specializing in sports medicine experience clinically meaningful psychological distress, 200 consecutive patients were administered a standardized measure of psychopathology. Patients varied in terms of diagnosis, stage of rehabilitation, and level of athletic involvement. The physical therapist and athletic trainer responsible for the rehabilitation of a patient rated a patient's behavior during rehabilitation sessions. Approximately 19% of patients reported a clinical level of psychological distress. Most patients demonstrated few overt signs of a maladaptive psychological response to injury. The physical therapist or athletic trainer rating was not significantly correlated with a patient's self‐reported psychological distress. It was concluded that psychological distress occurs infrequently among patients at a sports medicine clinic, but with sufficient regularity to warrant concern.

To compare individual peculiarities in hormone responses and glucose pattern during prolonged exercise, 34 untrained persons and 27 endurance athletes performed a 2‐hour exercise test on a bicycle with an ergometer at the level of 60% maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Serial blood samples were taken through a venous catheter before exercise, at 10, 26, 30, 60, and 120 minutes of exercise and 1,6, and 24 hours after the cessation of exercise. Serum glucose, corticotropin, cortisol, somatotropin, and insulin concentrations were determined. In 79% of cases a slight initial decrease of 0.7 ± 0.23 mM in untrained and of 0.6 ± 0.31 mM in trained subjects was observed in the blood glucose concentration. In half of these subjects an increase over the initial concentration followed after 30 to 60 minutes of exercise. Despite the stable euglycemic level of the mean concentration during the succeeding stages of exercise, individual analysis indicated the existence of five variant glucose patterns: (1) an initial decre...

Abdominal muscle strength and endurance are widely assessed by means of a timed 1‐minute full sit‐up test, despite the more accepted use of half sit‐ups as a muscular strength and endurance exercise. In the present study, the validity and reliability of a 1‐minute half sit‐up protocol was investigated. A total of 142 different subjects participated in one of four studies designed to assess test‐retest reliability, interapparatus reliability, intertester reliability, and validity. Findings included very high test‐retest reliability (r = 0.98), moderately high interapparatus reliability (r = 0.71), and high intertester reliability (r = 0.76). The correlation of the half sit‐up test with the full sit‐up test of the National YMCA was 0.67 and the correlation with isometric abdominal strength was 0.38. The proposed half sit‐up test was found to be reliable and is proposed as an alternative method of evaluating abdominal strength and endurance.

The carotenoid crocetin has been shown to relieve the hypoxic condition caused by many diseases. Since hypoxia is also a limiting factor in endurance performance, this study evaluated the effect of crocetin administration on exercise endurance. Eleven treadmill trained rats were randomly divided into an experimental or control group. Sixty minutes prior to exhaustive exercise, the exercise group received a 0.3 mL intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mg crocetin/kg body weight, and the control group received a placebo injection. The experimental group improved running time by 18± 3 minutes (t test, p ≤ 0.01) and showed a reduction in postexercise blood lactate concentration by 1.84 ± 0.52 mM (t test, p ≤0.01). The results demonstrate that crocetin increased exercise endurance and decreased blood lactate concentration in trained rats. The mechanism of action may be that, by increasing oxygen diffusion, crocetin enhanced aerobic production of adenosine triphosphate while reducing anaerobic adenosine triphosphate...
类胡萝卜素crocetin已被证明可以缓解由许多疾病引起的缺氧状况。由于缺氧也是耐力表现的限制因素，本研究评估了克罗辛给药对运动耐力的影响。11只经过跑步机训练的大鼠被随机分为实验组和对照组。运动组在剧烈运动前60分钟腹腔注射克罗辛素0.2 mg /kg体重0.3 mL，对照组注射安慰剂。实验组使运动时间缩短18±3 min (t检验，p≤0.01)，使运动后血乳酸浓度降低1.84±0.52 mM (t检验，p≤0.01)。结果表明，西红花甙增加了训练大鼠的运动耐力，降低了血乳酸浓度。其作用机制可能是通过增加氧的扩散，增强三磷酸腺苷的有氧生成，同时减少三磷酸腺苷的厌氧生成。

The development and current status of the Canadian Home Fitness Test and its analogues are briefly reviewed. Although originally designed to motivate subjects to greater physical activity, there have been persistent attempts to use the test for screening and exercise prescription. The prediction of maximal oxygen uptake obtained by the original test and its various modifications has much the same reliability and validity as other submaximal procedures for the estimation of peak aerobic power. Useful information can be derived regarding the fitness of large populations, but in the individual no more than a very crude categorization of fitness is possible.
