The main purpose of the present study is to evaluate the physical characteristics and field test performances of wheelchair basketball (WB) players according to the competitive level (CL). The second goal was to compare the results of physical characteristics and field test performances of WB athletes with different functional classification (FC) scores. Seventy-five (70 males- 5 females) proffesional WB athletes took part in this study. The athletes were divided into two CL: Elite (Super and First League)- Sub-elite (Second and Third League) categories. Players are also grouped into two FC categories: Category A (classes from 1.0 to 2.5)- Category B (classes from 3.0 to 4.5). Players underwent anthropometric measurements, bilateral grip strenght and took field tests in separated sessions. Field tests were evaluated with 20-meter sprint, slalom without the ball, slalom with the ball, zone shot, lay up, passing accuracy, and shuttle run test. Between group differences and correlations were computed to assess the study hypotheses. Statistical differences were observed when the bilateral grip strength and field test performances of WB athletes were examined according to the CL and FC categories. The sitting height and FC score were found to be the indicators that best expressed the field test performances. It has been determined that the field performance in WB differs according to the CL. Besides; since the hand wrist area is intensively used in many movements in WB, a common measurement such as grip strength should be evaluated as a performance criterion in WB athletes.

This study investigated if the dribbling performance in sports of futsal and football depends on the defender’s reaction time (RT) or anticipation. Participants were futsal (n = 59) and football (n = 45) male players competing in Brazilian National and State amateur championships in 2020. One hundred and thirty dribbles (futsal, n = 77; football, n = 53) registered during official matches were selected for analysis. The beginning times of the defender's response above and below 200ms from the attacker's dribbling stimulus were used to define reaction time and anticipation, respectively. Successful dribbles are those in which the defender is not able to prevent the attacker in possession of the ball overtake him/her. On the other hand, unsuccessful dribbles are those in which the defensive player manages to prevent the attacker from overtaking him/her with possession of the ball. Results showed that reaction time and anticipation were not determining factors for successful and unsuccessful dribbling in the sport of futsal, respectively. However, reaction time results provided supporting evidence for explaining the successful dribbling in the sport of football. This finding suggests that to succeed in dribbling the attacker should try to delay the start of the defender's response.

Hip abductor (ABD) and adductor (ADD) muscle imbalances lead to injuries in lumbo-pelvic hip complex, and these imbalances and other factors such as foot posture might affect dynamic balance. The present study aims to examine body mass index (BMI), dynamic balance and hip muscle strength values of adolescents with different foot posture alteration. Fifty-nine healthy adolescents (mean age 12±3 years, height 156±11.46 cm, weight 50.57±11.60 kg) voluntarily participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups according to Foot Posture Index (FPI): (Neutral Foot Group (NFG), n=48 / Prone Foot Group (PFG), n=11). The participants’ single leg – both legs dynamic balance values were measured by using balance measurement device (TOGUtm), and their hip ABD and ADD isometric muscle strengths were measured through the load cell. The dynamic balance, BMI and muscle strength values of the groups were compared by using Independent Sample t-Test. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups according to right and left single leg dynamic balance values (p<0.05). The study revealed that one of the most significant factors affecting dynamic balance in adolescents is foot posture. It is believed that using insoles suitable for the foot posture might be helpful in increasing the efficiency of dynamic movements carried out on a single leg and it is essential to suggest some exercises to correct foot postures when necessary.

Certain morphological characteristics and motor abilities are systematically monitored in Slovenian volleyball teams of different age categories. The study aimed to determine selected anthropometric dimensions and the body composition of 46 members of the cadet, junior and senior women’s volleyball national teams. Anthropometric characteristics were measured using the NX-16 [TC]2 3D-technology for body scanning. Body height was measured using an anthropometer, body mass was weighed using scales, and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. By using an electrical bioimpedance (EBI) Inbody 720 tetrapolar, 8-point electrode system (Biospace Co., Ltd.), we established percentages of skeletal muscle mass and fat mass as well as body water percentage. The differences among the results for female volleyball players of various categories in terms of body height and body mass are small. Likewise, the body composition results are similar in all three age categories. We also investigated whether the results of anthropometric variables of the upper body differ statistically significantly among individual categories. We identified statistically significant differences between cadet women and senior women in terms of right forearm circumference (p = 0.04). Cadet women (24,62 cm) have a smaller forearm circumference than senior women (25,08 cm). Statistically significant differences were also established between cadet women and junior women in terms of right upper arm circumference (p = 0.03). Junior women have a statistically significantly larger left upper arm circumference. No statistical significance was recorded with respect to other variables. The results obtained are generally similar to those from studies by other authors.

This study examined the effects of using digital placebo video games in the gym while teaching gymnastics elements on the amount and level of activity intensity of elementary school students. One hundred thirty-two first triade students (70 girls) were included in the study, of whom 72 (age = 7.6 ± 0.96) participated in an experimental teaching program (EXP) using digital placebo games and 60 (age = 7.5 ± 0.91) participated in the control group (CON) in which traditional physical education continued to be taught. Three artistic gymnastic elements were taught: Forward roll, backward roll, and cartwheel. The results of the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test showed statistically significant differences between the groups (EXP vs. CON) in light physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) for all three gymnastic elements (forward roll: LPA: p < 0.001, MVPA: p < 0.001; backward roll: LPA: p < 0.001, MVPA: p < 0.001; cartwheel: LPA: p < 0.001; MVPA: p < 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between groups in any gymnastics elements in vigorous physical activity (VPA); forward roll: p = 0.354; backward roll: p = 0.251; cartwheel: p = 0.427. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating digital placebo games into physical education classes to improve the amount of LPA and MVPA when teaching gymnastics elements in the first triad.

Despite the positive effects of exercise during pregnancy, only a small percentage of pregnant women choose to exercise because of concerns about fetal safety. The purpose of this study was to determine if the selected physiological functions of pregnant women increase or decrease to a limit that is still safe, and what effect this has on fetal heart rate and movement, depending on the type of exercise and physical activity of the pregnant women prior to pregnancy. An experimental study was conducted. Measurements of the pregnant women's heart rate, saturation, blood pressure, and body temperature, fetal heart rate, and fetal movements before and after exercise were collected. Exercises with two different levels of intensities (yoga-low and pilates-moderate) were compared. Thirty-one pregnant Slovenian women with gestational age between 20 and 37 weeks were included in the sample. When comparing pre and post exercise measurements, statistically significant differences were found in post exercise body temperature (p = 0.005) and systolic blood pressure (p = 0.007) compared with pre-exercise measurements. When comparing the results between yoga and Pilates exercise sessions, no statistically significant differences were found. When comparing results related to pre-pregnancy physical activity, significant differences in pre-exercise saturation were found (p = 0.041). Despite small sample size, results indicate that moderate physical activity in pregnancy has no significant effect on the vital functions of the pregnant woman that could indirectly endanger foetus. Larger study should be performed, to confirm these preliminary results.

This research aims to analyze the relationship between sports age and psychological resilience level in gender, biological age, sports age, branch, and gender of student-athletes and competitive university students. "Personal Information Form" was used to determine the various demographic characteristics of the participants, and the "Short Resilience Scale" was used to determine the levels of resilience. According to the study's findings, there is a significant difference between psychological resilience and the sports age of male athletes in terms of sports age and gender. There is no significant difference between psychological resilience and sports age of female athletes in terms of biological age, branch, and gender. According to the research results, sports age is more effective than biological age on psychological resilience. As the duration of doing sports increases in males, psychological resilience develops, but the same is not valid for females. In addition, male students are more psychologically resilient than female students, and those who do individual sports are psychologically more resilient than those who do team sports. According to the results of the research, it can be concluded that psychological endurance level may differ depending on various circumstances.

Low medial longitudinal arch (MLA), which is accepted as one of the predisposing factors leading to overuse injuries, changes the plantar pressure distribution by disrupting the load distribution. While there are studies investigating the effects of Kinesio® and rigid taping methods on plantar pressure distribution in the literature, there are no studies found investigating the effect of Dynamic® taping (DT) on foot load distribution. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of arch-supportive DT on plantar pressure distribution in adolescent volleyball players with low MLA. Twenty-five female volleyball players with a navicular drop of 8 mm and above and a mean age of 15.44 ± 1.68 years participated in this study. The distance of navicular drop was evaluated by navicular drop test, and the plantar pressure distribution was evaluated by the pedobarographic analysis method. After the first measurements were taken, Dynamic® tape was applied. The athletes were then reassessed using the same procedure. After taping, the navicular drop was significantly reduced for both feet (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the peak pressure values before and after taping (p>0.05). Total forefoot and hindfoot surface contact areas decreased significantly (p <0.05). Our study results showed that DT did not affect the peak plantar pressure, but could be effective in decreasing the surface contact area and increasing the MLA height. Dynamic® tape can be used as a practical, easy-to-apply treatment agent that supports the arch in asymptomatic athletes.

The aim of this study was to examine the development of anaerobic (maximum strength), aerobic (endurance), and heart rate numbers with the six-week Tabata Training Model applied to mountain biking athletes between the ages 14-18. A total 20 mountain bike athletes with a mean age of 15.45 ± 1.15 years participated in the study. The participants were randomly divided into two groups. The Traditional Training Group (CG) consisted of nine people and they applied the traditional training program for six weeks. The Tabata Training Group (TTG) consisted of 10 participants, and they, unlike CG, performed Tabata Interval Training on three days of the Traditional Training Program. CG did interval, rest, tempo, and endurance training for six weeks. The pre-test and post-test results showed that, aerobic power values increased by 10,7% in TTG; and 5,6% in CG, and mean power values increased by 8,6% in TTG; and 5,5% in CG. VO2max values while increased by 5,3% in TTG, it increased by 3,9% in CG, mean pulse values decreased by 0,7% in TTG and 2,8% in CG. As a result, it was seen that the Tabata Interval Model, which includes Tabata Interval Trainings applied for six weeks to high trained mountain bikers, increased the performance. In light of these results, it can be said that the Tabata Training Model is an effective training model that can be used to improve performance in high-level mountain bikers.

Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) have significant disability and functional limitations of walking. They commonly report problems with balance, sensory loss, and weakness of the muscles of the lower extremities. The prevalence and economic burden associated with LSS are expected to increase dramatically because of the aging population. Recently, physical exercise and walking programs have been presented as possible interventions to improve daily life in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). To date, there is a lack of clear descriptions of non-surgical treatment protocols and how combinig these interventions affect daily life of the patients and help to prolong the time to surgery. The aim of this systematic review is to provide a comprehensive and updated summary to the reader addresing exercise programs which can help reduce symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis. Two electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled studies of physical exercise or walking programs and other non-surgical treatment that examined effects on physical abilities/performance in daily life. Four articles were included. All included studies used physical exercise as an intervention, with one study also including medical care (tablet-based with the option of epidural steroid injections). Two studies included manual therapy and two studies offered individually supervised exercise sessions. As a control group, two included a home-based intervention and one was comparing three different conservative treatments included manual therapy/individualized exercise. A significant intervention effect was observed in all studies compared with the control groups, except in study, where the primary outcomes were between-group differences. The present systematic review on non-operative treatment included patients diagnosed for lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication concluded that there is moderate-quality evidence and limiting the ability to make conclusions about their effectiveness. Further trials are needed.
