BACKGROUND: Analytics, to quantify baseball pitch metrics, take on many forms and are unlike earlier methods to assess performance. OBJECTIVE: Quantify associations of flight kinematic and anthropometric variables on pitch release speed. METHODS: Male college-age pitchers (n= 182) from 2021 Division I games provided data. A 3D radar system collected data. Fixed effects regression OLS models analyzed data for sliders, changeups, curveballs, and fastballs. RESULTS: Spin rate (r= 0.017–0.514, p< 0.05) and vertical break (r= 0.374–0.703, p< 0.05) were positively associated with pitch release speed per pitch type. Release height (r=-0.286–0.051, p<-0.05) and pitch extension (r=-0.176–0.43, p< 0.05) were negatively associated with pitch release speed per pitch type except sliders. Spin axis had a negative association with pitch release speed for fastballs (r=-0.235, p< 0.05) and sliders (r=-0.311, p< 0.05), and a positive association (r= 0.029, p< 0.05) with curveball pitch release speed. Weight only related to pitch release speed for fastballs (r=-0.315, p< 0.05). Height did not impact pitch release speed. CONCLUSIONS: Results refute long-held beliefs of anthropometry’s influence on performance and instead reveal flight kinematics’ impact on baseball pitch release speed.

BACKGROUND: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective exercise method that could lead to favorable changes in obese and diabetic subjects. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of HIIT on serum omentin-1 levels, lipid profile, and insulin resistance in diabetic obese men. METHODS: Fifty obese men suffering from T2DM with ages between 40 and 60 years were enrolled. Subjects were divided into two groups: the HIIT (n= 26) and control group (n= 24). The HIIT group subjects underwent 12 weeks (3 sessions per week) of HIIT program, while the control group subjects kept to their normal daily activities. Fasting blood glucose levels, serum omentin-1 levels, lipid profile, and insulin resistance were evaluated at baseline and after the experiment. RESULTS: HIIT resulted in significant improvements in the subjects’ body composition, serum omentin-1 levels, lipid profiles, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR (p< 0.05). Further, highly significant negative correlations were observed between serum omentin levels, on the one hand, and body mass index, body weight, and waist circumference, on the other. CONCLUSIONS: Twelve weeks of HIIT may be an effective training strategy to improve serum omentin-1 levels, body composition, lipid profile, and insulin sensitivity in diabetic obese men.

BACKGROUND: Limited data exist regarding segmental contributions of lower extremity muscles to the swim start performance during different start techniques in young swimmers. OBJECTIVE: To determine the differences in the kinematic parameters between the grab start (GS) and track start (TS) techniques and assess the interactions between the lower limb muscle strength and swim start performance. METHODS: A total of 40 swimmers, 20 girls (age: 13.70 ± 1.80 y, height: 161.65 ± 8.28 cm, body weight: 53.70 ± 8.65 kg) and 20 boys (age: 13.90 ± 1.45 y, height: 160.95 ± 12.70 cm, body weight: 52.95 ± 12.64 kg), 13–16 y of age, at the competitive level were recruited. Ankle, hip, and knee muscles were tested isokinetically at 60∘/s and the tests were spread over 24 h to avoid fatigue. Several elements relating to GS and TS were measured using a motion pick-up video camera. RESULTS: The angle of entry (EA) at water and knee joint angle (KA) were significantly greater during GS both for boys (EA: 44.18 ± 1.07∘ vs. 43.03 ± 1.28∘; KA: 112.10 ± 15.25∘ vs. 107.21 ± 21.13)∘ and girls (45.09 ± 1.28∘ vs. 43.36 ± 1.55∘; KA: 103.08 ± 11.21∘ vs. 97.45 ± 19.52∘, p< 0.05). Flight time (FT), flight distance (FD), KA, and flight velocity (FV) were significantly higher for boys both during GS and TS, whereas EA was significantly lower for boys during GS compared to girls (p< 0.05). Lower limb strength performance was positively significantly correlated with FT, FD, and FV both during GS and TS (p< 0.05). Hip muscle strength was inversely correlated with the EA both during GS and TS (p< 0.05). The combination of the knee, ankle, and hip extensor and flexor muscle strengths had a greater effect during GS (35% vs. 29%) in RT, (48% vs. 46%) in FT, (59% vs. 57%) in FD, and (63% vs. 57%) in FV compared to the TS. CONCLUSIONS: Incorporating lower body strength training into the swimming training schedule may improve swim start performance variables during grab start and track start techniques.

BACKGROUND: Although squat depth determines the weight that can be lifted while squatting, it is unclear whether the One-repetition maximum (1RM) at one squat depth can be used to estimate the 1RM at another squat depth. OBJECTIVE: To determine the correlations between 1RM weights at different back squat depths (BSQs) in frequently trained male collegiate athletes. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 26 male collegiate athletes. Body composition, lower extremity length, and 1RM of BSQ were measured. 1RM of BSQ was measured at three positions (quarter, half and parallel positions), defined as 45 degrees of knee flexion (quarter, Q-SQ), 90 degrees of knee flexion (half, H-SQ), and femur parallel to the ground (parallel, P-SQ), respectively. All testing was conducted by a certified strength and conditioning specialist. Pearson’s correlation analysis and Spearman’s rank correlation were used to examine the correlation between 1RM at each squat depth. RESULTS: There was a significant correlation between 1RM in the H-SQ and P-SQ positions (p< 0.001, r= 0.725, R2= 0.526, y= 1.0728x+ 24.641), but no significant correlation between 1RM of Q-SQ and P-SQ, and 1RM of Q-SQ and H-SQ. There were significant correlations between the 1RM of Q-SQ and height (p= 0.001, r= 0.594), and with the length of the lower extremities (p= 0.002, r= 0.586). CONCLUSIONS: Mutual estimation of the 1RM of H-SQ or P-SQ from the 1RM of the other squat position is possible. Estimation of the 1RM of Q-SQ from the 1RM of H-SQ or P-SQ is, however, difficult, and must be measured separately. Future studies should be conducted with larger sample sizes, in athletes of various sports, and in females.

BACKGROUND: Muscle strength in the upper and lower limbs is a major contributing factor to punch force and is one of the keys to success in boxing. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between knee and shoulder strength and punching force in boxers. METHODS: Twenty-one boxers completed knee flexion, knee extension, shoulder external rotation and internal rotation isokinetic concentric contractions at slow (60∘/s) and fast (180∘/s) angular velocities. Maximal punch force tests included lead and rear straight arm punching were assessed using a force platform. RESULTS: Pearson’s correlation coefficients revealed that knee extension (r= 0.646–0.848) and knee flexion (r= 0.470–0.646) peak torques were moderately to very strongly correlated with maximal punching force in lead and rear arms. The shoulder internal rotation (r= 0.492–0.634) and shoulder external rotation (r= 0.441–0.588) peak torques were moderate to strongly correlated with maximal punching force. Moreover, knee extension peak torques at 60∘/s had higher correlation with maximal punching force. In contrast, shoulder internal rotation peak torques at 180∘/s had a larger correlation with maximal punching force. CONCLUSIONS: The main findings indicated the importance of the capacity to generate maximum knee extension and rapid shoulder internal rotation strength, contributing to punch force production.

BACKGROUND: The quantitative recruitment of motor units depends on specific demands, including movement velocity. DNA microarrays differ according to sex, and these sex-related differences affect the fiber type composition. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to demonstrate inter-sex differences in the isokinetic parameters, isokinetic phases, and muscle activities and to investigate the correlation between muscle activity and isokinetic data. METHODS: A total of 41 healthy adults (20 male, 21 female) performed concentric knee extension at angular velocities of 60∘/s, 180∘/s, and 240∘/s. The outcome measures consisted of the isokinetic peak moment (PM), normalized PM (PM/BW), total work, and power, alongside the acceleration, iso-speed and deceleration, sub-phases. Muscle activity was recorded from the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis using surface EMG. RESULTS: There were significant two-factor main effect and interaction between sex and angular velocity on the power of knee extension and isokinetic phase (p< 0.05). As the velocity increased, the increase in power of males was greater than that of females. In contrast, with the increase in velocity, PM, PM/BW, and total work decreased, but no significant interaction was observed between velocity and sex. At high velocity, males showed higher acceleration ability than females. CONCLUSION: The sex-dependent responses to velocity were more affected by differences in total movement time than force production. Fast isokinetic exercise should consider the acceleration ability rather than the ability to produce force.

BACKGROUND: Mounting evidence has demonstrated functional and cognitive-related benefits after Instability Resistance Training (IRT) in individuals, healthy as wellas patients presenting with neurological disorders. However, whether IRT may play a significant role in the postural control of older adults has not been established. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of 12- weeks of IRT on static postural control of older adults with subjective cognitive impairment. METHODS: In this randomized controlled trial, a total of 67 participants (aged 65 years and older) were randomly assigned to either 12 weeks of IRT (n= 22), traditional resistance training (RT) (n= 23), or a health education control group (CON) (n= 22). Static postural control was assessed using a force platform that recorded the displacement amplitude of the center of pressure (CoP) in the anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) directions in bipedal support (30 seconds) with eyes open and closed. RESULTS: All groups increased AP displacement in the conditions of eyes open and closed. During the eyes-closed condition, only the IRT group increased the ML displacement. No between-group differences were detected in any postural control (p> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: 12 weeks of IRT does not improve the static postural control in older adults with cognitive impairment.

BACKGROUND: The knee is one of the most common injuries in sports. However, the incidence of knee injuries can be decreased by enhancing balance and neuromuscular control. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate how injury prevention programs (IPPs) that include balance training influence knee injury rates in athletes. METHODS: Data were obtained from different databases (1985–2021). Only randomised controlled trials that used IPPs that include balance training, were considered. Two investigators extracted data from the qualifying documents. The critical outcome data elements derived from the included studies were the number of ACL/knee injuries, ACL/knee injury rates, exposure hours, compliance rate, and follow-up duration. RESULTS: Compared to the control groups, those who participated in the IPP had a 54% lower risk of knee injuries per 1000 hours of exposure (IRR 0.457 (95% CI 0.346–0.603), P= 0.001) and a 60% lower risk of ACL injuries per 1000 hours of exposure (IRR 0.401 (95% CI 0.215–0.750), P= 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: IPPs that include balance training may reduce the risk of knee injuries.
背景:膝关节是运动中最常见的损伤之一。然而，膝关节损伤的发生率可以通过加强平衡和神经肌肉控制来降低。目的:本系统综述和荟萃分析的目的是调查包括平衡训练在内的损伤预防计划(ipp)如何影响运动员的膝关节损伤率。方法:数据来自不同的数据库(1985-2021)。我们只考虑了使用包含平衡训练的ipp的随机对照试验。两名调查人员从合格文件中提取了数据。从纳入的研究中得出的关键结局数据要素是ACL/膝关节损伤的数量、ACL/膝关节损伤率、暴露时间、依从率和随访时间。结果:与对照组相比，参加IPP的患者每1000小时暴露的膝关节损伤风险降低54% (IRR 0.457 (95% CI 0.346-0.603)， P= 0.001)，每1000小时暴露的ACL损伤风险降低60% (IRR 0.401 (95% CI 0.215-0.750)， P= 0.004)。结论:包括平衡训练的ipp可以降低膝关节损伤的风险。

METHODS: Data were obtained from different databases (1985–2021). Only randomised controlled trials that used IPPs that include balance training, were considered. Two investigators extracted data from the qualifying documents. The critical outcome data elements derived from the included studies were the number of ACL/knee injuries, ACL/knee injury rates, exposure hours, compliance rate, and follow-up duration.

BACKGROUND: Intrinsic foot muscle (IFM) dysfunction and poor foot arch are associated with various foot conditions. Toe flexor exercise (TFE) has been used to improve it; however, the immediate effects of TFE on each IFM and how it relates to changes in navicular bone height (NH) are unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate acute muscle swelling in the IFM after TFE and the association between changes in NH and IFM size. METHODS: Fourteen adults participated in this study. NH and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the IFM were acquired pre and post- TFE. The CSA of the IFM, including the abductor hallucis (AbH), flexor hallucis brevis, flexor digitorum brevis, and quadratus plantae, was acquired with ultrasonography. In the TFE, each participant completed five sets of eight repetitions with maximum strength. RESULTS: The NH and CSA of all IFM significantly increased significantly post-TFE (p< 0.01). Only the increase in AbH was moderately and positively correlated with the change in NH (r= 0.54, p< 0.01). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the acute swelling of AbH after TFE is associated with an immediate increase in NH, supporting the important role of AbH in the formation of foot arch.

BACKGROUND: Moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT) may be a viable exercise format for improving body composition, aerobic fitness, and health-related variables. OBJECTIVES: This randomized trial aimed to analyze the effect of MIIT or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on aerobic fitness, body composition variables, and resting metabolic rate (RMR) in women with overweight or obesity. METHODS: 31 sedentary adult women with overweight or obesity performed 7 weeks × 3 weekly sessions of either HIIT or MIIT. Physical and physiological tests were applied before and after training. RESULTS: In both analyses (intention-to-treat and by adherence to the training), aerobic fitness showed a time effect (p= 0.041 and p= 0.015), but without differences between groups (p> 0.05). No group (HIIT vs. MIIT), time (pre vs. post), or interaction effects (group vs. time) were found for RMR, body composition markers (fat mass, body fat percentage, lean mass), or body mass index – BMI (p> 0.05). In addition, MIIT induced a relatively high drop-out rate. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested that the short-term (7-weeks) interval exercise training was effective for increasing aerobic fitness, and moderate-intensity intervals were as effective as high-intensity intervals. However, neither training format was effective for changing RMR, body composition variables, or BMI of women with overweight or obesity. Clinical trial ID: RBR-9jd7b7.
