Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effects of detraining after previous resistance training (RT) performed with different exercise orders (EO) on muscular strength, flexibility and functional capacity in older women. Methods: Twenty-three older women (61.6 ± 6.7 years; 74.2 ± 12.6 kg; 156.2 ± 5.9 cm) were randomized to a group that performed the exercises from multi-to single-joint order (MJ-SJ, n = 10) or a group that performed the exercises from single-to multi-joint order (SJ-MJ, n = 13). Both performed the same RT program (7 exercises, 3 sets of 10-15 maximum repetitions, twice a week, 16 weeks). Following the RT program, participants detrained for 16 weeks. Muscular strength (handgrip strength test), flexibility (sit-and-reach test), and functional capacity assessments (30-s arm curl, 30-s stand chair, 10m walking, getting up and moving) were carried out pre-training, post-training and post-detraining. Results: Results indicated that the effects of detraining do not depend on the manipulation of EO. Maintenance of benefits obtained from the RT program was observed only for flexibility, where both groups had higher scores compared to pre-training (MJ-SJ = 11%; SJ-MJ = 24.4%). Conclusion: We conclude that detraining in older women can compromise previous gains made in muscular strength and functional capacity.
目的:本研究旨在分析以往阻力训练(RT)后不同运动顺序(EO)后去训练对老年女性肌肉力量、柔韧性和功能能力的影响。方法:老年妇女23例(61.6±6.7岁);74.2±12.6 kg;156.2±5.9 cm)，随机分为多关节至单关节顺序组(MJ-SJ, n = 10)和单关节至多关节顺序组(SJ-MJ, n = 13)。两人都进行了相同的RT计划(7次练习，3组10-15次最大重复，每周两次，16周)。在RT项目之后，参与者接受了16周的训练。肌肉力量(握力测试)、柔韧性(坐伸测试)、功能能力评估(30秒手臂弯曲、30秒站立椅、10米行走、起身和移动)进行训练前、训练后和训练后退训练。结果:结果表明，去训练的效果不依赖于对EO的操作。从RT计划中获得的益处只有在灵活性方面得到了维持，两组的得分都比训练前高(MJ-SJ = 11%;Sj-mj = 24.4%)。结论:我们得出结论，老年妇女的去训练可能会损害先前在肌肉力量和功能能力方面取得的进展。

In recent years, thinness has become a concern in athletes worldwide. The International Olympic Committee has proposed the concept of relative energy deficiency and sounded warnings about the importance of energy intake commensurate with energy expenditure due to exercise. However, it has been suggested that it is difficult to assess this energy intake and consumption in sports. Therefore, this study screened male volleyball players for relative energy deficiency, measured their energy expenditure using accelerometers, and examined the usefulness of accelerometers in sports settings. Methods: The subjects were 10 males who belonged to a working volleyball team. Their height, weight, body fat percentage, lean body mass, basal metabolic rate, hemoglobin concentration, and bone density were measured before early morning practice. To measure activity, players were asked to wear an activity meter during practice time. Result: Screening assessment standards have not been presented in Japan. Therefore, we used the value of adult BIM < 17.5 kg/m 2 used by the American College of Sports Medicine as the first stage of screening for available energy deficiency. No player had a BMI of < 17.5 kg/m 2 . In addition, no athlete had a hemoglobin concentration of < 13.0 g/dl. Discussion: All athletes measured in this study answered that they did not know their own daily energy consumption. Considering the paucity of data on male volleyball players and the concern about the lack of available energy, it is considered effective to prevent the lack of available energy by proactively measuring it if an activity meter is available for the sport.
近年来，瘦已经成为全世界运动员关注的问题。国际奥委会提出了“相对能量不足”的概念，并发出了与运动消耗能量相称的能量摄入重要性的警告。然而，有人认为很难评估运动中能量的摄入和消耗。因此，本研究筛选了男性排球运动员的相对能量缺乏，使用加速度计测量了他们的能量消耗，并检验了加速度计在运动环境中的有用性。方法:以某职业排球队10名男性为研究对象。他们的身高、体重、体脂率、瘦体质量、基础代谢率、血红蛋白浓度和骨密度在清晨练习前被测量。为了测量活动，球员们被要求在训练期间佩戴活动计。结果:日本尚未提出筛选评价标准。因此，我们采用美国运动医学学院(American College of Sports Medicine)使用的成人BIM < 17.5 kg/ m2的数值作为有效能量不足筛查的第一阶段。没有球员的BMI低于17.5 kg/ m2。此外，没有运动员的血红蛋白浓度< 13.0 g/dl。讨论:本研究测量的所有运动员都回答不知道自己的每日能量消耗。考虑到男排运动员数据的缺乏和对可用能量不足的担忧，如果运动中有活动计，可以主动测量可用能量，从而有效地预防可用能量不足。

Previous studies have shown that High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is effective in improving maximal oxygen uptake, blood pressure, and physical health-related indicators in older adults. However, whether HIIT is more effective in improving cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise capacity in older adults compared with Moderate-Intensity Continuous Exercise (MICT) remains controversial. This review and META analysis assessed the outcomes associated with HIIT on cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise capacity in older adults by searching five electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) (built to July 2022). Relevant studies were included using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool; statistical analyses were performed using REVMAN software. HIIT significantly improved VO 2max (HIIT vs. MICT) (weighted mean difference = 1.80, 95% confidence interval: 1.25-2.35, p < 0.001) and maximal heart rate, ventilation maximal power output compared to the MICT protocol. Subgroup analysis determined that training period < 12 weeks, training frequency three times/week, 20 min per intervention, < 80% intensity VO 2 peak, 3 repetitions, < 60s per training session, and ≤ 90s rest time had the greatest effect on VO 2 max. Compared with MICT, HIIT was more effective in improving cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise capacity in older adults.

Background: The benefits of regular exercise are overwhelming, be it in children, teens or adult. The phrase “exercise is medicine” has continously been used to emphasize the physiological, pshychological and social benefits of exercise. This research aims at comparing the effect of blood genotype and exercise on some physiological parameters in fit and willing undergraduate students. Methods: 75 undergraduate students in the faculty of Basic Medical Science volunteered to participate in the study. A predesigned, pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire was filled by the students. Physiological variables such as heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory variables was then measured before exercise and at time intervals after the exercise testing on a calibrated motorist treadmill. Results: Blood genotype SS had the highest systolic blood pressure immediately after exercise (155.50 ± 6.91 mmHg) compared to blood genotype AS (155.40 ± 7.00 mmHg) and blood genotype AA (154.88 ± 8.70 mmHg) with significant difference (P < 0.05). Blood genotype AS had the highest systolic blood pressure 15 minutes after exercise (129.63 ± 9.79 mmHg) compared to blood genotype AA (129.13 ± 9.35 mmHg) and SS (122.13 ± 18.50 mmHg) with significant difference (P < 0.05). Blood genotype AS had the highest diastolic blood pressure immediately after exercise (95.29 ± 8.16 mmHg) compared to blood genotype AA (80.34 ± 11.46 mmHg) and SS (94.91 ± 11.81 mmHg) with significant difference (P < 0.05). Blood genotype AS had the highest diastolic blood pressure 15 minutes after exercise (85.60 ± 7.50 mmHg) compared to blood genotype AA (83.63 ± 9.18 mmHg) blood genotype SS (83.63 ± 9.18 mmHg) with significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Given the benefits of exercise, students should be encouraged to engage in light and moderate exercise irrespective of their blood genotype.

The epidemiology of injuries in youth soccer is ambiguous. Most studies are based on the consensus statement of Fuller, et al. where pediatric-specific injuries are not included. As a result, this type of injury is often neglected or categorized inconsistently. A consequence may be adhering an incorrect focus in injury prevention.

Spina bifida occulta represents a limited form of spina bifida. In this condition, the vertebral laminae fail to fuse. Spina bifida occulta can be diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound or after birth on routine x-ray. In most cases, SBO is asymptomatic. Here, we present the unique case of a 30-year-old male who presented with bilateral hamstring tightness of lifelong duration, with low back pain of one year duration. Physical exam was notable for bilateral knee flexion contractures of 20 degrees, reduced lumbar flexion by 20 degrees, hypertonicity of bilateral hamstring muscle bellies, with significant tenderness on palpation of ischial tuberosities. Additionally, three long, dark hairs were present at the level of the L5 spinous process, with asymmetrical gluteal cleft and a port wine stain on the right buttock. XR and MRI confirmed the diagnosis of L5 spina bifida occulta. The patient was referred to spina bifida clinic. Physical therapy including core strengthening and aggressive hamstring stretching significantly improved the patient’s symptoms and functional mobility.
