Filter by:This randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of a 12-week plyometric training regimen on improving power, speed, and agility among boys aged 10 to 18 years who are actively engaged in sports and exhibit differing levels of biological maturity. The study seeks to determine how maturation affects the responsiveness to the training program, potentially influencing future sports training approaches for young athletes.
No study was found that investigated the effect of vibration therapy (VT) on recovery from exercise in WCB players. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the effects of wearable local vibration device on muscle soreness and athletic performance during recovery from exercise in the elbow area in WCB players.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of 3-week mid-season camp period loading on sports injury anxiety level and physical performances of professional male soccer players.
Blood Oxygen Level Test (BOLT) was never scientifically validated. Therefore, we investigated the association of BOLT scores with athletic performance in well-trained athletes. The study focuses on exercise tolerance in severe and extreme intensity domains, as they provoke significant homeostatic perturbations. We perform Wingate Anaerobic Test and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test, which are part of the regular National Team athletes screening in our lab, to see if the results may be assocciated with BOLT results. The performance tests are used by the Speedskating National Team multiple times per year as training monitoring and performance assessments of the athletes.
Running form and technique have a direct influence on a runner's economy, and therefore small changes in specific running mechanics could be useful to improving running performance. The thumb plays an important role in the functionality of the foot. During standing, the big toe is more loaded than the head of the five metatarsals and the heel. In this study, it will aimed to examine the relationship of big toe strength with parameters that affect anaerobic athletic performance in runners. In this study, it will aim to examine the relationship of big toe strength with parameters that affect anaerobic athletic performance in runners such as vertical jump, horizontally jumping, strength, agility and speed. The study design will be Randomized Controlled Trial. This study will be conducted in Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) Lahore. The study will be completed within the time duration of eight to ten months after the approval of synopsis. Sample size will be 30 subjects. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to recruit the individuals for the study and then randomization will be done by lottery method to divide the individuals into 2 treatment groups. The experimental group is given big toe strengthening program for 4 weeks along with running training on other hand control group will do only their running training and after that measures their pre post values on SPSS 25.
Endurance sport is often characterized by high training loads and significant metabolic demands, including depletion of endogenous fuel stores (e.g. liver and muscle glycogen) and damage to the skeletal muscle proteins. Nutritional interventions that enhance the restoration of endogenous fuel stores and improve muscle damage repair have received a lot of attention. The primary aim of this project is to clinically test the effect of alginate encapsulation technology on performance. Furthermore, we will investigate the substrate utilization profile during exercise and subsequent recovery. The encapsulation technology presents a nutrient delivery solution, which results in a sustained or slow-release of the nutrients encapsulated. Thus, potentially optimizing the digestion and absorption by promoting an easy ingestion of high concentrations of fx carbohydrates without negatively affecting the gastrointestinal comfort.
the study aims to assess the efficacy of two interventions, namely the muscle energy technique and the hamstring Nordic lower exercise, in addressing hamstring tightness among young athletes in Pakistan.
To investigate the outcomes of sports vision enhancement training on softball players, specifically the visual skills and visual function. This will help to develop and hone best practice methods for future research as well as training protocols for athletes.
The goal of this randomized crossover clinical trial is to determine if habitual sleeping habits can predict endurance performance following a night of partial sleep deprivation in healthy untrained, recreationally trained, and trained cyclists (18-50 years, ~50% females). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can habitual sleeping habits predict, or do different types of sleepers alter, performance outcomes following sleep deprivation? 2. Does sleep deprivation alter blood pressure, heart rate, or metabolic responses during a 20-minute time trial, and/or are these altered amongst different types of sleepers? 3. Can habitual sleeping habits predict, or do different types of sleepers alter, flow-mediated dilation following a night of normal sleep and/or sleep deprivation? - Participants will be asked to perform 4 performance tests (20-minute time trial), 2 for familiarization, and 2 testing visits (1 under normal sleep and 1 under partial sleep deprivation). - For 1 week prior to each testing visit, sleep will be tracked using an ActiGraph device. - During each testing visit, and prior to the performance test, the vascular function of the superficial femoral artery will be assessed using a flow-mediated dilation technique. The investigators hypothesize that habitual early sleepers, poor sleepers, those with greater variability in sleep duration, and females will show the greatest impairments in performance and flow-mediated dilation following partial sleep deprivation.
Two groups of healthy, highly trained triathletes trained respiratory muscles with one of the two methods: voluntary isocapnic hyperpnoea (VIH) or inspiratory pressure threshold loading (IPTL). The main purpose of this study was to accurately and thoroughly assess the potential extra load that RMT puts on athletes and determine if there are significant differences in RMT-induced load between the investigated training methods. Informed written consent was obtained from the all study participants. All procedures were carried out in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
