Filter by: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. The study design will be a 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 the synopsis. The sample size will be 30 subjects. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to recruit the individuals for the study. 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 3 weeks along with running training on the other hand control group will do only their running training and after that measure their pre-post values on spss. In this study, it will be aimed 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.
In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between body composition, aerobic capacity, trunk muscle endurance and muscle strength in young male basketball players. The study will take place at a local basketball academy. Young male athletes between the ages of 10-24 and enrolled in a basketball academy will be included in the study. Participants who have been involved in basketball for less than a year, and those who have injuries that prevent participation in the study will be excluded.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of aerobic capacity with agility, core muscle endurance and peripheral muscle strength in adolescent basketball players.
The goal of the clinical trial study is to test the effect of the individual complex physiotherapy intervention program in the children actively playing soccer with flatfoot or valgus foot. The aims are: 1. see if the medial longitudinal arch will by actively more higher after the intervention 2. see if the type of the foot will change toward more neutral type after the intervention 3. see if the transfer of the centre of body mass through the foot during the gait will directed in more neutral line after the intervention The participants will undergo clinical assessment of short kinesiology assessment visually in underwear and barefoot. Then Participant will be tested for balance test in narrow stance with open and closed eyes, and single.leg stance with open eyes on the pressure mat. Finally, participant will walking in self-selected normal speed through the gait pressure mat. Eaxh procedure will be measured twice, before the program start and after the 4 weeks when the program finish. Researchers will compare these two measurement for the changes.
Physical therapies based on electrical or electromagnetic stimulation have been used in rehabilitation, in some cases combining electrical therapy with radiofrequency. Specifically, resistive capacitive electrical transfer therapy (CRet) has been used in physical rehabilitation and sports medicine to treat muscle, bone, ligament and tendon injuries. CRet is a non-invasive electrothermal therapy classified as deep thermotherapy, which is based on the application of electrical currents within the radiofrequency range of 300 kHz - 1.2 MHz. While the heat conducted by surface thermotherapy cannot reach the muscle due to the electrical resistance of the tissues, the capacitive-resistive electrical currents in CRet therapy can generate heating of deep muscle tissues, which in turn improves haemoglobin saturation. In Europe, CRet is widely used in various medical rehabilitation processes. The physiological effects of this type of physiotherapy are generated by the application of an electromagnetic field with a frequency of approximately 0.5 MHz to the human body. The effects attributed to this technique include increased deep and superficial blood circulation, vasodilatation, increased temperature, removal of excess fluid and increased cell proliferation. Some of these reactions, such as increased blood perfusion, are known to be related to the increase in temperature, but others, such as increased cell proliferation, appear to be primarily related to the passage of current. It is also true that this increase in tissue temperature, generated through the application of the device, is a physical reaction to the passage of current (Joule effect). Although there is already clinical literature supporting this mechanism, the amount of energy and current that must be transferred to obtain the desired temperature rise is unknown. Moreover, the control of these reactions, by adjusting parameters such as absorbed power and electrode position, is still largely based on the empirical experience of therapists . Recently, new cadaveric publications have been generated, which support the mechanisms of current flow and thermal changes in this situation. Against this background, in which thermal effects, current passage and symptomatic improvements have been demonstrated in patients with pathology, the possibility that these treatments may improve functional sporting abilities is raised. This hypothesis arises from the fact that current flow and thermal changes have been directly related to viscoelastic changes in capsular and muscle tissue. To date, there is no study that has assessed whether this therapy generates any change in functional variables related to sports performance in professional athletes.
A randomized, counterbalanced intervention study in esport players.
Tele-exercise has been used to enhance athletic performance among athletes. Physical performance indicators such as lunge distance, speed, reaction time, coordination, and balance control during stationary jumps can be used to measure the effectiveness of tele-exercise programs for fencing athletes. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of tele-exercise programs on lunge distance, speed, reaction time, coordination, and balance control during stationary jumps among male elite fencers.
Objectives: To compare effectiveness of strengthening hip abductors with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) technique and Range Of Motion (ROM) exercises on core endurance and functional performance in healthy adults using theraband. Methods: 66 sedentary healthy, male volunteers between ages 20-26 (mean age 21,68± 1,37 years) participated in study. PNF, ROM exercises applied with theraband include intervention groups. Theraband strengthening exercises were applied 3 days a week for 6 weeks, a total of 18 sessions. Intervention groups were compared with healthy control group. Participants hip abductor muscle strength was assessed with hand held dynamometer, lower extremity balance with y test, core endurance with flexor, extensor, right, left side endurance tests, global core stability with single leg squat test at baseline and at 6 weeks after exercise program.
Cricket is an extremely demanding sport. At an elite level, players are often required to perform at their limits of speed, agility, flexibility, endurance and strength. On top of all of this, players must maintain a high state of concentration in order to meet the tactical/mental demands of dealing with their opponents. In young cricket players, the most important attributes are high levels of skill. A long-term commitment to endurance and strength training is necessary to reach and maintain a player's full physical potential. The two primary objectives of the resistance program are to prevent injury and enhance the game's abilities. Strength plays a key role in all motor abilities, technical skills and tactical actions. Endurance performance capacity has long been recognized as an important prerequisite for on-field performance for Cricket players.
The sport of cricket calls for a high level of physical fitness and mastery of skills. Cricket players, especially fast bowlers, must have the skills to maintain consistency in their pace and accuracy while bowling helps them prevent batsmen from settling into their innings and helps bowlers succeed in getting wickets. Fast bowlers, being some of the most influential players on the cricket field, must undergo specific trainings. Sports-specific Drills and Plyometric training are two important types of training that help athletes in their particular sports.
