Filter by:While prior research indicates the efficacy of High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) in improving physical fitness and skill performance across various sports , its effects on Wushu routine athletes still need to be determined. This study aims to explore the impact of high-intensity functional training on the physical fitness and jumping difficulty of Wushu routine athletes, providing valuable insights for coaches and athletes to optimize training plans. Coaches or sports researchers can use this knowledge to manage the training load of athletes better, thereby helping Wushu athletes achieve better results in Wushu jumping difficulty movements training.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in inspiratory muscle training on cardiorespiratory capacity, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, sports skills, and quality of life of wheelchair rugby athletes. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are the wheelchair rugby athletes show better results in cardiopulmonary assessment tests in safety and effort, in the post- inspiratory muscle training period, when compared to their results in the pre-inspiratory muscle training period? - Is inspiratory muscle training capable of increasing ventilatory capacity at rest and during exertion? Participants will be evaluated through questionnaires, laboratory and field tests, such as: - Pulmonary function (spirometry), - Inspiratory muscle strength (manovacuometry), - Cardiorespiratory capacity under exertion (cardiopulmonary exercise test), - Wheelchair rugby specific skills (Beck Battery) - Quality of life (WHOQOL-DIS) .
The goal of this study is to compare the result of shoulder ranges of motion and isometric strength before and after a single badminton match in young elite badminton players of Rawalpindi. This is an observational study. The main questions it aims to answer is; Does the shoulder ranges of motion and isometric strength increases or decreases before and after a single badminton match. ROM and Isometric strength will be performed on the participants.
Mindfulness-based interventions have gained popularity among elite athletes, but their effectiveness for enhancing archery performance remains inconsistent. This study examined the feasibility of a 12-week mindfulness flow program (MFP) specifically designed for archers, and assessed the effect of the MFP on shooting performance. The intervention aims to enhance shooting performance, mindfulness, and the flow state, while reducing post-intervention anxiety.
Sports that require overhead activities (volleyball, tennis, basketball) include components such as rapid displacement, strength and movement control.Volleyball is also called as an overhead sport in terms of the way it is played. In the realization of these sports; Sub-parameters such as proprioceptive sense, strength, throwing rate, flexibility play a role. During these activities, the shoulder and elbow joints are overloaded. To meet this load, the joint must provide the necessary mobility and stability. Proprioceptive sense in increasing the quality and width of movement as well as providing dynamic joint stability in overhead sports; Increasing the range of motion of the joint, reducing muscle stiffness and thus increasing flexibility are effective in providing mobility. That's why it's important to develop them. Likewise, muscle strength should be increased in order to maintain movement performance and prevent injuries. The use of myofascial release techniques as an exercise method has increased in recent years. Application; The effects on parameters such as strength, performance and flexibility were investigated. Studies have focused more on the lower extremities and acute effects. There is no study on the subject examining proprioceptive sensation in volleyball players in the upper extremity. Therefore, our aim is to examine the chronic effects of the application on shoulder and elbow joint mobility, sensorimotor function and performance.
Practical blood flow restriction (PBFR) is a new technique of reducing the venous return using a band with a pressure that is applied using a perceived pressure scale. The studies that investigate the acute effect of using PBFR and regular high intensity exercises on the level of growth hormone (GH) and blood lactate (BL) after lower extremity training in collegiate athletes are scarce.
The Quantum Menstrual Health Monitoring Study will measure four key reproductive hormones in the urine to characterize patterns that predict and confirm ovulation, referenced to serum hormones and the gold-standard of the ultrasound day of ovulation in participants with regular cycles. These normal cycles will provide a reference for comparison to irregular cycles in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and athletes. Clinical signs in the menstrual cycle (e.g. menstrual bleeding, temperature) as well as vital sign and sleep patterns will also be referenced to hormonal changes.
The aim of this study is; to create a special exercise program that will improve the performance of shooting athletes and to examine the effect of this exercise program on shooting performance, muscular strength and endurance of air pistol athletes.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of isolated and combined caffeine and sodium bicarbonate consumption on acute isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) strength, and verify whether they are cumulative, neutral or subtractive.
Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is known as the energy used by an organism during a day. The TDEE is divided into resting energy expenditure (REE), the thermic effect of food (TFE), and the energy expenditure of physical activity. There are multiple methods of measuring REE (e.g., estimating equations, direct and indirect calorimetry) among which there are significant discrepancies in its calculation in specific populations. Considering the lack of validation in the Colombian population to estimate the REE, the objective of the present research study is to compare the methods for estimating resting energy expenditure in the Colombian population with different levels of physical activity. This cross-sectional-observational study will be carried out through the guidelines for strengthening the reporting of observational studies in nutritional epidemiology (STROBE-Nut). The study population will be 130 adults from the city of Medellín, Bogotá and metropolitan areas with different levels of physical activity according to the results of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPA-Q) where a high (athletes), moderate (physically active people) and low (sedentary) categorization will be made, then the indirect calorimetry tests will be applied. The development of the equation to estimate the REE will be carried out with multiple regression models under traditional and Bayesian approaches with three independent variables. It is expected to obtain a simple and valid equation to estimate the REE and contribute to the good practices of Colombian practitioners in health sciences, exercise, and sports.
