Filter by:The primary objective is to assess the impact of two nutritional interventions vs. placebo on objective and subjective sleep measures in athletes. Participants receive one beverage on each of three consecutive nights in a randomized manner. It is hypothesized the two nutritional interventions will result in significant improvements in sleep onset latency, and will not result in a negative impact on next-day cycling performance. The secondary objective is to assess the impact of the nutritional interventions vs. placebo on next-morning performance (physical, cognitive function, and balance).
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of ski sport on physical performance, pain, and quality of life compared to sedentary individuals of similar age groups and to examine the existence of gender-specific differences.
Exercise-based fall prevention programmes with strength and balance components have been shown to reduce the rate of falls, risk of falling, fractures and injuries. However, there is little evidence on the implementation of these programmes in real-world settings. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of exercise-based fall prevention interventions on fall risk (physical performance and fear of falling) among community-dwelling older adults who are at risk of falling in Singapore. A secondary aim is to assess the effectiveness of the programme on other health outcomes. The study will also evaluate the programme implementation from 3 perspectives of older adults, implementers and community partners.
Our study was conducted to compare the physical performances of the upper extremity and lower extremity of handball players according to the positions they played. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 39 elite female handball players with at least of 5 years playing experience were tested.Maximal voluntary isometric (MVIC) knee flexion and extension strength were measured using a handheld dynamometer (HDD) (Lafayette Instrument Company, Lafayette, IN). Lower extremity vertical power was identified through the use of the VertiMetric (Lafayette Instrument Company, Lafayette, IN) according to protocols suggested by Ambegaonkar et al. Trunk extension endurance was measured using the Biering-Sorensen test as previously described.The Davies test (DT) was used to assess upper body agility and stabilization.The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) was utilized to assess shoulder performance function and stability according to protocol suggested by Goldbeck and Davies.The Shark Skill Test (SST) was developed in order to assess lower extremity agility and neuromuscular control.
During military action there might be situations where civil requirements for blood transfusion are not obtainable. Numerous warfare experiences suggest that administration of whole blood to a patient with uncontrollable bleeding/bleeding shock will improve survival in case of delayed evacuation. Among Norwegian troops this gives one of two choices: 1. A soldier donates blood to a wounded fellow soldier 2. Personnel in safe distance donates blood and it is transported to the frontline. Alternative b might implicate frequent donations and unused blood must be auto-re-transfused. This study will investigate: 1. Can 'buddy transfusion' in the field be justified also in medical aspects? 2. Can repeated donations and auto-transfusions of transported whole blood into personnel(X) be justified also in medical aspects? (X) Blood typed and screened for HIV, HBV, HCV, Syphilis before assignment
The objective of this study is to compare the body composition and physical performance effects of HIIT, with or without intermittent fasting intervention in active women. Fourteen active normal weight women aged 18-35 participated in the study. The effects of 2x8 weeks without (HIIT) or with (HIIT+IF) intermittent fasting caloric restriction (20% reduction in weekly energy intake) on body composition and performance (Hand-grip strength, Counter movement jump, Wingate Anaerobic 30 s Cycling Test), were compared. There were two weeks in between both phases when they did not perform the scheduled activity, so as not to alter the experimental phase.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of weighted rope jump training on physical fitness in taekwondo athletes. Randomized controlled trail was done on Total 52 male taekwondo players, aged between 13 to 19 years. Players were randomly divided into 2 groups at Khubaib Taekwondo Academy. Experimental group ( n=26) had weighted rope training for 8 weeks, 3 days in a week along with routine taekwondo training and control group (n=26) had to follow only routine training for 8 weeks. Agility t- test, 50 meter run test, sargent jump test, sit and reach test and yo-yo endurance test were performed at baseline, 4th and 8th week to assess the physical fitness in participants. Hand grip dynamometer was used to assess the upper limb strength.
Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of thrower's ten exercises on the upper extremity performance in healthy sedentary individuals. Method: 36 healthy sedentary men and women aged 18-35 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided into two groups: exercise and control. The exercise group will be given Thrower's Ten training sessions 3 times a week over an 8-week period. Before and after the study, the subjects were tested for dynamic balance on the upper extremity with the Upper Limp Y balance test and for explosive power with the medicine ball throw test. Moreover, the strength of the shoulder rotator muscles was measured with an isokinetic dynamometer at a speed of 60º/sec.
Test the short-term effects of the acute consumption of two separate beverages containing different concentrations of polyphenols, a beverage containing 75 mg of caffeine and a flavored placebo beverage on mental energy and physical performance
This study analyzed the effects of 15 days of beetroot juice supplementation on different performance measures in elite Spanish distance runners
