The main aim of this study is to determine the effect of carbohydrate loading with combination of agility training in performance of tennis players as previous studies did not show the combining effects of carbohydrate loading and agility training.Total 60 players will be included in this study from which 30 tennis players are in control group and 30 tennis players in experimental group. Baseline Glucose level will be assessed by Gluco-meter before and after intervention of the study each day. In experimental group 50 % carbohydrate will be given in first 3 days and 70 % in next 3 days respectively. Average carbohydrates required for athletes are 6 to 10 gram per kilogram per day. T-Test, Illinois agility test and Agility Compass drill test will use as baseline assessment and after 6 days of intervention and vertical jump height will be assessed through force plates. In control group T-Test will be performed, Illinois agility test and Agility Compass drill test, after 6 days of intervention and vertical jump height will be assessed through force plates.
Exercise is probably the most effective approach to reduce blood pressure. In fact, a single bout of exercise induces a physiological response known as Post-Exercise Hypotension (PEH) where a prolonged decrease in resting blood pressure occurs in the minutes and hours after exercise. However, it is not fully understood how this response triggers. Recent evidence suggests that oral bacteria may play a key role in blood pressure control by enhancing nitrite, and then nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability under resting conditions in humans. However, no previous study has investigated whether this is a key mechanism involve in PEH. Thus, the main aim of this study was to investigate if the oral nitrate/nitrite pathway is a key regulator of PEH and vasodilation in healthy humans.
Panax Ginseng (P ginseng), C.A. Meyer, Red, Chinese or Korean ginseng is a plant from eastern Asia and is one of the most widely used herbal products in the world. P ginseng has been been used for many years for different medical therapies. Previous studies have demonstrate that P. ginseng root extract supplementation may promote fat oxidation, increase hepatic glycogen levels and produce a glycogen-sparing and antifatigue effect during exercise in swimming rats. Notwithstanding, although there is some evidence of P. ginseng effects in humans, no evidence has been obtained respect to its supplementation in human sport performance. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of P ginseng extract supplementation on the lipid metabolism and sport performance in male endurance runners. For this purpose, the effect of supplementation for 2 weeks of 500 mg/day of P. ginseng will be evaluated in a sub-maximal physical stress test. Variables of lipid metabolism, energy consumption, fatigue, and endurance will be determined.
The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of different strengthening methods on hamstring muscle group's passive mechanical properties and to investigate this effect's relation with performance changes in healthy individuals. 42 healthy sedentary male participated in this study. Passive mechanical properties and strength of hamstring and quadriceps muscles, flexibility of hamstring muscles, anaerobic explosive strength, reaction time, agility were measured. Participants randomized evenly into one of three groups; eccentric, concentric and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). After 8 weeks training period, participants were measured again.
The aim of this study is to investigate the acute effect of two different training on the balance and performance of healthy young football players. Cognitive-Based Neuromuscular Education (CBNE) will be applied to one group and Game Based Education (GBE) will be applied to the other group. In addition to study groups, there will also be a control group. Individuals will be randomly placed in groups. Sociodemographic data will be recorded at the beginning for all athletes. Then the first measurements of dynamic balance and performance will be taken. Star Balance Excursion Test will be used to assess the dynamic balance. Measurements shall be taken in 8 directions including anterior (A), anterolateral (AL), lateral (L), posterolateral (PL), posterior (P), posteromedial (PM), medial (M) and anteromedial (AM) for the right and left sides. Performance will be evaluated by Speed Dribbling test. After the first measurements, two study groups will be trained. The control group will spend this time relaxing. After the trainings, the final measurements will be taken. Purposes The primary purpose; The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effect of CBNE and GBE on dynamic balance and performance in healthy young football players. Secondary objectives; The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between dynamic balance and performance in healthy young football players. hypotheses H0: In healthy young soccer players, CBNE and / or GBE has no acute effect on balance. H0: In healthy young soccer players, CBNE and / or GBE has no acute effect on performance. H1: CBNE and / or GBE have an acute effect on balance in healthy young football players. H2: CBNE and / or GBE have an acute effect on performance in healthy young football players.
As core stability improves in handball players, ball-throwing speed increases as well. Postural stability is considered as the most important component of athletic performance as it occurs in almost all movement types. No studies have yet evaluated postural stability, performance and trunk muscle endurance in female athletes at the same time and examined the relationship between these parameters.This study aims to identify the relationship between the postural stability, performance and trunk muscle endurance of female athletes in different branches of sports.
Background & Purpose: Shoulder injuries are commonly seen in overhead athletes due to the mechanism of the repetitive and high velocity movement. While the injury usually cost the lost of time in playing, making the decision of the time to return to play (RTP) is a critical issue that should be standardized and objective. However, current studies showed that the decision making of RTP is so complicated that there's lack of objective measurements especially for upper extremity injuries. So, investigating the usage of convenient and valid tools, functional performance assessments for assessing the ability to RTP is the main objective of this study. Objective: There are 2 objectives for this study: (1) to investigate the difference between RTP group and non-RTP in overhead athletes with shoulder injury; (2) to investigate the responsiveness of the functional performance assessment in return to play for overhead athletes with shoulder injury. Methods: Overhead athletes with shoulder injury or surgery which leads to temporary leaving to the sport within will be recruited in this study. The shoulder joint range of motion (flexion, extension, external/internal rotation, and abduction), shoulder muscle strength (flexors, abductors and external/internal rotators), patient-reported outcome (KJOC and DASH questionnaire) and functional performance assessments (FMS, YBT-UQ, CKCUEST, USSP and TPUT) will be assessed at 6 months after the athlete was injured or received surgery, and at the time point if the athletes successfully complete at least one formal game or practice game (RTP group). If the athlete doesn't return within 12 months after injury or surgery, the assess will be done at the 12th month after injury or surgery. Significance and Contribution: This study is going to provide an objective measurement value of functional performance assessment in injured overhead athletes, determining whether the strength, endurance or power of the upper extremity is good enough to return to the sport that the athlete played before this injury. The result is also expected to have significant contribution in the area of sports medicine in return to play especially in overhead athletes, which has limited evidence providing specific criteria and objective measurement value previously.
