Abstract:

The purpose of the work is to study the development of anti-stress plastic gymnastics (APG) as a promising area of motor culture. The article reveals anti-stress plastic gymnastics – a new direction of mass health exercise. It is a holistic approach to human moral and physical health based on improving the quality of physical movement, balance of the nervous system and thinking. Gymnastics is the basis of all individual sports and physical activity. Gymnastics helps to develop kinesthetic awareness much better than any other activity. Kinesthetic awareness is the sensation of body movement. Anti-stress plastic gymnastics is a culture of movements that will replace any medication. It in coordination of physical movements and the neuropsychological device guarantees effect of increase of a tone and improvement of the general condition of an organism. Gymnastics helps to restore joint mobility, lost flexibility, the natural beauty of movement, internal balance. The method of anti-stress plastic gymnastics is specially designed to protect mental health and serves as an effective means of combating physical and mental overload and their consequences. Teachers of Lysychansk Pedagogical College, in particular L. Borisenko, conducts master classes. Developed a video of the appeal and practically showed the implementation of exercises with APG. Uses elements of APG during classes in disciplines of professionally-oriented cycle.

Abstract:

Introduction: Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) affect health professionals by frequent exposure to physical and mental overloads during the workday. Physiotherapy aims to promote functional health of the individual, however ergonomic conditions in their workplace are often precarious and that along with the activities and repetitive movements resisted overload the musculoskeletal system inducing damage to your physical condition. Objective: Identify the occurrence of Musculoskeletal Disorders (DMEs) in physical therapists working in public and private health services in Recife-Pernambuco, recording determinants and establishing relationship with clinical practice and the workload of the tests. Method: Observational study of physiotherapists of both genders. Peres administered questionnaire collected personal information, professional performance and DMEs Results: 41 physiotherapists; 85.4% reported DMEs, females (80.5%); 41.4% between 24-30 years; places of work, hospitals (70.7%) and clinical (63.4%); predominance of lesions in the spine and upper limbs; 65.7% changed work habits due to the occurrence of DMEs. Significant correlation between age and gender prevalence in females; since the occurrence of DMEs was not significantly correlated with time of practice, with workload, with the number of daily visits nor to rest at work. Conclusion: The volunteers showed high percentage of involvement by DMEs, especially in the spine, which seems to be related to the age and gender of the therapist. The study indicates that physical therapists are an exposed to risk for developing occupational musculoskeletal disorders profession, requiring awareness of students and professionals about proper use of the body itself, the risks of the profession in order to prevent future physical limitations.

Abstract:

Background Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is commonly associated with premature loss of muscle function, ankle dorsiflexion and dynamic balance. Those impairments, usually, lead to physical functionality deterioration. High-intensity interval training is an efficient and safety methodology since it prevents hypoglycemia and not requires much time, which are the main barriers for this population to practice exercise and increase physical conditioning. We hypothesized that a 6-week HIIT program performed on a cycle ergometer would increase lower limb muscle power, ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and dynamic balance without hypoglycemic situations. Methods A total of 19 diagnosed T1DM subjects were randomly assigned to HIIT group (n = 11; 6-week HIIT protocol) or Control group (n = 8; no treatment). Lower limb strength was evaluated through velocity execution in squat with three different overloads. Weight bearing lunge test (WBLT) was performed to test ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and Y-Balance test (YBT) was the test conducted to analyze dynamic balance performance. Results Velocity in squat improved a 11.3%, 9.4% and 10.1% (p < 0.05) with the 50%, 60% and 70% of their own body mass overload respectively, WBLT performance increased a 10.43% in the right limb and 15.45% in the left limb. YBT showed improvements in all directions (right limb-left limb): Anterior (4.3–6.1%), Posteromedial (1.8–5.2%) and Posterolateral (3.4–4.5%) in HIIT group (p < 0.05), unlike control group that did not experience any significant change in any of the variables (p > 0.05). Conclusion A 6-week HIIT program is safe and effective to improve execution velocity in squat movement, a fundamental skill in daily living activities, as well as ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and dynamic balance to reduce foot ulcers, risk falls and functional impairments. HIIT seems an efficient and safety training methodology not only for overcome T1DM barriers for exercising but also for improving functional capacities in T1DM people.

Abstract:

Background: Excessive repetitive loads are widely believed to be the cause of overload or overuse injuries. On third-generation artificial turf, impacts have been found to vary with surface and shoe properties. Mechanical devices are considered not representative for measuring impact absorption during athletic movements, and pressure insoles have been shown as inaccurate with regard to magnitude of force. Purpose: To compare impact properties between different third-generation artificial turf systems in combination with various cleat configurations in vivo using force plate technology. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Twenty-two male soccer players (mean ± SD: age, 23.1 ± 2.8 y; height, 1.81 ± 0.1 m; body mass, 77.5 ± 6.0 kg) performed 10 short sprints, 5 straight with a sudden stop and 5 with a 90° cut, over a force plate covered with artificial turf for each combination of 3 turf systems and 3 cleat configurations. Results: During stop sprints, peak impact was significantly higher on a recreational-level turf system than professional-level turf systems with and without an underlying shock pad (3.12 body weight [ W] vs 3.01 W and 3.02 W, respectively). During cut sprints, peak impact was significantly higher with traditional round cleats than with turf cleats and bladed cleats (2.99 W vs 2.84 W and 2.87 W, respectively). Conclusion: The results indicate that both an increase in assumed impact-absorbing surface properties and a larger distribution of shorter cleats produced lower impacts during standardized athletic movements. Regardless, none of the shoe-surface combinations yielded peak impacts of an assumed hazardous magnitude. Clinical Relevance: The study provides information on the extent to which various third-generation artificial turf systems and cleat configurations affect impact force, widely believed to be a causative factor for overload and overuse injuries.

Abstract:

In various sectors of the economy, heavy physical labor remains a leading risk factor for injury, the development of occupational and occupational diseases, including musculoskeletal system. A signif cant proportion of pathologies are diseases of the musculoskeletal system of the shoulder girdle, leading to temporary disability, loss of working time and increased economic costs. T e use of industrial exoskeletons will increase the level of automation of production operations and is relevant in industries where the employee is an integral part of the labor process. T e introduction of industrial exoskeletons will reduce the burden of labor by optimal redistribution of load on various parts of the musculoskeletal system. T e industrial exoskeleton is an external mechanical support structure that at aches to the human body by means of cuf s and is designed to assist in performing production movements. T e most ef ective for unloading the muscles of the upper body of the employee are industrial exoskeletons aimed at holding a heavy tool and maintaining an optimal working posture. Most of the available industrial exoskeletons tested at the enterprises are passive, in the future it is necessary to develop light mobile active exoskeletons with dimensions optimal for the working space. T e actual direction of research is the substantiation and development of requirements for the design of industrial exoskeletons, standardized criteria and methods for assessing their safety and ef iiency of protecting the employee from the ef ects of physical overload, which is a harmful production factor.

Abstract:

Introduction: Resistance towing is perhaps the most specific form of developing strength and power in muscles involved directly during the start, acceleration and at maximum speed. Resisted sprint training may involve towing a sled which provides an overload through the friction between the sled and ground surface or a modern advanced training device which uses drag technology to provide fully controlled resistance during the movement, such as the 1080 Sprint. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the optimal loading for the development of power in the engine assisted drag technology system SPRINT 1080. Material and methods: We evaluated the changes in running velocity and the generated force and power during resisted sprints over 30m with a load of 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 kg. Seven male sprinters with national and international experience participated in the study. Their average age, body mass and body height were 22.2 ± 2.4 years, 77.43 ± 4.63 kg, and 178.6 ± 3.2 cm, respectively. All athletes performed six 30 m sprints with 5 min rest intervals in between. The first sprint was performed without additional resistance, while the remaining 5 were performed in an random order with additional resistance of 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 kg. After receiving a verbal signal, the participant started at will from a semi crouched position. During the resisted sprint trials, the time [s] and the following variables were recorded in peak values: power output [W], generated force [N], and sprinting velocity [m/s]. Results: Our results show that loading with 6 kg decreased sprinting velocity by 9.37% while the generated horizontal power increased by 31,32%. The 6 kg loading on the Sprint 1080device corresponded to 8% body mass, yet as mentioned before the baseline results were not fully free sprinting as the tested athletes reached velocities 0.5-0.6 m/s greater without the harness. Conclusion: Taking into account this fact, our results seem to confirm previous findings, that external loads between 8 and 13% may be optimal for improving power and sprinting speed at the same time.

Abstract:

Objective: To describe the conservative management of a young athlete with extension-based (EB) low back pain (LBP). Background: We present the case of a 15-year-old female high school gymnast with a 4-year history of EB LBP. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a healed spondylolysis and significant atrophy with fatty infiltrate of the lumbar multifidi muscles (LMM). She had several courses of outpatient orthopaedic rehabilitation that focused on core muscle strengthening (improving activation and strength of the LMM and transversus abdominus muscle in a neutral pelvic position) without long-lasting improvement. She was unable to tolerate higher levels of training or compete. Differential Diagnosis: The LMM are rich in muscle spindles and provide continuous feedback to the central nervous system about body position. Atrophy and fatty infiltrate of the LMM can compromise neuromuscular function and contribute to dysfunctional movement patterns that place a greater demand on lumbar spine structures. Ongoing motor-control impairments perpetuate nociceptive input, leading to central sensitization. Treatment: The athlete had difficulty controlling trunk extension during sport-specific activities; she moved early and to a greater extent in the lumbar spine. The aim of the treatment was to teach the athlete how to control her tendency to overload her lumbar spine when bending backward, thus reducing nociceptive input from lumbar spine structures and desensitizing the nervous system. Uniqueness: Treating EB LBP by addressing motor-control impairments and cognitive-affective factors as opposed to core strengthening. Conclusions: Activity modification, bracing, and traditional core-strengthening exercises may not be the most appropriate treatment for athletes experiencing EB LBP. Addressing cognitive-affective factors in addition to correcting maladaptive motor behavior and moving in a pain-free range reduces nociceptive input, desensitizes the nervous system, and allows athletes to gain control over their pain.

Abstract:

Vibration as a tool for massage and rehabilitation has been known for a long time. However, the vibration as a tool in sport workout is used very recently and is being used to increase strength, power, flexibility and coordination. It should also be noted that proper dosing of whole-body vibration plays a very important role in lymph drainage and in the treatment of overloaded joints. Improving and retaining physical fitness as well as repeating sets of exercises on one muscle group to spend as much energy resources in this muscle is important in fitness, in order to increase muscle mass and conditioning. Tonic effect of local vibrostimulation can warm up single muscle or muscle group, but also it can lead to excessive fatigue. So the aim of research is assessment of the effects of local vibrostimulation on the strength endurance for women in seated knee extension motion. Literature was analysed and an experiment was used to find out how strength endurance parameters change for 18-23 year old women after local vibration stimulation. A study was conducted with 20 women aged 18 to 23 years. For these women, control of single leg strength endurance was performed by seated leg extension movement, followed by local vibrostimulation of the quadriceps femoris muscle. This procedure was followed by a repeated strength endurance control. In this study, we found that the strength endurance parameters of the stimulated leg increased by an average of 5 repetitions during 30 seconds of control motion. We conclude that dosed local vibrostimulation sessions can increase strength endurance parameters locally for one muscle group.

Abstract:

Background:Objectives:To identify factors associated with pain in patients with early knee osteoarthritis fulfilling ESKOA criteria [1].Methods:50 patients (46 women (92%); 4 men (8%)) fulfilling ESKOA criteria were enrolled in the trial, every participant signed up the consent form. Median age of patients was 47 ± 8 yrs (36 – 63 yrs), body mass index (BMI) was 28.5 ± 4.9 kg/m2 (40% of patients had obesity). Every patient, after signing the standard informed consent form, was addressed to a physician, who would fill in an individual case report form (CRF), including anthropometric parameters, history of OA, comorbidities and physical examination data. Knee pain was also assessed with the use of visual analog scale (VAS). All participants underwent knee X-ray according to the standardized fixed flexion protocol with the use of positioning frame [2].Results:Most of the patients (70%) were between the ages of 35 and 50 and only 15 of them (30%) were older than 50 years. Median knee pain duration was found to be 16 (12-20) weeks, intensity of VAS – knee pain was 46 mm (42-50). Median number of episodes of knee pain (in the last 6 months) was 3 (2-6); 30 participants (60%) had episodes of knee pain lasting less than a week, 8 of them (6%) had pain lasting for around a week, 12 of them (24%) had episodes of pain lasting more than one week. In most patients (74%) pain relieved with time, without any additional therapy. Most of the patients had episodes of knee pain linked to increased overload (48 (96%)), when squatting (41 (82%)), most of the patients also reported pain when climbing up and down the stairs (80%) and short joint stiffness when starting movement (76%). Knee pain after sitting was reported in 54% of cases and 20 participants (40%) also reported some walking limitations due to knee discomfort.Knee X-ray revealed that most of the patients had I Kellgren&Lawrence (K&L) stage knee OA (picture 1). All the included participants had ESR (7 (5-10 mm/hr)) and CRP (1.24 (0.8-2.2 mg/l)) within normal range.Picture 1 – Radiological knee OA stage (K&L) distribution in the study groupIn the Spearman correlation analysis, we have estimated the factors, which may be associated with more severe pain in patients with early knee OA fulfilling the ESKOA criteria. We found out that higher BMI (r=0.38, р=0.02), presence of metabolic syndrome (r=0.37, р=0.008) and hypertension (r=0.29, р=0.04), as well as walking limitations (r=0.33, р=0.008) are associated with knee pain.Conclusion:The use of ESKOA criteria in patients with short duration of knee pain can facilitate diagnosis of osteoarthritis on an early stage. In addition, the acquired data show that timely diagnosis and correction of certain components of metabolic syndrome may be beneficial for the course of knee pain intensity in patients with early knee OA, further continuation of this trial is necessary.References:[1]Migliore A et al.

Abstract:

Objective: To study the changes of body surface temperature of Taekwondo athletes during overload training, and provide new ideas and means for athletes to evaluate their body response after overload training. Methods: The infrared thermography technique was used to monitor the body surface temperature of the chest and abdomen of the Taekwondo athletes, and the changes of body surface temperature were observed. The experiment used Beckman automatic biochemical analyzer to determine creatine kinase (CK) index. The experiment used the RPE scale to test the self-fatigue sensation. On the training day, the training starts at 9:00 am every day and the training is completed in 2 hours. The training starts at 14:00 in the afternoon and the training is completed in 2 hours. The morning training requires a minimum heart rate of 130 beats/min, and keeps it for more than 30 minutes. The training end time is 11:00; afternoon training requires a minimum heart rate of 170 beats/min, and maintained for more than 30 minutes, the training end time is 16:00. Results: The athletes’ sports injury parts increased significantly after exercise, which can indirectly reflect the athlete’s physical fatigue reaction state after overload training. Body surface temperature has a good consistency with creatine kinase (CK), heart rate, and body function response, indicating that body surface temperature values can replace creatine kinase (CK), heart rate, and self-physiological response, indicating that infrared thermography can be accurate. The physiological response status after overload training was assessed. Conclusion: The thermal imaging camera can accurately identify and analyze the injury and physiological response status of athletes. Infrared thermography studies show that the body surface temperature of athletes has a certain correlation with (CK); the body surface temperature and physiological fatigue response of athletes have certain Correlation law; the body surface temperature of the athlete has a correlation with the heart rate; the body surface temperature of the athlete’s sports injury site after the sports injury is significantly increased, which indirectly reflects the physical fatigue response of the athlete after overload training.

Abstract:

Abstract. Subsidence can result from the collapse of underground cavities. The impact of the movements on existing structures and infrastructures is generally dramatic. Geosynthetic sheets (RG) can be used to reduce their impact. This paper focuses on the use of large-scale physical modelling to study the subsidence mechanisms and to estimate the RG efficiency for cohesive or granular soil layers. The results have shown that the RG reduced the ground movement even under important overload. The deformation of the RG and the surface settlement depend both on the soil type and overload intensity. The experimental results are compared to analytical solutions proposed to design the RG for cohesive and granular soils. Stress distribution on the RG was investigated. The analytical and experimental results are rather similar, that shows the relevance of the analytical models to predict the behaviour of reinforced soil layers.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Research has suggested that balance ability contributes to musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) rates in firefighters. Though the Y-Balance Test (YBT) can predict injury, it is unclear what physical measures inform YBT performance in firefighters. Thus, there is a lack of knowledge regarding best practice for improving balance in firefighters. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the YBT and fitness measures, including body composition, aerobic capacity, functional total-body power, upper and lower-body strength, and movement efficiency, among firefighters. METHODS: Dynamic balance (YBT), body mass index (BMI), body-fat percentage (BF%), fat free mass (FFM), aerobic capacity (VO2max), stair climb (SC), upper (1RMbench) and lower-body (1RMsquat) strength, and Fusionetics™ Movement Efficiency Screen (ME) measures were collected among 35 firefighter recruits. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to examine relationships between YBT and the performance measures. RESULTS: Dynamic balance ability in firefighter recruits is significantly (p < 0.05) related to BMI, lower-body strength, and movement quality, but not with aerobic capacity, stair climb performance, and upper body strength. CONCLUSIONS: Greater YBT performance in firefighter recruits is associated with lower BMI, greater functional movement, and greater lower-body strength. Future research is warranted to incorporate these elements into balance training programs for firefighter recruits.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to disclosure of the tendencies in the promotion of Lithuanian physical activity. During the Soviet times, Lithuanian sports politics was oriented to elite sport and it is still. The attempts to foster physical activity of the population lie on the movement “Sport for all,” but the results of the movement are not effective enough, because only a small part of the population (approximately 6%) took part in it. No one governmental institution has full and clear responsibility for the results of physical activity promotion. The poor environment of physical activity results in poor possibilities to be physically active in leisure domain. Differently, the huge expansion of the private sport, health, and beauty industries fosters the adoration of the body and overemphasizes the meaning of body image in the society. Physical activity is represented as the measure to achieve ideal body image or good health, but not as the measure of the overall culture of the human or society. Conclusions. The long-lasting, health-related physical activity-oriented national strategy is essential to foster physical activity, health, and quality of life at the national level. The multiplicity of possibilities in the physical activity would foster lifestyle activity instead of adoration of body image and would improve the psychological and physical well-being of the population.

Abstract:

Today in the modern world the basic human need for the development of one's own body and keeping it healthy and fit is a topical issue. Health is one of the most important prerequisites for harmonious, full-fledged life and personal self-realization. And it is precisely physical education that is aimed at the formation of a healthy, physically complete personality and the functional improvement of the organism. Dance is an integral part of a human plastic culture. The danceplastic culture education begins with the knowledge and development of the musculoskeletal system of a dancer. First and foremost, students need to learn how to perform basic dance exercises and movements efficiently, anatomically competently and consciously. In our understanding, the contemporary dance technique (post-postmodern) is the technique based on the natural laws of the body functioning with regard to the organization of movement and breathing. Muscles’ release from excessive tension and the activation of the faction level in movement organization, the natural anatomical work of joints and their strengthening, the structure of the body interrelations - all of the abovementioned should precede the technical dance mastery as a high-quality physical training of a student for further mastering of professional disciplines. That is why, in our opinion, a modern student-dancer should be knowledgeable about the body by the following parameters: how human movement is organized, structural peculiarities of the skeletal mobile zones (joints), the understanding what makes the body move in space, what is the center of the body gravity, how the movement of a person from the lower tier to the upper tier in space is organized, what is primary for understanding and training your body and why breathing is acknowledged as the number one item in teaching contemporary dance, what are fasciae and why the experienced dancers-teachers talk so much about them during their classes, how the floor plays the role of a partner and allows you to feel the zones with excessive tension in your body during movement, what BF (Bartenieff Fundamentals) and LMA (Laban Мovement Аnalysis) are and more.

Abstract:

Objective : To investigate the effects of different intensities of acute exercise on insulin sensitivity and protein kinase B/Akt activity in skeletal muscle of obese mice. Methods : Swiss mice were randomly divided into four groups, and fed either a standard diet (control group) or high fat diet (obese sedentary group and obese exercise group 1 and 2) for 12 weeks. Two different exercise protocols were used: swimming for 1 hour with or without an overload of 5% body weight. The insulin tolerance test was performed to estimate whole-body sensitivity. Western blot technique was used to determine protein levels of protein kinase B/Akt and phosphorylation by protein Kinase B/Akt in mice skeletal muscle. Results : A single bout of exercise inhibited the high fat diet-induced insulin resistance. There was increase in phosphorylation by protein kinase B/Akt serine, improve in insulin signaling and reduce of fasting glucose in mice that swam for 1 hour without overload and mice that swan for 1 hour with overload of 5%. However, no significant differences were seen between exercised groups. Conclusion : Regardless of intensity, aerobic exercise was able to improve insulin sensitivity and phosphorylation by protein kinase B/Ak, and proved to be a good form of treatment and prevention of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract:

Human body movement is a complex process which depends on many factors. Insufficient power or disturbed balance of power between muscle groups which move certain parts of the body causing shortness of movement, overload of articular cartilage and ligaments, arthritis, joint pain and immobility, and often of the whole body. Isokinetic functional testing on the isokinetic dynamometer is the most objective method for detailed diagnostics of muscles and joints, as it provides a detailed insight into the state of the locomotor apparatus of each person. The research that was carried out was aimed to determine the effects of four weeks of isokinetic training on morphological characteristics and isokinetic capabilities. The training program on the isokinetic apparatus consisted of maximum intensity exercise, the resistance of which is gradually increased, at different angular velocities, from the first to the fourth week. Training on the isokinetic apparatus enables targeted, faster, better and more efficiently increase of force of deficient upper knee musculature muscle groups. Muscle is dynamically activated to its full capacity, constantly, during the entire range of motion and no load of associated joints, so the work on the knee joint mobility is higher.

Abstract:

Through a musical examination of The Hands (Movement 1) (1986), this article reveals musical developments of Michel Waisvisz’s early performance practice with The Hands. Waisvisz’s digital musical instrument, The Hands, helped shape the body as a recognisable agent of musical structure; this article details how the instrument controls relate to musical gesture and reveals the physical efforts of the composer through spectral analyses of the sound recording and an investigation of a 1987 performance video. The rich context of The Hands – the instrument controls, Waisvisz’s decades-long dedication to the instrument’s potential and, more centrally, the exploration of human effort in performance – have made this pioneering live-performance system for electronic music stand for more than just a musical instrument. Many authors cite Michel Waisvisz’s Hands technology but few provide musical analyses of Waisvisz’s music. The musical analysis of The Hands (Movement 1) (1986) highlights the art practice of a seminal composer–performer through one of his most important digital musical instruments and signals how the body became an instrument for playing digital electronic music.

Abstract:

This paper presents a wearable wireless system for measuring human body activities, consisting of small inertial sensor nodes and the main hub for data transmission via Bluetooth for further analysis. Unlike optical and ultrasonic technologies, the proposed solution has no movement restrictions, such as the requirement to stay in the line of sight, and it provides information on the dynamics of the human body’s poses regardless of its location. The problem of the correct placement of sensors on the body is considered, a simplified architecture of the wearable clothing is described, an experimental set-up is developed and tests are performed. The system has been tested by performing several physical exercises and comparing the performance with the commercially available BTS Bioengineering SMART DX motion capture system. The results show that our solution is more suitable for complex exercises as the system based on digital cameras tends to lose some markers. The proposed wearable sensor clothing can be used as a multi-purpose data acquisition device for application-specific data analysis, thus providing an automated tool for scientists and doctors to measure patient’s body movements.

Abstract:

Evidence shows that cardiac hypertrophy (CH) is a risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases. Several stimuli may cause CH-like manifestations and promote volume or pressure overload. Exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy is an expected adaptation to regular exercise training. Salt intake has been shown to be the most important determinant of blood pressure in different populations. The purpose of the present work was to verify the influence of physical exercise and sodium intake on the blood pressure and myocardium. The study was performed on 36 rats divided into six groups: Group I (diet without salt overload), Group II (diet without salt overload and swimming), Group III (diet with 2.5% NaCl solution and swimming), Group IV (diet with 5% NaCl solution and swimming), Group V (diet with 2.5% NaCl solution without exercise), Group VI (diet with 5% NaCl solution without exercise). The arterial pressure was significantly lower in Group I when compared with Group IV. The ratio of cardiac mass/body mass was increased in Groups III and IV. In conclusion, there was evidence that exercise training and NaCl intake promotes arterial hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the effects that movement, cue complexity, and the location of tactile displays on the body have on tactile change detection. Background Tactile displays have been demonstrated as a means to address data overload by offloading the visual and auditory modalities. However, change blindness—the failure to detect changes in a stimulus when changes coincide with another event or disruption in stimulus continuity—has been demonstrated to affect the tactile modality and may be exacerbated during movement. The complexity of tactile cues and locations of tactile displays on the body may also affect the detection of changes in tactile patterns. Limitations to tactile perception need to be examined. Method Twenty-four participants performed a tactile change detection task while sitting, standing, and walking. Tactile cues varied in complexity and included low, medium, and high complexity cues presented to the arm or back. Results Movement adversely affects tactile change detection as hit rates were the highest while sitting, followed by standing and walking. Cue complexity affected tactile change detection: Low complexity cues resulted in higher detection rates compared with medium and high complexity cues. The arms exhibited better change detection performance than the back. Conclusion The design of tactile displays should consider the effect of movement. Cue complexity should be minimized and decisions about the location of a tactile display should take into account body movements to support tactile perception. Application The findings can provide design guidelines to inform tactile display design for data-rich, complex domains.

Abstract:

Research suggests that young people’s understanding of how their bodies move in space and time is deteriorating. The aim of this study was to examine how students learn to analyse sensations and feelings while running. In total, 94 students aged 16–19 years and seven physical education (PE) teachers from two different secondary schools participated in the study. Five different PE lessons were designed, conducted and analysed based on the tenets of variation theory. Two questions guided the investigation: (a) What aspects of the running movement do students discern as critical for increased awareness of body posture in running? (b) In what way do lesson designs and teaching techniques affect students’ identification of critical aspects of body posture in running? The paper provides examples of how embodied exploration of body awareness can be used as an educational means to enhance movement capabilities. Two themes are identified and described: tentative critical aspects of body posture for running, and differences in students’ ways of developing movement capability. The paper concludes with a summary of the main results along with reflections on issues that require further attention.

Abstract:

The cognitive overload not only affects the physical and mental diseases, but also affects the work efficiency and safety. Hence, the research of measuring cognitive load has been an important part of cognitive load theory. In this paper, we proposed a method to identify the state of cognitive load by using eye movement data in a noncontact manner. We designed a visual experiment to elicit human’s cognitive load as high and low state in two light intense environments and recorded the eye movement data in this whole process. Twelve salient features of the eye movement were selected by using statistic test. Algorithms for processing some features are proposed for increasing the recognition rate. Finally we used the support vector machine (SVM) to classify high and low cognitive load. The experimental results show that the method can achieve 90.25% accuracy in light controlled condition.

Abstract Introduction. Physical activity is an indelible part of human life, but the impact of industrial changes on society has led to a hypokinetic lifestyle not only in adults but also in children and youth. This paper aims to present the results of a study of the body posture of 7-year-olds, which is an essential part of their physical development evaluation. The aim of our study was to expand our knowledge of the occurrence of body posture disorders in 7-year-olds, as well as to develop an appropriate movement programme which would help improve the current situation. Material and methods. The research sample consisted of 393 first-graders from 4 grammar schools in Kosice. We used muscle testing according to Janda and Tichy to obtain data on individual muscle weaknesses and postural deviations. Results. Our research confirmed the findings of several other researchers who had pointed out that muscle weaknesses and postural deviations can be observed already in preschoolers. Due to a lack of physical activity and movement, muscle weakness in preschool children results in more serious health issues at school age and later in adulthood. Conclusions. We managed to stabilise and even to correct the weaknesses we observed by implementing a movement programme focusing on the diagnosed muscle weakness.

Abstract:

AbstractIn Sweden, the PE curriculum states that students are expected to develop a number of abilities, a variety of movement activities and qualities. Interesting to explore is then if exergames (video games that includes physical activity) can be seen as a teaching resource to learn different movement’s qualities. With a new teaching tool that has been introduced in education and new policy documents emphasising development of different movement qualities, the purpose of this article is accordingly to investigate students’ use of different movement qualities when playing various exergames during PE. For this we use a version of Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) adapted for exploring exergames in PE practice. The empirical data include video-recordings from PE lessons. The games offered were of three different characters; sports games, exercise games and dance games. We are inspired by the LMA framework and explore students’ movement qualities on the basis of four aspects; body, effort, space and relations. Further, with socio-cultural learning theory, recognition of artefacts, other people and the offered content of the exergames are also involved in the analysis. Our findings show that exergames are creating opportunities for PE teachers and students to pay attention to different movement qualities. In PE the player is accordingly involved in a complex context of movement qualities, interacting with the game and with other students.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Few studies have evaluated the causes of physical inactivity in rural teachers from South America. Determining the causes and effects of physical inactivity in rural teachers could be the base for future intervention studies aiming to improve physical activity (PA) engagement in this population. OBJECTIVES: To examine the levels of PA in rural teachers and evaluate the associations between their jobs, interest in PA, body composition and practice of PA. METHODS: Body mass index (BMI) and body fat % (BF) of rural teachers from the Valparaiso Region in Chile were measured; interviews regarding PA habits, interests and PA practice were conducted. The relationship between BF% and interest in PA and the practice of sports was analysed stratifying by sex. RESULTS: Around 71% were overweight/obese and 80% of the teachers reported not practicing any PA. These figures are higher than the Chilean national average for adults (64.5% overweight/obese). Moreover, females presented a higher BF% than male teachers (35.98% vs. 26.44%, p < 0.05). The main causes of not performing PA were: firstly, the lack of time (51.8%), and secondly, fatigue after work and/or finishing work late. In addition, rural teachers claim that in their free time they continue to finish tasks that they were not able to complete during their working hours. CONCLUSIONS: Rural Chilean teachers show a high prevalence of obesity and low PA levels. Moreover, rural teachers have a work overload stemming from their jobs, and this could be an important link to an overall sedentary lifestyle. Further studies should focus on the relationship between teacher obesity, physical activity, nutrition and work overload.

An example of using undulation is a whip whose tip movement exceeds the speed of sound. The whip-like motion principle requires that the user firmly plant the feet on the ground – a position that may lead to physical damage. Experts note that the load on different parts of the body is lowered by using the entire body appropriately. Using the term “nanba” symbolically to indicate body movement that does not use twisting, undulation, or the firm planting of the feet and that exerts minimal load on the joints, we investigatemovement of a bipedal robot based on state transitions that utilize instability.

Abstract:

AbstractInnovation in training equipment is important for increasing training effectiveness, performance and changes in body composition, especially in wheelchair users with paraplegia. The main objective of a workout session is to induce an adaptation stimulus, which requires overload of involved muscles by voluntary effort, yet this overload may be highly influenced by the size of the spinal cord lesion. Krancykl construction is designed to allow exercise on any wheelchair and with adjustable height or width of crank handles, where even the grip handle may be altered. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in body composition, performance and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) in paraplegics with a different level of paralyses after a 12 week training programme of a unilateral regime on Krankcycle equipment (a crank machine). The study sample included four men and one women at a different spine lesion level. The 12 weeks programme was successfully completed by four participants, while one subject got injured during the intervention process. Three participants were paraplegics and one was quadriplegic with innervation of the biceps humeri, triceps humeri and deltoideus. The Krankcycle 30 min programme was followed by four other exercises, which were performed after themselves rather than in a circuit training manner as the latter would result in much longer rest periods between exercises, because paraplegics have to be fixed by straps during exercise on hydraulic machines. The RPE after the workout decreased following the twelve week adaptation period.

Abstract:

The term “Learning through Physical Activity” is used to describe learning processes in which whole-body movement is strongly linked to the learning content. Although this way of learning is generally accepted and its positive impact on the learning process is theoretically grounded, ideas for the practical application in mathematics education in Germany are largely missing, as is any corresponding scientific research. This paper aims to close this research gap. In order to do so, movement games, which support the development of “Grundvorstellungen” of multiplication, were developed and scientifically evaluated using a pre- and post-test design during a teaching unit in a mixed-age group.

Abstract:

Methamphetamine (METH) is a powerful psychostimulant. Chronic obsessive and compulsive usage of METH caused great harm to human health (physical and psychological) and social stability issues all over the world. Currently, no drugs have been used to treat and prevent METH addiction. Our previous studies demonstrated that Chinese medicine compound (JDYH) can inhibit METH-induced sensitization in mice. To investigate the combined effects of JDYH on physical movement in C57BL/6 male mice. In the experiment, mice chronic treatment with JDYH (14.12-56.48 g/kg) for 28-30 days, physical movement activity and body weight was measured. The body weight and physical movement have no change after being treated with low-dose (14.12 g/kg) and mid-dose (28.24 g/kg) of chronic treatment with JDYH. These results suggest that JDYH (14.12-28.24 g/kg) for 21days were not inhibit physical movement in mice.

Abstract:

Background:Despite the plethora of research examining the physical activity-adiposity relation in youth, questions remain regarding the ideal intensity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the independent effects of physical activity intensity and incidental movement on total and trunk adiposity.Methods:The sample consisted of 1165 youth aged 8 to 17 years from the 2003−04 U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Physical activity (low, moderate, vigorous intensity) and incidental movement (activity level when not physically active) were measured using Actigraph accelerometers over 7 days. Total body and trunk fat were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; age- and sex-specific percentile scores were calculated.Results:Bivariate analyses revealed an inverse relation between total, low, moderate and vigorous intensity physical activity with total body and trunk fat. After consideration of the total volume of physical activity in the multivariate analyses, moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity remained significantly related to total and trunk fat. Participants with the highest (top 12.5%) moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity values had total fat percentile scores that were 34 points lower than participants with the lowest (bottom 25%) values.Conclusion:These results are consistent with public health guidelines which recommend that children and youth participate in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction There is currently a strong scientific evidence about the negative health consequences of physical inactivity. One of the potential tools for promoting physical activity at the institutional level of the Ecological model is to create conditions and settings that would enable pupils, students and employees engage in some form of physical activity. However, physical activities as a subject are being eliminated from the study programs at Slovak universities. The purpose of the study was to find current evidence about the level of structured physical activity and health-related variables in university students in Košice. Material and methods The sample consisted of 1,993 or, more precisely, 1,398 students who attended two universities in Košice. To collect data, students completed a questionnaire and were tested for body height, body weight, circumferential measures and percentage body fat. Results The university students did not sufficiently engage in a structured physical activity. A large number of students had either low or high values of percentage body fat and BMI and high WHR values. Conclusions Our findings have shown that the research into physical activity of university students should receive more attention.
