The objective of this study is to examine the sensitivity and changes in heart rate variability (HRV) stressful situations before judo competitions observe differences among athletes according their competitive standards both official unofficial competitions. 24 (10 male 14 female) national- international-standard were evaluated. Each participant answered Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2R) HRV was recorded during an competition. MANOVA showed significant main effects...
The main objective of this study was to examine the effect different judo training loads on heart rate variability (HRV) measurements, determine if they can be used as valid indicators in monitoring stress and recovery athletes. Fourteen male national-standard athletes were randomly divided into 2 groups, each group followed a type training, namely, high load (HTL) moderate program (MTL). Data collection included HRV Recovery Stress Questionnaire for (RESTQ-SPORT), strength 4 weeks before...
The relationship among physical activity, fitness and academic achievement in adolescents has been widely studied; however, controversy concerning this topic persists. methods used thus far to analyse the between these variables have included mostly traditional lineal analysis according available literature. aim of study was perform a visual with self-organizing maps monitor subject's evolution during 4 years secondary school. Four hundred forty-four students participated study. activity...
Background: Explosive strength is essential for rhythmic gymnasts’ performance. It has been suggested that core stability (CS) and plyometric training can enhance athletes’ explosive strength. Nevertheless, there some uncertainty about the effects of integrated (CPT) programs on gymnastics (RG) performances. Purpose: to evaluate an functional CPT program young jump/leap Method: We recruited 44 (age = 10.5 ± 1.8 years old; peak height velocity, PHV 12.2 0.6 old) female gymnasts randomly...
Context The emergence of COVID-19 caused a new public health crisis, leading to major changes in daily life routines, often including physical activity (PA) levels. main goal this study was analyze the differences self-reported people with complete spinal cord injuries between time prior lockdown and period itself.Methods A sample 20 participants thoracic completed Physical Activity Scale for Individuals Disabilities before during lockdown.Results results showed pre-lockdown measurements...
The public health lockdown prompted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which included school closures that may have potentially serious consequences for people with disabilities or special educational needs, disrupted an ongoing adapted judo training intervention in children Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). purpose of this study was to compare repetitive behaviours, social interaction, communication, emotional responses, cognitive style and maladaptive speech scores across four...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress suffered by medical residents as result being on call for 24 hours, from a multidimensional approach. Two groups selected according their work shift, participated in study: one group (n = 40) sleep-deprived after having been actively on-call and another contrast 18) had performed normal day were not sleep-deprived. All participants completed pre-post measures during h cycle. These administered both occasions at 8 am. included HRV, cortisol,...
The aim of this study is to analyze the mediating role vision in relationship between conscious lower limb proprioception (dominant knee) and bipedal postural control (with eyes open closed) older adults, as compared with teenagers, younger adults middle-aged adults. sample consisted 119 healthy, physically active participants. Postural was assessed using Romberg test participants' closed on a force platform. Proprioception measured through ability reposition knee at 45°, Goniometer Pro...
Recent studies have investigated the ergogenic effects of different types mouthguards. There is evidence benefits clenching customized mouthpieces on force and power development. The phenomenon called concurrent activation potentiation (CAP) promoted in jaw seems to enhance muscular strength maximal isometric contractions powerful actions sport. Moreover, a bite-aligning mouthpiece may promote more aligned clench. objective present study was investigate while wearing (MP) jump ability tests...
Practitioners of strength and conditioning are increasingly using vibration unstable environments to enhance training effects. However, little evidence has been found comparing the use suspension devices vibratory platforms used in Bulgarian squat. The purpose this cross-sectional study was examine effect (TRX®), surfaces (BOSU®), plates on muscle activity force during Twenty physically active male students (age = 24.40 ± 3.63 years) performed a set five repetitions squats, suspended lunges,...
The main aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between amount physical activity and academic performance in 3rd-year secondary education students. sample taken from three schools area Barcelona. 284 students (158 girls, 126 boys) with an average age 14.7 yr. participated. International Physical Activity Questionnaire used by self-report their activity. Students' records were obtained for comparisons. Results showed that there a linear activity; nevertheless, trend stronger...
It is suggested that core stability (CS) might improve rhythmic gymnasts’ performance. Nevertheless, the effect of training (CST) in CS performance not clear. Purpose: Evaluating an eight-week functional CST on young rhythmics Method: A sample 45 female gymnasts from a competitive team (age = 10.5 ± 1.8 years, height 144.1 10.6 cm, weight 38.2 8.9 kg, peak velocity (PHV) 12.2 0.6 years) participated study. The participants were randomly allocated into control group (CG) and experimental (EG)...
Balance, reaction time, and strength are key factors affecting judo performance. Although ample research has been done examining potential changes caused by weight loss prior to competition, in balance time have overlooked.To examine the effects of rapid progressive (RWL PWL) on balance, a group elite athletes.A total 38 female male athletes (age = 20.6 [2.6] y) completed reaction-time, assessments 1 wk an official weigh-in (pretest) immediately after (posttest). The were divided into 3...
Basketball players commonly use mouthguards for protecting their mouths from collisions with other players. Besides, literature reports that specific types of may become an ergogenic device facilitates a powerful jaw clenching, and subsequent concurrent activation potentiation through this remote voluntary contraction the mandible muscles.A randomized within-subjects design was used to study effects mechanism on muscular performance (vertical jump, agility, bench press power leg power) into...
Physical fitness is one of the most important physical and mental health aspects for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study aimed to test effects a long-term adapted judo program on health-related ASD. The participants were recruited from various associations families schools special needs. Twenty-one assigned an experimental group nineteen control group. participated in six-month consisting 90 min practice each week. Health-related was measured using indicators obtained...
