The research base for rock climbing has expanded substantially in the past three decades as worldwide interest sport grown. An important trigger increasing attention been transition of to a competitive well recreational activity and potential inclusion Olympic schedule. International Rock Climbing Research Association (IRCRA) was formed 2011 bring together climbers, coaches researchers share knowledge promote collaboration. This position statement developed during after 2nd IRCRA Congress...
As a high-intensity intermittent sport with short and repeated rapid accelerations, decelerations changes of direction, badminton involves high joint muscle loads. This review aims to identify relevant injury risk characteristics factors that facilitate developing implementing badminton-specific prevention programmes. systematic injuries assessed the bias, incidence, mechanism, location, type, severity, factors.

The present study evaluated the effects of a newly developed injury prevention programme for children’s football (“FIFA 11+ Kids”) on motor performance in 7–12-year-old children. We stratified 12 teams (under-9/-11/-13 age categories) into intervention (INT, N = 56 players) and control groups (CON, 67). INT conducted 15-min warm-up “FIFA Kids” twice week 10 weeks. CON followed standard (sham treatment). Pre- post-tests were using: single leg stance; Y-balance test; drop countermovement jump;...
Gait analysis serves as an important tool for clinicians and other health professionals to assess gait patterns related functional limitations due neurological or orthopedic conditions. The purpose of this study was the validity a body-worn inertial sensor system (RehaGait®) measuring spatiotemporal characteristics compared stationary treadmill (Zebris) reliability both systems at different walking speeds slopes. performed during (habitual speed (normal speed); 15 % above normal speed; below...
We aimed to analyse the effects of combined strength and power training during competitive season on physical fitness in high-level amateur football players. Sixteen male players (22.5 (SD 2.5) years, 1.79 (0.05) m, 76.8 (6.1) kg) from one team were randomly assigned either a (ST, N = 8) or control (CON, group. ST conducted lower extremity resistance exercises with plyometrics and/or sprints 2 × 30 min per week for 7 weeks. CON performed technical-tactical same time period. Before after...
Abstract The present study examined the effects of Zumba training (group fitness based on salsa and aerobics) endurance, trunk strength, balance, flexibility, jumping performance quality life (QoL) in female college students. Thirty participants were randomly assigned (strata: age, BMI physical activity) to an intervention (INT, n = 15: age: 21.0 ± 2.3 years; BMI: 21.8 3.0 kg/m 2 ; activity (PA): 7.6 4.6 h/week) or control group (CON, 14: 2.8 2.1 PA: 7.3 3.6 h/week). Instructed was provided...
Aerobic exercise training is a promising complementary treatment option in migraine and can reduce days improve retinal microvascular function. Our aim was to elucidate whether different aerobic programs at high vs moderate intensities distinctly affect as primary outcome vessel parameters secondary. In this randomized controlled trial, were recorded by validated diary 45 migraineurs of which 36 (female: 28; age: ( SD :10)/ BMI : 23.1 (5.3) completed the period (dropout: 20%). Participants...
In football research, 'small' trials with low statistical power are common. On the elite level, inherently number of participants obviously conflicts relevance even tiny effects. However, general characteristics also contribute (e.g. multifactorially influenced and/or complex outcomes). Importantly, small sample sizes problematic regardless study outcome issues ranging from inconclusive results and precision to unrepeatable 'discoveries' overestimation effect sizes. Therefore, meeting...
To investigate whether physical fitness is decreased in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) comparison to matched healthy controls because low has been shown be associated metabolic syndrome or autonomic dysfunction. Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are known increased MDD. Furthermore, the effect of a single exhaustive exercise task on heart rate recovery (HRR) mood was examined.Peak oxygen consumption (VO(2)peak), maximum workload (P peak), individual anaerobic threshold...
Various measures of autonomic function have been developed, and their applicability significance during exercise are controversial.Physiological data were therefore obtained from 23 sport students before, during, after exercise. Measures R-R interval variability, QT variability index (QTvi), electrodermal activity (EDA) calculated. We applied an incremental protocol applying 70%, 85%, 100%, 110% the individual anaerobic threshold for standardized comparison.Although HR increased stepwise,...
