The concurrent validity of the OMNI-Resistance Exercise Scale (OMNI-RES) perceived exertion for use with elastic bands was studied during isotonic resistance exercises. Twenty healthy, physically active subjects completed both familiarization and testing sessions. criterion variables were myoelectric activity, recorded by electromyography, heart rate, a rate monitor. performed 2 separate sets 15 repetitions in each sessions exercises applied (i.e., frontal lateral raises). One set carried...

The aim of this study was to assess effects a short-term resistance program on strength in fit young women using weight machines/free weights or elastic tubing. 42 physically (21.79±0.7 years) were randomly assigned the following groups: (i) Thera-Band® Exercise Station Group (TBG); (ii) group (MFWG); (iii) control (CG). Each experimental performed same periodised training that lasted for 8 weeks, with 2–4 sessions per week and 3–4 sets 8–15 submaximal reps. A load cell (Isocontrol;...

Screen media usage, sleep time and socio-demographic features are related to adolescents' academic performance, but interrelations little explored. This paper describes these behavioral profiles clustered in low high performance. A nationally representative sample of 3,095 Spanish adolescents, aged 12 18, was surveyed on 15 variables linked the purpose study. Self-Organizing Maps analysis established non-linear interrelationships among identified behavior patterns subsequent cluster...

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...

Effects of Aquatic and Dry Land Resistance Training Devices on Body Composition Physical Capacity in Postmenopausal Women To determine the effects a supervised strength training program body composition physical capacity older women using three different devices: weight machines, elastic bands, aquatic devices that increase drag forces (ADIDF). Four groups were formed: control group, machine group (WMG), band (EBG) used ADIDF (ADIDFG). assessed before after intervention period. The ADIDFG...

Although the built environment and certain psychosocial factors are related to adolescents' active commuting from school (ACS), their interrelationships have not been explored in depth. This study describes these behavioral profiles via a self-organizing map (SOM) analysis. The sample comprised 465 adolescents IPEN (International Physical Activity Environment Network) Adolescent Valencia, Spain. ACS, barriers physical self-efficacy, social support sociodemographics were measured by...

Abstract Background Literature focusing on youth has reported limited evidence and non-conclusive associations between neighborhood walkability measures active commuting to from school (ACS). Moreover, there is a lack of studies evaluating both macro- micro-scale environmental factors the when ACS analyzed. Likewise, most built environment attributes focus urban areas, whereas analyzing rural residential locations. relationship may differ in children adolescents. Hence, this study aimed...

Mountain protected areas play a fundamental role in the conservation of natural environment and at same time provide population with social benefits such as offering space for leisure recreation. Understanding motivations behavior area visitors is crucial to effectively manage vulnerable areas. Our objective was identify profiles heavily used tourist destination—Kasprowy Wierch within Tatra National Park (Poland), using self-organizing maps (SOM) analytical method. In order explore...

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 objective of this study was to identify distinct student profiles based on physical, psychological, and social characteristics, examine their impact cognitive performance. A total 194 children participated in cross-sectional design (mean age = 10.61 years, SD 0.45; 48.96% girls). included participants from diverse racial backgrounds. Using Self-Organizing Maps, an unsupervised neural network clustering technique, six were identified. These revealed significant effects daily physical...

Built environment attributes can facilitate or represent barriers to active commuting and from school (ACS). Even though parental perceptions of the built their influence on ACS in children have been extensively studied, there is very limited evidence as whether these vary based sex children. Hence, present study aimed analyse relationships between neighbourhood ACS, differentiating boys girls. This cross-sectional was conducted Valencia, Spain. The sample comprised 808 one parents....

The current study was designed to quantify and compare the kinetic parameters of two-leg squat jumps carried out on dry land, in water using area devices that increase drag force. Twelve junior female handball players who had been competing at national level for previous two years volunteered participate study. Intensity jump examined a force plate (9 253-B11, Kistler Instrument AG, Winterthur, Switzerland) three different conditions: devices. An ANOVA with repeated measurements (condition)...

An frequency appearance and dynamics Author Keywords (AKs) been made thirty...

Longitudinal designs enhance our understanding of children's development and its influence on movement behaviors health. This three‐year follow‐up study aimed to develop profiles according perceived actual motor competence (MC) (locomotion, object control, overall) physical fitness in boys girls longitudinally including temporal migrations among clusters terms profiling trends. A secondary aim was compare activity participation weight status at each time point these profiles. One hundred...

The kinetic and myoelectric differences between 3 types of plyometric push-ups were investigated. Twenty-seven healthy, physically active men served as subjects completed both familiarization testing sessions. During these sessions, performed 2 series push-up variations in a counterbalanced order according to the following techniques: Countermovement (CPUs) with maximum speed movement; jump (JPUs) similar clapping push-ups; fall (FPUs) required kneeling drop then attempt return their initial...
