Research on relationships between physical fitness and sleep duration among older adults is scarce, especially in Taiwanese representative samples of elderly people who undergo measurements. This study aimed to determine the associations short long durations Taiwan. We conducted a cross-sectional reviewed data derived from National Physical Fitness Survey A total 24,125 aged 65 years participated this October 2014 March 2015. Each individual’s was recorded with standard questionnaire method....

Background: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) features short, repeated bursts of relatively vigorous exercise with intermittent periods rest or low-intensity exercise. power (HIPT), in combination HIIT and traditional resistance (TRT), is characterized as multijoint high-intensity exercises low interset periods. HIPT requires people to finish the fast possible, which increases acute physiological demands. The aim study was investigate differences between eight-week TRT on performance....

Abstract In this study, Kinesio tape (KT) was applied in two different directions to the gastrocnemius muscle, most important muscle stance stability, investigate effect of taping on overall balance and sensation systems before versus after fatigue. The participants, comprising 45 healthy athletes, were randomly divided into three groups: placebo group (PTG), facilitation KT (FKTG), inhibition (IKTG). tests involved study a test, superficial sensory function combined cortical test. data from...

The purpose of the present study was to determine association between health-related physical fitness (HRPF) performance and perceived happiness status among adults in Taiwan. A cross-sectional conducted, data derived from National Physical Fitness Survey Taiwan 2014-2015 were reviewed. participants included 27,930 men 30,885 women, aged 23 64 years. Each participant completed a standardized, structured questionnaire underwent anthropometric variable HRPF measurements. outcome an individual...

The aim of this study is to investigate the glycemic profile, oxidative stress, and antioxidant capacity in athletes after 12 weeks ubiquinone supplementation. It was a double-blinded, randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled study. Thirty-one well-trained college were randomly assigned (300 mg/d, n = 17) or placebo group (n 14). profile [fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), quantitative insulin sensitivity check index...

Abstract Background: Athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI) often develop complications such as pain, instability, and reduced postural control balance stability, all of which affect athletic performance. This study investigated the effects a 4° medal wedge intervention on static dynamic in athletes CAI. Methods: The participants were 24 healthy 25 CAI athletes. Participants received medial applied at rear foot insole completed experiment measurements before after intervention. main...

The purpose of the retrospective case-control study was to identify causes and risk factors for unplanned return operating room (uROR) within 24 hours in surgical patients.We examined 275 cases 24-hour uROR our hospital from January 2010 December 2018. reasons were classified into several categories. Controls randomly matched a 1:1 ratio with selection criteria set same surgeon operation code corresponding year.The mortality rate significantly higher patients (11.63% vs 5.23%). Bleeding most...

Abstract Background Current principles of postoperative pain management are primarily based on the types and extent surgical intervention. This clinical study measured patient’s self-anticipated score before surgery, compared anticipated scores with actual levels analgesic requirements after surgery. Methods prospective observational recruited consecutive patients who received elective surgery in E-Da Hospital, Taiwan from June to August 2018. Patients were asked subjectively rate their...

A previous study provided reference data on the age and gender distribution of anthropometric parameters in Taiwanese adults. However, there are very few large-scale analyses older adults Taiwan. Therefore, main purpose this was to describe gender- age-specific distributions measurements anthropometry assessments This a cross-sectional conducted 22,389 aged 65 years or (8017 males 14,372 females) who participated Taiwan's National Physical Fitness Survey 2014-2015. All participants were...

Respiratory muscle fatigue is one of the important factors limiting sports performance due to metaboreflex. This reflex will cause a decrease in blood flow extremities and accelerate exercising limb fatigue. Systematic review literature found that respiratory training can effectively enhance endurance reduce during exercise, thereby enhancing athletic performance. Previous studies focused on type exercise. However, its effect high intensity intermittent exercise such as basketball still...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect an 8-week suspension exercise training program on lumbar coordination, balance, and baseball-specific performance (distance throw, 60-m sprint, bat swing speed) high school baseball players. Methods: Twenty-one players participated in were randomly divided into 2 groups: a control group group. intervened which consisted 8 movements upper extremities 6 lower extremities, conducted once per week for weeks during off-season....

Taekwondo (TKD) athletes have high-intensity intermittent challenges in a match which is typically structured across three 2-min rounds with 1-min interval separating each round. After such kind of efforts, we observed that the breathed heavily and they also complained about shortness breath interfered their performance during match. Respiratory muscle fatigue occurs endurance type exercise, has been shown to effect sports performance. However, whether TKD experience respiratory muscles...

PURPOSE: This study examined lower extremity muscle activities before and after six-minute treadmill walking at highest speeds in individuals with flatfoot. METHODS: Eight flatfoot (4 women, 4 men, age= 24.8±2.4 years) no other history of injury six months neurological disease, participated this study. Subjects were first screened using subtalar static navicular drop tests. Surface electromyography (BIOPAC system, USA) the abductor hallucis (AbdH), tibia anterior, gastrocnemius, peroneus...
