Acute responses to a potentiation warm-up protocol on sprint and change of direction in female football players: a randomized controlled study.

To evaluate the acute effect of exposure to a potentiation warm-up protocol compared to a usual warm-up program. Randomized parallel control trial. Synthetic grass in the club's facilities (Portugal). Seventeen female football players (age: 23.9 ± 3.9 years), were randomly allocated to a control (n = 8) and an experimental group (n = 9). To allocate the players, a table was computer-generated by a research team member with no involvement in the trial. The control group performed their usual warm-up program, while the experimental group performed a potentiation warm-up protocol with jumps combined with sprints with change of direction. The players were tested pre- and post-intervention for a 40-m linear sprint and pre-planned change of direction using the T-test. An intention-to-treat analysis was performed, with all the participants originally randomized being involved. The normal distribution was verified by the Shapiro-Wilk test. The assumption of sphericity was analyzed. Effect sizes were calculated using partial eta squared. No significant pre-post differences in the T-test and in the 40-m sprint were detected for any group. However, in the T-test, large effect sizes in time increments were observed within the experimental (0.27s; p > 0.05, ηp2 = 0.176) and control groups (0.06s; p > 0.05, ηp2 = 0.176). Also, in the 40-m sprint, large effect sizes in time increments were observed within the experimental (0.05s; p > 0.05, ηp2 = 0.251) and control groups (0.09s; p > 0.05, ηp2 = 0.251). The performance-enhancing ability of the potentiation method performed at warm-up was not verified when applied to female football players. Thus, the potentiation methods may not improve sprint and COD ability for this population. However, the lack of statistical significance may have been due to reduced statistical power, as three of four effects suggest acute performance impairment after a supposed potentiation-oriented warm-up. Nevertheless, the presence of a statistical type 2 error cannot be ruled out. NCT06555185; Project URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06555185 .

Effects of multiple cold-water immersion during pre-season on recovery performance in under-20 male soccer players: A randomized controlled trial

IntroductionThis study was designed to evaluate the effects of multiple cold-water immersions performed daily during the preseason period on biochemical, clinical, and neuromuscular aspects of muscle damage of soccer players. MethodsThis two-arm, prospectively registered, randomized controlled trial, blinded to statistician and assessors, was conducted at professional football club facilities. Twenty-three under-20 semi-professionals male soccer players were randomly allocated into cold water immersion group (bathtub with water and ice at 10 °C ± 1 °C for 10 min) or control group (rest for 10 min), every day, after training sessions during a preseason. Primary outcome was change in creatine kinase (CK) concentration, and secondary outcomes were changes in vertical jump performance, strength and perception of recovery at baseline (T0) and after protocol training (T1). ResultsAnalysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) showed a statistically significant time-group interactions for CK concentration, with an average reduction of 280.39 U/L (CI95% = −519.14, −41.64; d = 0.55) in the cold-water immersion compared to the control group. No differences between groups were observed in any other measures. ConclusionMultiple cold-water immersions at 10 °C for 10 min decreases CK concentration but does not change any clinical and neuromuscular markers of muscle damage in soccer players during a 9-day preseason.

Aqua polo: Preliminary feasibility and efficacy study of a programme of adapted, supervised water polo to reduce fatigue and improve women's psychological and social recovery after breast cancer treatment: A mixed-methods design

Physical activity has been shown to have many benefits, including reducing cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and improving psychological and physical recovery from breast cancer. Some authors have shown the benefits of aquatic practice, while others have detailed the benefits of group and supervised practice. We hypothesize that an innovative sports coaching proposal could allow a significant adherence of patients and contribute to their health improvement. The main objective is to study the feasibility of an adapted water polo programme (aqua polo) for women after breast cancer. Secondarily we will analyse the effect of such a practice on patients' recovery and study the relationship between coaches and participants. The use of mixed methods will allow us to question the underlying processes precisely. This is a prospective, non-randomized, monocentric study with a sample of 24 breast cancer patients after treatment. The intervention is a 20 week programme (1 session per week) of aqua polo in a swim club facility, supervised by professional water-polo coaches. The variables measured are patient participation, quality of life (QLQ BR23), CRF (R–PFS) and post-traumatic growth (PTG-I) as well as different variables to observe physical capacity (strength with dynamometer, step-test and arm amplitude). The quality of the coach-patient relationship will be evaluated (CART-Q) to explore its dynamics. Participatory observations and interviews will be carried out to report on the interactions between the coach and the participants during the sessions. Registration number and name of trial registryNo. EudraCT or ID-RCB: 2019-A03003-54 and NCT: NCT04235946

PENGARUH KELENGKAPAN SARANA PRASARANA BULUTANGKIS DALAM MOTIVASI UNTUK BERPRESTASI PADA ATLET PB. TUGU MUDA SEMARANG

Badminton is an achievement sport. Sports achievement is influenced by several factors, including endogenous factors (factors that exist within a person) and exogenous factors (environmental factors that affect a person). The background of this research is seen from the achievements that have been achieved by the PB club. Tugu Muda Semarang with several athletes managed to get achievements from the mabar championships between clubs and the Semarang regency/city level championships. This is influenced by one of the external factors, namely infrastructure. The purpose of this study was to determine the condition of PB's badminton infrastructure. Tugu Muda Semarang and the influence of the completeness of facilities and infrastructure on the motivation of athletes to excel. The research method used is a qualitative method. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that 1). The condition of the PB club's facilities and infrastructure. Tugu Muda Semarang is good and adequate for the implementation of coaching and training, 2). The infrastructure has an effect on the training program and the athlete's motivation to practice and excel. if the athlete is not equipped with infrastructure for training, the athlete can only fantasize and it is impossible to achieve an achievement, but if the badminton infrastructure is supported, the athletes will be enthusiastic about training and motivated to achieve an achievement.

Increasing the willingness to stay – a novel and comprehensive member satisfaction index (MSI) model tested in a leading German tennis club

PurposeThis study aims to address customer focus as an important component of total quality management (TQM) and explore the key drivers of member satisfaction in tennis clubs via a novel theory-based member satisfaction index (MSI) model with high explanatory and predictive power. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate the relationship between satisfaction and behavioral intentions (willingness to stay; WTS) with consideration of the mediating effect of identification with the club.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses variance-based partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to estimate the MSI model, which was tested in a leading tennis club in Germany (n = 185).FindingsThe results reveal that club atmosphere, club facilities and the price/quality ratio of the membership fee are the most important drivers of member satisfaction in tennis clubs. Member satisfaction has a large influence on the WTS of tennis club members. Identification with the club, when included as a mediator in the model, increases the variance explained in WTS considerably.Research limitations/implicationsThe small sample limits the generalizability of findings, and further research is recommended.Practical implicationsThe MSI model is a useful benchmark tool for club managers who want to quantify the satisfaction and WTS of their club members. In addition, because of the integrated formative measurement models, the PLS-SEM results show which indicators can be used to positively impact satisfaction with each of the service quality dimensions, overall member satisfaction and WTS. The most important of these results are discussed in an importance-performance map analysis.Originality/valueThe MSI model is a multi-attribute index model through which members' evaluations of various dimensions of service and value are derived through multivariable linear function with each dimension weighted according to its importance in one holistic model. The model shows the strong impact of satisfaction on WTS of sports club members and reveals that findings of previous research on the relationship between fan and spectator identification and loyalty are transferable to sports club members. The MSI represents a new contribution to the literature; it was applied here to tennis clubs but is also suitable for application to other sports clubs.

Evolution of functional and planning structure of club-type leisure institutions

Purpose: Analysis of the evolution of the functional and planning structure of leisure club institutions. An attempt to understand how the architecture of the club changed, its structure, and what influenced it. Мethodology/approach: Analysis of the experience of designing club facilities in various regions. A more detailed study concerns the Russian experience, but other regions are also being considered at different stages. The main method in the study is the analysis of graphic materials to assess the functional and planning structure. Research findings: Club-type leisure facilities are very popular. In terms of functional saturation and planning structure, their architecture is diverse. It can be influenced by the design, specific tasks, focus on a certain social group, and historical stage. Identification of the specifics of club facilities in different time periods provides the better understanding of the club architecture as an important leisure object of the past and present. Identified are the functional planning structures for different periods as well as the reasons of their evolution. The diagrams are suggested for the development of the club architecture, functional changes, dominance and interaction of its individual parts. Practical implications: The development of the club architecture and identification of factors influencing it determine the architecture at the present stage and demonstrate the importance of certain social and regional features. Originality/value: The identified stages clearly demonstrate changes in the functional and planning structure of the club, the original idea of leisure facilities and the evolution into modern clubs.

Preventive effect of tailored exercises on patellar tendinopathy in elite youth athletes: A cohort study

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of an intervention with tailored exercises on the incidence of patellar tendinopathy (PT) in elite youth jumping athletes. DesignProspective crossover cohort. SettingOne sport club facility. Participants271 elite youth basketball and volleyball player were followed in the first year of the study (Observation year) and 270 athletes were followed in the second year (intervention year). Main outcome measureIncidence rates of PT per 1,000h of exposure. Cox survival analysis was used to verify the effects of the intervention (exercises implemented according to the findings of a preseason assessment) on PT incidence. ResultsThe exercise prevention program significantly reduced the number of cases of PT, with athletes submitted to the intervention showing 51% less risk of developing PT. The overall PT incidence in the Observation year (5.9 per 1,000h of exposure) was significantly higher than that in the intervention year (2.8 per 1,000h of exposure) (P = .037). Twenty-six athletes developed PT in the observation year, whereas 13 athletes developed PT in the intervention year. ConclusionsA tailored preventive program may be able to reduce the incidence of patellar tendinopathy, especially in male youth volleyball athletes. Randomized controlled trials are encouraged to confirm these findings.

Assessment of COVID-19 precautionary measures in sports facilities: A case study on a health club in Saudi Arabia

Health club facilities represent a physical space for an industry that is centric to human health and fitness, serving various societal dimensions such as cultural, economic, and social aspects on the individual and the national levels. This research conducts an indicative post occupancy evaluation (POE), for assessing the provision of post-pandemic precautionary measures and management strategies, in health club facilities. The research activities comprised a review of literature, a walkthrough for assessing a case study health club facility, where precautionary measures were investigated to ascertain its preparedness. Observations of trainers and administrative staff were collected, to derive recommendations that ensure sustainable operation in response to the challenges set by COVID-19 on continuity of health club facilities. The research concludes with remarks to propose recommendations and future research directions. The research initiates a topic that is overlooked in the literature of sports management domain. This research serves to raise awareness among designers and managers of health club facilities on the precautionary measures of protecting health club facilities against safety and health risks of COVID-19, from different regional perspectives. This is by tackling an identified contextual gap on health club facilities in the relevant literature.

Integrating Mathematics, Science, and Literacy into a Culturally Responsive STEM After-School Program

This manuscript shares the implementation of an after-school literacy in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) program designed for middle grade students to increase their interest in science and mathematics learning. This program was conducted at our local Boys and Girls Club facilities where students learned about four science topics (renewable energy, water cycle, Newton’s laws, and natural disasters). Students participated in culturally responsive reading and writing activities incorporating culturally relevant books, journal writing, hands-on projects, and a culminating science fair presentation on a topic of their choice. The authors determined that using literature, particularly culturally responsive picture books and graphic novels, to bridge the students’ understanding of scientific and mathematical concepts was an important component of this program. The students’ reactions to the program reflect the importance of offering a variety of avenues for students to represent their understanding and corroborates the significance of after-school programs to provide opportunities for diverse student populations to participate in culturally responsive programs to promote literacy and interest in the STEM disciplines.

Environmental surface contamination with SARS-CoV-2 in professional football clubs

ABSTRACT Background: We assessed SARS-CoV-2 contamination of random surfaces in football training facilities in an environment with a high prevalence of infections. Methods: In six clubs of the Qatar Stars League, surfaces of random locations (high-touch areas, ventilation systems, toilets, cleaning tools, freezers, pantries) in routinely cleaned training facilities, locker rooms, medical and administrative areas were swabbed for SARS-CoV-2. The swabs were screened for the presence of viral RNA using a SARS-CoV-2 qPCR Probe Assay. Results: None of the 103 swabs reached a cycle threshold (cT) value ≤30 (strong viral presence, suggestive of potential surface transmission). Four samples showed cT values >30 and <35 (low quantity of virus) and 16 swabs returned a cT value ≥35 and <40 (inactive virus remnants). The remaining 83 samples were negative (cT value ≥40). Most samples with viral or viral remnant presence originated from high-touch areas. Conclusion: We did not find evidence for potential surface transmission in football club facilities when routine cleaning procedures are in place despite the presence of infected subjects.

Strategy-proof club formation with indivisible club facilities

We investigate the strategy-proof provision and financing of indivisible club good facilities when individuals are subject to congestion costs that are non-decreasing in the number of other club members and in a private type parameter. An allocation rule specifies how the individuals are to be partitioned into clubs and how the costs of the facilities are to be shared by club members as a function of the types. We show that some combinations of our axioms are incompatible when congestion costs are continuous and strictly increasing in the type parameter, but that all of them are compatible if congestion costs are dichotomous and there is equal cost sharing. We present a number of examples of allocation rules with equal cost sharing and determine which of our axioms they satisfy when the congestion cost is linear in the type parameter. We also show that using iterative voting on ascending size to determine a club partition is not, in general, strategy-proof when each facility’s cost is shared equally.

ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ АРХИТЕКТУРЫ СТОЛИЧНЫХ КЛУБОВ АНГЛИИ И РОССИИ НА РУБЕЖЕ XVII-XIX ВВ.

The article deals with the problem of organizing the environment of human cultural activity in the 18th century and the search for its solution by architects. The aim is to identify the features (functional, structural and other) of previously existing architectural objects (clubs) of the 18th-19th centuries. A comparative analysis of a number of the buildings (clubs) under study is carried out on the example of two large countries of the world, England and Russia. The buildings and premises adapted for clubs, which originally appeared in London, and later in St. Petersburg, are described. The article considers one of the first club facilities in St. Petersburg, the "English Club", which was formed by the "English Assembly" taking into account the historical roots of London clubs. On the basis of field studies and the study of preserved historical graphic materials, the characteristic stages of development and the peculiarities of the emergence of a new type of public club buildings for that time are revealed. Using a comparative and typological method, the authors describe the planning and functional features of the development of club architecture in "adapted clubs", which influenced the formation of their own type of building. The criteria for choosing a building adapted for a club are defined. These include: the presence of a spacious hall, a courtyard, an acceptable rental price, the presence of a large dining room, the importance of territorial location. With the help of the analysis, the principles of designing a club as its own type of building are formed.

Post-match recovery of eccentric knee flexor strength in male professional football players

ObjectivesThis study aimed at verifying the effect of a football match on the eccentric knee flexor strength of male professional players along a 72-h period. Study designQuasi-experimental study. SettingFootball club facilities. ParticipantsFifteen players were assessed in four timepoints: 24 h before, immediately after, 48 h and 72 h after the match. Main outcome measuresThe eccentric knee flexor strength was assessed during the Nordic hamstring exercise execution. ResultsPlayers presented a significant strength reduction immediately after match (Δ = 12%; p = 0.001; large effect size, d = 1.10), and did not recover their strength capacity within a 48 h-period (Δ = 6%; p = 0.011; moderate effect size, d = 0.57). At 72 h after the match, strength was similar to baseline levels (Δ = 3.5%; p = 0.122; small effect size, d = 0.34). Secondarily, individual response analysis considered a player ‘fully recovered’ when his strength deficit compared to the baseline measure was lower than the measurement coefficient of variation (i.e., <5%). Only 6 (40%) and 9 (60%) players were ‘fully recovered’ at 48 h and 72 h after the match, respectively. ConclusionProfessional football players experienced an immediately post-match drop on the eccentric knee flexor strength, and significant strength deficits persisted for a 48-h period. Some players were not recovered at 72 h after the match.

‘Flannelled Fools are Strutting About Tennis Courts’: Lawn Tennis in Britain During the Great War

This article examines the connections between (lawn) tennis in Britain and the Great War (1914–1918). While previous historical research has suggested a four-year hiatus, in fact the sport continued to be played during the war, recreationally and among servicemen/women and more elite players in exhibition matches. Anecdotes about the cessation of tournaments and restricted play were interspersed with debates about the appropriateness of continuing play recreationally, as the ‘gentleman in tennis flannels’ became a symbol of public censure. Alongside enlistment, tennis players responded to the call byoffering their club facilities to the war effort, digging up courts to plant vegetables, hosting charity matches, and providing entertainment for convalescent soldiers. This analysis highlights the significance of tennis as a vehicle to promote a kind of British identity, as responses to the war as seen through tennis reflected broader sporting ideals, privileging amateurism, fair play and the ‘stuff upper lip’.

Social impact of a corporate social responsibility initiative

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the social impact of an initiative (Hockey FIT) aimed at improving the health and well-being of sport fans and their community.Design/methodology/approachFans (n=80) participated in 12 weekly health promotion sessions hosted in local hockey club facilities. Objective health measurements, diet and physical activity levels of fans were measured at baseline, 12 weeks and 12 months, to determine the intermediate, long-term, individual and community impact. Furthermore, one-on-one interviews with 28 program participants were conducted to further understand the program’s social impact.FindingsThe intermediate impact was noticed as improvements in weight loss, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure (BP), steps per day, healthful eating, self-reported overall health and fatty food scores at 12 weeks. The long-term individual impact of Hockey FIT was realized as participants maintained or continued to improve their weight loss, waist circumference, healthful eating, systolic BP and diastolic BP 12 months after the program had been offered. The program was also reported to increase family bonding time and improved the diet, daily physical activity, and general awareness of health promotion programs and components for friends, family members and coworkers.Originality/valueThe positive health-related results from this study contradict prior research that has suggested there is minimal evidence of any substantial contributions from social programs in sport. Through a collective approach to corporate social responsibility, this research demonstrates the ability for sport organizations to contribute to meaningful social change and the positive role that they play within the community.

Influence of Club Facilities and Equipment on Talent Identification for Players in Rugby Clubs in Kenya

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of club facilities and equipment on talent identification for players in rugby clubs in Kenya. The club facilities and equipment included rugby pitch, gymnasium, scrum machine, tackle bags, tackle suits, hit shields, balls and marker cones. Data were collected using Questionnaires and interviews from rugby players (n= 125) and coaches (n=15) during the 2017/2018 Kenya Rugby Union league competition. Data were analyzed through both descriptive and inferential statistics of Chi- square test of independent measures. A null hypothesis stating that there is no significant difference in the mean rugby talent identification index when the influence of the rugby players’ club facilities and equipment is classified as high or low was tested. Despite the coaches view that availability of facilities and equipment has an influence on the talent identification process, the findings indicate that there is no evidence that rugby club facilities and equipment plays a significant role in talent identification for rugby players in rugby clubs in Kenya. The study however recommends that the rugby clubs should invest in good facilities and equipment as this would go a long way in ensuring player safety and minimizing the risk of injury during the talent identification process. Other studies involving the rest of the socio-cultural attributes that are likely to impact on talent identification like family, coaches, schools, peers, need to be conducted.

Recruiting Older Men to Walking Football: A Pilot Feasibility Study

Walking football (soccer) has recently emerged as a physical activity option targeted at older males to enhance health and wellbeing. This pilot study aimed to examine the feasibility of recruiting and retaining males aged 50 years and over to an 8-week walking football programme in a professional football club. Participants were recruited via social media and assigned to an intervention group or a wait-list control group. The intervention group engaged in 1h of walking football a week led by a community coach from the professional football club, followed by an optional social session in the club facility. Physiological and psychological outcome measures were obtained onsite at the football club facility (aiding compliance and retention) at baseline and following 8-weeks, from both groups. Semi-structured interviews were conducted after the 8-week programme and 1 year later, to explore motivations for engagement and the social impact. The opportunity to engage in football and the link to a professional football club were key attractions. All participants recruited were overweight, sedentary, exhibited blood pressures outside normal ranges, and all but two were hypertensive. Adherence to the programme was 90% over 8 weeks, and of the participants who were contacted after one year, all (n = 6) had maintained engagement in walking football. Walking football is therefore a feasible, cost-effective method of recruiting and retaining males aged 50 years and over to a physical activity programme, though attrition is to be expected.

Dynamics of the library system in Tambov region (1930s - early 1940s)

Significant changes in the library network development of Tambov region have occurred as a result of reforming the administrative-territorial division. The counties and townships abolition has led to a change of the libraries typology. The Central Provincial Library was first transformed into the Central District Library (before 1934), then - into the Central Municipal one (until 1937), and, finally, to the Regional one (in 1937). A specific feature of the period under review was opening a central library in each district (with a network of mobile libraries), as well as the organizing stationary libraries at enterprises and large state- and collective-farms. Urban population was mostly served by a network of trade union libraries, rural inhabitants - by a library network of the People's Commissariat of Education. In 1940 the number of public libraries in Tambov region reached 552, including 453 ones in the countryside. The network of public (mass) libraries included the following libraries: state district ones - 42, state municipal ones - 4, state rural ones - 102, state children ones - 7, village state public library and reading rooms - 158, public libraries at the regional culture houses and other club facilities - 12, collective-farm ones - 56, trade union ones - 131, public libraries of other agencies and organizations - 27. Strengthening ideological pressure on library services resulted in the tightening of censorship, mass withdrawal of the ideologically harmful literature. Collections of seized books marked «do not give masses» were created in the libraries as special funds. New editions entered the region in a limited number. In general, in the 1930s the book composition in the library stocks of Tambov region is characterized by the following data by branches of knowledge: anti-religious literature was 2,2%, social studies - 19,5%, natural science - 4,6%, applied sciences - 6,2%, agriculture - 5,1%, history and geography - 6,5%, fiction - 28,7%, others - 27,2%. The total library fund had not enough fiction and books on natural history, book sections on technology and agriculture needed accession. By the beginning of 1941 the amount of the public libraries fund in Tambov region was totaled 843,948 copies. To improve significantly the level of library service the nation-wide measures have been taken, among them were the following: Library Campaign, All-Union Library Census, All-Union competition for the best area on performing the librarianship in the countryside. They were aimed at drawing public attention to the serious problems existed in the librarianship. However, the Library Campaign was not properly developed in Tambov region. Scanty funding, general unpreparedness, inadequate qualifications of librarians and other factors affected negatively to achieve this goal.

The Relationship between Physically Disability Persons Participation in Exercise, Heart Rate Variance, and Facial Expression Recognition

본 연구는 지체장애인들의 운동참여와 심박변이도(HRV), 표정정서인식력의 인과관계를 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 목적표집법(purposive sampling)을 이용하여, 장애인 볼링 및 론볼 대회에 참여한 참가자와 충남지역의 생활체육 운동 프로그램에 참여하는 지체장애인 139명을 대상으로 하였다. 경기장과 클럽활동 시설에 직접 방문하여 연구목적을 구체적으로 설명을 한 후, 연구 참여에 동의한 대상자에 한해 운동량, 심박변이도(HRV), 표정정서인식력을 측정하였다. 측정된 결과는 SPSS 18.0, Amos 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 평균 및 표준편차, 상관분석, 구조방정식모형을 분석되었고, 그 결과, 지체장애인들의 운동량은 자율신경계의 교감활성도와 부교감 활성도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 지체장애인들의 운동경력은 LF/HF에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 부교감 활성도에는 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 지체장애인의 교감활성도는 기쁨 정서인식력에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 운동량은 슬픔 정서인식력에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과가 지체장애인의 자율신경계와 표정정서인식력에 어떻게 관련성이 있는지 그 메카니즘에 대해 논의되었다.The This study aims to verify the causal relationship among physically disability persons participation in exercise, heart rate variance, and facial expression recognition. To achieve such research goal, this study targeted 139 physically disability persons and as for sampling, purposive sampling method was applied. After visiting a sporting stadium and club facilities that sporting events were held and explaining the purpose of the research in detail, only with those who agreed to participate in the research, their heart rate variance and facial emotion awareness were measured. With the results of measurement, mean value, standard deviation, correlation analysis, and structural equating model were analyzed, and the results are as follows. The quantity of exercise positively affected sympathetic activity and parasympathetic activity of autonomic nervous system. Exercise history of physically disability persons was found to have a positive influence on LF/HF, and it had a negative influence on parasympathetic activity. Sympathetic activity of physically disability persons turned out to have a positive effect on the recognition of the emotion, happiness, while the quantity of exercise had a negative influence on the recognition of the emotion, sadness. These findings were discussed and how those mechanisms that are relevant to the autonomic nervous system, facial expression recognition of physical disability persons.
