Evaluating the Impact of the Nirvana Fitness and Functional Training Programs on Young Women's State Body Appreciation and Its Correlates.

This study examined the effects of the Nirvana Fitness (NF) program on state body appreciation (BA) and its correlates, as well as the mechanisms that could explain these changes. The study participants were allocated to NF (n = 21) and functional training (control, n = 22) groups and participated in an 8-week exercise intervention. The mean age was 24.4 ± 6.7. The participants filled out online questionnaires on state measures of BA, body surveillance (BS), functionality appreciation, body-mind connection, mindfulness in physical activity (SMS-PA), intrinsic exercise motivation (IM), satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and perceived physical fitness (PPF) immediately after the first and last sessions. The results revealed a significant improvement in state BA and its correlates in both groups, with no changes in PPF in the NF group or IM in either group. An interaction between group and time effects was revealed in a change of relatedness, indicating a stronger effect in the NF group. Positive changes in SMS-PA, BS, and satisfaction of the need for relatedness significantly predicted improvement in state BA. These findings highlight the importance of targeting mindfulness, body surveillance, and relatedness during physical activity in interventions aimed at promoting positive body image in university-aged women.

Physical Fitness Test Data Analysis and Training Program Recommendation Based on Machine Learning

Physical fitness is the state of being physically healthy and capable of performing daily tasks with vigor and resilience. Physical fitness and machine learning intersect in various ways, primarily through the use of wearable devices, fitness apps, and data analysis. Wearable fitness trackers equipped with sensors, such as heart rate monitors, accelerometers, and GPS trackers, collect vast amounts of data on individuals' physical activity, sleep patterns, and vital signs. The paper presents an innovative approach to physical fitness assessment and training program recommendation using the Gradient Probabilistic Automated Recommender System with Machine Learning (GPA-RS-ML). This system utilizes machine learning techniques to assess fitness data from individuals and then suggests training programs that are customized to their specific goals and needs. By incorporating gradient values and probabilistic predictions, the GPA-RS-ML algorithm offers a comprehensive and individualized approach to fitness training, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of training interventions. The study demonstrates the efficacy of the GPA-RS-ML system in accurately predicting suitable training programs for participants, considering their unique fitness profiles and preferences. This research contributes to the advancement of automated fitness assessment and recommendation systems, providing a valuable tool for fitness professionals and enthusiasts to optimize fitness outcomes and improve adherence to training regimens.

Impact of a 12-wk physical conditioning program on the aerobic capacity of aviation cadets.

Flight cadets need to have good physical fitness to cope with the challenges of flying missions. The continuous development of science and technology has led to the constant upgrading of fighter jets and the improvement of their performance, which has resulted in new and higher requirements for the physical fitness of flight personnel. The traditional physical training mode, method, and assessment have been used for many years and do not meet current fitness needs. To investigate the impact of a 12-wk comprehensive anti-G fitness training program on the aerobic capacity of aviation cadets and to evaluate its effectiveness. Fifty-five cadets were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups using a randomized, single-blind design. The control group maintained their existing training regimen, while the experimental group participated in a 12-wk comprehensive training intervention. The training program comprised strength training twice per week, high-intensity interval training three times per week, and supplemental nutritional and psychological support. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), lower limb strength, and hemoglobin levels were measured at baseline, at 6 wk and 12 wk post-intervention. Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed significant differences of both VO2max and relative VO2 in both groups across time points (P < 0.05). However, no significant time-group interaction was observed (P > 0.05). Paired t-tests comparing baseline and 12-wk results showed that VO2max and relative VO2 were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). This suggests that the training program effectively enhanced the aerobic capacity of the experimental group. Key indicators of aerobic capacity, bilateral lower limb strength and hemoglobin levels, were also significantly different over time and between groups (P < 0.05). No significant differences were noted in heart-rate metrics (P > 0.05). A 12-wk comprehensive anti-G fitness training program significantly improved the aerobic capacity of aviation cadets, thereby enhancing their overall capacity and laying a physiological foundation for enduring high-G flights.

The effect of a physical fitness training program on some physical variables (strength, speed) and physiological (pulse, pressure) for auxiliary officers in the General Directorate of Lebanese State Security.

&#x0D; The study aims to develop a fitness program and study its effect on the two components of physical fitness (strength and speed), study the effect of the program on some physiological variables, including: pulse and pressure, and study the effect of the program on some dangerous factors that cause heart disease. The student used the experimental method using one group using a tribal and remote measurement method. The research experiment was conducted on a sample of 35 state security officers and agents whose ranks ranged from the rank of lieutenant to captain, The results were as follows: The effect of the proposed program on some physical variables, namely strength, speed and body composition, where strength and speed elements increase, weight decreases, and body fat percentage decreases. In addition to its effect on some physiological variables, which are the vital capacity, pulse and pressure, where the vital capacity increases and the pulse and pressure decrease, and it leads to a decrease in the proportion of risk factors that cause heart disease, as the systolic blood pressure, body fat percentage and body weight decreased. The psychological effect and the removal of stress and pressure plays an important role in reducing the proportion of dangerous factors that cause heart disease, as it became clear from the research results that blood pressure decreased, and this decrease is due to reducing the effect of stress on the constriction of blood vessels. Regular exercise also leads to an increase in high-density fats and a decrease in low-density fats that cause blood clot formation, and it was found that the effect of weight training programs on the physical and physiological variables of state security officers, as well as the decrease in the percentage of dangerous factors that cause heart diseases, weight training is a way to diversify and not get bored.&#x0D; &#x0D;

Follow-Up Weekly Training Distribution and Accumulated Internal Load Effects on Young Football Players' Well-Being, Physical Fitness, and Technical Performance.

This study aimed to quantify the relationships among internal training load, wellness, physiological, isokinetic profile, and technical performance and assessed changes before and after a six-week pre-season structured combining physical fitness, small-sided-game and skill-based training program in young soccer players. Forty-five national-level young male soccer players (16.8 ± 0.9 years) were evaluated. There were no significant correlations between the wellness index and the physiological, isokinetic, or specific soccer skill parameters. Moderate correlations were observed between fatigue and stress (r = 0.47, moderate, p < 0.01), fatigue and average muscle soreness (r = 0.38, moderate, p = 0.01), and a large correlation between average stress and muscle soreness (r = 0.53, large, p < 0.01) were presented. All physiological, isokinetic, and technical parameters improved after a six-week pre-season training program (0.1 to -61.0%). Significant alterations in the physiological domain were observed after a six-week period, particularly in the fatigue index of the Bangsbo sprint test, YO-YO IR1 performance, and YO-YO peak La- (p < 0.01; -61.0%, 25.3%, and -19.8%, respectively). As such, the implementation of structured training and the monitoring of stress responses can lead to appropriate adaptation and balancing in the psychological and physical well-being of young national-level soccer players, particularly in the pre-season period.

BLinG-Health: A Peer-Led Physical Activity Program for Black Adolescent Girls—A Pilot Study

Background: Culturally relevant approaches that address low physical activity rates among Black girls are increasing, yet opportunities to engage in physical activity (PA) remain minimal. Coupled with deficit approaches to school-based PA programming, positioning Black adolescent girls as PA leaders is missing from practice. BLinG-Health aims to develop peer leaders to participate in and deliver group fitness sessions in an after-school PA program. Methods: Black adolescent girls engaged in a culturally relevant, 8-week pretest and posttest quasi-experimental pilot study examining the impact of a peer-led school-based PA intervention program in a Baltimore, Maryland, public school. After peer leaders engaged in a 12-hr fitness education, training, and certification program using the Interactive Fitness Trainers of America’s Tabata group fitness instruction and certification series, peer leaders led classmates in group fitness 2–3 days a week for 8 weeks. Peer leaders and participants completed two assessment rounds at baseline and Week 9, including height and weight, to compute body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, hip-to-waist ratio, a 12-min run/walk, and push-up test. Results: Participants (n = 7; Mage = 16.43 years) significantly improved in cardiovascular endurance (p = .025) and muscular endurance (p = .013) with modest, nonsignificant changes in anthropometric measures. Discussion: Challenging deficit narratives on Black girls’ PA engagement, participants consistently attended weekly group fitness sessions and improved cardiovascular and muscular fitness. Empowering Black adolescent girls to lead group fitness sessions among peers may enhance PA engagement. Schools should consider culturally relevant programming to increase Black girls’ opportunities to engage in PA.

A Study on Synergistic Improvement of Physical Fitness and Skills of Basketball Players Based on Big Data

Abstract This paper proposes a strategy for synergistic improvement of physical fitness and skills of basketball players with the content of big data analysis of decision-making of physical fitness training programs and estimation of the human posture of basketball players. The data related to physical training and testing are processed using neural network methods, and a priori algorithms with continuous attributes discretize the data to realize data fragmentation and prevent data distortion caused by intrinsic correlation so as to build up a technical and methodological platform for physical training programs. At the same time, the basketball action posture estimation algorithm based on multi-scale spatiotemporal correlation features is proposed, and the human body temporal sequence feature capture module based on Transformer is constructed to improve the accuracy of basketball action posture estimation to meet the needs of skill training. The men’s basketball team of Shandong Agricultural University in China was used as a research object to carry out basketball physical fitness and skill training practices. The experimental group’s basketball players’ performance in barbell bench press and weighted squat was 11.06kg and 10.05kg more than that of the control group. Their performance in 3/4-court sprint running, and return running. Restriction-area footwork was 0.52s, 2.16s, and 1.97s faster than that of the control group, with significant differences in basketball skills, such as 14-meter round-trip straight-line dribbling around the pole and 30-second in situ spotting of two-handed chest pass (the first time in the experimental group). Basketball skills showed significant differences (P&lt;0.05).

Effectiveness of Integrated Mindfulness-Based Fitness Training Program in Ameliorating Physical Symptoms and Survivor Concerns in Patients With Breast Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Patients with breast cancer typically experience both mental and physical distress after aggressive treatments. Some studies have explored the use of integrated interventions, such as mindfulness-based or exercise-based approaches, to reduce these symptoms. However, the results of these studies have been conflicting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated mindfulness-based fitness training (MBFT) program in addressing overactive bladder, fear of cancer recurrence, and female sexual function in patients with breast cancer. Fifty patients with breast cancer were either assigned to an 8-week MBFT group or a waitlist control group. The postintervention and preintervention scores were compared using descriptive analysis of the data set, as well as paired and independent t tests. There was no significant improvement in overactive bladder symptoms. Significant differences were observed in survivor concerns for items related to future diagnostic tests (t = 2.667, P = .024; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.120-1.335), another type of cancer (t = 2.667, P = .024; 95% CI, 0.120-1.335), cancer coming back (t = 4.183, P = .002; 95% CI, 0.297-0.975), dying (t = 2.609, P = .026; 95% CI, 0.093-1.180), and my health (t = 2.887, P = .016; 95% CI, 0.104-0.805). A significant difference was found in the item measuring overall sexual life satisfaction (t = -3.162, P = .013) and sexual desire (MBFT vs waitlist control group, 2.00 vs 1.18; P = .023). Mindfulness-based fitness training interventions were effective in enhancing the well-being of patients with breast cancer by reducing fear of recurrence and enhancing sexual function. These findings support the use of MBFT as complementary therapy. Healthcare providers should carefully assess the individual needs and preferences of each patient and tailor interventions accordingly. In addition, integrating multiple approaches may be more effective in reducing distress.

Training for Muscular Fitness among Athletes: Towards Improving Attention and Concentration

This study was conducted at Zhengzhou University, Henan Province, China, with the aim of investigating the effects of muscle fitness training on athletes' attention and concentration. The study used descriptive experimental research methods to assess the effects of this training on student athletes participating in different sports such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, track and field, aerobics and tennis. The study focused on the experimental group and conducted several trials for different sports. The study found that different sports require different levels of muscularity. Interestingly, the study found that factors such as age, gender, grade level, and athletic specialization did not have a significant effect on the assessment of student's muscle demands. In light of these findings, the researchers recommend an integrated approach to fitness and exercise. The researchers suggest that each individual should begin exercising by choosing an intensity that matches his or her current fitness level and gradually increase intensity as strength and endurance improve. Finally, the study emphasizes the importance of monitoring muscle discomfort and seeking professional guidance when persistent pain or fatigue occurs. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of tailoring muscle fitness training and overall fitness programs for athletes, as well as the importance of injury prevention and overall health.

Physical Fitness of Thoroughbred Horse Racing Jockeys

Abstract Purpose Thoroughbred racing jockeys compete at maximum physiological capacity in a sport with a high risk of falls and injury. A greater understanding of the physical capacities determining jockey performance may lead to minimum physical performance parameters and corrective interventions to improve jockey fitness and performance and reduce jockey and horse injury. The aim of this study was to develop appropriate physical testing procedures for jockeys and a physical fitness profile for different licence levels. Methods Fifty-eight jockeys (n = 24 females, n = 34 males), representing all apprentice jockeys licenced in New Zealand in 2021 (100%, n = 8 probationers and n = 39 apprentices) and eleven professional jockeys (14%) were assessed to determine baseline physiological and fitness data. Descriptive statistics and boxplots were used to compare aerobic fitness, abdominal (core), upper and lower body strength, muscular power, reaction time, flexibility and a novel ‘saddle’ test targeting lower body strength, balance, and endurance between licencing levels. Effect Size (ES) was used to determine magnitude of differences between groups. Results More experienced jockeys had greater relative lower body strength (ES = 0.2–0.7) and better balance (ES = 0.5–0.9) compared to the less experienced groups. Jockeys who were in the top 20 of the premiership table (jockey rankings) had faster reaction times (ES = 0.7) and greater core extensor strength (ES = 0.7) than other cohorts. Most tests showed little differentiation between jockey licence levels, however the ‘saddle test’ showed greater variability in the less experienced race riders. This test may be an effective measure of jockey baseline performance. Conclusions These data could be used to inform minimum jockey licencing requirements and future physical fitness training programmes to increase jockey physiological fitness, thereby minimising risk of falls or injury due to physiological deficits and performance.

CrossFit®: 'Unknowable' or Predictable?-A Systematic Review on Predictors of CrossFit® Performance.

The functional fitness training program CrossFit® is experiencing fast-growing and widespread popularity with day-to-day varying 'Workouts of the Day' (WOD). Even among tactical athletes, the training program is widely applied. Nevertheless, there is a lack of data on which parameters influence CrossFit® performance. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of the existing literature to identify and summarize predictors of CrossFit® performance and performance enhancement. In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of the following databases was conducted in April 2022: PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, and Web of Science. Using the keyword 'CrossFit', 1264 entries are found, and 21 articles are included based on the eligibility criteria. In summary, the studies show conflicting results, and no specific key parameter was found that predicts CrossFit® performance regardless of the type of WOD. In detail, the findings indicate that physiological parameters (in particular, body composition) and high-level competitive experience have a more consistent influence than specific performance variables. Nevertheless, in one-third of the studies, high total body strength (i.e., CrossFit® Total performance) and trunk strength (i.e., back squat performance) correlate with higher workout scores. For the first time, this review presents a summary of performance determinants in CrossFit®. From this, a guiding principle for training strategies may be derived, suggesting that a focus on body composition, body strength, and competition experience may be recommended for CrossFit® performance prediction and performance enhancement.

Determining the Main Resilience Competencies by Applying Fuzzy Logic in Military Organization

Military training programs have been developed to enhance soldier resilience competencies, which are necessary for soldiers to perform their duties effectively under stress. The ongoing military conflict in Ukraine and the experience of previous military missions abroad emphasize the need for effective training that helps soldiers recover quickly and continue their missions. However, selecting the most suitable resilience training program is challenging and the selection criteria need to be optimized to ensure the most needed competencies are considered. This study aimed to utilize a fuzzy MCDM method to establish the priority weight of decision-making criteria, identifying the core competencies necessary for soldier resilience training, and utilizing the fuzzy TOPSIS method to rank and select the most appropriate training program. The evaluation results were calculated using the MATLAB (R2020b) mathematical package developed by MathWorks. The application of the hierarchical MCDA model based on fuzzy sets theory indicated that mental agility is the most important competence in high-stress environments. The study found that the Mindfulness-Based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT) program, which is intended to regulate soldiers’ emotions, had the highest rank among evaluated options according to the combined FAHP sub-factor fuzzy weights and alternatives evaluation conducted using FTOPSIS. The study provides valuable information on the selection of military resilience training programs.

Identifying the most important, frequent, and physically demanding tasks of Brazilian firefighters

This study aimed to identify the most important, frequently performed, and physically demanding tasks performed by Brazilian firefighters and to identify tasks that could be used to assess physical fitness. A subjective task analysis was conducted. Five hundred twenty-four firefighters (84% male; 16% females) responded to an online survey and rated 37 tasks across three domains (most important, most frequent, and most physically demanding). A dichotomous decision analysis was used to inform the proposed physical fitness tests. Wildland firefighting tasks presented the highest overall mean rate. Traffic control was considered the most important and frequently performed task. Lifeguard rescue was considered the most physically demanding task. The dichotomous analysis identified 14 essential tasks (seven structural firefighting and seven automobile accidents). The tasks identified may be helpful in developing criterion physical fitness tests and training programs related to firefighters’ demands. Practitioner summary: The unpredictability, variability, and dangerousness of firefighting make it challenging to observe the physical demands imposed on firefighters. A subjective task analysis was conducted to identify essential tasks performed by Brazilian firefighters. Wildland firefighting, lifeguard rescue, automobile accidents, and structural firefighting tasks were the most important, frequent, and physically demanding.
