Sports Massage: How does it Affect Reducing Lactic Acid Levels in Athletes?

Increased lactic acid levels in the blood and muscles during high-intensity training and sports competitions cause muscles to get fatigued, which affects physical performance and is made worse by a greater risk of injury. Therefore, a solution is needed. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of sports massage on reducing lactic acid levels in athletes. This research is a true-experimental design with a pretest-post-test control group design. A total of 24 football athletes from the Faculty of Sports Science, Padang State University, Indonesia were used as research samples. Sports massage treatment was given after the athlete did a 1.500 meter run (experimental) and without sports massage (control). Sports massage is given to the back, back of the neck, shoulders, upper extremities, and lower extremities. The techniques used include effleurage, petrissage, shaking, tapotement, walken, vibration, and skin-rolling. Each was given 6 repetitions. Then, accutrendlactacid was used to measure lactic acid levels. Data were analyzed using a t-test. The results showed that lactic acid levels in both groups increased after running 1500 meters. However, after being given a sports massage in the experimental group, lactic acid levels decreased by 1.94 mmol/L. Meanwhile, the lactic acid level in the control group was 5.43 mmol/L. The difference in mean lactic acid levels from the post-test data of the two groups showed a significant result of 6.16 mmol/L (p < 0.05). In conclusion, giving sports massage after exercise and sports competition (high intensity) is very effective in reducing lactic acid levels in athletes. The results of this study are expected to be useful for coaches, sports health teams, and athletes to reduce lactic acid levels so that they can improve performance during exercise (sports competition), and minimize the occurrence of a high risk of injury.

Digital Readiness in Physical Education and Sports Health Learning: Study at Elementary School, Yogyakarta

Existing technological developments require all fields to be able to adjust to conditions in terms of technology. Several studies related to the use of technology during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia show the unpreparedness of educators to adapt to emergency conditions that demand the use of online and hybrid learning, especially in PJOK subjects. Based on this, the researcher aims to determine the pattern of distance learning carried out by Physical Health and Sports Education teachers in elementary schools in Yogyakarta. Sequential explanatory design is used with quantitative and qualitative research approaches that are carried out sequentially. This research aims to analyze the need to develop learning media that can be used online, offline and in blended learning. The analysis of existing learning patterns shows that most teachers have met the standards of distance learning implementation. However, learning media development on certain materials still needs to be done to support each material delivery activity carried out by the teacher. The survey results show that most teachers still use teaching materials in print or electronic form and existing learning videos. The results of in-depth interviews indicate that there is still a need to develop learning media on athletic activities, self-defense, physical fitness development activities, gymnastics, rhythmic motion, water activities, personal safety, and a healthy lifestyle. With the results of this analysis, it is hoped that it can provide ideas and inspiration for further research in developing learning media, especially Physical Health and Sports Education in elementary schools so that educational goals towards the era of society 5.0 involve various technological developments can be achieved optimally both in emergency and normal conditions.

Tackling noncommunicable diseases in Africa through football: The case of Malawi

AbstractThere is evidence that physical inactivity and dietary factors are more common among modifiable risk factors for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) which are on the rise in Malawi. Football has been shown to have a wide range of health‐related benefits in health education programs, including the promotion of physical activity as a potential intervention in addressing NCDs. In Malawi, few football‐based health promotion programs have been implemented to address NCDs. Among the programs implemented were the Federation Internationale de Football Association 11 for Health initiative which was a school‐based health education program for the youth and the Malawi Ministry of Health's SPORTS FOR HEALTH initiative targeting civil servants. These programs produced significant improvement in physical activity in the participants and also increased their knowledge of both communicable and NCDs. However, these initiatives were not rolled out to many sites across Malawi. As Malawi is tackling rising cases of NCDs, football can be used as a powerful tool in promoting physical activity and it also provides an important platform for the delivery of NCDs’ health promotion messages to a wider audience. Such football‐based initiatives must be designed to directly address modifiable risk factors of NCDs. For successful implementation, there must be a good collaboration among the Ministries of Health and Sports, local football leagues, and other stakeholders.

Capacitive Sensors with Hybrid Dielectric Structures and High Sensitivity over a Wide Pressure Range for Monitoring Biosignals

Various dielectrics with porous structures or high dielectric constants have been designed to improve the sensitivity of capacitive pressure sensors (CPSs), but this strategy has only been effective for the low-pressure range. Here, a hierarchical gradient hybrid dielectric, composed of low-permittivity (low-k) polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) foam with low Young's modulus (low-E) and high-permittivity (high-k) MWCNT/PDMS foam with high Young's modulus (high-E), is designed to develop a CPS for monitoring biosignals over a wide force range. The foam-like structure with hybrid permittivity (low-k + high-k) is facilitated to improve the sensitivity, while the hierarchical structure with gradient Young's modulus (low-E + high-E) contributes to broadening the pressure sensing range. With the hierarchical gradient hybrid structure, the flexible pressure sensor achieves an enhanced sensitivity of 2.155 kPa-1, a wide pressure range (up to 500 kPa), a minimum detection limit (50 Pa), and an excellent durability (>2500 cycles). As a demonstration, a venous thrombosis simulation and smart insole system are established to monitor venous blood clots and plantar pressures, respectively, which reveal potential applications in wearable medicine, sports health prediction, athlete training, and sports equipment design.

Urinary incontinence and risk factors among Croatian female athletes - a pilot cross-sectional observational study

Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) in female athletes (FA) is a globally concerning but neglected topic in Croatia. The purpose was to examine the occurrence and severity of UI in Croatian FA and occurrence-associated factors. Methods: In May 2022, an anonymous online survey collecting general sports characteristics and the Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) were sent to individual FA. Obtained data were analysed with the PSPP program: chi-square test, t-test and analysis of variance with a defined significance level of p &lt; 0.05. Results: The presence of UI in the total sample of 70 FA competing in 12 different sports is 24.3 %: 8 (29.6 %) handball players, 3 (42.9 %) tennis players, 2 (40 %) water polo players, one (14.3 %) synchronised swimmer, seven soccer players (14.3 %), one weightlifter (50 %) and the only swimmer (100 %). According to ICIQ-UI SF, in 70.59 % of FA with UI, a small amount of urine leaks approximately once a week or less often, mainly after urination and dressing up (35.29 %). The UI interference with quality of life is mild (70.59 %) and moderately severe (29.41 %), and the UI severity is slight (47 %) to moderate (53 %). Smokers report UI to a greater extent (χ2(1, n = 70) = 4.666, p &lt; 0.05), while other sports and FA characteristics did not yield significant findings. Conclusions: UI is present in a quarter of examined Croatian FA, with mild to moderate severity. It mildly interferes with the quality of life and seems to be associated with smoking. Our findings contribute to preserving women's health in sports and apply to UI assessment in FA and counselling on smoking cessation as a proven UI risk.

Intermittent hypoxia in sport nutrition, performance, health status and body composition.

Intermittent hypoxia refers to the discontinuous use of low oxygen levels in normobaric environment. These conditions can be reproduced in hypoxic tents or chambers while the individual is training in different physical activity protocols. Intermittent hypoxia can affect several body systems, impacting nutrition, physical performance, health status and body composition. Therefore, it is necessary to assess protocols, regarding time and frequency of exposure, passive exposure or training in hypoxia, and the simulated altitude. At the molecular level, the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α is the primary factor mediating induction of target genes, including vascular endothelial growth factor and erythropoietin. The goal of these molecular changes is to preserve oxygen supply for cardiac and neuronal function. In addition, hypoxia produces a sympathetic adrenal activation that can increase the resting metabolic rate. Altogether, these changes are instrumental in protocols designed to improve physical performance as well as functional parameters for certain pathological disorders. In addition, nutrition must adapt to the increased energy expenditure. In this last context, performing physical activity in intermittent hypoxia improves insulin sensitivity by increasing the presence of the glucose transporter GLUT-4 in muscle membranes. These changes could also be relevant for obesity and type 2 diabetes treatment. Also, the anorectic effect of intermittent hypoxia modulates serotonin and circulating leptin levels, which may contribute to regulate food intake and favor body weight adaptation for optimal sport performance and health. All these actions suggest that intermittent hypoxia can be a very effective tool in sports training as well as in certain clinical protocols.

Međunarodno pravni standardi kazneno-pravne zaštite od nasilja na sportskim priredbama

The aim of the paper is to present the effectiveness of the mechanisms used so far to prevent violence and unsuitable behaviour at sports events, contained in the international legal framework and national legislation, and which arose from the practice of opposing this form of violence in certain countries of Western Europe. International cooperation in the field of criminal-legal protection against violence at sports events developed after a series of tragic events in the second half of the 20th century, with the intention of establishing a system of preventive action through the power of laws and international conventions in order to eliminate unpleasant scenes from the content of sports activities. As certain societies, especially those in the process of transition, ignore the importance of the health and recreational function of sports, at the same time they do not do enough in terms of this prevention and change of those social relations that are at the foundation of the deviant behaviour of sports actors, primarily fans. Based on the qualitative analysis of the literature, as a basic methodological approach and the analysis of the legal and institutional framework in this area, it is declared that many useful and effective steps have been taken in this field in the last few decades. However, as violence at sports events still exists as an unavoidable feature of almost every activity of this kind, on the fields and in the halls throughout Europe, we could note that there is some room for further progress in terms of the defined goal. Using cheering as a defense mechanism of identification, where the very competitive relationship within the game creates rivalry, these members of mostly marginalized social groups in this way articulate their dissatisfaction in a socially unacceptable way.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The integration of sports into medicine is to optimize the allocation of health resources, improve the efficiency of health services, and promote the health level of the entire population through the mutual integration and coordination of resources from sports and medical systems. Objective: Investigate and analyze the common factors of sports injuries in the elderly after participation in sports, providing a reference for the scientific formulation of sports programs and health promotion services in the elderly. Methods: The risk factors of sports injuries in elderly people aged 60-75 years in three cities were investigated, including organization management, sports environment, sports items, and other factors were statistically analyzed. The risk assessment index system of sports injuries in the elderly and the types and causes of common sports injuries were summarized by statistical methods. Results: There are many reasons for sports injuries in the elderly, including subjective and objective factors, but the common sports injuries come mainly from subjective factors, mainly pelvic girdle, knee, and ankle. Conclusion: It is necessary for the elderly to participate in physical exercise, fully recognizing the risks of the possible sport to take preventive measures for sports injuries. Once there is a sports injury in the process of exercise, measures should be taken the first time for intervention treatment.

Purpose: This study aims to understand the impact that this reform has had on sport sciences masterly students in Italy, in terms of perceptions and opinions, and what kind of feedback it has had in their university education, in terms of coherence. Methods: The sample represents 288 sport sciences masterly students divided into sports kinesiologist (N=162) mean age of 25.7 (± 5.7); kinesiologist of preventive and adapted physical activities (N=66) mean age of 27.3 (± 7.1); sports manager (N=60) mean age of 27.4 (± 9.3). A questionnaire submitted through Google Forms and sent to masterly students of the University of Salento and Salerno was used. The data (age, gender, university provenance and current study path) were presented as means and standard deviations, while the percentage frequency of responses was reported for each item, using the chi-squared test. The level of significance was set with P &lt;.05. Results: The knowledge of the sport reform and the impact of the sport reform among the 3 masterly classes gave a not statistically significant result (P=.30; P=.63). The perceptions of job opportunities and strengths offered by this reform, for each of the professional figures, gave a significant result (P=.0001; P=.0001). The coherence of one’s university education with the respective professional profile was found to be significant (P=.0001; P=.01). Conclusions: The knowledge of the sport reform is homogeneous in the 3 masterly classes analysed. Regarding perceptions on job opportunities, sports kinesiologist (LM68) and preventive and adapted physical activities kinesiologist (LM67) courses are affected by the spaces already occupied by sports federations and health figures; while sports manager (LM47) showed some confidence in the new opportunities that this profile offers. Finally, some reflections emerged regarding the need to have a university education more coherence with the professional profile. Keywords: reform, physical education, professional profiles, perspectives.

Changes in physical activity trends and the health status in south Korean adult males before and during the COVID-19 pandemic

This study aims to investigate changes in physical activity and health trends before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea using data from the 2019, 2020, and 2021 Korea National Sports Participation Survey (KNSPS). A total of 15,656 adult males (5487 people in 2019, 4791 people in 2020, and 5378 people in 2021) were selected for this research. Descriptive statistical analysis, chi-square test, and one-way analysis of variance were performed. In this study, we revealed changes in sports activities, participation levels, health and fitness status perception, and health and fitness maintenance factors of Korean adults before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the participation rate in outdoor sports activities, such as walking, gate ball, golf, and fishing has increased compared to before the COVID-19 outbreak. On the other hand, the participation rate of indoor sports activities, such as bodybuilding, swimming, yoga, and Pilates showed a decreasing trend. Participation period, frequency, and intensity, which evaluate the level of sports participation, also showed significant differences during COVID-19, but as the sports participation levels have not changed regularly, it cannot be attributed to COVID-19. Finally, health and fitness status perception were found to be worse after the COVID-19 outbreak than before. In addition, the rate of considering regular physical activity participation as a factor to maintain health and fitness after the COVID-19 outbreak increased. The results of this study can be used as basic data to recognize the impact of the pandemic on our lives and promote healthy and regular physical activity in preparation for any pandemic that may occur in the future.
