Studi Kuantitatif Kerapatan Lamun di Perairan Teluk Cempi: Implikasi untuk Konservasi dan Manajemen Sumber Daya Laut

Cempi Bay is an important water area with a rich and diverse ecosystem. One crucial component of marine ecosystem that plays a major role in maintaining the balance of the marine environment is seagrass. The objective of this research is to provide critical insights into the dynamics of seagrass populations in Cempi Bay and offer an overview of the broader coastal ecosystem's condition. The research, conducted in June-July 2021 at 5 research stations, employed the transect method. At each data collection point, three transect lines were created perpendicular to the coastline. The distance between transect lines was 100 m, and each transect consisted of 10 quadrants measuring 1x1 m with a 5 m distance for each quadrant. Four seagrass species were identified: Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Halodule pinifolia, and Cymodocea serrulata. These species were found on sand substrates, with the highest total density and percentage cover observed at Station 5 (1135.22 ind/m2 and 40.74%). The results highlight the necessity for routine monitoring, mapping, and further research to comprehend seagrass population dynamics and support effective conservation policies. Implementation of recovery strategies, water quality management, and continued research support is imperative to ensure the sustainability of seagrass ecosystems and marine resources in Cempi Bay.

Fatigue and Recovery in Rugby: A Review.

The physical demands and combative nature of rugby lead to notable levels of muscle damage. In professional rugby, athletes only have a limited timeframe to recover following training sessions and competition. Through the implementation of recovery strategies, sport scientists, practitioners and coaches have sought to reduce the effect of fatigue and allow athletes to recover faster. Although some studies demonstrate that recovery strategies are extensively used by rugby athletes, the research remains equivocal concerning the efficacy of recovery strategies in rugby. Moreover, given the role of inflammation arising from muscle damage in the mediation of protein synthesis mechanisms, some considerations have been raised on the long-term effect of using certain recovery modalities that diminish inflammation. While some studies aimed to understand the effects of recovery modalities during the acute recovery phase (<48h post-match), others investigated the effect of recovery modalities during a more prolonged timeframe (i.e. during a training week). Regarding the acute effectiveness of different recovery modalities, cold water immersion and contrast baths seem to provide a beneficial effect on creatine kinase clearance, neuromuscular performance and delayed onset of muscle soreness. There is support in the literature concerning the effect of compression garments on enhancing recovery from delayed onset of muscle soreness; however, conflicting findings were observed for the restoration of neuromuscular function with the use of this strategy. Using a short-duration active recovery protocol seems to yield little benefit to recovery from rugby training or competition. Given that cold modalities may potentially affect muscle size adaptations from training, their inclusion should be treated with caution and perhaps restricted to certain periods where athlete readiness is more important than increases in muscle size.
