Training fatigue and recovery of Wushu Sanda athletes based on comprehensive environmental testing

Abstract Wushu Sanda is a practical fighting skill and a new modern competitive event. Under certain conditions, they use kicking, hitting and wrestling as the main means according to certain rules. A good Sanda athlete should have good physical quality and special skills. Given the continuous change and revision of Sanda rules, the means to reduce the number of injuries sustained by athletes, tap their potential and prolong their sports life has become an urgent priority. During the training process, the coaches should use a guided and inspiring educational model to enable athletes to think positively and rationally. It is necessary to clearly understand the physical conditions of the body, combine the special characteristics of the Sanda movement and adopt effective prevention and recovery methods. This paper takes the sports fatigue of Sanda athletes as the research goal. To this end, we use physical, biochemical and psychological indicators and means to comprehensively monitor athletes’ sports fatigue. In order to improve martial arts training, improve the physical health of martial arts athletes and improve the athletes’ competitive level.

Theoretical aspects of self-control training in younger teenagers in the process of practicing martial arts

The article examines the content of self-control training in younger teenagers in the process of practicing martial arts. It is emphasized that in the conditions of the development of Ukrainian society and the reformation of the educational environment, the problem of educating the self-control of student youth through the means of physical culture and sports is insufficiently developed and requires the careful attention of scientists. Psychological-pedagogical studies devoted to aspects of solving the problems of education of moral and volitional qualities of student youth in the process of physical education and martial arts are highlighted. It has been revealed what knowledge and skills we try to form in younger teenagers during the education of self-control in the process of practicing martial arts. The content of the four stages of the experimental research is described (the first stage is the deepening of knowledge in younger teenagers about self-control as a necessary moral and volitional quality during martial arts training and in the educational process as a whole; the second stage is the formation of the desire to engage in physical culture and martial arts, to be communicative, self-organized, observe discipline, be interested in the sports history of Ukraine, school traditions); the third stage is to form in younger teenagers the ability to make meaningful, volitional decisions; the desire to show self-control (act of will) during martial arts classes; be responsible for the assignments of teachers and trainers). It has been found that the moral and volitional qualities of self- control, endurance, self-confidence and others) are fundamental in the formation of the personality of a younger teenager, and their features of manifestation are: balance between external and internal factors to curb the excess of emotions and impulses; responsibility, a sense of duty, the ability to manage one's actions and deeds, internal organization, the ability to consciously subordinate one's actions to generally accepted rules and norms, and others. It is noted that the conducted research on self-control training in younger teenagers in the process of practicing martial arts does not cover all aspects of the problem. It is promising to study: pedagogical conditions for the education of self-control among students; peculiarities of education of self-control of younger teenagers by means of other types of sports and mass activities.

The Effects of a Martial Arts-Based Intervention on Secondary School Students’ Self-Efficacy: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Physical activities are generally accepted as promoting important psychological benefits. However, studies examining martial arts as a form of physical activity and mental health have exhibited many methodological limitations in the past. Additionally, recent philosophical discussion has debated whether martial arts training promotes psychological wellbeing or illness. Self-efficacy has an important relationship with mental health and may be an important mechanism underpinning the potential of martial arts training to promote mental health. This study examined the effect of martial arts training on the psychological construct of self-efficacy. A total of 283 secondary school students with a mean age of 12.76 (SD = 0.68) years were recruited to complete a time-limited (10-session) martial arts intervention, which was examined using a randomised controlled trial. Univariate ANOVAs found that the intervention improved the experimental group’s self-efficacy compared to the control group, which was sustained at follow-up. Regression analysis indicated that socio-educational status moderated this outcome. These findings support the martial arts-based intervention’s potential to improve self-efficacy and promote wellbeing through physical activity. Martial arts training may be an efficacious psychosocial treatment that can be used as a complementary approach to promote mental health.

The impact of aerobic exercise (Light Contact) on mental patients' physical characteristics, phobias, and depression

As a result, the researcher decided to develop Light Contact Boxing exercises and assess their influence on the physical and psychological components of anxiety and depression in the treatment of certain mental patients in the province of Babylon. The study's goals were to: - -Prepare Light Contact activities for mental patients suffering from phobias and despair. The researcher employed the experimental strategy: The researcher was chosen from two equal groups for the experimental approach. (an experimental group and a control group with a pre and post-test). The sample size is (26) boxers, and (13) boxers were chosen at random. The sample was separated into two groups (experimental and control) and ranged in age from 20 to 25 years. The researcher then presented, examined, and discussed the findings: It showed the arithmetic mean and standard deviations and the data were put into tables, where the researcher utilized the statistical package (SPSS) and then examined and discussed the results in an accurate scientific manner. The most important conclusions: Based on the findings of this investigation, the researcher came to the following conclusions: 1- The light-contact technique exercises utilized on mental patients had an effect on the development of physical variables. 2- The light-contact technique exercises utilized on mental patients had an effect on the development of fear and depression characteristics. The following were the most important recommendations: 1- Paying close attention to the weekly evaluation of pulse variables in all exercise strains and determining the time for rest and effort on this basis. 2- Taking care of and focusing on the mechanical mechanism of executing physical and skilled activities. 3- Emphasizing training variety, such as weights, flexibility, and others. 4- Concentrating on other talents in various kinds with aerobic exercises. 6- Instructing patients to conduct exercises in sports with limited areas and open skills, such as swimming, volleyball, and martial arts training with shadow boxing or mild contact.

무도 수련과 초등학생의 학습 태도 간 관계

In this study, when elementary school students practice martial arts, there is an objection that martial arts training confirms the relationship between elementary school students learning attitude and concentration. The subjects of this study were about 200 elementary school students practicing martial arts located in D city and G province. The 30-question questionnaire was reconstructed with the help of experts, and the subjects participated in the questionnaire using the self-assessment method. As a result, it was confirmed that martial arts training affected responsibility, self-concept, and creativity according to gender and age, influenced creativity according to the degree of martial arts participation, and had a positive effect on self-concept according to the training period. In addition, it was confirmed that gender, age, and training period affected continuous attention and that martial arts affected selective attention. Overall, regardless of the kind, martial arts training has a positive effect on elementary school students learning attitude and concentration. As the period of martial arts training becomes longer and the age of the trainee increases, the effect of martial arts can increase.

Factors associated with hand grip strength in martial arts

Backgound: Handgrip strength is an important metric used in sports and helps measure athletes' conditions. It is affected by many factors, including athletes’ age, body weight, skills, or years of training. Unfortunately, at least in martial arts, associations among those factors are not apparent. Methods: In the study, 178 athletes training in martial arts (Jujitsu and Karate) were evaluated for their age, years of training, body weight, and skills (belt grade). HGS was measured via the dynamometric measurement of hand force. Moderation analysis was employed to evaluate the relationships between athletes’ body weight and handgrip strength and between athletes’ skills and handgrip strength. Results:It was shown that athletes’ body weight and HGS are moderated preferentially by athletes’ age and then by years of training. It was demonstrated that HGS could be improved by athletes younger than 52 years old. Years of training also moderate the relationship, but the moderation is limited to 39 years of training. The relationship between athletes’ skills and HGS is illustrated by moderated moderation, where triple interaction among skills, age and years of training can explain an additional 12.9% of the HGS variance. Conclusions: The presented study may be used to evaluate relationships between numerous variables associated with HGS and could be vital for constructing statistical models for trainers' purposes.

Antoniettô, NR, Bello, FD, Carrenho Queiroz, AC, Berbert de Carvalho, PH, Brito, CJ, Amtmann, J, and Miarka, B. Suggestions for professional mixed martial arts training with pacing strategy and technical-tactical actions by rounds. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2019-This study compared the pacing strategy and motor actions used in mixed martial arts combats ending by knockout/technical knockout (KO/TKO) or submission. All of the sample bouts ended in KO/TKO and consisted of 1,564 rounds of 678 bouts. The bouts were separated by round (R) of bouts ending (ER) in the first round (n = 192), first (1R × 2ER) and second (2R × 2ER) of bouts ending in the second round (n = 172), and first (1R × 3ER), second (2R × 3ER), and third (3R × 3ER) of bouts ending in the third round (n = 1,200). The analyses were performed according to the duration ([INCREMENT]) in each phase: [INCREMENT] standing preparatory activity time, [INCREMENT] standing combat activity time, [INCREMENT] ground preparatory activity time, and [INCREMENT] ground combat activity time and their technical-tactical actions (attempted and landed strikes to the head, body and leg, takedowns, and submissions). The main results demonstrated a shorter [INCREMENT] standing preparatory activity time in 1R × 1ER (95.6 ± 62.9 seconds) and 2R × 2ER (93.6 ± 67.9 seconds) vs. 2R × 3ER (160.5 ± 87.4 seconds) and 3R × 3ER (144.0 ± 88.5 seconds) with fewer strikes attempted and landed to the head, body, and legs (p ≤ 0.05). No differences were observed (p > 0.05) between [INCREMENT] standing combat activity time, but lower attempted and landed takedowns and strikes to the head, body, and leg frequencies. There were shorter [INCREMENT] ground combat activity time (p ≤ 0.05) in 1R × 1ER (23.4 ± 45.5) and 2R × 2ER (25.3 ± 41.9) vs. 2R × 3ER (50.4 ± 69.9) and 3R × 3ER (52.9 ± 74.2), with lower attempted submissions, chokes, and attempted and landed strikes to the head, body, and leg frequencies observed. These results contribute to the information developed from current research to help improve the quality of training and promote effective athletic preparation related to pacing strategy and performance models.

Quantitative Ultrasound Examination (QUS) of the Calcaneus in Long-Term Martial Arts Training on the Example of Long-Time Practitioners of Okinawa Kobudo/Karate Shorin-Ryu.

Quantitative research of bone tissue related to physical activity (PA) and sport has a preventive dimension. Increasing the parameters of bone tissue strength, especially reaching the maximum value of peak bone strength in childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood due to practicing sports can contribute to maintaining bone health throughout life. Practicing martial arts (tai chi, traditional karate, judo, and boxing) can effectively improve the quality of bone and reduce the risk of falls and fractures. The study aimed to evaluate the calcaneus bones among Okinawa Kobudo/Karate Shorin-Ryu practitioners using the quantitative ultrasound method as an indicator for assessing bone fracture risk. Forty-four adult martial arts practitioners with a mean age of 36.4 participated in this study. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) with a portable Bone Ultrasonometer was used in this study. Speed of sound (SOS), broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), and the stiffness index (SI) were measured. Subjects were assigned to two groups of black and color belts, according to the advancement in Kobudo/karate practice. The measurements of the SI, BUA, SOS, T-score, and Z-score were significantly higher in subjects from the advanced, long-term practice (black belts) (p < 0.05). The long-term martial arts training in traditional karate and Kobudo significantly impacts the parameters of the calcaneus quantitative ultrasound measurements. Significantly higher bone density was observed among the black belt holders. Long-term practice subjects achieved results far beyond the norm for their age groups. Further studies using non-invasive methods of bone quantification are needed to determine the specific conditions for preventing osteoporosis through physical activity, sports, and martial arts, particularly the duration of the activity, the magnitude of loads, and other related factors.

ALTERAÇÕES FISIOLÓGICAS DOS ATLETAS DE ARTES MARCIAIS EM TREINOS DE ALTITUDE

ABSTRACT Introduction: Recent studies have shown that altitude training can significantly improve hemoglobin content in athletes. This allows for greater oxygen transport to the muscles and, consequently, greater load capacity during training. However, there is no confirmed evidence of athlete-specific training in martial arts. Objective: Explore the load capacity and ability changes caused by high altitude training in athletes. Methods: The research selected ten high-level martial arts athletes as volunteers to compare the functional changes caused by high-altitude training. Physical and functional data were collected before the beginning of the experiment and at its conclusion after three weeks. Results: Measured abilities were significantly improved after 11 days of altitude physical training. After 21 days of altitude training, these abilities improved significantly. The urea nitrogen and creatine kinase values increased rapidly with increasing load intensity in the first stage, peaked in the second stage, and decreased in the third stage. Conclusion: Training in the low-pressure hypoxic environment at high altitude, using dual stimulation of hypoxia and exercise to make the athletes stress response, can stimulate the physical potential to achieve a range of physiological abilities to improve the body’s resistance to hypoxia. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
