The impact of fatigue on the jumping mechanics and injury risk of basketball players

Fatigue can significantly alter an athlete’s biomechanics and performance, which can increase their risk of injury. Important basketball moves like jump shots (JS) and countermovement jumps (CMJ) primarily use the muscles in the lower back and lower limbs. Basketball players’ jumping mechanics, performance, and risk of injury during CMJ, JS, and ankle sprains were all examined. A total of 415 male collegiate basketball players participated in the league, this season representing varying levels of jumping mechanics. Surface electromyography, a force plate, and a 3D motion analysis system were used to gather data. Field-goal percentage, the center of mass’s (CM) lowest point, joint angles during takeoff and landing, and Electromyography data from the lower leg muscles, erector spinae limbal, and rectus femoris were among the parameters that were recorded. Lower back muscle tiredness was created, and performance was evaluated after the fatigue. Data was analyzed using SPSS, with paired-sample t-tests, logistic, and Multiple Regression tests employed to examine the impact of fatigue on performance and injury risk. These tests assessed how fatigue affects shooting accuracy and joint angles, and increases the chance of injuries in basketball players. Following a period of tiredness, athletes’ field-goal percentages significantly decreased, whereas their CM lowest point increased on jump shots. In both CMJ and JS, fatigue leads to reduced knee flexion angles and increased ankle plantar flexion during landing, changing the contribution ratio of both legs. Due to impaired mechanics, these biomechanical changes suggest an increased probability of ankle sprains and an elevated risk of damage, especially during landing. The risk of lower back, knee, and ankle injuries increased due to major athletic impairments and altered landing mechanics caused by lower back muscular fatigue. To reduce basketball players’ risk of injury, these data highlight how crucial it is to address fatigue in training and recovery plans.

Using Genetic Algorithm to Optimize the Training Plan and Game Strategy of Basketball Players

Basketball teams rely heavily on the effectiveness of their practice regimens and game plans to succeed. The intricacy of the game and the range of skills players must possess make it extremely difficult to develop effective training plans and tactical techniques. The use of genetic algorithms (GAs) as a cutting-edge technique to enhance basketball players’ practice regimens and game strategies is investigated in this work. Inspired by biology and natural selection, genetic algorithms provide a potent optimization method that, via the repeated steps of evolution, can find close to ideal solutions to challenging issues. As chromosomes made up of genes relating to different parameters and tactics, prospective training plans and game tactics are represented by GAs, which enable them to efficiently search across the large solution space and find combinations that optimize desired results. As part of the research approach, the goals and limitations of the optimization issue are defined. Fitness functions are intended to assess each potential solution’s efficacy, directing development toward better solutions across a series of iterations. This study shows how effective genetic algorithms are in optimizing basketball players’ training regimens and game strategy through simulators and real-world tests. In order to continually enhance player growth and team competitiveness, coaches can use GAs to refine and modify tactics based on feedback as well as performance data in an iterative manner. The results of this study have significance for team sports other than basketball, where results are heavily influenced by the interaction of players’ individual abilities, teamwork, and decisions about strategy. In the end, incorporating algorithms based on genetics into sports analytics presents a viable way to improve coaching techniques and reach the highest levels of efficiency in sporting settings.

Cloud-based adolescent physical health research incorporating cell molecular biomechanics insights into predictive modeling and biometric algorithms

The physical health of adolescents is critical to their future development and quality of life. However, there is still much room for improvement in monitoring and intervention of adolescent physical health in colleges and universities. Based on the National Standard for Student Physical Fitness and Health, this study proposes a physical health management framework for adolescents that combines a cloud platform and real-time data analysis. Through an innovative health monitoring and early warning system and feedback mechanism, the effectiveness of health intervention was significantly improved. Body mass index is related to the balance between energy intake and expenditure at the cellular level. Excessive calorie intake can lead to an increase in adipose cells, which secrete molecules that can affect overall metabolism and biomechanical stress on tissues. Lung capacity is linked to the elasticity and strength of the alveolar cells and the connective tissue in the lungs. he proper functioning of these cells, regulated by intracellular signaling pathways and molecular interactions, determines the efficiency of gas exchange. The 50-meter run, seated forward bending, standing long jump, pull-ups/sit-ups, and 800-meter/1000-meter run all involve muscle contractions. Muscle cells contain actin and myosin filaments, and the sliding of these filaments, regulated by calcium ions and other molecular signals, generates the force required for movement. The graded early warning parameters established by the system can thus be seen as indicators of potential disruptions in these cell molecular biomechanical processes. The innovative health monitoring and early warning system and feedback mechanism not only help students recognize the weaknesses in their physical functions from a macroscopic level but also potentially identify areas where cell molecular biomechanical imbalances may exist. This enables physical education teachers to formulate personalized training plans that can target and correct these imbalances, as experimentally validated by the system's ability to accurately identify health risks and enhance the overall health of students.

Could Sports Coaching Contexts Learn From Planning Models in Physical Education Contexts? Exploring the Parallels and Divergences Regarding Planning Between Both Contexts

Planning is essential for organising learning content in sports coaching and physical education (PE) contexts but depends on multiple and mutable circumstances in each context. Although learning and performance are present in both contexts, planning in PE is typically more centred on learning, while coaching tends to focus more on performance. Nonetheless, sports coaching planning also requires ongoing learning to support performance, with coaches outlining pedagogical strategies in their daily training plans to achieve both short- and long-term goals. From this perspective, planning models used in PE contexts may offer valuable insights for sports coaching contexts, helping coaches develop various pedagogical approaches to plan their learning tasks effectively. Therefore, this article explored the parallels and divergences between planning in sports coaching and PE contexts, encompassing the pedagogical goals and planning structures, alongside opportunities, barriers, remediation strategies, and practical implications potentially transferable to sports coaching. The article highlighted the importance of flexible planning structures to accommodate the nonlinear nature of learning. Specifically, coaching contexts can learn from PE how to plan sessions for athletes with diverse motivations and skill levels, as well as how to design learning tasks that develop psychosocial and psychological skills.

Technostress at workplace: Antecedents, decisions and outcomes (ADO) and future research pathways through a systematic literature review

The COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated the proliferation of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) at the workplace as organisations adopt teleworking, causing stress in employees, termed technostress. The authors aim to conduct an in-depth systematic literature review on technostress by adopting the four- stage “preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses” (PRISMA) protocol for article retrieval and selection. Only technostress-related studies were chosen from peer-reviewed journal articles from two prominent databases: Scopus and Web of Science. We focused on studies published in journals with high rankings to enhance the review quality. We conducted this by selecting only those studies published in journals classified as “A*” and “A” according to the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) journal ranking list. This yielded 73 high-quality studies for the systematic review. The antecedents, decisions, and outcomes (ADO) framework was leveraged to conduct a scientific review. This is one of the pioneering studies to conduct an ADO framework-based technostress review and formally report the Decisions related to the technostress process, namely a) challenge and hindrance technostressors, b) challenge and hindrance coping responses. Research is moving towards studying new technological and non-work life-related antecedents (e.g., cyberbullying) and outcomes (e.g., loneliness). Considering the changing workplace realities after the COVID-19 pandemic, sixteen future research objectives have been put forward based on three research pathways: advancing conceptual robustness, contextual novelty, and methodological rigour. Organisations can leverage insights on key sources, outcomes, and mitigation measures of technostress to develop human resource strategies, as well as training plans to maximise the benefits of their ICT initiatives.

Practice and Match Workload Characteristics of Elite Men’s Ice Hockey

The purpose of this study was to record and present data related to the external workload demand of elite male ice hockey players, in both matches and practices, including the differences between positions, as well as time on ice values for the population. External workload monitoring was performed using a CatapultTMinertial measurement unit system and data was collected for the duration of one full season in the Kontinental Hockey League (Russia). The study found forwards had significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) absolute and relative values in both games and practices for most metrics, when compared to defensemen, and regardless of position, games had significantly higher workload demand than practices. Furthermore, defensemen had significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) time on ice values than forwards. Ice time was not spread evenly between players of the same position, but was consistent for each individual athlete. The findings can be used by coaches to assist in the planning of on-ice training to optimize player performance and readiness.

Research on Recommendation of Core Competencies and Behavioral Indicators of Pilots Based on Collaborative Filtering

This paper proposes a new model of collaborative filtering that introduces a user difference factor to address the issue of less pronounced similarity performance in traditional algorithms. The algorithm is applied to the recommendation of pilots’ core competency behavior indicators to support pilots’ daily training arrangements, improve their core competencies, and ensure civil aviation flight safety. Firstly, based on traditional collaborative filtering methods, a user difference factor is introduced to improve the Pearson similarity calculation model. Secondly, the advantages and disadvantages of collaborative filtering recommendation models were evaluated using various methods such as average absolute error, accuracy, recall, and diversity. Finally, the new model is applied to the recommendation of PLM core competency behavior indicators, providing a recommendation list of different pilot behavior indicators to support their rehabilitation or enhanced training plans and arrangements. The calculation results show that the new model of collaborative filtering demonstrates better advantages, not only reducing the MAE value, but also improving the accuracy, recall, and diversity of the calculation results, providing effective guidance and theoretical support for pilots’ flight training and safe flight.
