The accuracy of shooting petanque iron balls: Effectiveness of resistance band training

Background Problems: There is an integration of strategy, calmness, and accuracy in petanque. Various training forms focus on several parts of the arm muscles to increase the stability of the arm muscles and the ability to throw the ball on target, however, no one has developed a training method that can enhance both accuracy and muscular strength. Research Objectives: This research aims to determine the effect of resistance band exercises on shooting accuracy in petanque athletes. Methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest approach and a control group design. The research subjects were divided into two groups (experimental and control) and given different treatments. The total number of research subjects consisted of 40 athletes with an average age of 21.43 ± 2.48, a weight 56.07 ± 2.33, a height 170.41 ± 5.12, and a BMI 19.86 ± 2.56. Data analysis was tested using a one-way ANOVA to compare the two groups. Findings and Results: The research results indicated that resistance band exercises for 16 weeks had a positive and statistically significant impact on increasing shooting accuracy in the experimental group compared to the control group in petanque athletes. Thus, this research has provided evidence and recommendations for athletes and coaches that specific recommendations to improve throwing accuracy in petanque must be added with the contribution of strength training with resistance bands. Conclusion: The combination of resistance bands with other forms of accuracy training is also recommended for further research so that options for implementing strength training related to throwing accuracy become more varied to help improve petanque performance. This study can be used as a starting point for training variations that are documented in the literature, which can help coaches and athletes develop skills-related fitness components for the purpose of improving shooting accuracy capabilities in petanque.

Effects of different strength and velocity training programs on physical performance in youth futsal players

Futsal is a high intensity team sport with intermittent actions of short duration, so it is necessary to include different training strategies to improve explosive actions. There is a gap in the scientific literature regarding training programs that improve the performance of young futsal players. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different strength and velocity training programs on lower body physical performance in youth futsal players. Forty-two youth futsal players were divided into control group (CG, n = 14) and a strength intervention group (SG, n = 14), which included a weekly session for 8 weeks of eccentric strength training, plyometrics and core strengthening, and a velocity intervention group (VG, n = 14), which included a weekly session during 8 weeks of training with linear speed exercises and with change of direction, accelerations with resistance bands and core strengthening. SG significantly improved horizontal jump (HJ) (p:0.02), V-CUT (p:0.91) and change of direction deficit (CODD) (p:0.01). VG showed significant improvements in HJ (p:0.01), in 25 m sprint (p:0.01), in total repeated sprint ability time (p:0.01), in V-CUT (p:0.01) and in CODD (p:0.01). SG showed significant intergroup differences (p:0.01) in COD variables with respect to CG and VG. In conclusion, SG and VG showed significant improvements in lower body performance variables in youth futsal players. In addition, the SG has substantial changes in COD compared to the other two groups, so it has a greater effect.

Effectiveness of Resistance Band Use in Conjunction With Tai Chi Among Older Adults With Prefrailty to Improve Functional Fitness, Quality of Life, and Heart Rate Variability.

The current randomized controlled trial aimed to bolster the physical fitness of prefrail older adults, potentially delaying their need for admission to care facilities and enhancing their overall well-being. The experimental group received a physical fitness intervention comprising resistance band use and tai chi three times per week for 12 weeks, whereas the control group received frailty-related health education. Thirty-four male participants completed the study. A total of seven items had statistically significant differences at 12- and 16-week posttest, respectively: frailty index (p = 0.03; p = 0.03); Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (p < 0.001; p < 0.001); and physical fitness, back (p < 0.001; p < 0.001); physical fitness, arm curl (p = 0.02; p < 0.001); physical activity (p < 0.001; p = 0.009); quality of life, physiological (p = 0.04; p < 0.001); and heart rate variability (p < 0.001; p < 0.001). Results revealed substantial improvements in physical fitness, frailty conditions, self-care abilities, and quality of life, but not balance or lower limb flexibility, for the experimental group. Therefore, exercise interventions may effectively improve prefrail older adults' quality of life. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 50(5), 19-26.].

Strength and Conditioning in the Young Athlete for Long-Term Athletic Development.

The safety and efficacy of youth strength and conditioning programs depend on proper instruction, coaching, and supervision. Types of training include bodyweight strengthening, resistance bands, medicine balls and weights, agility, plyometrics, and cardiovascular exercise. These should be preceded by a proper warm up using a combination of static stretching, self-myofascial release, dynamic warm-ups, and sport-specific warm-ups. Coaches and trainers should consider the athlete's age, maturity level, cognitive ability, puberty status, sport volume, and readiness levels in designing and supervising strength and conditioning programs. This review article covers the latest evidence supporting training to improve movement skills and promote long-term athletic development, while also preventing injury, for young athletes.

Sulfur and chloride co-doped g-C3N4 in photocatalytic peroxymonosulfate activation for enhanced acetaminophen removal: Combination of experiments and DFT calculations

As a green photocatalyst with simple synthesis method, excellent electronic structure, and metal-free properties, the deficiencies of pristine graphitic carbon nitride, such as high electron transfer resistance and narrow energy band gap, inhibit its photocatalytic activity to some extent. In this paper, we synthesized a sulfur and chlorine co-doped g-C3N4 (SCl-CN) capable of efficient photocatalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by calcining a mixture of ammonium chloride and thiourea. By means of DFT calculation, the contribution of sulfur and chlorine to photogenic electron hole separation was discussed. The electrostatic potential of SCl-CN and the adsorption model between SCl-CN and PMS were deduced, and the activation mechanism of PMS was further analyzed. According to the calculated results, the incorporation of sulfur and chlorine tuned the electronic configuration of the material and intensified the interactions between SCl-CN and PMS. It is shown that free and non-free radicals act simultaneously in the SCl-CN/PMS/Vis system. This study provides a new idea for the study of photocatalytic activation of PMS by non-metallic co-doped carbon nitride.

Creatine supplementation and resistance training to preserve muscle mass and attenuate cancer progression (CREATINE-52): a protocol for a double-blind randomized controlled trial

BackgroundMuscle mass is important for metastatic prostate cancer survival and quality of life (QoL). The backbone of treatment for men with metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with an androgen signaling inhibitor. ADT is an effective cancer treatment, but it facilitates significant declines in muscle mass and adverse health outcomes important to mCSPC survivors, such as fatigue, and reductions in physical function, independence, insulin sensitivity, and QoL. In non-metastatic CSPC survivors, resistance training (RT) preserves muscle mass and improves these related health outcomes, but the biggest barrier to RT in CSPC survivors of all stages is fatigue. Creatine monohydrate supplementation coupled with RT (Cr + RT) may address this barrier since creatine plays a critical role in energy metabolism. Cr + RT in cancer-free older adults and other clinical populations improves muscle mass and related health outcomes. Evidence also suggests that creatine supplementation can complement cancer treatment. Thus, Cr + RT is a strategy that addresses gaps in survivorship needs of people with mCSPC. The purpose of this parallel, double-blind randomized controlled trial is to test the effects of 52-weeks of Cr + RT compared with placebo (PLA) and RT (PLA + RT) on muscle mass, other related health outcomes, and markers of cancer progression.MethodsWe will carry out this trial with our team’s established, effective, home-based, telehealth RT program in 200 mCSPC survivors receiving ADT, and evaluate outcomes at baseline, 24-, and 52-weeks. RT will occur twice weekly with elastic resistance bands, and an established creatine supplementation protocol will be used for supplementation delivery. Our approach addresses a major facilitator to RT in mCSPC survivors, a home-based RT program, while utilizing a supervised model for safety.DiscussionFindings will improve delivery of comprehensive survivorship care by providing a multicomponent, patient-centered lifestyle strategy to preserve muscle mass, improve health outcomes, and complement cancer treatment (NCT06112990).

Effects of Ankle Position While Performing One- and Two-Leg Floor Bridging Exercises on Core and Lower Extremity Muscle Recruitment.

Given there are no known studies which have examined multiple lower extremity muscles between different ankle positions during bridging activities, the objective was to assess how employing two different ankle positions (PF versus DF) while performing five common bridging exercises (three bipedal and two unipedal) used in rehabilitation and athletic performance affect core and select lower extremity muscle EMG recruitment. Twenty healthy subjects performed a 5 s isometric hold during five two- and one-leg bridge exercises: (1) on right leg with left knee to chest (1LB-LFlex); (2) on right leg with left knee extended (1LB-LExt); (3) standard two-leg bridge (2LB); (4) two-leg bridge with resistance band around knees (2LB-ABD); and (5) two-leg bridge with ball between knees (2LB-ADD). Surface electromyographic (EMG) data were collected using a Noraxon Telemyo Direct Transmission System from fourteen muscles: (1) three superficial quadriceps (VM, VL, and RF); (2) three hip abductors (TFL, GMED, and GMAX); (3) medial hamstrings (ST) and lateral hamstrings (BF); (4) hip adductors (ADD); (5) erector spinae (ES); (6) latissimus dorsi (LATS); (7) upper rectus abdominis (RA); and (8) external oblique (EO) and internal oblique (IO). EMG data were normalized by maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs). A paired t-test (p < 0.01) was used to assess differences in normalized mean EMG activities between DF and PF for each exercise. EMG activities were significantly greater in DF than PF for the (a) VM, VL, and RF during 1LB-LFlex; (b) ADD during 1LB-LFlex, 1LB-LExt; (c) EO during 1LB-LFlex; and (d) IO during 1LB-LFex. In contrast, EMG activities were significantly greater in PF than DF for ST and BF during all five bridge exercises. Bridging with PF (feet flat) was most effective in recruiting the hamstrings, while bridging with DF (feet up) was most effective in recruiting the quadriceps, hip adductors, and internal and external obliques.

Effects of Warm-Ups with Weighted Vests and Resistance Bands on Physical Fitness and Combat Ability of Kumite Karate Athletes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a dynamic warm-up either with weighted vests (WVs) or with resistance bands (RBs) may enhance the physical fitness and combat ability of kumite karate athletes. Nine male athletes (age range from 16 to 30 years), participated in this study. Athletes followed three different warm-up programs in a randomized order: (a) with their body mass only (C), (b) with a WV of 10% load of their body mass and (c) with a wearable RB of 10% tension of their body mass. Following the warm-up, athletes performed the following tests: countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump (LJ), punch and kick reaction time, bench press throws, T-Half test and the kick frequency test. CMJ remained unaltered following the WV and RB warm-up compared to the C. Standing long jump increased significantly following the RB warm-up compared to the C (2.2 ± 1.7%, p = 0.011). Punch reaction time was significantly shortened following the RB warm-up compared to C (-7.3 ± 5.9%, p = 0.019). No changes were observed for kick reaction time, bench press throws or the T-Half test. The kick decrement index, measured from the kick frequency test, was significantly decreased following the RB warm-up compared to the C (33.1 ± 20.2%, p = 0.011). These results suggest that an RB warm-up may significantly enhance the physical fitness and combat ability in kumite karate athletes.

EFFECT OF RESISTANCE TRAINING THROUGH IN-PERSON AND TELECONFERENCING SESSIONS IN REHABILITATION OF ACUTE STROKE PATIENTS.

To determine whether application of a strength training regimen yields measurable results on stroke survivors and compare different methods for the proposed intervention. Ninety stroke patients were recruited from the neurological clinic of a local third-level clinic. Sixty patients participated in a strength training regimen with trainings taking place 3 times a week for 12 weeks with the use of resistance bands. Thirty of these patients were given face-to-face sessions and 30 patients were given trainings through an on-line platform. The last 30 patients who comprised the control group only followed usual care after the stroke. The applied strength regimen had a statistically significant effect on Visual Analog Scale scores of stroke patients who received it (p = 0.009), as well as in the teleconferencing group (p = 0.004). The measured arteriovenous oxygen difference was elevated for stroke patients who received the intervention as a whole (p = 0.007). Patients who were trained in person and the ones who were trained via teleconferencing yielded similar results as evaluated through the VAS index. Administration of strength training 3 times weekly for 12 weeks to stroke patients yielded measurable results in terms of general function and quality of life.

The effects of workplace intervention programs to manage work-related musculoskeletal pain among poultry slaughterhouse workers: A randomized controlled trial

Background: The prevalence rate of work-related musculoskeletal pain (WMSP) among poultry slaughterhouse workers (PSW) has been reported in the shoulder, arm, and hand due to the involvement of repetitive and forceful upper limb movements. An intervention program is needed to reduce upper limb pain and improve upper limb functions among PSW. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of workplace intervention programs on musculoskeletal pain, upper limb functions, and work ability among PSW. Materials and methods: A total of 48 participants (21 males and 27 females) who met the inclusion criteria were recruited into the study. The participants were allocated into two groups: The workplace intervention group (WIG, N=24; 10 males; 14 females) and the control group (CG, N=24; 11 males; 13 females). The WIG performed the exercise training with elastic resistance bands (ERB) and stretching exercises for eight weeks, and the CG did not perform any activity. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), shoulder reach flexibility test, active range of motion (AROM), the disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (KKU-DASH), and Thai Work Ability Index (Thai WAI) were used as outcome evaluations. The two-way analyses of variance (ANOVAs) with repeated measures (group x time) were used for statistical analyses, and the statistical significance was set at p&lt;0.05. Results: Approximately 79.1% (N=19) of the participants in WIG reported significantly decreased pain intensity of upper limb 3.06 (0.83 to -5.4) in the right side (p&lt;0.01) and 1.96 (1.6 to -5.6) in the left side (p&lt;0.001) after the 8-week intervention. Meanwhile, shoulder flexibility in WIG significantly increased (p&lt;0.001) to around 3.55 cm. (0.67 to 8.20) on the right side and 5.61 cm. (2.0 to 10.67) on the left side. For AROM in WIG, neck flexion, lateral neck flexion, neck rotation, and left shoulder flexion significantly increased (p&lt;0.05), as well as KKU-DASH and Thai WAI scores (p&lt;0.001). There was no significant difference within-group in all variables in CG. Conclusion: The workplace intervention program significantly reduced upper limb pain and increased neck movement and shoulder flexion among PSW. The training programs also improved work ability and reduced disability with upper extremity musculoskeletal conditions among PSW.

Applying elastic resistance bands for gait training: A simulation-based study to determine how band configuration affects gait biomechanics and muscle activation

BackgroundWearable robotic exoskeletons and leg braces are desirable for gait rehabilitation because they can apply loads directly to an affected joint. Yet, they are not widely used in clinics because they are costly and complex to set up. Conversely, tethered devices, such as elastic resistance bands, are widely available in clinics, are low-cost, and are quick to set up. However, resistance bands will affect walking differently based on how they are configured to pull on the leg (e.g., pulling forward or backward). Research questionHow can a resistance band be configured to alter muscle activation and gait biomechanics based on the segment it is attached to and the angle with which it attaches? MethodsWe used an open-source musculoskeletal modeling platform to emulate several configurations of an elastic band pulling on the ankle, calf, and thigh at various angles during non-pathological walking. We evaluated gait biomechanics and simulated muscle activation using computed muscle control (CMC) and identified a subset of four configurations with potential applications for gait training. Eight non-pathological participants then walked on a treadmill under these configurations to verify how these configurations altered muscle activation. ResultsWe found that muscle activity greatly varied based on the location where the elastic band is attached and the angle with which the elastic band pulls on the leg. Notably, specific angles can be used to pull on the legs to elicit an increase or decrease in muscle activation. SignificanceThis study provides insight into how tethered devices can be configured to provide assistance or resistance during gait training. This information can be applied when developing low-cost gait training solutions for addressing individuals’ impairments.

Comparative analysis of standard and contrast elastic resistance band training effects on physical fitness in female adolescent handball players.

This study aimed to compare the effects of two elastic band 10-week training programmes on the athletic performance in adolescent female handball players. Participants aged 16.0 ± 0.5 years were randomly assigned to control (CNT, n = 12), standard elastic band (SEB, n = 12), or contrast elastic band (CEB, n = 12) programmes, each performed twice a week supplementing the regular training. The sprint (10 m and 20 m), modified Illinois change-of-direction test (COD), squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump (SLJ), back extensor strength (BES), medicine ball throw (MBT), 1-RM bench press, 1-RM half squat, repeated sprint ability, and force-velocity (F-V) tests were measured before and after the intervention. Both CEB and SEB similarly improved sprint (p < 0.01 and p < 0.01) and COD (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01) when compared to CNT. Jumping performance improved significantly (SJ p < 0.01; CMJ p < 0.05) only in CEB, compared to CNT. Strength improved in both experimental groups (p < 0.01; ES: 0.73 < d < 1.59) compared to CNT, and there was a greater increase for CEB than SEB (p < 0.05) in the medicine ball throw (Table 3). Both CEB and SEB increased all RSA scores compared to CNT (p < 0.01; ES: 0.10 < d < 1.22), without significant difference between them. All F-V scores increased significantly in CEB and SEB compared to CNT (p < 0.01; ES: 0.45 < d < 2.47). In addition, CEB showed substantial gains in performance for PPabs, PPrel, and F0 (p < 0.001, p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively) compared to SEB. Ten-week elastic band training conducted within the competitive season improved limb strength, power and F-V profile in female handball players, with a superior effect of the contrast elastic band training mode for upper-limb strength and F-V characteristics.

Ab. No. 170 Impact of Dynamic Postural Exercises on Electromyographic Activity, Co-Contraction and Joint Position Sense in Upper Cross Syndrome: A Pilot Study

Introduction: A greater prevalence with no strong rehabilitation program for Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS) accompanied the purpose to find out the efficacy of dynamic postural exercise developed on the basis of identification of muscle activation pattern in UCS.This will help in effective management of patients suffering from UCS. Methods: 14 subjects with diagnosed UCS were randomly allocated to experimental and control groups (N=14; n=7). Participants were asked to perform 4 exercises (YTWL) using elastic resistance band during which amplitude of muscle activation and cocontraction ratio with Surface electrodes using 4 channel electromyographic system were measured.12 muscles of both side (Upper, middle and lower trapezius, serratus anterior, pectoralis major, anterior scalene) were assessed. The intervention of experimental group consisted of seven exercises. Both groups were given hot pack, TENS and cervical AROM exercises. The intervention was prescribed for three days a week for 8 weeks. Cervical kinesthesia was measured using joint position sense error (JPSE) test. All the outcome variables were recorded at the baseline and after 8 weeks. Result: Statistically significant difference (p≤0.05) of mean amplitude in pre-post values of experimental group as well as between group were found. Between group analysis of UT:LT, SC:AS contraction ratio and joint position sense also found to be significant(p≤0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant improvement in mean amplitude and cocontraction of cervicothoracic muscles in Dynamic Postural Exercise group. Kinesthesia also improved in experimental group. Implications: A focused rehabilitation program for UCS will help in improving the quality of life and functional efficacy.

Resistance band training with functional electrical stimulation improves force control capabilities in older adults: a preliminary study.

Resistance band training (RBT) with functional electrical stimulation (FES) may be an effective exercise regimen for improving age-related motor impairments. This preliminary study investigated the potential effects of bimanual RBT with FES on upper limb motor functions in older adults. This study randomly assigned 22 elderly people to the bimanual RBT with FES (Bi-RBT+FES) group and the RBT without FES (Bi-RBT) group. All participants performed isometric hand-grip force control tasks in unimanual (dominant and non-dominant) and bimanual conditions before and after four weeks of exercise for each group. We quantified the mean force, force accuracy, force variability, and force regularity at two targeted force levels (i.e., 10 % and 40 % of maximum voluntary contraction; MVC) to estimate changes in force control capabilities. The results revealed that the Bi-RBT+FES group demonstrated a greater force accuracy in the dominant hand at 10 % of MVC after training. Non-dominant hands in the Bi-RBT+FES group increased force accuracy at 40 % of MVC and reduced force variability collapsed across two targeted force levels. Both groups showed a decrease in force regularity after training. These preliminary results indicate that Bi-RBT+FES may be a viable option to facilitate functional recovery of the upper limbs in older adults.
