Efficacy of rehabilitation physiotherapy combined with brace correction in patients with mild to moderate scoliosis secondary to cerebral palsy.

Scoliosis secondary to cerebral palsy is one of the common complications of cerebral palsy in children with cerebral palsy. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of rehabilitation combined with brace correction in patients with scoliosis secondary to cerebral palsy. A total of 52 patients with scoliosis secondary to cerebral palsy were selected from our hospital from April 2019 to April 2022 and divided into the control group and experimental group according to the statistical randomization method (n= 26 in each group). Control group: mean age (14.28 ± 2.31) years; 16 males and 10 females. Experimental group: average age (14.24 ± 2.35) years; 15 males and 11 females. The control group wore scoliosis orthopedic brace, while the experimental group was treated with rehabilitation manipulation and rehabilitation training (including gymnastic training and weight training) on the basis of the control group for 1 year. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared and observed; the number of degrees of scoliosis (Cobb angle), the angle of vertebral rotation (AVR) and the distance of the parietal vertebrae from the sacral midline (AVT) were compared before and after treatment; the incidence of adverse events during treatment was observed in the two groups. After treatment, both groups showed significant improvement in the overall effectiveness of treatment, Cobb's angle, AVR and AVT compared with those before treatment (P< 0.05). The experimental group had a significantly higher overall effective rate of treatment than the control group (P< 0.05), a significantly smaller Cobb's angle and AVR than the control group (P< 0.05) and a significantly shorter AVT than the control group (P< 0.05). The incidence of adverse events during treatment was lower in both groups and was not significantly different (P> 0.05). The combination of rehabilitation physiotherapy and bracing is effective in optimizing the clinical outcome of patients with scoliosis secondary to cerebral palsy, improving their scoliosis dysfunction and providing a high level of safety in treatment.

THE EFFECTS OF 12 WEEKS BASIC GYMNASTICS EXERCISES ON BODY COMPOSITION AND LIPID PROFILES IN OBESE CHILDREN

Obesity is a major health concern in the world because it is associated with many diseases. It has been shown that basic gymnastics exercises effectively prevent and treat this problem. Therefore, the present study investigated the effect of 12 weeks of basic gymnastics exercises on body composition and lipid profile in obese girls. In this quasi-experimental study, with a design pre-test-post-test and a control group, 30 obese girls with Body Mass Index (BMI) at or above the 95th percentile and the average age of 9.4 years, were selected purposefully and were divided into 2 groups (Basic gymnastics training, and control) randomly. The training protocol was implemented for 12 weeks, three times a week, and 45 minutes for each session incrementally. Body composition and lipid profile indices were measured in two stages: pre-test and post-test. In order to analyze the data, multivariate covariance tests were used. The results of the study showed that the exercise intervention significantly reduced the fat percentage and BMI index in obese children (p≤0.001). In addition, a significant decrease in total cholesterol, triglyceride, and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) and a significant increase in High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) were observed (p≤0.002). These findings indicate the beneficial effects of basic gymnastics training on body composition and lipid profile in obese children. Therefore, the use of basic gymnastics training is recommended to improve these factors.

The Importance of Physical Fitness Parameters in Rhythmic Gymnastics: A Scoping Review.

This scoping review presents an overview of physical fitness parameters in rhythmic gymnastics as well as the association of fitness with gymnasts' performance, competitive level, and age. PubMed, Scopus, and Sport Discus databases were searched. Of the 586 records retrieved, 41 studies met the inclusion criteria (n = 1915 participants). The included studies examined flexibility, aerobic capacity, muscle power, muscle endurance, muscle strength, sprint speed, agility, balance, and coordination. Performance was associated with flexibility, aerobic capacity, lower-limb muscle power, agility, muscular endurance, balance, and coordination from a young age. Flexibility, aerobic capacity, and muscle power were, in general, higher in high-level gymnasts than in low-level gymnasts or controls. Older rhythmic gymnasts demonstrated higher scores than the younger ones in flexibility, aerobic capacity, balance, and sport-specific coordination but not in muscle endurance, while some studies reported a decline in muscle power with age. Supplementary physical fitness training improved all physical abilities irrespective of the gymnasts' level. Rhythmic gymnastics training alone improved muscle power, agility, speed, muscular endurance, and balance to a lesser extent than targeted fitness training. Muscular strength, speed, and agility are largely under-researched in rhythmic gymnastics. Emphasis should be given to targeted strength and power training due to the high mechanical loads placed on skeletally immature athletes.

Post-activation Performance Enhancement of Countermovement Jump after Drop Jump versus Squat Jump Exercises in Elite Rhythmic Gymnasts.

Drop jump (DJ) and squat jump (SJ) exercises are commonly used in rhythmic gymnastics training. However, the acute effects of DJ and SJ on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance have not been investigated. This study aimed to verify the post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) responses induced by DJ and SJ with optimal power load and evaluate the relationship between peak PAPE effects and strength levels. Twenty female rhythmic gymnasts completed the following exercises in a randomized order on three separate days: 6 repetitions of DJs; 6 repetitions of SJs with optimal power load; and no exercise (control condition). Jump height was assessed before (baseline) and at 30 seconds and 3, 6, and 9 minutes after each exercise. DJs significantly improved jump height by 0.8 cm (effect size (ES) = 0.25; P = 0.003) at 30 seconds post-exercise compared with baseline. Jump height significantly decreased by -0.14 cm (ES = -0.61; P = 0.021) at 9 minutes after the control condition. SJs significantly improved jump height by 1.02 cm (ES = 0.36; P = 0.005) at 9 minutes post-exercise compared to the control condition. Jump height and relative back squat one-repetition maximum were positively related after performing DJs (r = 0.63; P = 0.003) and SJs (r = 0.64; P = 0.002). DJ and SJ exercises effectively improved countermovement jump height. DJ improved jump height early, while SJ produced greater potentiation effects later. Athletes with a higher strength level benefited the most from these exercises.

Development of athletes’ motor skills in rhythmic gymnastics at the stage of initial training and preliminary basic training

The basis of the athlete’s success is a high level of proficiency in the technique of the chosen sport, which in turn requires the maximum manifestation of motor skills. One of the most important methodological conditions for improving rational technique is the relationship and interdependence the structure of movements and the level of development of physical qualities. Increasing physical fitness requires a transition to a new level of technical skill and vice versa - a more complete technical skill of an athlete requires reinforcement with appropriate physical fitness. The purpose of the study is to analyze and summarize data on trends in the development of athletes’ motor skills in rhythmic gymnastics at the stage of preliminary basic training. To solve the problems of the study, methods of the theoretical level of knowledge and generalization of practical experience were used. The article outlines the leading physical skills, the development of which ensures successful execution of exercises in rhythmic gymnastics. A number of modern approaches, methods and means of developing motor skills are given. A distinctive feature of modern techniques is the using of auxiliary equipment to increase the effectiveness of exercises. Since the evidence of effectiveness is based only on increasing the characteristics of physical skills and quite a few of them rely on the certainty of their influence on improving the technique of performing exercises, it becomes important and necessary to have scientific justification of ways, which directed to improve the development of motor skills and at the same time to identify a positive impact on the technical training of gymnasts for the opportunity to assert the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed program.

The issue of energy metabolism featues of athletes specializing in virous types of gymnastics

This study examines research conducted by both domestic and international scholars on the training processes of gymnasts across various disciplines. The primary objective is to identify the characteristics of bioenergetic support influencing gymnastic performance. Contemporary research suggests that an athlete's physical capacity is contingent upon several factors, including the nature of motor activity performed during training drills, age, gender, and competitive experience. Statistical analysis demonstrates that drill duration in men's artistic gymnastics ranges from 5 seconds (vault) to 70 seconds (floor exercise), while women's routines vary between 5 seconds (vault) and 90 seconds (balance beam and floor exercise). Callisthenic drills require significantly more time, with duration ranging from 90 seconds (individual events) to 150 seconds (group events). Gymnastic training encompasses a wide age range, typically from 4 to 20 years, most commonly between 9 and 16 years. Notably, many female gymnasts reach their competitive peak during their mid-to-late teens, while males typically peak around 20 years old. The research indicates a proportional increase in training duration and intensity alongside age and competitive level. Studies investigating energy consumption in male artistic gymnasts reveal the highest consumption during floor exercises, followed by vault, still rings, horizontal bar, and parallel bars. Similarly, floor exercise consumes the most energy in women's artistic gymnastics, followed by bars, balance beam, and vault. Furthermore, research suggests that anaerobic energy support dominates during vault, pommel horse, parallel bars, and still rings exercises, while aerobic mechanisms underpin floor exercises and callisthenics. Notably, oxidative metabolism appears to have minimal direct impact on competitive callisthenic performance but plays a crucial role in glycogen conservation during extended, intensive training sessions for elite female gymnasts.

The elderly are a group of individuals who are more than 60 years old and are the final stage of development followed by several gradual changes or commonly called aging. Elderly gymnastics is a series of regular, directed and patterned tone mobility that is followed by the elderly which is carried out with the intention of increasing the functional ability of the body to achieve this goal. In addition to elderly gymnastics activities, deep breathing exercises can also be done to maintain the health of the elderly (Rosmaharani &amp; Noviana, 2022). One of the impacts of dementia that occurs in the elderly is cognitive impairment in the form of decreased memory or senility. In addition, according to (Kurniasari, 2022) the impact of dementia is affecting the communication skills, cognitive, emotional and behavioral abilities of the elderly. Improving the quality of life in the elderly can be done through elderly gymnastics. The purpose of this Community Service is to provide gymnastics training to the elderly in Hamlet III, Pekik Nyaring Village. This community service has been carried out from May 29, 2024 to June 9, 2024. The evaluation of activities is based on pre and post questionnaire data. The results of Community Service show that the elderly have enough knowledge as many as 21 people (70%). After the implementation of the elderly gymnastics, the knowledge became good for 27 people (90%). Conclusion The implementation of gymnastics can improve the quality of life of the elderly.

Effects of Neuromuscular Training on Muscle Architecture, Isometric Force Production, and Stretch-Shortening Cycle Function in Trained Young Female Gymnasts.

Moeskops, S, Oliver, JL, Radnor, JM, Haff, GG, Myer, GD, Ramachandran, AK, Kember, LS, Pedley, JS, and Lloyd, RS. Effects of neuromuscular training on muscle architecture, isometric force production, and stretch-shortening cycle function in trained young female gymnasts. J Strength Cond Res 38(9): 1640-1650, 2024-This study evaluated the effects of a 10-month neuromuscular training (NMT) intervention on muscle architecture, isometric force production, and stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) function. Thirty-seven girls aged 6-12 years were placed into gymnastics + NMT (gNMT; n = 15), gymnastics only (GYM; n = 10), or maturity-matched control (CON; n = 12) groups. The gNMT group followed a 10-month NMT program in addition to gymnastics training, whereas the GYM group only participated in gymnastics training. Isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) and drop jump (DJ) kinetics were measured, in addition to muscle thickness, fascicle length, and pennation angle of the gastrocnemius medialis at baseline and at 4, 7, and 10 months. A 3 × 4 (group × time) repeated-measures ANCOVA (covariate, % predicted adult height) was used to evaluate within-group changes. Significance level was set at p < 0.05. Significant interaction effects were observed in muscle thickness, absolute (PF abs ) and relative peak force (PF rel ) in the IMTP and various DJ variables. The gNMT group demonstrated improvements in muscle thickness, IMTP PF abs and PF rel , and DJ kinetics, most commonly evidenced from 7 months onward. The GYM group's muscle thickness also significantly improved, accompanied by improvements in some DJ kinetics. The CON group did not experience any desirable changes. Overall, NMT elicited positive changes in muscle thickness, PF abs and PF rel , and SSC function to a greater extent than gymnastics training alone or growth and maturation. As most adaptations took 7 months, longer-term NMT programs should be implemented with youth female gymnasts.

Acute inflammatory response following lower-and upper-body Wingate anaerobic test in elite gymnasts in relation to iron status.

Introduction: Artistic gymnastics is one of the most demanding sports disciplines, with the athletes demonstrating extremely high levels of explosive power and strength. Currently, knowledge of the effect of gymnastic training adaptation on exercise-induced inflammatory response is limited. The study aimed to evaluate inflammatory response following lower- and upper-body high-intensity exercise in relation to the iron status in gymnasts and non-athletes. Methods: Fourteen elite male artistic gymnasts (EAG, 20.6 ± 3.3years old) and 14 physically active men (PAM, 19.9 ± 1.0years old) participated in the study. Venous blood samples were taken before and 5min and 60min after two variants of Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT), upper-body and lower-body WAnT. Basal iron metabolism (serum iron and ferritin) and acute responses of selected inflammatory response markers [interleukin (IL) 6, IL-10, and tumour necrosis factor α] were analysed. Results: EAG performed significantly better during upper-body WAnT than PAM regarding relative mean and peak power. The increase in IL-6 levels after upper-body WAnT was higher in EAG than in PAM; the opposite was observed after lower-body WAnT. IL-10 levels were higher in EAG than in PAM, and tumour necrosis factor α levels were higher in PAM than those in EAG only after lower-body WAnT. The changes in IL-10 correlated with baseline serum iron and ferritin in PAM. Discussion: Overall, gymnastic training is associated with the attenuation of iron-dependent post-exercise anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion.

Development and application of health-preserving training methods for ball exercises for young gymnasts aged 8-9

Background and Study Aim. In the context of modern requirements for rhythmic gymnastics training, special attention is given to the development of methodologies for mastering ball exercise techniques with consideration for the health of young gymnasts. The goal of this research is to create specialized exercise complexes that contribute to safe and effective training in ball handling techniques among girls aged 8-9 years, with a focus on their physical health safety." Materials and Methods. The study involved 20 young gymnasts aged 8-9 years, who were part of basic training groups. Over the course of five months (from January to May 2023), the gymnasts performed specially designed exercise complexes aimed at maintaining and improving their technique and physical condition. The girls executed the proposed exercise complexes twice a week (a total of 40 sessions). The effectiveness of the methodologies was assessed through pedagogical testing of the performance of key ball exercises. The following were selected as control exercises: a large roll-over across the hands and chest forward, a large roll-over across the hands and back, an 'eight' forward with a wheeling hand movement, a high throw and catch. All control exercises were performed with both the right and left hand and were evaluated on a 5-point scale. Results. The analysis of the results showed that the proposed methodologies significantly improve the performance of complex elements, such as rolls and ball throws. Progress in performing these elements with the left hand was especially notable. It was found that the greatest difficulties occur when performing sets of exercises with the ball, in particular, large rolls and high throws. The most significant improvement was observed in the scores for the "large roll-over forward with the left hand" test (at p&lt;0.002) and the "figure eight" test with the left hand (at p&lt;0.01). This confirms the effectiveness of specialized exercises in improving the technical preparation of gymnasts. Conclusions. The study confirmed the significance and effectiveness of the application of the developed exercise complexes in rhythmic gymnastics training. It is particularly noteworthy that the implementation of such methods contributes not only to the technical perfection of gymnasts but also to the strengthening of their health. This is an important aspect in the preparation of young gymnasts.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of gymnastics training on flexibility and strength parameters of gymnasts. A total of 48 boys aged 5-7 years participated in this study voluntarily. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups (Experimental group n=24; age, height, weight and BMI 6.21±1.10 years, 114.18±19.98 cm, 22.38±4.09 kg, 15.85±1.59 kg/m², respectively; Control group n=24; age, height, weight and BMI (6.87±0.74 years, 114.18±19.98 cm, 22.38±4.09 kg, 15.90±2.72 kg/m², respectively). Standing Long Jump test (SLJ), Bent Arm Hang (BAH), Sit Ups in 30seconds Cruch (SUC), Sit and Reach Flexibility Test (SRF) and Static Flexibility (SF) tests were applied to the experimental and control groups. The training was applied to the experimental group three days a week for 12 weeks, each time for the duration of 90 minutes. A two-way Repeated Measure ANOVA (2×2) was used to test for interactions and main effects for time (pre-test vs. post-test) and group (experimental vs. control) on the dependent physical performance variables. Results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the TSC and SR values of the experimental group from pre to post-tests (p&lt;0.01, d=0.95, p&lt;0.01, d=0.75, respectively). There were no significant differences in other parameters. According to post-test group difference results, experimental group participants performed better than those in the control group in terms of BAH, SUC, SLJ and SRF values (p&lt;0.02, d=0.780; p&lt;0.04, d=0.614; p&lt;0.00, d=2.11 respectively). As a conclusion, gymnastic training program significantly improved strength and flexibility of gymnasts aged 5-7 years.

The effects of aerobic gymnastics training on performance-related variables in an elite athlete: a 2-year follow-up study.

This study investigates individual performance adaptations on 2years of training between European Aerobics Championships. An elite, 22-year-old aerobic gymnast performed postural coordination test, Y-Balance test, squat and countermovement jumps, 60s test of repeated jumps, an isokinetic leg muscle strength test, and the Wingate test. Postural stability and flexibility improved in terms of increased distance achieved in the Y-Balance test in the anterior (by 6.3%), posteromedial (by 2%), and posterolateral (by 4.8%) directions. Lower limb muscular endurance also increased, which can be corroborated by a reduced fatigue index in the 60s test of repeated jumps (from 42% to 27% after the 1st and to 22% after the 2nd year of training). In addition, mean power increased during dominant (by 23.2% at 60°/s and by 18.5% at 180°/s) and non-dominant leg extension (by 4.9% at 180°/s and by 15.5% at 300°/s), plus dominant leg flexion (by 2.0% at 60°/s and by 6.9% at 300°/s). Similarly, peak torque/body weight ratio increased during dominant (by 24.9% at 60°/s, by 11.5% at 180°/s, and by 2.1% at 300°/s) and non-dominant leg extension (by 0.5% at 60°/s and by 6.4% at 300°/s), plus dominant leg flexion (by 1.7% at 60°/s and by 5.4% at 300°/s). However, 2years of training failed to show any significant improvements in the explosive power of lower limbs and anaerobic performance. These findings indicate that general aerobic gymnastics training without any specific inputs leads to performance adaptation, namely, in abilities closely related to competition routine (dynamic balance and strength endurance of lower limbs).

The long-term intensive gymnastic training influences functional stability and integration: A resting-state fMRI study

IntroductionLong-term motor skill training has been shown to induce anatomical and functional neuroplasticity. World class gymnasts (WCGs) provide a unique opportunity to investigate the effect of long-term intensive training on neuroplasticity. Previous resting-state fMRI studies have demonstrated a high efficient information processing related to motor and cognitive functions in gymnasts compared with healthy controls (HCs). However, most research treated brain signals as static, overlooking the fact that the brain is a complex and dynamic system. In this study, we employed functional stability, a new metric based on dynamic functional connectivity (FC), to examine the impact of long-term intensive training on the functional architecture in the WCGs. MethodsWe first conducted a voxel-wise analysis of functional stability between the WCGs and HCs. Then, we applied FC density (FCD) to explore whether regions with modified functional stability were also accompanied by changes in connection patterns in the WCGs. We identified overlapping regions showing significant differences in both functional stability and FCD. Finally, we applied seed-based correlation analysis (SCA) to determine the detailed changes in connection patterns between the WCGs and HCs within these overlapping regions. ResultsCompared with the HCs, the WCGs exhibited higher functional stability in the bilateral angular gyrus (AG), bilateral inferior temporal gyrus (ITG), bilateral precentral gyrus, and right superior frontal gyrus and lower functional stability in the bilateral hippocampus, bilateral caudate, right rolandic operculum, left superior temporal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, right middle cingular cortex, and right precuneus than the HCs. We found that the bilateral AG and ITG not only showed higher functional stability but also increased global and long-range FCD in the WCGs relative to the HCs. The right precuneus displayed lower functional stability as well as decreased local, long-range, and global FCD in the WCGs. Both AG and ITG showed higher FC with regions in the default mode network (DMN) in the WCGs than in the HCs. ConclusionsThe increased functional stability in the AG and ITG might be associated with enhanced functional integration within the DMN in the WCGs. These findings may offer new spatiotemporal evidence for the impact of long-term intensive training on neuroplasticity.

Correction of student’s psycho-emotional state using athletic gymnastics

The psycho- emotional state is one of the main factors affecting a person's life, as it can lead to both an increase in tone and a decline in vitality. The general psycho-emotional state consists of many factors, including well-being, activity and mood. An active movement regime accelerates the process of acquiring psychological stability and adaptation to professional activity, significantly improves the general condition and well-being of a person, and increases his work capacity and the ability to resist fatigue. All this allows us to believe that the development and substantiation of pedagogical conditions, the system of athletic gymnastics tools for the program of correction of the psycho-emotional state of student youth before educational activities is a modern and relevant research. The purpose of the study: to theoretically substantiate and empirically investigate the psycho-emotional state of student youth, to develop and implement a method of training in athletic gymnastics aimed at correcting a negative psycho-emotional state. Methodology: The research was conducted in two stages. At the 1st stage, research methods were used to solve the tasks: psychological and pedagogical observation - with the aim of finding out the motivation of student youth to achieve success in activities; survey; methods of psychological diagnosis "Self-assessment of mental states" by H. Eysenka - to determine indicators of students' mental states (anxiety, frustration, aggressiveness, rigidity); the method of research of emotional intelligence of N. Hall - to determine indicators and level of development of emotional intelligence among student youth. At the II stage, the following methods were used: questionnaires; anthropometric measurements; medical and pedagogical observation (pulsometry, tonometry, functional tests); movement test methods, N. Hall's emotional intelligence research method, and the Hot Iron strength gymnastics method. Conclusions. The conducted research makes it possible to state that the proposed method of psycho-emotional correction of negative states of student youth using cardio-strength training proved to be effective both in improving the psycho-emotional state and in physical training and in indicators of functional state, contributes to the formation of a healthy lifestyle, increases motivation for physical education.

Effects of Joint Gymnastics Exercise Intervention on Improving Functional Ability of the Elderly

Background: The elderly experience changes in the musculoskeletal system in the form of joint disorders that attack the joints and supporting tissue structures around the joints causing pain, loss of physical function, and disability. This requires management to reduce joint pain and improve muscle movement, function, strength, and endurance using joint gymnastics/rheumatism. The purpose of this study was to improve the ability of physical functioning in the elderly. Methods: Quasi-experimental research with pre-post test design. The number of samples was 42 elderly people. This study measured the ability of physical function in the elderly. The research instrument used the KOOS (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed ranks test. Results: Research shows the majority of respondents are &gt; 59 years old, and the majority are women (62.2%). There was an increase in knowledge with an increase in score of 2.19 and functional ability with an increase of 21.71 which was described in 4 sections, namely for pain score increased by 7.59, sign and symptom score increased by 7.09, ADL score increased by 2.76 and quality of life score increased by 4.26. There was a significant effect (p = 0.000) of joint gymnastics training interventions on improving knowledge and functional abilities. Conclusion: There is an effect of joint gymnastics exercise interventions on improving knowledge and functional abilities. Suggestion: the application of joint gymnastics exercises is needed as an additional intervention in the community and to improve functional ability in the elderly.
