Effect of a HIIT protocol on the lower limb muscle power, ankle dorsiflexion and dynamic balance in a sedentary type 1 diabetes mellitus population: a pilot study.
Background Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is commonly associated with premature loss of muscle function, ankle dorsiflexion and dynamic balance. Those impairments, usually, lead to physical functionality deterioration. High-intensity interval training is an efficient and safety methodology since it prevents hypoglycemia and not requires much time, which are the main barriers for this population to practice exercise and increase physical conditioning. We hypothesized that a 6-week HIIT program performed on a cycle ergometer would increase lower limb muscle power, ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and dynamic balance without hypoglycemic situations. Methods A total of 19 diagnosed T1DM sub…
Efectos del uso de dispositivos de realidad virtual sobre el control postural y el cybersickness en jóvenes universitarios
espanolEl objetivo principal de este estudio fue analizar los efectos de jugar con sistemas de realidad virtual sobre el control postural y el cybersickness. La muestra del estudio estaba compuesta por 21 sujetos de 18 a 30 anos de edad. Todos los sujetos jugaron con un dispositivo de realidad virtual durante 30 minutos. Ademas, todos los sujetos realizaron dos pretest (30 minutos e inmediatamente antes de la prueba) y dos postest (inmediatamente y 30 minutos despues de la prueba). El control postural estatico con ojos abiertos y cerrados y el cybersickness fueron evaluados en todas las pruebas. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas entre el pretest 2 y el postest 1 en tres de…
The predictive power of game-related statistics for the final result under the rule changes introduced in the men’s world water polo championship: a classification-tree approach
The objectives of this study were (i) to compare water polo game-related statistics by match outcome (winning and losing teams) after the application of the new rules, and (ii) to develop a classif...
Effects of Rule Changes on Game-Related Statistics in Men's Water Polo Matches
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rule changes on game-related statistics in men's water polo matches. A total of 856 men's matches played in all Olympic Games and World Championship since 1936 was analysed. The game-related statistics considered were: total goals, winners' goals, losers' goals, goals per minute, goals difference, relationship difference goals and total goals, and relationship difference goals and winners' goals. The rule changes were grouped by structural (game and period) and functional changes (possession time, exclusion time, timing, minimum distance to take a direct shot). Differences between rule changes were determined using a one-way ANOVA. In …
Physical Activity and Exercise: Text Mining Analysis
It is currently difficult to have a global state of the art vision of certain scientific topics. In the field of physical activity (PA) and exercise, this is due to information overload. The present study aims to provide a solution by analysing a large mass of scientific articles using text mining (TM). The purpose was to analyse what is being investigated in the PA health field on young people from primary, secondary and higher education. Titles and abstracts published in the Web of Science (WOS) database were analysed using TM on 24 November 2020, and after removing duplicates, 85,368 remained. The results show 9960 (unique) words and the most frequently used bi-grams and tri-grams. A co-…
Water polo game-related statistics in women’s international championships as a function of final score differences
The aims of this study were: (i) to compare water polo game-related statistics by context (winning and losing teams) and final score differences (using three categories – “close” games, “unbalanced...
