Training During the COVID-19 Lockdown: Knowledge, Beliefs, and Practices of 12,526 Athletes from 142 Countries and Six Continents
2021
Abstract Objective Our objective was to explore the training-related knowledge, beliefs, and practices of athletes and the influence of lockdowns in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Methods Athletes (n = 12,526, comprising 13% world class, 21% international, 36% national, 24% state, and 6% recreational) completed an online survey that was available from 17 May to 5 July 2020 and explored their training behaviors (training knowledge, beliefs/attitudes, and practices), including specific questions on their training intensity, frequency, and session duration before and during lockdown (March–Jun…
Load Monitoring Practice in Elite Women Association Football
2021
The description of current load monitoring practices may serve to highlight developmental needs for both the training ground, academia and related industries. While previous studies described these practices in elite men's football, no study has provided an overview of load monitoring practices in elite women's football. Given the clear organizational differences (i.e., professionalization and infrastructure) between men's and women's clubs, making inferences based on men's data is not appropriate. Therefore, this study aims to provide a first overview of the current load monitoring practices in elite women's football. Twenty-two elite European women's football clubs participated in a close…
Redzes treniņu iedarbība uz tuvuma redzes uzdevumiem
2017
Bakalaura darbs “Redzes treniņu iedarība uz tuvuma redzes uzdevumiem” ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 34 lapām. Tas satur 17 attēlus un 32 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. MĒRĶIS: Šī pētījuma mērķis ir novērtēt redzes treniņu efektivitāti cilvēkiem, kuri sūdzas par tuvuma slodzes radītu redzes stresu. METODE: Pētījums tika veikts Itālijā 23 cilvēkiem ar tuvredzību - biroja darbiniekiem, vecumā no 25 līdz 35 gadiem (15 sievietēm un 8 vīriešiem). Treniņu ilgums bija 3 mēneši un tas ietvēra virkni vingrinājumu akomodācijas elstībai un sakāžu skaita uzlabošanai. SECINĀJUMI: redzes asums, kā arī akomodācijas/verģences sistēmas darbība būtiski uzlabojās pēc redzes treniņiem. ATSLĒGVĀRDS: akomodācij…
EPA-0424 – Impact of cognitive traning with cognitrain system on cognitive plasticity in schizophrenic patients
2014
Background In the literature we can find an increasing number of examples of successful cognitive rehabilitation of patients suffering from schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and impact of the CogniTrain therapeutic method on cognitive neuroplasticity in patients suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. We expected an answer to the question, whether brain is sensitive to stress and if the efficiency of cognitive rehabilitation improves as a result of using CogniTrain computer training. Subjects and methods Two groups of test subjects were recruited of patients with paranoid schizophrenia. In the first and second groups the measurements of short-term memo…
Child behavior and mother-child emotional availability in response to parent training program: moderators of outcome
2010
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess changes in child behavior and mother-child emotional availability after mother's participation in a parent training program, and to assess the role of various factors which might explain individual variability in these changes. After mothers had participated in the parent training program they reported less child externalizing behavior problems and less child internalizing behavior problems. The child's preschool teacher also reported decreased child externalizing problems during the post-training assessment measure. Observational measures showed increased mother-child emotional availability. Post-training behavioral differences were found depend…
Scaffolding for motivation by parents, and child homework motivations and emotions: Effects of a training programme
2018
Background and aims Based on the principles of scaffolding for motivation and on the assumptions of self-determination theory, two studies aimed to assess the role played by perceived parental autonomy-supportive scaffolding on child homework autonomous motivation, self-efficacy, affect, and engagement. Samples and results The results of Study 1, which involved 122 parents and their children, showed that the higher the parental autonomous motivation, the more their children perceived them as autonomy-supportive while scaffolding for motivation, and hence developed autonomous motivation, self-efficacy, and engagement in homework. In Study 2, 37 parents were involved in a four-session trainin…
DEVELOPMENT OF A HOME-BASED TRAINING PROGRAM FOR PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON DISEASE: NEUROBIOLOGICAL AND MOTOR SKILLS EFFECT
2022
Neurodegenerative diseases are inherited diseases of the central nervous system, which cause progressive damage to specific populations of neurons and lead to a deterioration in the quality of life (1,2). Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and is the second most common after AD, and is characterized by postural instability, tremor and rigidity. Moreover, physical activity can reduces risk of other geriatric diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, which may also contribute to PD pathogenesis (3). We enrolled 12 subjects (age: 62.74 ± 4.94; height: 175,5cm ± 7,41 cm; weight: 75,5 ± 17,95 kg) affected by PD. An home-based…
Manual segmentation qualification platform for the EADC-ADNI harmonized protocol for hippocampal segmentation project
2015
The use of hippocampal volumetry as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires that tracers from different laboratories comply with the same segmentation method. Here we present a platform for training and qualifying new tracers to perform the manual segmentation of the hippocampus on magnetic resonance images (MRI) following the European Alzheimer's Disease Consortium and Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (EADC-ADNI) Harmonized Protocol (HarP). Our objective was to demonstrate that the training process embedded in the platform leads to increased compliance and qualification with the HarP.Thirteen new tracers' segmentations were compared with benchmark images with respect t…
A human factors intervention in a hospital - evaluating the outcome of a TeamSTEPPS program in a surgical ward
2021
AbstractBackgroundPatient safety in hospitals is being jeopardized, since too many patients experience adverse events. Most of these adverse events arise from human factors, such as inefficient teamwork and communication failures, and the incidence of adverse events is greatest in the surgical area. Previous research has shown the effect of team training on patient safety culture and on different areas of teamwork. Limited research has investigated teamwork in surgical wards. The aim of this study was to evaluate the professional and organizational outcomes of a team training intervention among healthcare professionals in a surgical ward after 6 and 12 months. Systems Engineering Initiative…
Muscle training for bone strength
2006
The main function of bone is to provide the mechanical integrity for locomotion and protection; accordingly, bone mass and architecture are adjusted to control the strains produced by mechanical load and muscular activity. Age-related patterns involve peak bone mass during growth, a plateau in adulthood, and bone loss during aging. The decline in bone mass and structural integrity results in increased risk of fractures, particularly in post-menopausal women. Athletes competing in strength and power events, such as weight-lifting and jumping, have superior bone mass and structure compared with their untrained counterparts in all age groups. Exercise seems to be most effective during rapid gr…
