Percentile values of the standing broad jump in children and adolescents aged 6-18 years old
2020
The standing broad jump (SBJ) is a valid, reliable and feasible field-based test, which can evaluate explosive strength of the lower limbs and physical fitness. This study aimed to provide normative data for the SBJ for male and female children and adolescents and describe differences in performance between age groups and genders. A total number of 2140 children and adolescents, sampled in seven European nations have been included for analysis. The SBJ was performed to derive percentile values for gender and each age group. In general, males have greater jumping performance compared to females. Data demonstrate a linear increase in the jumping distance for both males and females until adole…
Physical activity according to gender in Brazilian Physical Education textbooks
2023
One of the purposes of Physical Education is promoting physical activity through equal opportunities for boys and girls, accepting diversity. Aware of the power of the image for the reproduction of gender stereotypes, this research aimed to analyse its existence in Brazilian textbooks. The study was empirical, descriptive and comparative among analysed books that used content analysis and inferential statistics. The sample comprised 1327 images. These images concerned 10 Physical Education textbooks published by four Brazilian publishers who edited them as teacher's guides for primary education between 2017 and 2018. A content analysis was carried out through the adaptation of the SAIMEF to…
Looking back into trans persons’ experiences in heteronormative secondary physical education contexts
2017
ABSTRACTBackground: School is one of the primary settings where non-gender conformer children and adolescents emerge as vulnerable groups at high risk of suffering violence and harassment. Within schooling contexts, embodied experiences in physical education (PE) may become particularly problematic for trans students. However, there is little research focusing on trans persons’s experiences in PE. The purpose of this paper is to gather memories and impressions of a group of adult trans persons on their experiences in secondary PE.Theoretical framework: The concept of heteronormativity is used as a theoretical framework to provide insights and understanding to trans persons’s experiences in …
Opening up to trans persons in Physical Education–Sport Tertiary Education: two case studies of recognition in queer pedagogy
2018
ABSTRACTBackground: In western societies, commitment to social justice claims for politics of recognition when referring to gender diversity. Gender non-conforming people, such as trans persons, re...
Überprüfung der Läsionsgefahr des N. ischiadicus des Kaninchens durch die Applikation niedrig- und mittelenergetischer extrakorporaler Stoßwellen
2008
Aim The aim of the study was to evaluate the likeliness for peripheral nerve lesions following extracorporeal shock wave application. Material and method 82 rabbit sciatic nerves were randomized to undergo low-energetic (0.08 mJ/mm2), middle-energetic (0.28 mJ/mm2) or no (controls) shock wave therapy. After 1 to 28 days an independent neuropathologist checked the specimen for signs of neural lesions. Results Only after 14 and 28 days vacuolic swelling of the axons was noted, somewhat pronounced in the middle-energetic group. In no case was there any disruption of the nerve's continuity. We did not observe any neurapraxia. Conclusion Shock wave application does not threaten peripheral nerve …
Impaired Trunk Posture in Women With Fibromyalgia
2018
A cross-sectional study.The main goal of the study was to analyze posture of Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) in women compared with healthy subjects to establish if posture assessment could be useful to characterize the syndrome. Secondarily, we explored the impact of sedentary behavior on trunk posture.Pain has been associated with poor static postures, however there is little information on the effect of FMS, which is characterized by widespread pain, on trunk posture.One hundred eighteen women with FMS and 110 healthy counterparts participated in this study, in which trunk posture was assessed. The thoracic kyphosis, forward head position, and shoulder position (basal and maximum protraction…
A case of bilateral luxatio erecta
2008
AbstractLuxatio erecta is an uncommon form of glenohumeral dislocation. Cases of bilateral inferior shoulder dislocation (luxatio erecta) are very rare, and only ten cases have been described in literature. We describe a case of a woman with bilateral luxatio erecta of the shoulders treated with close reduction, immobilization and rehabilitation. The patient had fallen downstairs while clinging to both lateral banisters.
Oxygen uptake, heart rate and blood lactate levels in female horseback riders during the obstacle test track
2020
The purpose of this study was to examine endurance performance by recording oxygen uptake, heart rate and blood lactate during the obstacle test track, equivalent to competitive performance in female horseback riders. In total 42 female riders participated in the study (show jumping, SJ n = 16, eventing, E n = 26). Age, height and weight of the total group were 29.0(9.2) yrs, 1.68(0.06) m, and 68.1(10.3) kg, respectively. Participants rode a minimum of 4 times per/week, and the riding level was from national to international. VO2peak/VO2mean and HRpeak/HRmean of the total group during the obstacle test track (OTT) were 34.4(5.0)/26.4(4.0) ml/kg/min and 184.4(9.6)/178.1(10.2) bpm. BLa concen…

Central dislocation of the jaw-joint into the middle cranial fossa
1981
Summary The authors' case of central dislocation of the jaw-joint is used to discuss the incidence, mechanism of causation and the problems of clinical diagnosis, and the possible lines of treatment are listed. The management of the central dislocation in our case consisted of surgical reduction of the articular process by means of traction with hooked retractors over a fulcrum in the molar region.
