Laari, E. 2017. ”Meni voimisteluhuumassa se reissu”: tapaustutkimus Oulun Voimisteluseu- ran naisvoimistelijoiden motiiveista osallistua kansainväliseen Gymnaestrada-tapahtumaan. Liikuntatieteellinen tiedekunta, Jyväskylän yliopisto, liikunnan yhteiskuntatieteiden pro gradu -tutkielma, 75 s., 2 liitettä. Suomessa on järjestetty jo yli vuosisadan ajan voimistelun suurtapahtumia. Niin kansalliset kuin kansainvälisetkin suurtapahtumat, kuten Gymnaestrada, ovat olleet suosittuja suomalais- voimistelijoiden keskuudessa. Tutkimuskiinnostus näitä tapahtumia ja niihin osallistuvia voi- mistelijoita kohtaan on kuitenkin ollut melkein olematonta. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miksi n…

"Oli kerrankin hauskaa mutta oppi samalla" : stationsundervisning på gymnasienivå

2015

Tämän maisterintutkielman tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa kahden ruotsinopettajan ja heidän ruotsin ryhmiensä suhtautumista laatimaani yhteistoiminnalliseen oppimateriaaliin ja työpistetyös-kentelyyn opetusmenetelmänä. Oppimateriaali koostui seitsemästä työpistetehtävästä, joita käy-tettiin kahden lukiolaisryhmän 45 minuutin ruotsin oppitunnilla. Yhteistoiminnallisen oppitunnin jälkeen selvitettiin kyselylomakkeella, miten opiskelijaryhmät suhtautuvat materiaaliin sekä haastateltiin heidän opettajiaan. Samalla kartoitettiin myös, miten opiskelijat ja opettajat yleensä ottaen suhtautuvat yhteistoiminnallisiin työtapoihin, joista esimerkkinä käytettiin työpistetyös-kentelyä. Tutkimusmateriaali k…

Beta-band MEG signal power changes in older adults after physical exercise program with and without additional cognitive training

2023

Physical exercise has been considered to be an efficient mean of preserving cognitive function and it influences both the structural and functional characteristics of the brain. It has especially been shown to increase brain plasticity, the capacity to re-structure brain properties in response to interaction, such as cognitive practice. Studies have also examined the potential additive effect of cognitive training on the documented benefit of physical exercise, commonly, however, not at the neural level. We monitored, using magnetoencephalography (MEG), the brain processes associated with executive functions in older individuals who participated in a 12-month randomized controlled trial inc…

Study on the Influence of Beginner Gymnasts’ Neuromuscular Control Using Computer-assisted Move 1 Du Portable Appliance

2014

Abstract The study aims at evaluating, training and improving upper limb neuromuscular control in preschool gymnasts as well as at highlighting the benefits of using computerized resources (MOVE 1 DU portable appliance) in training this control type. The research method chosen for this project consists in conducting an experiment on a group of 10 subjects aged 6-7 years. The key purpose of this study is to offer a more accurate and realistic view on the potential use of computer resources in training the neuromuscular control of the upper limb.

Protein supplementation in strength and conditioning adepts: knowledge, dietary behavior and practice in Palermo, Italy

2011

Abstract Background It is known that supplement use is a widespread and accepted practice by athletes and people who attend commercial gyms. Little is known about protein supplement amongst people undertaking strength training in commercial gyms in Italy when compared to the US. Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the use of protein supplementation, alone or in association with other supplements, and dietary behavior amongst regular fitness center attendees in Palermo, Italy. Design Resistance training information have been collected from 800 regular fitness center attendees for the initial analysis. A specific questionnaire was generated for the experimentation. Data were co…

Depression mediates physical activity readiness and physical activity in patients with heart failure.

2021

Aims Although physical activity (PA) and exercise are essential for patients with heart failure (HF), adherence to the recommended guidelines is low. Not much is known about the mediating effect of HF patients mental state with their readiness for PA and reported activity levels. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediatory effect of depression on PA readiness (physical limitation and psychological readiness) and self-reported PA in patients with HF. Methods and results In this cross-sectional study, 163 New York Heart Association Class I and II HF patients, during their clinic visit, reported on their physical limitation (PAR-Q) and psychological readiness [self-efficacy (ESES…

Comparison between logbook-reported and objectively-assessed physical activity and sedentary time in breast cancer patients: an agreement study

2017

BACKGROUND: Increasing physical activity (PA) and decreasing sedentary time (ST) have important health effects among breast cancer patients, a growing population group. PA and sedentary behaviors are complex multi-dimensional behaviors and are challenging to monitor accurately. To date few studies have compared self-reports and objective measurement in assessing PA and ST in women undergoing breast cancer treatments. The aim of the present study was to compare self-reports and objective measures for assessing daily time spent in moderate-intensity physical activity (MPA), vigorous-intensity physical activity (VPA) and ST in women undergoing breast cancer treatments. METHODS: Baseline data f…

Effects of combined electromyostimulation and gymnastics training in prepubertal girls.

2011

This study investigated the effects of a 6-week combined electromyostimulation (EMS) and gymnastic training program on muscle strength and vertical jump performance of prepubertal gymnasts. Sixteen young women gymnasts (age 12.4 ± 1.2 yrs) participated in this study, with 8 in the EMS group and the remaining 8 as controls. EMS was conducted on knee extensor muscles for 20 minutes 3 times a week during the first 3 weeks and once a week during the last 3 weeks. Gymnasts from both groups underwent similar gymnastics training 5-6 times a week. Isokinetic torque of the knee extensors was determined at different eccentric and concentric angular velocities ranging from -60 to +240° per second. Jum…
