The role of school physical education on adolescents' fitness levels during the pandemic period from COVID-19: An observational study of the Italian …
2022
ObjectivesIn Italy, in 2013, a new school curriculum with a sport character was established in high schools, called Sports High School (SHS). The aims of this study were: (1) to assess the fitness levels of SHS students who, respecting all the safety rules to limit the spread of COVID-19, practiced physical education (PE) at school with continuity for almost all of 2021, and to compare them with Traditional High School (THS) students; (2) to evaluate as the SHS may have influenced the fitness levels in adolescents.MethodsThis is a case-control study in which thirty participants were enrolled (SHS: n = 15; THS: n = 15). To assess the fitness levels, the following tests were administered: the…
Effects of 5-Week of FIFA 11+ Warm-Up Program on Explosive Strength, Speed, and Perception of Physical Exertion in Elite Female Futsal Athletes
2022
Futsal is a sport that originates from soccer and is increasingly practiced all over the world. Since training and warm-up protocols should be sport-specific in order to reduce injuries and maximize performance, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of 5 weeks of the FIFA 11+ warm-up program on explosive strength, speed, and perception of physical exertion in elite female futsal athletes. Twenty-nine elite female futsal athletes participating in the Italian national championships were divided into two groups: the experimental group (EG) underwent 5 weeks of the FIFA 11+ warm-up program, and the control group (CG) underwent 5 weeks of a dynamic warm-up. We evaluated any effect on explosiv…
Effects of a Postural Exercise Program on Vertical Jump Height in Young Female Volleyball Players with Knee Valgus
2022
Background: Although a knee valgus position is related to the increase in injury risk in volleyball players, there is a lack of studies on the relationship between knee valgus and vertical jump (VJ) performance. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a postural exercise program on VJ height in young female volleyball players with knee valgus. Methods: This pilot study included 19 young female volleyball players divided into the following groups: the Valgus Experimental Group (VEG); the Valgus Control Group (VCG); and the Neutral Control Group (NCG). All three groups carried out the same volleyball training program. In addition, only the VEG underwent a 3-month postur…
Effects of an experimental short-time high-intensity warm-up on explosive muscle strength performance in soccer players: A pilot study.
2022
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an experimental short-time warm-up consisting of a small number of intermittent high-intensity sprints on explosive muscle strength performance in soccer players and to identify recovery times after performing the sprints. Furthermore, we evaluated the reliability of a smartphone app in jumping performance.Methods: Twenty male soccer players were given the following tests: 1) the counter-movement jump (CMJ) test with the Microgate system, 2) the counter-movement jump (CMJ) test with the MyJump smartphone app, and 3) the handgrip strength test. The experimental short-time high-intensity warm-up was carried out 1 week after test administr…
Vertikaalihypyn korkeuden arviointi 3D-kiihtyvyysanturilla ja lajinomaisen kuormituksen vaikutukset hyppyyn
2016
Sensoreihin perustuvat menetelmät ovat yleistyneet urheilutestauksessa viime vuosina. Tarkoituksena oli selvittää hyppääjän kenkään kiinnitettävään 3D-kiihtyvyysanturiin perustuvan menetelmän validiteettia vertikaalihypyn korkeuden arvioinnissa. Voimalevyn lentoaikamenetelmää käytettiin kiihtyvyysanturimenetelmän validiteettianalyysissä ja lajikohtaisten kuormitusasetelman vertikaalihypyt arvioitiin kiihtyvyysanturimenetelmällä. Hyppysarjojen korkeimmat hypyt arvioitiin lisäksi voimalevyn lähtönopeusmenetelmällä. Kiihtyvyysanturimenetelmässä käytettiin urheilijan kenkään kiinnitettävää The Stride Sensor Bluetooth® Smart (Polar Electro Oy, Kempele, Suomi) -sensoria. Hyppytestit suoritettiin …
