Sports massage is the most frequent procedure applied in biological regeneration for athletes. It is an effective approach to fatigue fighting, eliminating pain resulting from exercise performance and accelerating body regeneration processes. It is used in injury prevention and supports recovery in competitors after contusions. The aim of the presented research is a review of current literature on sports massage. The specific aims include the recommendation of the most often applied techniques, assessment of the effect of massage on the development of the most frequent symptoms and the application of massage in the treatment of competitive and amateur athletes. Material and methods. Medical databases were used for the analysis. These included: PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library and PEDro. 9 papers written within the last 10 years were selected for the study in order to search the answers to the questions posed. Only the papers written in Polish and English, reporting randomized clinical trials, were taken into consideration. The selected papers were subjected to analysis and assessment. Results. Most of the papers present the treatment of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) (n=5). Sports massage was also applied in the treatment of such symptoms as stress and pregame anxiety (n=2), gait disorders (n=1), levels of blood lactic acid (n=1) as well as generalized pain and fatigue (n=1). The authors usually applied the effleurage (stroking) technique in their treatment (n=7). Such techniques as petrissage (kneading) (n=6), friction (n=4) and rolling using a massage roller were most often applied (n=3). The smallest number of papers reported using such techniques as tapotement (n=2), vibration (n=2), and compression (n=1) .Conclusions. 1. Sports massage is most often used in patients with DOMS. 2. Effleurage is the most often used massage technique (n=7). 3. Sports massage is an effective physiotherapeutic approach in the treatment of competitive and amateur athletes.","PeriodicalId":174963,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130650022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"The Effect of 12-Week Traditional Resistance Training Applied to Elite Curling Athletes on Muscular Endurance","authors":"Hasan Yilmaz, Kemalettin Seren, G.

The purpose of study was to compare effects of 12-weeks tradinational resistance training (TRT) on total work (TW), relative peak work (RPW) and peak power (PP) in elite national curlers. Material and methods. Twenty-four participants were included in the study. Subjects were separated into two gorup, resistance training group (RES) and control group (CON). While RES performed 12-week TRT in addiction to curling training, CON just performed curling training. All twenty-four national elite curling athletes performed a body composition test and isokinetic strength test at 240-1/ms angular speed pre and post TRT. TW and PP values were directly obtained from isokinetic dynamometer and RPW was calculated by dividing the peak work values by the body weight of the person. The differences between RES/CON and pre-post in TW, RPW and PP variables were determined using an analysis of variance with ANOVA. Results. The data obtained from the research were shown as mean and standard deviation. Higher TW, RPW, and PP outputs were generated in the RES in comparison with the CON exercise (p < 0.05); but, flexion phases of TW and PP output were not significantly different in RES and CON groups at pre and post tests (p>0.05). The differences in RPW can be a result of body weight decreased with TRT. Conclusions. This research using TRT on elite curlers population provides ground work for future studies to different resistance training methods. This study is first resistance training study to improve strength on elite curlers. Therefore, future studies in this area may include to different level curlers, resistance training methods, ages.","PeriodicalId":174963,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126630585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of hybrid complexes of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (H/L-HA) has increased the clinical utility of hyaluronic preparations by increasing the viscoelastic properties, increasing the anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects and thermodynamic stabilization of the preparation, which determines the extension of its half-life. Thus, it became more effective and useful in non-surgical treatment of osteoarthritis. Looking at the effectiveness of hybrid complexes, it is worth trying and using in your practice, for example, Sinodrial, which, in addition to the characteristics of the hybrid, has amino acids in its composition, which can also directly affect the production of collagen and the regeneration of joint cartilage.","PeriodicalId":174963,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114485060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quantitative examination of bone tissue is primarily associated with the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is rarely suspected among athletes, usually young, active, and generally healthy. Quantitative research of bone tissue related to the sport has a preventive dimension. Increasing the parameters of bone tissue strength, especially reaching the maximum value of peak bone strength in childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood due to practicing sports can contribute to maintaining bone health throughout life. The study was designed to review and narratively analyze the impact of sports activity on bone mass using quantitative ultrasound bone assessment. \u0000Material and methods. Extensive electronic research has been conducted to identify scientific papers using ultrasonic methods to evaluate bones in sports. The study was conducted using the PRISMA method (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses). Searching and downloading articles were done electronically. The narrative strategy of the review was implemented step by step. \u0000Results. Five hundred and twenty-nine results were identified. After reading the full texts, there are 12 articles left. Relevant articles were found in the references of selected articles and added to the analysis. Selected articles were selected to be presented in the results, and the rest were used for discussion. Higher bone density and strength are often found in active sporting groups compared to non-athlete peer groups. The influence of physical activity is observed, especially in strength or strength sports of both sexes. Football, dance, and martial arts such as karate and tai chi practice positively affect bone tissue. Such an impact is not noted in disciplines such as swimming and cycling. \u0000Conclusions. Systematic and long-term sports behaviors affect not only the improvement of the condition of bone tissue but also the long-term maintenance of the achieved improvement in the condition of the skeleton. It remains open to determine which sports disciplines lead to the most noticeable improvement in the condition of the ultrasound-examined bone.
