Knee injuries are prevalent among professional tennis players and have a significant impact on their athletic performance and longevity. This study aimed to evaluate the dynamic and postural balance differences between injured and healthy professional tennis players, reflecting the broader implications of knee injuries on player stability and performance.\u0000Materials and methods. A total of 80 professional tennis players, comprising 40 individuals in the knee injury group (IG) and 40 individuals in the non-injury group (NIG), were selected to participate in this cross-sectional study. Participants’ postural sway was assessed under various conditions, including standing on different surfaces with open and closed eyes using a Wii Balance Board. The Y-Balance Test was performed to evaluate the player’s dynamic balance. An Independent t-test was used to examine the difference in postural sway and dynamic balance between the two groups.\u0000Results. The results of this study indicated that players with knee injuries showed significantly worse performance in both dynamic balance (p<0.05 for non-dominant legs) and postural sway (significant differences in mean velocity on foam surfaces with eyes open and closed, p<0.001). These findings suggest that knee injuries contribute to substantial deficits in balance control, which could affect overall athletic performance and injury risk.\u0000Conclusion. The study underscores the necessity of incorporating targeted balance and proprioceptive training into rehabilitation programs for tennis players recovering from knee injuries. By improving balance, these interventions can enhance neuromuscular control, reduce reinjury risk, and support better overall performance in high-stakes environments. Future research should focus on refining balance training programs to maximize recovery outcomes and minimize injury impacts.","PeriodicalId":178000,"journal":{"name":"Physical Education Theory and Methodology","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141926286","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}

This study aimed to investigate the effects of a structured six-week Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) regimen on back flexibility and lumbar flexion in female college students.\u0000Materials and methods. Thirty female college students from the Gwalior District participated in the study and were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (Surya Namaskar regimen) or a control group. Baseline measurements of age, height, weight, and initial flexibility were recorded. The experimental group engaged in a six-week Surya Namaskar program, while the control group maintained their regular activities. Back flexibility and lumbar flexion were assessed using standardized tests before and after the intervention period.\u0000Results. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in back flexibility and lumbar flexion in the experimental group following the six-week Surya Namaskar regimen. Specifically, the experimental group demonstrated a substantial increase in both back flexibility (mean change ± SD: 3.20 ± 0.95 cm) and lumbar flexion (mean change ± SD: 1.50 ± 0.75 cm), whereas the control group showed no significant changes in these parameters.\u0000Conclusion. The findings underscore the effectiveness of Surya Namaskar in enhancing musculoskeletal flexibility among female college students. Integrating Surya Namaskar into educational programs could potentially benefit physical health by improving back flexibility and lumbar flexion, thus supporting overall musculoskeletal health and reducing the risk of injuries.

Recently, a lot of special attention has been paid to the school environment where students’ aggressive behaviour that spreads quickly is getting more expressed and reflects processes in the modern society and their consequences for the young generation. It can often have various short- and long-term consequences for a student’s behaviour, communication with others, emotional state or his/her self-esteem. Thus, this complex situation encourages to get interested in understanding the underlying causes of students’ aggressive behaviour and peculiarities of its frequent manifestation.\u0000Objectives. The study aimed to reveal the peculiarities of students’ aggressive behaviour expression in physical education lessons in the context of age and gender aspects.\u0000Material and methods. A total of 197 students participated in the study, comprising 52 girls aged 12-13 years, 44 boys of the same age group, 60 girls aged 14-15 years and 41 boys of the same age.\u0000Results. The findings of the study indicated that 14-15-year-old students were more prone to the following forms of aggressive behaviour in physical education lessons: negativism, offence, irritation, physical and verbal aggression compared with 12-13-year-old students. It was also determined that older students demonstrated statistically significant higher levels of hostility and aggressiveness than younger counterparts. When analysing the students’ aggressive behaviour in the aspect of gender, it was found that boys often expressed the following forms of aggressive behaviour: negativism, offence, irritation and physical aggression; meanwhile, girls were more prone to the feeling guilty and verbal aggression. Higher hostility is more characteristic to boys than to girls, but the aggressiveness observed in the groups of boys and girls was assessed similarly according to the aggressiveness index.\u0000Conclusions.

The study aimed to examine the effects of a 12-week moderate-intensity circuit exercise program on body composition and physical fitness among overweight women of working age.\u0000Materials and methods. Twenty-nine overweight women of working age were divided into two groups: the control group (CG, n = 14) had a normal daily life, and the moderate intensity circuit exercise group (MICE, n = 15) underwent training that included 3 sessions of MICE (40–50 seconds followed by 60 seconds of rest for each exercise and 90 seconds of recovery between sessions at 64–76% of maximum heart rate). The training was conducted for 60 minutes per day, three days per week. Body composition and physical fitness were measured before (2 days prior) and after (2 days post) a 12-week training period. \u0000Results. After the 12-week training, the MICE showed a considerable improvement in a number of key health indicators, including body weight, BMI, fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, visceral adipose tissue, total energy expenditure, resting energy expenditure, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio (-0.65%, -0.73%, -2.16%, 2.53%, -7.12%, 10.85%, 0.71%, -3.13%, and -2.67%, respectively, p < 0.05) when compared to the CG.

The reliability of predictive body fat equations remains unclear due to their inappropriate use across different subject cohorts and conditions. The objective of this study was to validate and cross-validate equations to predict total and regional body fat in young physically active males.\u0000Material and methods. Three hundred and five young male participants were divided into the following groups: active validation (n=165), active cross-validation (n=70), or sedentary cross-validation ones (n=70). The study used a stratified random sampling based on weekly physical activity level. The total and regional body fat mass were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) after an overnight fast. Simultaneous measurements of height, body mass, skinfold thickness, body mass index, and body circumferences were taken. The total and regional body fat predictive equations were generated using multiple linear stepwise regression models. The coefficient of determination (R²) and standard error of estimation (SEE) were calculated to examine the accuracy of the predictive equations. Furthermore, cross-validation groups were analysed.\u0000Results. The percentage of total body fat, trunk fat, legs fat, arms fat, and body mass index of active cross-validation were found to be significantly lower than in the sedentary cross-validation groups.

This study aimed to assess the impact of an 8-week tele-exercise program on the quality of life (QoL) and body composition among female older adults.\u0000Materials and methods. This study involved female participants aged 60 and older, using a quasi-experimental research design. The tele-exercise regimen comprised a multimodal approach, with sessions lasting 30 minutes, conducted three times a week over an 8-week period. The program included breathing exercises, cognitive training, balance exercises, strength training, stretching, aerobic dance and karaoke singing. The sessions were conducted via streaming studio facilities at the Computer Center of Ubon Ratchathani Rajabhat University (Thailand). The tele-exercise equipment was represented by the following technical means: a 50-inch LED TV, OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) version 30.1.2 for live broadcasting and video recording, Google Meet for virtual interaction, wireless portable microphones, a desktop computer, and two 19-inch computer monitors. Pre- and post-intervention data were collected, including assessments of QoL using the Thai abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire and body composition measurements (waist circumference and bioelectrical impedance analysis; BIA).\u0000Results. Statistically significant improvements were observed in both QoL and body composition following the tele-exercise intervention. QoL scores demonstrated significant enhancements in overall QoL (p = 0.004), as well as in the social relationship (p = 0.002) and environmental (p = 0.001) domains. Regarding body composition, reductions in waist circumference and visceral adipose tissue were statistically significant (p < 0.05), while muscle mass and body fat mass showed trends toward improvement, though not statistically significant.\u0000Conclusions. The findings suggest that tele-exercise training holds promise for enhancing QoL and positively influencing body composition among female older adults. This underscores the potential of tele-exercise as a viable option for older adults, offering cost and time-saving benefits, particularly in situations where transportation may pose challenges.
