A problem was raised to prepare an improvement plan according to the current status and problems of physical fitness test of the Korean police officer. Accordingly, a revised physical fitness test for new police officers will be introduced from 2023 and will be fully introduced from 2026. The purpose of this study is to introduce revised physical fitness test type including professional physical element proper for duty feature to secure the security power and physical training program for the revised physical fitness test for Korean police officers.METHODS Functional physical training program consisted of combined with health-related fitness factors and skill-related fitness factors for successfully cope with their duties which involve physical tasks. FITT principles of functional physical training program were made for circulated physical fitness test for new Korean police officers.CONCLUSIONS Police officers must be physically fit to successfully cope with their duties which involve physical tasks. The functional physical training program could help new Korean police officers maintain physical fitness including cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, agility, could be prevent a decline in performance physical capacity and occupational duties.","PeriodicalId":22264,"journal":{"name":"The Asian Journal of Kinesiology","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83424186","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}

They were divided into Male Group (n=11) and Female Group (n=11). The dependent variable was Lysholm knee score, IKDC (International Knee Document Committee) score, isokinetic muscle strength of knee joint, which it was measured Pre-Op (Previous Operation) and during the 24-week rehabilitation exercise program period, it was measured at Post-Op (Post Operation) 12 and Post-Op 24 weeks.RESULTS First, significant differences by period were noted on Lysholm knee score (p<.001) and IKDC score (p<.05). Second, isokinetic strength of knee joint extension in involved side is significant differences between genders (p<.01). Third, isokinetic strength of knee joint extension in involved side has significant differences by period (p<.01). Forth, isokinetic strength of knee joint extension in uninvolved side has significant differences between genders (p<.05). Fifth, isokinetic strength of knee joint flexion in uninvolved side has significant differences between genders (p<.01). Sixth, isokinetic strength of knee joint flexion in uninvolved side has significant differences by period (p<.05).CONCLUSIONS This paper confirmed that the effect of a rehabilitation exercise program on subjective function is not influenced by gender, but by period. On the other hand, the effect of a rehabilitation exercise program on strength is influenced by not only gender, but also period. That application of rehabilitation exercise program after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was significant difference between groups in male and female on isokinetic strength of knee joint and by period. Therefore, we suggest that a rehabilitation exercise program should be designed differently in proper way between male and female group.","PeriodicalId":22264,"journal":{"name":"The Asian Journal of Kinesiology","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85852717","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}

A total of 9 studies met the inclusion criteria. The selected articles were all of high quality as assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.RESULTS Results indicated that all SEM constructs were significantly correlated with physical activity.

Running and cutting motions were recorded using a motion capture system and ground reaction force (GRF) was recorded using a force plate. Three-dimensional knee angle, ground reaction force, and knee joint moment were calculated using Visual3D software. OpenSim musculoskeletal modeling software was used to calculate the force of individual muscles including the medial hamstring, biceps femoris long head, biceps femoris short head, rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, gastrocnemius medialis, and gastrocnemius lateralis. All data were analyzed for loading response (or weight acceptance), mid-stance, and final push-off periods, respectively and were compared between two tasks.RESULTS At loading response: external rotation angle, medial and vertical GRFs, and valgus moment for the CUT task were greater than those of the RUN task. Compared to the RUN task, the CUT task showed: 1) an increase in lateral hamstring muscle force at weight acceptance, 2) a decrease in hamstring muscle force and an increase in medial vastus muscle force at mid-stance, and 3) an increase in lateral gastrocnemius muscle force at final push-off.CONCLUSIONS Selective force production patterns of muscles surrounding the knee seem to offset the external load caused by the cutting motion. We anticipate that our results will provide basic data for future training programs designed to prevent noncontact knee injuries.","PeriodicalId":22264,"journal":{"name":"The Asian Journal of Kinesiology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83099922","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}

White willow bark (WWB) is a nutritional supplement that is believed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties like aspirin but without the risk of GI adverse effects. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effectiveness of WWB on alleviating the symptoms of DOMS following exercise.METHODS Twenty-five individuals volunteered to participate and were randomly assigned to take WWB (798mg salicin) or placebo for 5 days following a lower body resistance training session which consisted of 5X10 lunges at 40% body weight (BW) and 3X fatigue leg press at 75%BW. Test procedures included visual analog scale (VAS), mid-thigh circumference and pressure pain threshold. VAS was measured pre, all five days of the supplementation period and day 6 (post-supplementation). All other variables were measured at pre, immediate, day 3(72hrs), and day 6 (post-supplementation).RESULTS No condition X time interaction was observed (p > 0.05) for any variable. However, VAS scores were lower in the WWB compared to the placebo for all time frames. There was a significant main effect of time for VAS scores indicating muscle soreness for hamstrings (p < 0.001), gluteal (p < 0.001), gastrocnemius (p < 0.001) and quadriceps (p < 0.001).

Total subjects were classified into forward head posture exercise group (n=8), central asymmetry exercise group (n=8), varus exercise group (n=8), valgus exercise group and each control group (n=8). For the non-contact home training, 12 weeks of 30 minutes/day, 3 times/week, corrective exercise continuum were conducted. The CEC program is an effective treatment to correct the anatomical alignment of the extremities as suggested by the National Academy of Sports Medicine.RESULTS As a result, the distance between the centers according to the forward head posture CEC program in EG, the angle of spinal inclination of the cervical and thoracic vertebrae, and central asymmetry were lowered (p<.05). Body shape distribution balance and shoulder tilt angle were lowered in EG according to the central asymmetry CEC program (p <.05). According to the varus CEC program in EG, the distance between the center of the knee, the tilt angle of the femur and tibia, and body shape distribution were lowered (p <.05).
