These lessons of ``spring motion from a higher level (SMH)'', which were taught over 6 school hours in total, were carried out as a part of the unit on apparatus gymnastics spanning from April 15th to the 28th, 2016. Participants were 5th grade students (32 male, 31 female, 2 classes) of the F elementary school, which is located in Hiroshima prefecture. These lessons were followed by the ``FRB (10 school hours in total)'' lessons developed for this study, in which the students learned ``the spring motion with hip subduction, from forward roll (SHF)'' and aimed to do the ``SMH'', landing on the ground. The F elementary school employs a subject teacher system throughout the elementary school, and the students had already learned the ``antenna bridge (AB)'' and the ``FRB'' in the previous year. The results of this study were as follows; (1) An improvement of the students' athletic skills for doing all of the moves, ``AB'', ``FRB'', and ``SMH'', was observed after the 6 school hour lessons. It expressly indicates that the lesson plans were eŠective for teaching ``SMH''. (2) A correlation of the achievements of ``FRB'' and ``SMH'' was found in the ˆrst lesson (|r| ≦0.700, p<0.0001). This result indicates that ``FRB'' should be learned before ``SMH'', to produce a higher achievement rate. After the 6th lesson, the correlations between ``AB'' and ``FRB'' (|r|≦0.348, p<0.006) and between ``FRB'' and ``SMH'' (|r|≦0.440, p<0.0001) were found. This might show that eŠectiveness of ``FRB'' as a move connecting the learning of ``AB'' and ``SMH''. (3) The qualitative analysis of the students' movements indicated that there were two types of students who were not able to do ``SMH'', those students who achieved ``SHF'' but could not do the spring, and those students who had not achieved ``SHF''. This diŠers from former studies that showed only the latter type of students existing. This indicates that the di‹culties of ``SMH'' were that 1) the students ˆrst need to achieve two skills, ``SHF'' and ``pushing with hands'', and 2) the students need to adapt themselves for another situation in order to be able to do the move.","PeriodicalId":341890,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sport and Health Science","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123845743","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}

Previous studies have implicated executive functions in movement switching ability. We aimed to clarify expertise diŠerences in movement adjustment and switching, and compared performance on three tasks of target striking between expert and intermediate kendo players as participants. Task 1 was a simple strike, whereby participants struck targets at one position; Task 2 was an adjusted strike, whereby participants struck targets at three positions in a random order. Task 3 was strike–defense switching, whereby participants struck targets as in Task 2 while were also required to switch to defense when an opponent made a counter-strike. That is, the participants were required accurate strike in Task 1 and 2 close to the kendo practices, and were required accurate strike and defense in Task 3 close to the real matches. We found no diŠerences in strike movement time and accuracy in any of the tasks between groups. However, expert players were able to execute successful strike-defense switching in Task 3, whereas intermediate players were not. These results suggest that an expertise diŠerence exists in executive functions, and that it is essential for players to practice focused on acquisition of switching skills in order to further improve their performance.","PeriodicalId":341890,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sport and Health Science","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117041034","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}

Kinematics and bar reaction forces (BRFs) were measured during successful kicking pullovers by 10 healthy adult males, with the horizontal bar set at 75z to the individual subject's heights. Sagittal plane analyses using an 11-segment link model were performed between the period from takeoŠ to the upside-down position. Large extension torques of elbows and shoulders of both arms were observed (1.01±0.14 and 2.08±0.30 Nm/kg as the sum of bilateral arms, respectively) and accompanied by large vertical BRF (0.71±0.07 BW). Because the angular momentum about the center of mass (CM) was mostly satisˆed at takeoŠ, large horizontal BRF after takeoŠ may be avoided. However, vertical velocity of the CM at takeoŠ (1.1±0.1 m/s) was insu‹cient to raise by the necessary distance against gravity, and compensation by vertical BRF after takeoŠ was demonstrated. Moreover, vertical BRF was responsible for maintaining the position of the body at around the target height against gravity during the second half of the target period. These observations suggest that successful kicking pullovers require large elbow and shoulder extensor strengths, and strengthening of these muscles is eŠective for achieving kicking pullovers.","PeriodicalId":341890,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sport and Health Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130629000","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}
