This study compares the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on unstable and stable surfaces on explosive strength, balance, agility, and Tsukahara vault performance in gymnastics.\u0000Material and Methods. A nonrandomized trial study was conducted on twenty-seven well-trained male vault players who were assigned into 3 equal groups, a HIIT unstable group (UG), a HIIT stable group (SG), and the control group (CG). The training period for the subjects lasted eight weeks, with 3 sessions each week. All of the aforementioned variables were assessed both before and after the training period.\u0000Results. The main findings indicate that both UG and SG showed greater improvement than the CG on explosive strength, balance, agility, and Tsukahara vault performance in gymnastics (ES= 0.52 to 0.68, P<0.05). In addition, there were significant differences between the UG and SG in explosive strength, balance and Tsukahara vault performance (P<0.05) favoring UG, while no significant differences between UG and SG in agility. However, the UG as compared to the SG in agility had only limited additional effects. The UG and SG significantly increased all tests from pre- to post-test (ES= 1.10 to 4.78, 0.98 to 3.53), respectively (P<0.05). The CG significantly increased the explosive strength and Tsukahara vault performance tests from pre- to post-test ((ES= 0.77 to 0.78, P <0.05), while there were no significant differences in the balance and agility tests (P > 0.05).\u0000Conclusions. Accordingly, HIIT with unstable surfaces can be used as an alternative method to improve explosive strength and balance. Also, it can be used alongside stable surface exercises when developing agility.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140421599","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}

Elite handball goalkeepers undergo intensive training for reflexes and advanced techniques. They develop mental toughness to handle the pressure and responsibility at key moments of the game. Thus, they protect the goal of the team. This study aims to investigate and highlight the specific training characteristics of elite handball players specialized in the goalkeeper position.\u0000Material and Methods. The best 4 goalkeepers specialized in elite handball in Romania, aged between 22 and 33 years, were selected. Specific motor tests were used: Test 1 - Jumps 15 seconds; Test 2 – Reaction speed to visual stimulus; Test 3 – Execution speed. Technical tests were used: Test specific to goalkeeper, Triangle moving, The Ten Jump, Ball throwing, Standing long jump, Passes to a fixed point; The Cooper test. To improve specific training, there were applied strategies for training optimization which include stretching for mobility, segmental muscle strength, goalkeeping specific exercises and plyometrics. The nonparametric Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between technical training and motor skills parameters. The statistical significance level was set at p<0.05.\u0000Results. The performance of elite handball players specializing in goalkeeper position highlighted significant improvements in the Jumps 15 sec test. Contact time decreased by 0.13 seconds while the jump height increased by 0.55 cm, showing improved efficiency and power. In the Reaction speed to visual stimulus test, waiting time and reaction time decreased considerably, while the foot rising height increased. In the right and left leg Execution speed test, the differences observed reveal individual adaptations. The overall time is low in the right foot and there is a significant increase in the left foot. The nonparametric Spearman correlation analysis showed the relationship between the indices of technical fitness tests and the strength and speed motor skills. During Test 1 - Jumps 15 sec - 49 correlations were identified, of which 5.36% were statistically significant, highlighting strong connections between certain parameters. The analysis of Test 2 showed 56 correlations, but the lack of statistical significance reveals the absence of connections between the technical tests and the parameters of reaction speed manifestation. Regarding Test 3, a number of 28 correlations were identified. The lack of statistical significance suggests the absence of significant correlations between the technical tests and the execution speed.\u0000Conclusions. The performances of elite handball goalkeepers show significant improvements in motor and technical skills, highlighting the effectiveness of specific training and its adaptability. The progress in jumping and reaction speed indicates essential improvements for goalkeeping success, emphasizing the necessity for personalized and holistic training.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140422849","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}

In international races, the winners are decided by hundredths of a second, which is why the swim start plays an important role, especially in the sprint disciplines. The aim of the study is to reveal the differences in kinematic parameters of start and performance in the sprint 50 m freestyle discipline based on gender in different age categories of competitive swimmers at international competitions organized in Slovakia.\u0000Material and Methods. The sample consisted of 180 females and 189 males who were divided into age categories (K1, K2, K3). SwimPro cameras and Dartgish software were used to monitor kinematic parameters. The parameters monitored were - block time (BT), time (FT) and distance (FD) of flight, time (UWT) and distance (UWD) underwater, time to 15 m (T15), 25 m (T25) and 50 m (T50).

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in understanding the relationship between daily training time, circadian rhythms, and athletic performance. The connection between daily training time, circadian rhythms, and athletic performance continues to be a subject of research debate. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate whether maximal strength performance is affected by daily training time routines.\u0000Material and Methods. This cross-sectional study involved a total of 36 male bodybuilding athletes, who were divided into three equal groups (n=12); Noon Group, Afternoon Group, and Evening Group. The distinguishing feature amongst the groups was that they had been training at different times of the day for the past 6 months, and within each group, athletes had been training at the same time of day (Noon Group 12:00-14:00; Afternoon Group 17:00-19:00; Evening Group 21:00-23:00). A one-repetition maximum squat test was administered to each group with there being a 72-hour interval between the tests.\u0000Results. The findings from the research indicate that there is a relationship between athletes' daily training time routines and maximal strength performance. Athletes perform at their best during the time that corresponds to their daily training routine. The analysis reveals a statistically significant advantage in 1-RM squat performance for athletes adhering to their daily training time routines at various times of the day (p <0.001). Notably, Group Noon, Group Afternoon, and Group Evening achieved their highest 1-RM squat performance when following their respective daily training time routines.\u0000Conclusions. Results underscore the importance of aligning training schedules with athletes' natural rhythms, enhancing performance optimization strategies. It is believed that effective planning for training time by coaches and conditioning experts, taking into account competition times, would be a valuable strategy.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140418068","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}

Good motor coordination is needed to achieve good fundamental motor skills. This study aimed to analyze and describe the relationship between fundamental motor skills and motor coordination performance of elementary school students aged 7 to 9 years old.\u0000Material and Methods. The subjects were elementary school students in grades 1, 2, and 3 with a total number of students was 478 (248 male students, and 230 female students) in 8 cities and regencies in West Sumatera, Indonesia. This study used a cross-sectional research design. The fundamental motor skills were examined using the Test of Gross Motor Development-Second Edition. This included assessing locomotor skills (running, galloping, sliding, leaping, hopping, and jumping) and object control skills (striking, catching, throwing, dribbling, rolling, and kicking). Motor coordination performance was assessed by using the Körperkoordinations Test für Kinder including balance beam, moving sideways, jumping sideways, and eye-hand coordination. The data were analyzed by using IBM SPSS statistic version 25.\u0000Results. Students in urban areas demonstrated certain levels in Gross Motor Quotients scores, while their counterparts in rural areas achieved marginally higher scores with slightly less variation. In schools where Physical Education teachers were present, students generally scored higher compared to schools without Physical Education teachers, albeit with a bit less variation in the latter. When comparing motor coordination performance, students in urban areas typically outperformed those in rural areas, exhibiting slightly more consistent scores. Similarly, students with access to Physical Education teachers showed better motor coordination performance than those without, though with a somewhat greater range in their scores. A noticeable trend was observed in the Gross Motor Quotients scores of Fundamental Motor Skills, which tended to decrease as age increased. Conversely, students' motor coordination performance generally improved with age. Supporting these observations, the result of the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, obtained from Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed), was 0.200 > 0.05. Additionally, the Pearson correlation value between motor coordination performance and fundamental motor skills was 0.633 with a sig value of 0.000, indicating a significant relationship.\u0000Conclusions. \u0000Based on the study's findings, it is recommended to focus on enhancing motor skill programs for children in rural areas. Schools should invest in Physical Education teachers, especially where they are currently absent, to benefit children. Age-specific programs are needed to address the decline in Gross Motor Quotients with age in children.  Regular monitoring and evaluation of these initiatives for children are essential.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140417665","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}

Balance is a motor skill that enables children to perform physical activities fluently and regular physical activity is needed for the development of balance skills. In this context, the problem of which physical activity should be directed to the balance development of children arises. The study is aimed to determine the effect of basketball training on balance skills in children aged 7-10 years.\u0000Material and Methods. The participant group of the study consisted of 24 children aged 7-10 years with a mean age of 9.25±0.94 who did not regularly perform physical activity and lived in rural or non-rural areas. Participants living in non-rural areas were included in the exercise group (n=12) and participants living in rural areas were included in the control group (n=12). The exercise group received basketball training for 8 weeks, two days a week, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Before and after the training process, all participants were tested at Level 1 in TOGU Challenge Disc and software to determine static and dynamic balance levels. As a result of the balance test, participants' static balance score (SBS), dynamic balance score (DBS), general balance score (GBS) and dynamic balance sub-parameter scores as right and left dynamic balance score (RL-DBS), superior inferior dynamic balance score (SI-DBS), horizontal plane dynamic balance score (HP-DBS), vertical plane dynamic balance score (VP-DBS), clockwise (C-DBS) and opposite clockwise dynamic balance score (OC-DBS) were taken as percentage. Descriptive statistics, Skewness, Kurtosis and Kolmogorov-Smirnov values, paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test were used to analyse the data. Statistical significance level was determined as p<0.05.\u0000Results. In the study, no difference was found between the exercise group and the control group in terms of pre-test results, which indicated that the participant groups showed homogeneous characteristics. In the exercise group, a significant increase was found in DBS, RL-DBS, SI-DBS, C-DBS, GBS levels after 8 weeks of basketball training. In the control group, there was a significant decrease in SBS and a significant increase in DBS, RL-DBS, SI-DBS, C-DBS and OC-DBS levels at the end of 8 weeks.\u0000Conclusions. As a result, regular basketball training provided an increase in dynamic balance level and general balance scores. Moreover, basketball training can slow the decrease in static balance that may occur as a result of growth spurts in children aged 7-10 years. Children targeted to develop balance skills can be directed to basketball training.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140421274","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 increasing recognition of pilates as a comprehensive exercise regimen tailored to the needs of the elderly population underscores its growing importance. This shift in emphasis reflects a growing awareness of the potential benefits of pilates for older adults' overall well-being. Study Aim - to investigate the potential benefits of a six-week mat pilates training (MPT) program on the functional fitness of older adults.\u0000Material and Methods. In total, a group of 30 elderly individuals (i.e., NMale=18 and NFemale=12), who regularly frequented a local playground, participated in a quasi-experimental study. The study involved pre-test and post-test assessments and was conducted over a period of six weeks. Participants underwent an MPT program (six days a week for six weeks, 60 minutes per session). Were assessed for various functional fitness parameters: lower-body strength (LBS), upper-body strength (UBS), aerobic endurance (AE), lower-body flexibility (LBF), upper-body flexibility (UBF), agility (AG), and Body Mass Index (BMI). A paired-sample t-test was used for statistical analysis.\u0000Results. The MPT resulted in significant (p<0.001) improvement in LBS (9.71%), UBS (8.33%), AE (7.11%), LBF (13.48%), UBF (98.78%) and AG (10.52%) post-intervention. However, no significant change was noted in the BMI.\u0000Conclusions. A MPT program significantly enhances various dimensions of functional fitness in older adults, excluding BMI. The study results have profound implications for older individuals’ well-being and quality of life.

Material and Methods. The study involved athletes of percussion martial arts (n=13, age 18.8±0.52, experienced athletes), elite players of semi-professional CS:GO teams (n=10, age 19.2±0.50), short track speed skaters (n=12, age 19.1±0.25, experienced athletes). Short-term visual memory was determined using a special program for tablet computers running iOS. Results. Certain trends have been established regarding the characteristics of the state of the body of elite athletes in martial arts, short track and esports in terms of averaged indicators. In terms of the short-term visual memory coefficient and the average percentage of errors, martial arts athletes showed the best result, and short trackers showed the worst result. The shortest average test duration was recorded for short trackers. At certain stages of the test, they dominated athletes of other specializations in terms of reaction time. However, the trend towards faster response was associated with a decrease in the accuracy of the selection, that is, a greater percentage of errors. Cyberathletes and martial arts athletes were characterized by better adaptive abilities than short track athletes. Conclusions. The specificity of sports activities of cyberathletes determined the best results of the most difficult stage of the test both in terms of speed and accuracy. This criterion can be recommended for esports selection and prediction. The control of the cognitive functions of athletes is expedient in the course of monitoring their physical condition and is a promising direction for predicting the reliability and success of competitive activity.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139140431","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 physical attributes of muscular strength and endurance are essential for wrestlers to perform successfully. For the development of these physical qualities, high intensity interval training (HIIT) using kettlebell strength exercises is appropriate. The purpose of this study was to develop a kettlebell HIIT program for wrestlers and evaluate the results on strength and endurance. Material and Methods. Eight freestyle wrestlers who participated in the Bulgarian Wrestling Championships (age: 22.0±2.17 years, wrestling experience: 9.9±2.80 years) were included in the study. Measurements included height, weight, 8 circumferences, 8 skinfolds, and BMI, body fat percentage (%BF), and skeletal muscle mass percentage (%SMM). The wrestlers engaged in an HIIT circuit that involved four rounds of 16 kg kettlebells and eight exercises, each lasting 20 seconds to complete and 10 seconds to recover between. Polar H7 was used to continually record heart rate (HR). At rest, before, immediately after, and 15 minutes after the HIIT, blood lactate concentration (La) was assessed. Each exercise's number of repetitions was noted. Results. The wrestlers' average height was 175.2±7.45 cm, their average weight was 85.1±13.38 kg, and their average BMI was 27.6 kg/m2. The SMM was 42.1±2.39%, and the BF was 10.3±3.98%. Heart rate (HR) exhibited a pattern of elevation from rest to warm-up and during circle 1 to 4, followed by a decrease 10 minutes after HIIT. Lactate levels (La) displayed an upward trend from rest to before HIIT, a significant increase after HIIT, and a decrease 15 minutes after HIIT. Conclusions. As shown by the fact that each wrestler's HR during the kettlebell HIIT was above 75% of HRmax and that La was above the anaerobic threshold (>4 mmol/L), the created kettlebell HIIT, when used 5 times per week for eight weeks as part of the wrestlers' training, can improve their endurance.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139139706","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}
