Flexibility is a crucial component of physical conditioning for badminton players. In this context, this study aims to investigate the impact of static and dynamic stretching on the flexibility of badminton athletes. The research objectives include analyzing the effectiveness of each stretching technique, comparing flexibility between male and female players, and examining the interaction between stretching methods and gender on athletes’ flexibility. Materials and Methods. This type of research is an experiment using a 2x2 factorial design. The participants were 20 badminton athletes aged 14-16 years. The sample obtained 10 male athletes and 10 female athletes. The flexibility instrument uses the sit and reach test. The data analysis technique used is ANOVA two way. Results. Static stretching demonstrated greater effectiveness than dynamic stretching on flexibility (p-value 0.033 < 0.05). A notable difference was observed between male and female athletes regarding flexibility, with females exhibiting better flexibility (p-value 0.004 < 0.05). The study identified a significant interaction between stretching techniques (static and dynamic) and gender (male and female) on flexibility (p-value 0.000 < 0.05). Conclusions. The research findings highlight the importance of gender-specific training programs that consider individual muscle capabilities and characteristics. By tailoring training regimens to each gender, badminton athletes can enhance their performance and reduce the risk of injuries. Based on these findings, it is recommended that badminton coaches and practitioners take into account the observed differences in the effectiveness of static and dynamic stretching based on gender.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136102953","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 recent years, there has been a technological revolution and development in all fields, particularly the sports field. This has imposed on man a lifestyle characterized by comfort at the expense of a significant portion of his movement and activities. The problem of obesity has expanded beyond the inconsistency of the body to include its direct effect of increasing the proportion of fat and the negative impact on the work of vital organs. This disruption alters the body's internal environment and causes numerous diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a sports program on taking vitamin D to lose weight and on some biochemical variables in young adults aged 30 to 35 years old. Materials and Methods. The study involved 10 overweight women aged 30-35 years, selected through intentional sampling. Inclusion criteria required consent, good health, and no ongoing vitamin D or exercise programs. The research employed a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design. Primary outcome measures encompassed body weight, body composition, lipid profile, and vitamin D status. Anthropometric measurements included age, height, weight, and training age. Biochemical measurements involved blood tests for cholesterol, triglycerides, and vitamin D levels. The experimental group received vitamin D tablets and a proposed aerobic exercise program for 12 weeks. Results. The proposed aerobic sports program with vitamin D intake improved biochemical variables, such as total fat, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density cholesterol, low-density cholesterol, OH, and Vitamin D-025 for the sample under investigation. The application of the aerobic program with vitamin D led to weight loss among the study's female participants. The aerobic program with vitamin D intake has a positive effect on the general health status of the sample. Conclusions. Based on the study's findings, it is recommended to consider the positive effects of Vitamin D on the overall functional state of the body, making it essential to incorporate an aerobic sports program across various age groups. Regular medical tests are crucial for monitoring and maintaining overall health. Emphasizing the importance of regular exercise is vital in preventing weight gain and reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases. By implementing these recommendations, individuals can enhance their overall well-being and lead a healthier lifestyle. To further validate these outcomes, similar studies should be conducted on different age groups and diverse samples.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136104014","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 the context of youth sports development, it is imperative to emphasize the critical importance of a comprehensive understanding of coordinating orientation training in young female volleyball players. Given the significant variations in physical and neurological growth patterns within this age group, addressing the methodological nuances of tailored training programs becomes paramount. This study aims to substantiate specific methodological approaches for planning coordination training among young female volleyball players, with a keen focus on accommodating the unique intricacies of their developmental journey. Material and Methods. Participants in this study included female volleyball players aged 10 (n=25), 11 (n=20), 12 (n=30), and 13 (n=20). The second phase of the study involved the analysis of four years of observations of female volleyball players aged 14 to 17 (n=24), who were carefully selected from a large pool of young candidates. Prior to their participation, both the children and their parents were provided with detailed information about the study, and informed consent was obtained. In the study, a series of tests were utilized, including “Backward Throw to Target”, “Stepping over a gymnastics stick”, “'Running to numbered balls”, and “Backward Shuttle Run (3x10 m)”. An expert assessment was conducted, involving the participation of highly qualified specialists (n=25). Results. The study has demonstrated a substantial increase in coordination abilities among female volleyball players aged 10 to 17. A significant improvement was observed in kinesthetic differentiation abilities (2.3 times). A somewhat smaller increase was noted in their abilities to coordinate and restructure movements and spatial orientation (1.4-1.6 times). The most pronounced and statistically significant improvements were observed in the age group of 10 to 12 years. Changes in volleyball players aged from 12 to 13 and from 13 to 14 in tests assessing the development of spatial orientation and coordination of movements were less apparent. Motor coordination indicators improved significantly in the age group of 14 to 16. Conclusions. The identification of age-related characteristics in the development of coordination abilities is crucial for implementing the principle of aligning biological development with pedagogical and training methods. Understanding the various ontogenetic stages is essential for effectively managing the long-term athletic development of young female volleyball players.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136018831","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 the physically demanding combat sport of Silat, strength and power dominate. Consequently, applying various stance widths during barbell hip thrusts may tailor athletes' lower-body exercises to individual needs. This has the potential to optimize performance. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact on performance of power, speed, and stance width among Silat combat athletes. Material and Methods. Participants performed 10RM tests in three stance widths: wider than shoulder width (WSW), normal shoulder width (NSW), and narrower than shoulder width (NRW). This was done using a 72-hour counterbalance cross-over study design. Power and velocity were measured and analyzed using a mixed ANOVA design. Results. The results indicated a significant main effect of stance width on power (F(2,56) = 3.086, p < 0.05) and velocity (F(2,56) = 3.683, p < 0.03) output. Both males and females demonstrated the highest power in NRW (M = 413.26, SD = 131.76; M = 239.53, SD = 111.16), followed by WSW and NSW. A strong positive correlation between power and velocity was observed for all stance widths: WSW (r(28) = 0.77, p < 0.001), NSW (r(28) = 0.79, p < 0.001), and NRW (r(28) = 0.89, p < 0.001). NRW was associated with superior power production, while WSW facilitated higher velocity. Conclusion. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of considering a variety of stance width techniques during exercise due to their effects on power and velocity during the barbell hip thrust exercise. Coaches can tailor training programs with a velocity-targeted strength and conditioning approach to enhance performance and competitiveness. Further research should investigate different athlete groups and age levels to refine training methodologies.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136018840","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}

To choose the ideal training or performance times, it is crucial to assess VO2 max performance across different time-of-day particular chronotypes. This study aimed to investigate the differences in VO2 max between the chronotype of university students during the morning and evening time of the day. Material and Methods. Fifty-two university students (26 morning type and 26 evening type) with mean age 23.05± 2.07 years, weight 66.71±4.31Kg and height of 170.90±5.18 cm and BMI of 22.75±1.91kg/m2 were recruited based on the results of the Horne-Ostberg Morningness- Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQs) participated in this Cross-over study. VO2 max was measured directly by gas collected using mouth tube breath to breath through the use of the gas analyzer the AD instrument (model-ML206) with an incremental graded maximal exercise test done on the treadmill. Results. The morning type group's VO2 max was significantly better in the morning hour than it was in the evening (p=.013), and when the VO2 max of the evening type group was measured in the morning and evening hours and compared, there was a statistically significant difference in favour of the evening hours (p=.004). Additionally, there is no discernible difference between the VO2 max of the morning type and the evening type group either in the morning hours or the evening hours, but trends indicate that the morning type group has a higher VO2max in the morning hour and the same is true for the evening type group in the evening hour. Conclusion. The findings of this study showed an interaction between chronotype and time of the day in VO2 max. For endurance training, trainers should consider the individual's chronotype and time of the day for exercise prescription.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136018842","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 development of kinesthetic and kinetic hand praxis in older preschool children is a prerequisite for successful learning in school conditions. The purpose of this study is to identify the current state of neuromotor functionality kinesthetic and kinetic hand praxis, which affects readiness for schooling, in older preschool children with speech pathology. Material and Methods. Research methods are aimed at studying the components of neuromotor functionality: kinaesthetic and kinetic wrist praxis. To study the kinesthetic praxis of the hands, the task \"Fine motility of the fingers\" was used. Kinetic praxis was studied during the task \"Differentiated movements of the hand\". They studied the formation of object-kinetic praxis during \"Performing actions with objects\". Results. The results of the experimental study give a clear idea that there are significant differences in the formation of neuromotor functionality between the groups of children with logopathology and those with normotypical psychophysical development. In older preschool children with speech disorders, low abilities were found when performing tasks of kinaesthetic and kinetic praxis: wrist (fussy movements of fingers and hands; searching for the right position, the incorrect joining of fingers, hand positions; the presence of perseveration of previous movements; underdeveloped fine motility of fingers of hands; difficulties in subject activities). Children are passive during classes, they need constant support from the teacher. Conclusions. The revealed unformed state of neuromotor functionality confirms our hypothesis. Impairment of neuromotor function of kinesthetic and kinetic hand praxis is present in a significant percentage of preschoolers with speech disorders, which becomes a characteristic feature of this category of children and affects further physical, intellectual, and semiotic development.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136104678","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}

Recent researches has demonstrated the relationship between physical activity levels and academic performance in schoolchildren. Most of them have sampled students from different schools and cities. Sometimes academic performance was influenced by other factors such as the type of teaching, the teaching staff or, for example, the assessment system. This research has tried to associate the practice of out-of-school physical activity with academic performance in a group of students, with the peculiarity that they all belonged to same Elementary school. Material and Methods. 120 students (67 boys and 53 girls), aged between 8 and 12 years, participated in this study once their parents or guardians were informed about the characteristics of the study. Academic performance was calculated from the average grades provided by their teachers in the first term. Physical activity levels were calculated using the APALQ questionnaire, categorising students into two types: active or sedentary. In the presence of a normal distribution, the difference between groups was obtained using Chi-Square and Student's t-test. In those cases where the distribution was not normal, comparison was carried out using the Mann Withney U. Results. The analysis of results showed that active students obtained significantly higher grades than sedentary students (8.15±1.17 vs. 7.35±1.15; p=0.042). This circumstance is maintained when analysing the results according to the students' gender, although it is only significant in the case of girls (8.08±1.22 vs 7.03±0.87; p=0.036). Conclusions.

Soccer is a demanding sport which, in addition to technical and motor characteristics, also requires exceptional functional abilities of athletes to play at a high level. The aim of this study: 1) To analyze the disparities in physiological parameters among professional soccer players in teams of varying levels. 2) To explore potential connections between team ranking positions and the physiological attributes of professional soccer players. Material and Methods. 91 professional soccer players who compete in Serbian Super league (age 24.14±5.15) were included in the study. Participants were classified into two groups. The first group consisted of players from teams that were ranked from third to sixth place at the end of 2021/2022 competitive season (n=49). The second group of participants consisted of the players of the teams that were ranked in the last two places at the end of the above-mentioned season (n=42). Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), as well as running speeds and heart rates at first and second ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2) were obtained by performing maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test. Results. The results showed a statistically significant difference in terms of VO2max values, running speeds and heart rates at VT1 and VT2 when the top and bottom ranked teams were compared (p < 0.001).
