The subsequent closure of parks, gardens and equipped green areas prevented the use of these spaces for recreational motor activity or for walking. The purpose of this study is to describe the strategies adopted and the motor tasks identified in a particular period of limitation of individual and group travel for the over 65 years old population. The motor skills to be solicited must meet two criteria: they must be related to the daily life and senior independence skills; they must be identified among those most affected by a period of forced suspension of activities or forced sedentary lifestyle.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41999461","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 research aimed to gain an insight into the involvement of children in the realization of different physical activities compared to sedentary activities. The research was conducted by interviewing 149 parents whose children were enrolled in a preschool program in 2016. The results show that 21.5% of children are included in a preschool sports program. When it comes to children's activities outside institutional education, it is an encouraging fact that, despite the many stressful situations experienced by parents with preschool and early school-aged children, 77.2% of parents spend time with their children in indoor and outdoor play during the working week and the same amount of time during the weekends and holidays. However, despite this, it is a worrying fact that 83.9% of the children spend their free time watching TV and playing games on their computers and tablet. When we add to this the time spent on walking, swimming, or riding a bicycle, it can be concluded that already in the preschool period, children lead a more sedentary than active lifestyle.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47331826","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}

However, evidence-based research has displayed that an increase in fat metabolism, subsequently lower CHO oxidation, may provide sufficient energy during submaximal and maximal exertion through beta oxidation.For this reason, active volunteers were recruited to undergo a double-blind study to determine if an acute carbohydrate loading dietary supplement was effective in enhancing performance on a maximal oxygen uptake (VO2) test.Eleven college aged (22.09±1.3) students (male n=8, female n=3) participated in this double-blind randomized study. Subjects consumed either a CHO (1g/kg body weight) or placebo supplement followed by a 12 hour fast. Following this fast, first testing session consisted of a seven-point skin caliper for body composition (% body fat), fasting blood glucose as measured by point of care finger stick method using Abbott Precision blood glucose meter (mg/dL), and a VO2 max test (mL/kg/min) measured by a modified Tread Sport Treadmill Protocol. Prior to the second test date, the subject consumed either CHO supplement or placebo, followed by 12 hour fast. Second test day consisted of fasting blood glucose, and VO2 max test. Protocols were matched for the second bout of testing.A paired samples t-test (SPSS v.26) was conducted to determine significance (p≤0.05) on each of the four variables: VO2 max, fasting blood glucose (GLU), anaerobic threshold (AT), and respiratory quotient (RQ). No significant differences were found when comparing groups on all variables (VO2 p=0.923,GLU p=0.099,AT p=0.641, RQ p=0.372). Acute CHO loading has no significant impact on performance variables as defined by AT, RQ, and VO2 max.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44319494","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 test this ability the 15m Modified Shuttle Run Test (15m MSRT), based on the Wingate Cycle Test principles, was developed. Method: Two groups of five female soccer players from Germany (GER) (average age 19.2 years; range 18–21) and the United States of America (US), (average age 18.8 years; range 17–21) performed a 15m MSRT on two occasions to test the reliability. Maximum (Highest Lap Velocity (HLV)), minimum (Lowest Lap Velocity (LLV)) and average speed (Mean (Individual) Velocity (M(I)V)) of the individual player and average lap speed (Mean Lap Velocity (M(L)V)), the Fitness Index (FiI), Fatigue Index (FaI) and Speed–Endurance–Index (SEI) was calculated for the individual player as well as for the whole team. Results: The ICC and CV for the MLV was 0.95 and 1.41% resp (GER) and 0.72 and 3.24% (US), the Fitness Index (GER: 0.93 and 2.90%; USA: 0.78 and 4%) and Speed–Endurance–Index (GER: 0.95and 3.30%; US: 0.94 and 4.40%) Conclusion and recommendation: The 15m MSRT is a reliable tool to assess and monitor both individual and team running speed. The MIV is useful to individualize anaerobic capacity training.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41467446","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}
