Comparison of the different plyometric training volume on physical fitness in futsal players

Asmadi Ishak — 2024-12-12

This study aimed to compare the effect of 8 weeks of different plyometric training volumes on measures of physical fitness in futsal players. The study randomly assigned twenty-six male futsal players into two groups: low-volume plyometric training (LVPT: n=13) and high-volume plyometric training (HVPT: n=13). All subjects participated in an 8-week plyometric training (PT) program, twice a week, with varying training volumes. The LVPT group performed 50–120-foot contact per session, and the HVPT group performed 110–225-foot contact per session for the entire 8-week PT program. Pre- and post-test measurements consist of a countermovement jump to assess power, a 20-meter sprint for speed, and the t-test for agility. The results demonstrated a significant difference in the HVPT group regarding CMJ (p < 0.05), 20-m sprint (p < 0.05), and t-test (p < 0.05) during 8 weeks of plyometric training compared to the LVPT groups. In conclusion, HVPT is suitable for short-term performance enhancement and can be utilized by teams in the pre-season phase to prepare players for high physical demands. In contrast, LVPT is more suitable for gradual strength development and long-term injury risk reduction.

Kinematics of stationary sprint kayak balance control

Benderi Dasril — 2024-12-12

This study investigates the kinematic characteristics of balance control in stationary sprint kayaking. Researchers analysed the motion of body segments and the kayak under three distinct conditions: voluntary rolling, static balance with minimal movement, and static balance with controlled oscillations. The results indicate that experienced kayakers demonstrate better control and symmetry in their kayak motion compared to less experienced individuals. The pelvis plays a primary role in initiating kayak motion, while the trunk remains relatively stable. The head and shoulders contribute to balance by counteracting excessive oscillations, particularly during the voluntary rolling task. The study concludes that balance control in sprint kayaking is a complex skill involving the coordinated movements of various body segments and suggests that targeted training can enhance an individual's balance abilities. This research provides valuable insights that could inform the development of kayak balance training aids capable of simulating the medial-lateral rolling motion experienced on the water. This study also outlines the potential for developing technology-based balance training tools to train new athletes and improve the performance of experienced athletes.

Yazhou Song — 2024-12-12

The aim of this study is to explore the current status of the implementation of wushu teaching at the primary education level, and to analyse the popularity of the curriculum, the interest of students and the diversity of teaching models. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect detailed data on the teaching of wushu in 44 primary schools in Hebei Province, China, including curriculum, students' love, teaching models, teaching objectives, content, guidelines, methods, procedures, assessment and evaluation, and the use of teaching aids and considerations. The results showed that most schools had incorporated wushu into their curricula, but students' interest in the curriculum was low; the teaching model was based on the traditional “basic skills + routines”, with insufficient practical training; and the teaching objectives were oriented towards movement quality and physical fitness, with less emphasis on cultural education and moral education. The study points out that the current teaching of wushu has problems such as uneven allocation of resources, single teaching model, lack of interactivity and interest, limited setting of teaching objectives, lack of innovation in teaching methods, and imperfect assessment and evaluation system. In this regard, the following suggestions are made: strengthen the allocation of resources to ensure that all schools can carry out wushu courses; optimize the curriculum content and teaching methods to enhance interactivity and interest; and introduce the art of attack and defence and wushu morality to enhance students' overall quality; set more comprehensive teaching objectives, focusing on wushu interest, offensive and defensive skills and moral education; adopt diversified teaching methods and procedures, and increase practical training and interactive sessions; and establish a comprehensive assessment and evaluation system, and provide adequate teaching support and security to enhance the effectiveness of wushu teaching at the primary education level.

Participants were 20 elite paddlers and 20 junior paddlers of Johor and Wilayah Persekutuan state (n=40; male: 20 and female: 20). Participants underwent an anthropometric measurement (height, body mass, body mass index, body fat, skeletal muscles mass, visceral fat, and arm span), physical fitness test (push up, sit up, back extension, plank and 1.6km) and Psychology Performance Inventory (PPI) administration. The findings showed that there are significant differences between elite and junior in body mass (t=2.582, 0.015, p<0.05), skeletal muscles (t=4.780, 0.030, p<0.05), visceral fat (t=2.318, 0.026, p<0.05) and arm span (t=2.693, 0.011, p<0.05). There are also significant differences in all physical fitness components between elite and junior team including push up (t=3.874, 0.000, p<0.05), sit up (t=2.787, 0.008, p<0.05), back extension (t=2.279, 0.029, p<0.05), plank (t=4.679, 0.000, p<0.05) and 1.6km run test (t=-3.085, 0.004, p<0.05). There are significant differences on negative energy between men and women elite and junior canoe polo players (t=2.45, 0.02, p<0.05), visual and imagery (t=-1.25, 0.01, p<0.05) toughness between men and women elite and junior canoe polo players and the positive energy (t=-4.25, 0.00, p<0.05) and attitude control (t=-2.84, 0.01, p<0.05) between national and state elite and junior canoe polo players. In conclusion, the results showed that paddlers with longer arm spans have more canoe polo advantages. In terms of fitness level, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and aerobic capacity are essential components to excel in this sport. Meanwhile, the level of mental strength is important for performance development of each athlete and varies according to individual psychological health.

Kesan latihan pliometrik dan latihan mendaki terhadap tahap stres dalam kalangan atlet semasa kitaran haid

Prabhu Ragawan — 2024-12-12

Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti kesan program latihan pliometrik dan latihan mendaki terhadap tahap stres dalam kalangan atlet perempuan pada fasa sebelum, semasa dan selepas haid. Seramai 30 orang atlet daerah Cameron Highlands berumur 14-17 tahun terlibat sebagai peserta yang dibahagikan kepada 3 kumpulan iaitu kumpulan kawalan (n=10), kumpulan latihan mendaki (n=10) dan kumpulan latihan pliometrik (n=10). Intervensi latihan untuk kumpulan pliometrik dan mendaki dijalankan sebanyak dua kali seminggu selama 12 minggu pada fasa akhir folikel dan fasa awal luteal responden. Soal selidik “Profile of Mood States” (POMS2-Y Short) dilaksanakan semasa ujian pra dan pasca pada fasa sebelum, semasa dan selepas haid. Data dianalisis menggunakan ujian ANOVA tiga hala untuk mengenal pasti perbezaan antara kumpulan kajian, masa ujian, fasa haid dan interaksi antara kumpulan kajian, masa ujian dan fasa haid. Keputusan Ujian ANOVA tiga hala menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan signifikan antara kumpulan kajian (p<0.05) dan antara fasa haid (p<0.05). Kumpulan kawalan mencatatkan tahap stres yang tinggi berbanding kumpulan latihan pliometrik dan kumpulan latihan mendaki. Tahap stres juga didapati tinggi dalam fasa semasa haid berbanding fasa sebelum haid dan fasa selepas haid bagi ketiga tiga kumpulan. Kesimpulannya melakukan latihan yang terancang dan aktiviti fizikal membantu untuk mengawal tekanan mental dan fizikal kerana secara fisiologinya akan berlaku peningkatan paras norepineferin dalam otak yang dapat menstabilkan mood, menjadi lebih fokus dan bertenaga. Kajian membuktikan latihan pliometrik dan latihan mendaki sesuai untuk atlet perempuan kategori 14-17 tahun, namun perlu mengambilkira pemilihan fasa haid yang sesuai untuk pelaksanaan latihan supaya tahap stres adalah optima.

The effects of plyometric and hill training on leg muscle strength among athletes across different phases of the menstrual cycle

Prabhu Ragawan — 2024-12-12

This study aims to analyze the effects of plyometric and hill training on leg muscle strength among female athletes across the menstrual cycle phases. A total of 30 female athletes, aged 14 to 17, from the Cameron Highlands district participated in the study. The participants were divided into three groups: a control group (n=10), a hill training group (n=10), and a plyometric training group (n=10). The training interventions for the plyometric and hill training groups were conducted biweekly over a period of 12 weeks, specifically during the late follicular and early luteal phases of the menstrual cycle. Leg muscle strength was assessed using the squat jump test, conducted during both pre and post-intervention phases across different menstrual cycle phases. A three-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in leg muscle strength between the groups (p<0.05), at different test times (p<0.05), and across menstrual phases (p<0.05). The results indicated that leg muscle strength in the plyometric training group was significantly greater than control group (mean difference = 2.033, p<0.05) and the hill training group (mean difference = 1.367, p<0.05). Additionally, Tukey Post Hoc analysis demonstrated that leg muscle strength was significantly higher before menses compared to during menses (mean difference = 1.083, p<0.05) and also significantly higher after menses compared to during menses (mean difference = 1.667, p<0.05). These findings suggest that exercise serves as a mechanical stimulus for skeletal muscles, which must then be converted into biochemical signals to facilitate muscle adaptation. The hormonal fluctuations associated with the menstrual cycle, including variations in estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), are likely to influence strength outcomes. In conclusion, this study indicates that plyometric training effectively enhances leg muscle strength among female athletes aged 14 to 17, particularly when training is aligned with specific phases of the menstrual cycle for optimal results.
