LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.The purpose of this study was to examine the intrinsic motivation of University students in pursuing physical fitness training programs. 224 university undergraduate students (81 males and 143 females) who participated voluntarily in fitness training courses were included in this study. Participants were asked to complete a 7-item questionnaire to find out their intrinsic motivation of participating in the fitness training programs. Ratings of the questionnaire range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The motivation factors were ranked according to their mean scores. It was found that "to keep fit and strong" was top of the list, followed by "to improve health" and "to improve outlook". The implications of the rank order were discussed in the paper. Factor analysis of the motivation factors showed that there were two sub-factor components: physical factor and social factor. The reliability coefficients of the factors were 0.58 and 0.83 respectively. One way ANOVA results showed that significant difference was only found between genders in relation to the social factor. Social factor was seen to be a more important motivating factor in female participants of physical fitness training programs.本文旨在研究大學生參加健身訓練課程的內發動機。共有二百二十四名大學本科生自願參加這個研究，他們在參加課程後填寫一份有七條題目的問卷。問卷答案幅度由一(強烈反對)至五(強烈贊成)。動機因素方面以平均值去排列等級。結果顯示"保持身體強健"居於首位，跟著的是"改善健康"和"改善外表"。文中亦提及排列等級結果的含意。因子分析結果指出問卷內容有兩個次組合："體質"和"社交"。它們的信度係數分別是0.58和0.83。單向方差分析法表示"性別"和"社交"有顯著差異。"社交"被認為是女性參加健身訓練課程的一個重要內發動機。

Background: The most injuries of badminton players involve a critical association between the movement tasks and training programs strategies. This review highlights on the common musculoskeletal injuries experienced by badminton players. The large majority of injuries, when recognized early on, can be prevented effectively with minor adjustments in the training programs, rehabilitation of essential muscles and flexibility. Objectives: To determine the common musculoskeletal injuries experienced by badminton players To determine some probable cause of musculoskeletal sports injuries experienced by badminton players. Methodology: A review was conducted on articles published between the year 2007 to 2018 to draw a conclusion on the prevalence and prevention of the common musculoskeletal injuries in badminton players. 20 studies including research articles was reviewed. The studies were critically appraised and cross references were checked. Results and Conclusion: According to the results of this research the incidence of injury in the lower and upper extremities are relatively high in badminton players. The implementation of custom fit physical fitness training programme, physiotherapy, continual medical supervision, considering scientific and practical principles to all level of athletes can be effective in the prevention of sports injuries. Discussion: Further studies to be conducted in a broader perspective way. Also, physical fitness training programme should be formulated based on the demand of the sport and the athlete.

The Impact

IntroductionMetabolic syndrome (MS) is strongly associated with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes but can be prevented with regular physical activity. This study aimed to assess the impact of a physical fitness training programme on MS among military personnel.MethodsThis retrospective observational study included volunteer army soldiers who underwent annual health examinations between 2011 and 2014. In 2011, the reformed physical fitness training programme and physical fitness test were introduced to the participants. MS evaluation and physical fitness performances were evaluated before and after implementing the training programme using a mixed-effects model and generalised estimating equation, adjusted for sex, age and smoking.ResultsFrom 2011 to 2014, 1720 soldiers underwent the annual health examination. In 2011, before the fitness programme, 246 soldiers (14.3%) had MS. After implementation, decreases in blood pressure and fasting glucose levels were observed and maintained for 3 years. Running performance was negatively correlated to triglycerides (ß=−11.37; p<0.001) and waist circumference (ß=−0.42; p<0.001) and positively correlated to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (ß=2.14; p<0.001). The severity of MS was reduced following introduction of the physical fitness programme.ConclusionsMS and its components improved after introducing the reformed fitness programme, with running performance proving to be most relevant to MS. Clinicians should encourage increased physical activity to prevent MS among military personnel.
