Aim. The aim of this article is to develop coordination abilities in figure skaters aged 7–8 years from the initial training group with the help of a special educational and training program. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the premises of the Trud sports complex in Togliatti. Twenty figure skaters aged 7–8 years from the initial training group participated in the experiment. All participants were divided into 2 subgroups: the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG), 10 girls each. The main difference between groups was the use of a special exercise program in the experimental group aimed at the development of coordination abilities in figure skaters. In the control group, classes were held according to the standard educational program. The diagnostic technique included the computer program “Researcher of temporal and spatial properties of a person version 2.1”. Results. The article provides an experimental justification for the use of a set of exercises of special physical training (SPT) for the development of coordination abilities in skaters 7–8 years old. It was shown that at the initial stage of the pedagogical experiment (PE), the psychophysiological and motor indicators in the experimental and control groups did not differ significantly. Having introduced a set of exercises in the experimental group, we received a significant improvement in the spatio-temporal indicators and motor coordination compared to the control group. Conclusion. Using a set of exercises for the development of coordination abilities in figure skaters allows improving the ability of young skaters to move on ice and developing the locomotor functions of young skaters with improved coordination abilities.

  El propósito del estudio fue analizar el efecto de la intervención del programa de ejercicios coordinativos de equilibrio, reacción y diferenciación para fútbol, con las figuras M3, sobre el desarrollo de la coordinación motriz. Se realizó un diseño experimental con pretest, postest y grupo control. Participaron 25 niños de la escuela de fútbol Coofisam de Tarqui, Colombia. El grupo experimental fueron 13 niños (edad 12.57 años ± 0.72, talla 1.50 m ± 0.06, masa corporal 44.30 kg ± 9.65, IMC 20.32 ± 3.64) y el grupo control fueron 12 niños (edad 12.58 años ± 0.63, talla 1.48 m ± 0.08, masa corporal 45.85 kg ± 10.92, IMC 20.44 ± 280). El programa de ejercicios con las figuras M3 para fútbol fue de ocho semanas, 267 ejercicios, tres sesiones por semana e intensidad vigorosa. La coordinación motriz se midió con la prueba The KörperkoordinationsTest für Kinder. Se aplicó ANOVA factorial de diseño mixto. Los resultados indican interacción significativa de los factores tipo de intervención por grupo (p < .05). No se encontró efecto principal significativo del factor grupo (p > .05) y se encontró efecto principal significativo del factor tipo de intervención (p < .05). El efecto del programa de ejercicios para fútbol, con las figuras M3, fue positivo en el desarrollo de la coordinación motriz en los jugadores de la escuela de fútbol, lo cual sugiere que la práctica de ejercicios orientados a la mejora de las capacidades coordinativas de equilibrio, reacción y diferenciación produce mejoras en la coordinación motriz. Abstract. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect intervention of the coordination exercise program of balance, reaction, and differentiation for soccer, with the M3 figures, on the development of motor coordination. An experimental design was performed with pretest, posttest, and control group. 25 children from the Coofisam soccer school in Tarqui, Colombia participated. The experimental group was 13 children (age 12.57 years ± 0.72, height 1.50 m ± 0.06, body mass 44.30 kg ± 9.65, BMI 20.32 ± 3.64) and the control group was 12 children (age 12.58 years ± 0.63, height 1.48 m ± 0.08, body mass 45.85 kg ± 10.92, BMI 20.44 ± 280). The exercise program with the M3 figures for soccer was eight weeks, 267 exercises, three sessions per week, and vigorous intensity. Motor coordination was measured with The KörperkoordinationsTest für Kinder. Mixed design factorial ANOVA was applied. The results indicate a significant interaction of the type of intervention per group factors (p < .05). No significant main effect of the group factor was found (p > .05) and a significant main effect of the type of intervention factor was found (p <.05). The effect of the soccer exercise program, with the M3 figures, was positive in the development of motor coordination in the soccer school players, which suggests that the practice of exercises aimed at improving coordination abilities of balance, reaction, and differentiation produces improvements in motor coordination.

Abstract Background The coach attitude impacts the whole mind and body system of a child athlete from emotional and motivational aspects to motor skills like motor coordination. It translates into the ability to control and stabilize posture. The vestibular system plays an important role in this regulation. This system, next to the visual system and mechanoreceptors, is responsible for balance and control during posture transition. Moreover, the vestibular system is influenced by emotional factors. Therefore the authors of this study focused on the changes in the balance stability of children practicing sport after the implementation of the psychological workshops for coaches. Methods Fifty-nine children at the age of 9–12 practicing soccer, art gymnastic and sport gymnastic were divided into two groups. The experimental group consisted of 31 participants and 28 in the control group. Experimental group children were under the influence of the 3 coaches who attended three workshops over 12 weeks period. Control group children were coached by 5 coaches who attended no workshops. Postural stability tests were performed on children before and after the workshops. Results The statistically significant changes were observed in selected parameters of children’s balance stability after the experiment. The significant difference between the experimental and control group in Overall Stability Index (OSI) (p < 0.0002), Anterior–Posterior Stability Index (AP) (p < 0.01), Medial–Lateral Stability Index (ML) (p < 0.01) with eyes open were observed after the experiment. The results show a significant deterioration in control group contrary to the experimental group where the improvement trend was observed. Moreover, the difference between the groups was observed in OSI parameter (p < 0.005) with eyes closed after the experiment. Conclusion The results obtained by the authors of the current study may support the thesis that educating coaches allows for better results in postural stability of child’s athletes. Nevertheless, this thesis requires further research, with particular emphasis on the age and gender of young athletes.

In this paper, the authors presented a study aimed at determining the impact of coordination and speed training programs on morphological characteristics of classroom pupils. The sample of respondents included primary school pupils from Nis, aged 9 and 10 (± 6 months). The sample of 64 respondents was divided into two groups, an experimental and control group, 32 pupils in each group. The respondents of the experimental group were involved in the training process of exercising coordination and speed in additional PE classes, while the control group was involved only in regular PE classes. The results of the multivariate analysis of variance and the univariate analysis of variance showed that there are statistically significant differences in the morphological characteristics of the experimental group of respondents in the final measurement compared to the control group respondents  in the skin abdomen (ANTRB), the foreskin of the upper arm  (ANNAD), and the skin of the lower leg (ANPTK).

Purpose Exercise training has been shown to be an effective and integral component of non-pharmacological intervention for the control of blood pressure. The purpose of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of a supervised modified exercise program of moderate-intensity exercise for one hour per week including the use of a pedometer, and with the use of a pedometer alone without additional exercise in reducing blood pressure. Design/methodology/approach The study was a randomized control trial, with an experimental group of 30 people and a control group of 26 people. Participants were males and females aged 30-65 years with pre- to mild hypertension, and who were not receiving any drugs for the treatment of hypertension. Participants of the experimental group were assigned to a fitness program with supervised exercise once a week at the Golden Jubilee Medical Fitness Center, given access to a pedometer, and provided with health education. Participants in the control group were assigned to use a pedometer only. All experimental and control group members participated in the study for three months, as well as a follow-up at the third and sixth month. Findings Comparison of the experimental and control groups at the first, third, and sixth month, using repeated measures analysis found that interaction effect groups and times were significantly different for mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), body mass index (BMI), hip circumference (HC), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (p<0.05). Mean SBP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), BMI, waist circumference (WC), HC, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) within groups were significantly different (p<0.05). Mean WC, cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride between groups were significantly different (p<0.05). Both groups had SBP improved at the third and sixth month when compared with baseline data. Mean HDL increased in the experimental group and decreased in the control group. Multiple regression analysis showed that both groups were not statistically different after intervention, SBP was reduced in the experimental group when compared to the control group. However, at six months, members in the experimental group reported spending less time sitting or reclining on a typical day than members of the control group. Originality/value A supervised one-time per week fitness program combined with pedometer and pedometer alone were not different in reducing blood pressure, as both groups showed decreases in blood pressure. However, the group with the supervised exercise program tended to change sedentary behaviors in the longer term compared to those who used the pedometer alone.

Abstract ObjectiveRowing is one of the most physically demanding endurance sports requiring high levels of ventilation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of RMT on ventilatory parameters, aerobic fitness and rowing ergometer performance among 20 professional rowers (experimental (n = 11) and control (n = 9) aged 20–35 years in Sri Lanka.ResultsRowers in the experimental group were prescribed a RMT program comprising of breathing exercises while control group was prescribed a general exercise program for a 12 weeks. There were significant improvements in PIF, FVC, and VO2maxin the experimental group after 12-weeks (p < 0.05) while only VO2 max improved non-significantly in the control group (p > 0.05).Compared to the control, PIF improved significantly in the experimental group (p < 0.05). The rowers in the experimental group with higher PIF and VO2max performed better at 2000 m and 5000 m ergometer whereas in the control group, only VO2max was associated with better performance in 5000 m ergometer. This suggests that the RMT program had a significant effect in improving some ventilatory parameters and VO2max of the rowers resulting in better performance.Trial registration: Current Controlled Trials UMIN000040345, 08/05/2020. “Retrospectively registered”

Abstract Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a carbohydrate intolerance condition that is diagnosed for the first-time during pregnancy and is associated with various adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and child, such as increased rates of perinatal complications and long-term morbidity. Exercise is a strategy to reduce hyperglycemia experienced during gestational diabetes mellitus. One type of exercise that can be done is a social nervous exercise (SaSo). SaSo can stimulate the parasympathetic or myelinated vagus nerves and control blood glucose by stimulating autonomic nerves system so that nerve homeostasis and glucose homeostasis occur. This study aimed to determine the impact of a SaSo program consisting of warm-up, core (prayer movements) and cool-down exercises on glucose homeostasis (HOMA-IR) parameters in women with GDM. Methods The study used a quasi-experimental design. Thirty-seven women with GDM at 24-28 weeks gestation were divided into an experimental group (n=19) with a regularly supervised SaSo program (n=18). The control group received only standard antenatal care for GDM. The exercise program started from the time of diagnosis of diabetes to six weeks of intervention conducted twice per week with sessions lasting 40-45 minutes. Bivariate analysis was used to test the difference in means with pretest and posttest results. Results Majority of pregnant women were in the not at-risk age category for control and intervention groups (79% and 83%, respectively). The baseline data results for the experimental and control groups were homogeneous, with no difference in baseline variables (P>0.05). The social nervous exercise experimental group had lower mean difference (MD±SD) levels of insulin resistence in late pregnancy compared to the control group (-9.15±10.06 vs 3.42 ±14.84) (P=0.004). Conclusions A social nervous exercise program has a beneficial effect on insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels in late pregnancy. Further research needs to be done with larger studies to confirm the findings of this study. Trial registration: Ethical approval was obtained from the Medical and Health Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta (KE/0978/08/2019).

Objective: To investigate the effects of a 12 week aerobic and resistance exercise on body composition of adolescents with Down syndrome. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with 41 adolescents with Down syndrome, aged 15.5±2.7 years, divided into three groups: Aerobic Training Group (ATG; n=16), Resisted Training Group (RTG; n=15) and Control Group (CG; n=10). There were two types of training: aerobic, with intensity of 50-70% of the heart rate reserve 3 times/week, and resisted, with intensity of 12 maximum repetitions 2 times week. Both trainings were applied during a 12-week period. The percentage of fat evaluation was performed using plethysmography with Bod Pod(r) equipment. Waist circumference (WC), body weight and height were also measured. Paired t-test was used to compare variables before and after the exercise program. Results: The percentage of body fat did not change significantly for both groups that participated in the training intervention. However, CG showed a significant increase in this variable (31.3±7.2 versus 34.0±7.9). On the other hand, body mass index (BMI) and WC were significantly reduced for ATG (BMI: 27.0±4.4 and 26.5±4.2; WC: 87.3±11.1 and 86.2±9.7), while RTG and GC showed no differences in these variables. Conclusions: The aerobic and resisted training programs maintained body fat levels. ATG significantly reduced BMI and WC measures. Individuals who did not attend the training intervention increased their percentage of fat.

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a modified stretching exercise program on young women with menstrual low back pain. Overall, 127 young women were randomly assigned to the experimental ( n = 63) and control ( n = 64) groups. The experimental group followed the modified stretching exercise program, whereas the control group performed their usual activities. At 1, 4, 8, and 12 months, the experimental group had significantly lower scores on the visual analog scale for pain (95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.73, 1.96]; p < .05) and the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire than the control group (95% CI = [0.68, 2.03]; p < .001). At 12 months, the experimental group showed significantly higher exercise self-efficacy than the control group (95% CI = [–6.87, 0.62]; p = .003). These findings can be used to enhance self-care capabilities by using the modified stretching exercise program for young women with menstrual low back pain.
