Exploring the efficacy of isometric strength exercises in knee rehabilitation among football players
No full textBackground and study aim: Isometric strength exercises engage the intricate knee joint, including the femur, tibia, and patella, along with multiple muscles and ligaments, aiding in the rehabilitation of knee injuries while supporting movement and injury prevention. The specific objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of isometric strength exercises in rehabilitating the knee injuries among football players, assessing their impact on recovery and performance.
Material and methods: Thirty male ACL Knee injured football players were randomly assigned to isometric strength exercise group (ISEG) (N=15) (Age; 20±1.9, Height;171±4.5, Weight; 60±6.0) and control group (Age;21±1.3, Height;173±4.4, Weight; 63±8.2) and their age ranged between 18 and 23. Subjects were randomly selected from various football academies in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Thirty subjects who will diagnosed by a physiotherapist and help of orthopaedician as having knee injuries in football players and who showed a typical restriction of Range of motion (ROM). Fifteen subjects underwent rehabilitation (Isometric Strength exercise Group) and the other 15 underwent cryotreatment (Control Group). Analysis was based on the active and passive flexion Range of motion (ROM) were measured by kinovea-0.9.5 software. Means and standard deviations (±) described all data, with Shapiro-Wilk tests checking for normality (p< 0.05). A dependent 't' test determined significant mean differences between experimental and control groups (p < 0.05).
Results: The participants who underwent a regimen of Isometric strengthening exercises exhibited notable enhancements in their range of motion (ROM), highlighting the effectiveness of this comprehensive approach significantly improved in active and passive flexion Range of motion (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Isometric strength exercises demonstrate promise in enhancing knee rehabilitation outcomes among football players, warranting further exploration and implementation compared to control group
Investigating the Effectiveness of Six-Week Plyometric Training Intervention on Speed-Strength Fitness Abilities of Male Team Handball Players
No full textBackground and study aim: Plyometric training is widely acknowledged as an effective option for athletes to attain improved physical performance. A variety of exercises involving the lower limb's stretch-shortening cycle can be used for plyometric training. Numerous studies have examined the impact of plyometric training on various outcomes in various populations over the past few decades.
Objective: This study set out to ascertain how a six-week plyometric training programme affected the development of speed-strength fitness measurements in male team handball athletes.
Material and methods: Total of thirty intercollegiate level team handball athletes were randomly assigned to 2 groups i.e. plyometric training group with an average age of 20.7 ± 0.7 years, height of 175.3 ±4.2, weight of 75.1 ± 4.1 and BMI of 24.43 ± 0.97; control group with an average age of 20.8 ± 0.7, height of 175.1 ± 4., weight of 74.9 ± 3.1 and BMI of 24.47 ± 1.37. The linear sprint (10 m and 30 m), standing long jump (SLJ), and change of direction sprint (CODS) were evaluated before and after the intervention for thirty male team handball athletes who were randomly assigned to either the plyometric training group (PTG) (n = 15) or the control group (CG) (n = 15).
Results: Within group changes were analyzed using paired t-test. The significant differences obtained between the tests in all dependent variables.
Conclusion: When it comes to linear sprints, standing long jumps, and change of direction sprints, plyometric training works better than CG. Consequently, adding either plyometric training or sport-specific training to an athlete's regimen may help male team handball players achieve greater speed-strength fitness
Вплив шеститижневого курсу практики сур’я-намаскара на розвиток гнучкості спини та згинання поперекового відділу хребта у студентів коледжу чоловічої статі
No full textStudy purpose. The strenuous Surya Namaskar exercise programme has gained considerable popularity among contemporary yoga practitioners. Its special combination of yogic breathing techniques, asanas (postures) and dharana (focused mind concentration) helps to improve flexibility. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an original six-week course of Surya Namaskar on back flexibility and lumbar flexion in male college students.
Materials and methods. Thirty male college students aged between eighteen and twenty years were randomly assigned to treatment group (Surya Namaskar practice) (n=15) and control group (n=15). The treatment group performed Surya Namaskar practice for six weeks, while the control group did not participate in any treatment other than their regular activities for six weeks. Back flexibility and lumbar flexion of the subjects were assessed at the baseline and after six weeks.
Results. Back flexibility and lumbar flexion increased in the treatment group after six weeks of Surya Namaskar practice.
Conclusions. The current Surya Namaskar procedure contributes to the kinanthropometric well-being of male college students in terms of back flexibility and lumbar flexion. Surya Namaskar should be included in school and college curriculum because of its numerous physical and physiological benefits.Мета дослідження. Інтенсивна програма комплексу вправ сур’я-намаскара набула значної популярності серед сучасних практиків йоги. Особливе поєднання методик йогівського дихання, асан (поз) і дхарани (сфокусованої концентрації свідомості) сприяє покращенню показників гнучкості. Метою цього дослідження було вивчити ефективність оригінального шеститижневого курсу cур’я-намаскара на розвиток гнучкості спини та згинання поперекового відділу хребта у студентів коледжу чоловічої статі.
Матеріали та методи. Тридцять студентів коледжу чоловічої статі віком від вісімнадцяти до двадцяти років були рандомізовані до основної групи (практика сур'я-намаскара) (n=15) і контрольної групи (n=15). Основна група виконувала комплекс вправ сур’я- намаскара протягом шести тижнів, тоді як контрольна група не брала участі в жодному курсі тренувань, окрім своїх звичайних видів активності протягом шести тижнів. Гнучкість спини та згинання поперекового відділу хребта у досліджуваних осіб оцінювали на початковому етапі та через шість тижнів.
Результати. Зростання показників гнучкості спини та згинання поперекового відділу хребта спостерігалося в основній групі дослідження після проведення шести тижнів практики сур’я-намаскара.
Висновки. Сучасна процедура комплексу вправ сур’я-намаскара сприяє покращенню стану кінантропометричних показників у студентів коледжу чоловічої статі з точки зору гнучкості спини та згинання поперекового відділу хребта. Завдяки численним фізичним і фізіологічним перевагам, сур’я-намаскара має бути включена до навчальної програми шкіл та коледжів
