  Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio fue: i) Caracterizar el perfil del rendimiento físico de los futbolistas con parálisis cerebral (PC) de la selección Chilena de fútbol 7 acorde a su clasificación deportiva (CD) y posición de juego; ii) Analizar la relación entre las variables de rendimiento físico con la CD. Método: Participaron 19 jugadores varones con PC pertenecientes a la selección Chilena de fútbol 7 agrupados según CD (FT1, FT2, FT3) y posición de juego. Se realizaron mediciones de agilidad (AG), capacidad de realizar sprint repetido (RSA), distancia recorrida en la prueba Yo-Yo (D), capacidad de salto con las pruebas Squat Jump (SJ) y Countermovement Jump (CMJ). Resultados: Se encontraron diferencias significativas de acuerdo a las CD donde los jugadores FT3 lograron un mayor rendimiento en las pruebas de AG y D comparado con FT2 y FT1, no así para RSA donde solo fue superior a FT1. Mediocampistas lograron un mayor rendimiento con un tamaño del efecto grande en todas las variables en comparación a las posiciones de defensa y delantero. Se observaron relaciones fuertes y muy fuertes entre todas las variables de rendimiento físico, así también para las relaciones con la CD a excepción de SJ y CMJ. Conclusión: Se deben considerar las características específicas de cada CD de los jugadores con PC en conjunto con la posición de juego y la táctica del equipo en sí misma, conjugando una serie de factores que busquen lograr los más altos niveles de rendimiento físico y deportivo. Abstract. Objective: The aims of this study were: i) Characterize the physical performance profile of cerebral palsy (CP) football players of the Chilean national team of football 7 a-Side according to the sport classification (SC) and playing position; ii) Analyze the relationship between physical performance variables and the SC. Method: 19 male football players with CP belonging to the Chilean national team of football 7 a-Side participated and were grouped according to SC (FT2; FT2; FT3) and playing position. Measurements of Agility (AG), repeated sprint ability (RSA), the covered distance in the Yo-Yo test (D), jump ability in Squat Jump (SJ), and Countermovement Jump (CMJ) test were made. Results: Significant differences were found according to SC, where FT3 players achieved higher performance in AG and D tests compared to FT2 and FT1, not for RSA, which was only higher than FT1. Midfielder achieved a higher performance with a large effect size in all variables compared with defender and forward positions. Strong and very strong relationships were observed between all the physical performance variables, as well as for relationships with SC except for SJ and CMJ. Conclusion: The specific characteristics of each SC of CP players must be considered in conjunction with the playing position and the team's tactics, combining a series of factors that seek to achieve the highest levels of physical and sports performance.

  The aims of the present study were to analyse the relationship between the physical performance and the match load in cerebral palsy (CP) football players, and to analyse the possible impact of the Spanish League format (playing two matches on two consecutive days) on the players’ match load. Data for a Spanish CP football team (n=10; age: 31.0 ± 8.9 years; weight: 66.1 ± 8.6 kg; height: 172.2 ± 7.8 cm; BMI: 22.5 ± 2.9 kg·m-2) included anthropometric (weight, height and BMI), physical performance (CMJ, 5, 10 y 20-m sprint y MAT) and match load variables (distance covered, accelerations and decelerations, heart rate, speed and player load) from two official matches. The players’ physical performance, but not their anthropometrical measurements, correlated to the match load variables (r = 0.76–0.95; p = 0.04–0.01), except for accelerations, decelerations and heart rate-related variables (p > .05). Players’ match load data were not statistically different between matches. The results suggest that players’ physical performance influences the match load variables, and these players’ load variables in competition do not seem to be affected by the fact of playing two matches on two consecutive days. The way in which the players’ physical performance and fatigue may affect the match load variables needs more research in CP football.  Resumen. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron analizar la relación entre el rendimiento físico y la carga de partido en jugadores de fútbol con parálisis cerebral (PC), y analizar la posible influencia del formato de la Liga Española (en la que se juegan dos partidos en días consecutivos) en la carga de partido. Los datos obtenidos de un equipo español de fútbol PC (n=10; edad: 31.0 ± 8.9 años; peso: 66.1 ± 8.6 kg; altura: 172.2 ± 7.8 cm; IMC: 22.5 ± 2.9 kg·m-2) incluyó variables antropométricas (peso, altura e IMC), de rendimiento físico (CMJ, 5, 10 y 20-m sprint y MAT) y variables de carga de partido (distancia recorrida, aceleraciones y deceleraciones, frecuencia cardiaca, velocidad y carga del jugador) en dos partidos oficiales. El rendimiento físico de los jugadores, pero no las variables antropométricas correlacionaron con la carga de partido (r = 0.76–0.95; p = 0.04–0.01), excepto para las aceleraciones, deceleraciones y variables relacionadas con la frecuencia cardiaca (p > .05). Los datos acerca de la carga de partido no fueron significativamente distintos entre partidos. Los resultados sugieren que el rendimiento físico de los jugadores de fútbol PC influyen en la carga en competición y esas variables de carga de partido no parecen estar afectadas por el hecho de jugar dos partidos en días consecutivos. La manera en la que el rendimiento físico de los jugadores y la fatiga puede afectar en la carga de partido necesita mayor investigación en fútbol PC.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of physical performance on the relationship between night sleep duration and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in elderly Chinese without CVD.Methods782 participants without CVD over 65 years (average: 70.82±3.86 years, 448 women) were included in this study. CVD risk was calculated by the Framingham Risk Score and participants were divided into four groups of night sleep duration (in hours): <7 hours, ≥7–8 hours, >8–9 hours and >9 hours. Upper extremity function was measured by grip strength and lower extremity function was measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), consisting of balance, 4 m walk and chair stands tests.ResultsAfter adjusting for covariates, long night sleep duration (>9 hours) and CVD risk were significantly positively associated compared with moderate night sleep duration (≥7–8 hours) (β=1.152; 95% CI 0.05 to 2.25). SPPB total score (indirect effect ab=−0.122; 95% CI −0.291 to –0.0008) rather than grip strength partially mediated the relationship between long night sleep duration and CVD risk, in which chair stands played a major mediating role (indirect effect ab=−0.171; 95% CI −0.040 to –0.0006), while balance (indirect effect ab=−0.016; 95% CI −0.100 to 0.063) and 4 m walk (indirect effect ab=0.048; 95% CI −0.066 to 0.201) did not.ConclusionsLower extremity function, especially lower limb muscle strength, partially mediates a positive association between long night sleep duration and CVD risk in the elderly without CVD. Suitable interventions for physical performance and sleep may minimise the risk of subsequent CVD.

The notion of comfort with respect to rides, such as roller coasters, is typically addressed from the perspective of a physical ride, where the convenience of transportation is redefined to minimize risk and maximize thrill. As a popular form of entertainment, roller coasters sit at the nexus of rides and games, providing a suitable environment to measure both mental and physical experiences of rider comfort. In this paper, the way risk and comfort affect such experiences is investigated, and the connection between play comfort and ride comfort is explored. A roller coaster ride simulation is adopted as the target environment for this research, which combines the feeling of being thrill and comfort simultaneously. At the same time, this paper also expands research on roller coaster rides while bridging the rides and games via the analogy of the law of physics, a concept currently known as motion in mind. This study’s contribution involves a roller coaster ride model, which provides an extended understanding of the relationship between physical performance and the mental experience relative to the concept of motion in mind while establishing critical criteria for a comfortable experience of both the ride and play.

Background: Hypokinetic dysarthria and dysphagia are known features of Parkinson’s disease; however, self-perception of their handicapping effects on emotional, physical, and functional aspects of quality of life over disease duration is less understood. Objective: 1) Based upon patient self-perception, to determine the relationship of the handicapping effects of dysphagia and dysphonia with time since diagnosis in individuals with Parkinson’s disease; 2)To determine if there is a relationship between voice and swallowing handicap throughout the course of Parkinson’s disease. Method: 277 subjects completed the Dysphagia Handicap Index and the Voice Handicap Index. Subjects were divided into three groups based on disease duration: 0–4 years, 5–9 years, and 10 + years. Results: Subjects in the longer duration group identified significantly greater perceptions of voice and swallowing handicap compared to the shorter duration groups. There was a significant positive correlation between the DHI and VHI. Conclusion: Self-perception of swallowing and voice handicap in Parkinson’s disease are associated with later stages of disease and progress in a linear fashion. Self-perception of voice and swallowing handicap parallel each other throughout disease progression in Parkinson’s disease. Individuals may be able to compensate for changes in voice and swallowing early while sensory perceptual feedback is intact. Results support early targeted questioning of patient self-perception of voice and swallowing handicap as identification of one problem indicates awareness of the other, thus creating an opportunity for early treatment and maintenance of swallowing and communication quality of life for as long as possible.

This study investigated the mediating role of depressive symptoms among 147 middle-aged and older adults with FM in the relationship between pain intensity and 4 objective measures of physical performance: Fullerton Advanced Balance scale (FAB), 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), 30-Second Chair Stand (30SCS), and 8-Foot Up and Go Test (8FUPGT). Asymptotic mediation analyses revealed that depressive symptoms fully mediated the relationship between pain intensity and FAB (95% CI [−0.40, −0.10]) and 8FUPGT (CI [0.02, 0.11]) and partially mediated the relationship to 6MWT (CI [−9.15, −2.20]) and 30SCS (CI [−0.29, −0.06]). Findings support the evaluation of co-morbid depression in FM.

Circulating Levels

ObjectiveIn aging populations, poor handgrip strength has been associated with physical disability and mortality. IGF1 is an important mediator of muscle growth and regeneration affecting muscle function. We studied the relationship between circulating levels of IGF1, its binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), and handgrip strength and physical performance in middle-aged- and oldest-old subjects.DesignCross-sectional analysis in two different cohorts composed of middle-aged- (n=672, mean 63.9±6.7 years) and oldest-old subjects (n=272, all 89 years).MethodsHandgrip strength, functional performance and ability, and serum levels of IGF1 and IGFBP3 were measured in all subjects and analyzed by linear regression for men and women separately.ResultsIGF1 and IGFBP3 levels declined with chronological age and were positively associated with handgrip strength in middle-aged- and oldest-old women (both, P<0.05), but not in men of either age group. Furthermore, higher serum levels of IGF1 were associated with slower walking speed in oldest-old men (P=0.012), and serum levels of IGFBP3 were positively associated with activities of daily living in the oldest-old women (P=0.002).ConclusionThe significant relationship between IGF1 levels and muscle strength found in women but not in men suggests a gender-specific influence of IGF1 on muscle strength. Further studies are necessary to test the relationship with physical performance.
