This study aims to investigate anaerobic strength alterations of wrestlers who perform AMRAP (As many reps as possible) and Classic CrossFit pieces of training. The research was implemented on 32 male wrestlers who were challenged in the Turkish Wrestling 1st League in the season of 2018-2019. The volunteer participants taken part in test groups performed CrossFit models in the preseason for 8-weeks; Group I (Classic CrossFit) and Group II (CrossFit AMRAP). Bodyweight, height, and age values were recorded respectively by creating measuring parkour and arranged on MS Excel spreadsheet program. Two-factor variance analysis was used in repetitive measurements for identifying the differences between pre and final measuring anaerobic strength values of the participants. As findings, it was observed there was a significant difference in terms of group x time interaction dimension in back squat movement, 1 min on behalf of AMRAP. According to the simple effect test results, there were significant values in both groups. The numerical increase in some performance values of the AMRAP CrossFit training group after 8-weeks of training was more prominent than the classic CrossFit training group. In addition, AMRAP CrossFit training was effective in reducing body weight. Both models were found to have a positive effect on their physical capacities effectively. Although there are studies on CrossFit in the literature, there is no significant study on AMRAP and thus this study might be the pioneer in terms of contributions to the literature and lead to further comments on sports science as well. Thus, this study is significant to reveal the effectiveness of Amrap and CrossFit training on physical fitness parameters.

Abstract Background Different physical activities are widely recommended as non-pharmacological therapies to reduce blood pressure. However, the effectiveness of exercise programs is associated with its continuity and regularity, and the long-term adherence to traditional exercise interventions is often low. Recreational sports emerge as an alternative, being more captivating and able to retain individuals for longer periods. Besides, sport interventions have demonstrated improvements in physical fitness components that are associated with a lower incidence of hypertension. However, no studies have investigated the effects of recreational sports on 24 h ambulatory blood pressure. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of beach tennis training on ambulatory blood pressure and physical fitness in individuals with hypertension. Methods This study will be a randomized, single-blinded, two-arm, parallel, and superiority trial. Forty-two participants aged 35–65 years with previous diagnosis of hypertension will be randomized to 12 weeks of beach tennis training group (two sessions per week lasting 45–60 min) or a non-exercising control group. Ambulatory (primary outcome) and office blood pressures, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength/power and quality of life will be assessed at baseline and after the intervention period. Discussion Our conceptual hypothesis is that beach tennis training will reduce ambulatory blood pressure and improve fitness parameters in middle-aged individuals with hypertension. The results of this trial are expected to provide evidences of efficacy of recreational beach tennis practice on blood pressure management and to support sport recommendations for clinical scenario in higher risk populations.

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using the Kinect system during stationary rehabilitation. The study included 68 patients with COPD (35 men, 33 women, mean age 61.3 ± 3.7). The subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two experimental groups described below. Group I included 34 patients – non‐participants in Kinect training. Group II included 34 patients – participants in Kinect training. In all patients before and after rehabilitation physical fitness was assessed using the Senior Fitness Test (SFT). The Xbox 360 and Kinect motion sensor were used to carry out virtual reality training. In group I, statistically significant improvements in SFT performance were observed. Patients in group II also showed statistically significant improvement in physical fitness in all attempts of the SFT. Virtual rehabilitation training in patients with COPD seems to be a practical and beneficial intervention capable of enhancing mobility and physical fitness.

Introduction: Modifications in body composition parameters are considered health risk factors. Thus, exercise programs such as Cross Training emerge as an alternative to reduce health risk factors, especially the body composition of practitioners. Aim: To compare the adaptations from 10 weeks of Cross Training performed in a grouped and alternated manner on body composition and physical fitness of active young people. Methods: Sixty adults underwent ten weeks of two Cross Training programs, organized in grouped circuit (CTG: n=26; age 26,00 ± 7,00 y; body mass 67,90 ± 10,90 kg; BMI 24,30 ± 3,10 kg/cm2) and alternated (CTA: n=29; age 27,00 ± 8,00 y; body mass 69,00 ± 10,50 kg; BMI 25,00 ± 3,60). Before and after the intervention period, the subjects were evaluated on body composition and physical fitness parameters. Body and adipose mass were evaluated by bioelectrical analyzer (bioimpedance). Verification of physical fitness was performed using isometric deadlift, handgrip test and yoyo intermittent recovery test-IR2. Analysis of variance (2x2 ANOVA) with repeated measures, followed by Bonferroni post hoc test were used to compare means and detect differences between protocols, adopting p≤0.05 for statistical significance. Percentage change and effect size were also calculated for each dependent variable. Results: After the intervention period both training protocols presented statistically significant difference in relation to time in body composition parameters (muscle mass: p≤0,001 and fat mass: p≤0,001) and cardiorespiratory fitness (p≤0,01). Regarding the maximum isometric force, the CTG showed a significant difference when compared to the initial moment (Handgrip: p=0,02; Deadlift: p=0,03), a fact observed in the CTA group deadlift (p=0,05) only, (Handgrip: p=0,08). When confronted with each other, the groups showed no statistically significant difference in any comparison. Conclusion: Both training protocols were effective for improving body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness parameters in young adults.Keywords: exercise, anthropometry, resistance training.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of Plyometric Training (PT) and Resistance Training (RT) for improving speed ability of the Athletes. Total thirty six (N = 36) district level athletes were randomly selected. All the subjects were divided into three equal groups: i) Resistance Training Group (RTG) as Experimental Group-I, ii) Plyometric Training Group (PTG) as Experimental Group-II and iii) Control Group (CG). Experimental group-I underwent resistance training whereas experimental group-II underwent plyometric training for eight weeks. But the control group did not involve in any of the above treatments. In the present study speed ability was measured through 60 yard dash. To draw the statistical inference analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used followed by Tukey’s LSD test as post hoc test. Both RTG and PTG improved significantly with respect to the CG in speed ability. Significant difference was also observed between RTG and PTG in speed ability. It was also confirmed that the PTG improved better than the RTG in speed ability. From the above findings it can be concluded that PT is more effective training means than RT to improve the speed ability of the athlete.

Objective: Catheter management is conducted to the patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). There were many arguments between clinical practitioners about bladder training procedure after TURP procedure. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between bladder training action and success of spontaneous micturition in post TURP procedure in patients with urinary retention caused by prostate enlargement. Material & methods: Randomized clinical trial was conducted at Kardinah General Hospital, Tegal from October 2015 to February 2016. 44 study participants who underwent TURP were randomly allocated into two groups. In Group I, patient’s Folley catheter was clamped prior to its removal (bladder training group); and in Group II was not clamped (control group). Results: Mean age of patients was 64.48 ± 8.1 years old. There were 23 patients (52.3%) have had history of recurrent urinary retention and 21 patients (47.7%) have had not (p=0.560). There were 4 patients (17.4%) in Group I and 1 patient (4.7%) in Group II who required re-catheterization and discharge with catheter. There was no statistically significant difference in spontaneous micturition rate between bladder training group and control group (p=0.187).  Conclusion: The result of the current study identified that bladder training to patients undergoing TURP procedure had no significant impact in spontaneous micturition.

Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the reversal of shear bond strength of composite to bleached enamel immediately after bleaching followed by application of various antioxidant solutions. Material and Methods: Seventy central incisors were divided into seven groups. Groups I and II served as unbleached and bleached controls respectively. Groups III, IV, V, VI and VII served as the experimental groups and were subjected to 37.5% hydrogen peroxide bleaching followed by 10 min application of 10% sodium ascorbate, 25% alpha-tocopherol, 6.5% grape seed extract, 5% lycopene and 5% green tea extract respectively. Following composite bonding, shear bond strength was determined and the results were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons test. Results: The bond strength values for Group I (positive control) were maximum and significantly different than all the other groups except Grape seed extract group (Group V). When compared to Group II (bleached control), all the groups showed significantly higher bond strength. Significant difference in the bond strength values were seen between Group III (10% sodium ascorbate) and Group V. Also values for Group V were significantly different from Group VI (5% lycopene). All the other values showed insignificantly different results. Conclusion: All the antioxidant solutions improved the shear bond strength values after bleaching but only Grape seed extract application reversed the values to the non bleached levels. Lycopene was least effective. Other antioxidants showed comparable results.

The main aim of the present study was to compare the effects of flywheel strength training and traditional strength training on fitness attributes. Thirty-six well trained junior basketball players (n = 36; 17.58 ± 0.50 years) were recruited and randomly allocated into: Flywheel group (FST; n = 12), traditional strength training group (TST; n = 12) and control group (CON; n = 12). All groups attended 5 basketball practices and one official match a week during the study period. Experimental groups additionally participated in the eight-week, 1–2 d/w equivolume intervention conducted using a flywheel device (inertia = 0.075 kg·m−2) for FST or free weights (80%1 RM) for TST. Pre-to post changes in lower limb isometric strength (ISOMET), 5 and 20 m sprint time (SPR5m and SPR20m), countermovement jump height (CMJ) and change of direction ability (t-test) were assessed with analyses of variance (3 × 2 ANOVA). Significant group-by-time interaction was found for ISOMET (F = 6.40; p = 0.000), CMJ (F = 7.45; p = 0.001), SPR5m (F = 7.45; p = 0.010) and T test (F = 10.46; p = 0.000). The results showed a significantly higher improvement in CMJ (p = 0.006; 11.7% vs. 6.8%), SPR5m (p = 0.001; 10.3% vs. 5.9%) and t-test (p = 0.045; 2.4% vs. 1.5%) for FST compared to the TST group. Simultaneously, th FST group had higher improvement in ISOMET (p = 0.014; 18.7% vs. 2.9%), CMJ (p = 0.000; 11.7% vs. 0.3%), SPR5m (p = 0.000; 10.3% vs. 3.4%) and t-test (p = 0.000; 2.4% vs. 0.6%) compared to the CON group. Players from the TST group showed better results in CMJ (p = 0.006; 6.8% vs. 0.3%) and t-test (p = 0.018; 1.5% vs. 0.6%) compared to players from the CON group. No significant group-by-time interaction was found for sprint 20 m (F = 2.52; p = 0.088). Eight weeks of flywheel training (1–2 sessions per week) performed at maximum concentric intensity induces superior improvements in CMJ, 5 m sprint time and change of direction ability than equivolumed traditional weight training in well trained junior basketball players. Accordingly, coaches and trainers could be advised to use flywheel training for developing power related performance attributes in young basketball players.

Background:SLE is an autoimmune disease (AID) of unknown origin. Several factors can contribute to immune dysfunction in SLE.Interleukin 9 (IL9) is a newly emerging T cell-derived factor preferentially expressed by CD4+T cells: T helper 9 (Th9)IL9 targets different cell lineages, and can contribute to the development of allergic & AIDsWhether abnormal expression and secretion of IL9 are present in SLE patients (pts) still unidentified. It is also unclear whether IL9 exerts main proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory activities in SLE. T1DM is characterized by inflammation of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Insulitis progresses over time and β cells become destroyed then clinical DM is established. T1DM is regarded as a T cell-driven AIDObjectives:Evaluation of the expression of CD4+ IL9+ T cells & the level of IL9 in SLE pts compared to both healthy subjects & pts with another AID: T1DM.Also, to evaluate the correlation of these expressions with clinical features, laboratory parameters and SLE activityMethods:The study included: Group I 25 SLE pts fulfilling SLICC classification criteria divided into 2 subgroups (gps) according to SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) IA: 20 pts with mild to moderate activity (<12) IB:5 pts with severe activity (>12) recruited from rheumatology clinic or internal medicine ward (Rheumatology unit), Main University Hospital, Alexandria. Group II 15 healthy individuals as a first control gp. Group III 15 pts with T1DM fulfilling the American Diabetes Association criteria as a second control gp. All pts were subjected to history taking, clinical examination,laboratory investigations: CBC,LFT,KFT,ESR,CRP,ANA,Anti-dsDNA,Th9 cell expression detection by flowcytometry and serum IL9 by ELISAResults:There was no statistical difference between all gps as regards age & sex but a significant increased ESR in SLE compared to controls & T1DM p< 0.001 p=0.001Th9 expression was highly increased in SLE pts, range 0.13-4.54% & mean ±SD=1.50 ± 1.47% than both control gps. In healthy controls Th9 ranged between 0.0-1.29% with mean 0.37 ±0.52%, while in T1DM pts ranged between 0.03 to 2.13% with mean of 0.67 ± 0.59%. A high significant difference was found between SLE pts and controls p=0.001, an insignificant rise was seen in SLE pts compared to T1DM pts p=0.157. A high significant increase in Th9 was found in severe SLE: mean of 3.74 ±1.15% than in pts with mild to moderate SLE: mean 0.94±0.88% p=<0.001IL9 level was highly increased in SLE pts: mean of 42.83± 23.98 pg/ml than both control gps. In healthy controls the mean was 8.54±13.27, while in T1DM with mean of 29.17±16.09 pg/ml. A high significant difference was found between SLE pts and normal controls p<0.001 but an insignificant rise with T1DM p=0.294. A high significant increase in IL9 in pts with severe ds compared to mild to moderate pts p<0.001.A significant direct correlation between Th9 & IL9 and SLEDAI/105 A significant direct correlation between damage index and Th9 p=0.040 but not IL9 p=0.053In SLE no significant relation between Th9 or IL9 & clinical manifestations or disease duration.
