Martial Arts Trauma Recovery Strategies Martial arts expose the practitioners to accidents that include injuries, especially traumatic. The technical, physical and psychological training along with the rest of the sport training factors are responsible for trauma production. Athletes make a huge physical and mental labor, therefore, both during training and competitions, they could acquire injuries of different severity.

Imagery training is currently an emerging training method as an auxiliary routine training exercises, it is mainly depends on psychological training and is more suitable for difficulty& beauty events, such as gymnastics, aerobics, martial arts. Imagery Training is easy to operate and does not require any special requirements, only a relatively quiet environment and body relatively relaxed time. Therefore, this article explore the imagery training in aerobics amateur training effect, provide a theoretical basis for the training.

Introduction/Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in concentrations of urea, creatinine, uric acid, proteins, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase (CK) and salivary amylase in saliva samples collected before, immediately after and 30 minutes after physical activity performed during basketball and mixed martial arts (MMA) training. Methods. Twenty-two athletes, 11 basketball players and 11 mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters, 18 men and four women, aged 15-24 years, participated in the study. Saliva samples were collected using sterile saliva containers (Salivette?) from all participants before training (sample 1), immediately after (sample 2) and 30 minutes after training (sample 3). The levels of all investigated biomarkers were measured spectrophotometrically using a biochemical analyzer. Results. Statistically significant differences were present among samples 1, 2 and, 3 in the concentrations of urea, AST and CK in samples collected from MMA fighters (Friedman test). Among three samples taken from basketball players, the significant differences were not observed for the analyzed parameters. When concentrations of all diagnostic markers were compared between basketball and MMA independently for samples 1, 2 and 3, statistically significant differences (Mann-Whitney U test) existed in concentrations of urea, uric acid, proteins and AST. Conclusion. Based on the results of the present study, the influence of the exercise on the levels of salivary diagnostic markers, such as urea, AST and CK, is more evident during MMA than basketball training. Saliva composition of MMA fighters and basketball players differ in terms of levels of urea, uric acid, proteins and AST.

<div><p>The aim of this study was to describe the perception of sports talent and excellence development in a sample of MMA fighters, and compare the obtained results with those of previous studies. A total of 42 adult (male and female) MMA athletes of several levels (amateur, semi-professional and professional) participated in the study. A socio-demographic questionnaire and the Psychological Characteristics of Developing Excellence Questionnaire – PCDEQ were used for collecting data. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and student’s <em>t-</em>test for means comparison. In general, MMA athletes obtained higher scores than those reported by samples of other sports in previous studies, and more specifically in factors I - Support for long-term success, II - Imagery use during practice and competition, and IV - Ability to organise and engage in quality practice. This can be explained due to the higher average age of our sample and the professional or semi-professional level already achieved by many of the MMA fighters. The study also revealed that MMA fighters may need specific psychological training related to factor III - Coping with performance and developmental pressures.</p></div>

The introduction launches an investigation into how martial arts differentiate themselves from violence, countering the commonplace assumptions that modern, hybrid sport fighting is a descent into brutality and that traditional martial arts transcend conflict. This section addresses the central paradox of combat sport training, that practicing actions associated with violence—punches, kicks, takedowns—can render a martial artist calmer, more focused, and more peaceful. The chapter illustrates how frames and devices associated with agonistic play allow fight sports to contend with the very risks they engage. Investigating the differences between fighting, as consensual and mutual, and violence, as non-consensual and one-sided, this chapter puts forward the central claim of Risk, Failure, Play: that play consists of techniques and practices that enable us to manage fraught realities with intelligence.

This chapter investigates how combat sport establishes itself as play, rather than violence, through its relationship to designated spaces. Opening with competing definitions of magic in martial arts versus in game theory, this section moves on to explore the importance of spaces of practice—boxing rings, cages, dojos, and academies—to martial arts and combat sport training. Spaces are transformed through practices that in turn rely on alterations of movement, time perception, and self-awareness. The chapter concludes with an exploration of edge play, acknowledging both that games often simulate situations that we would otherwise avoid and that the line between game and reality can, in the case of combat sport, be a thin one.

The goal: comparative analysis of psycho-physiological fitness of football players and differently skilled football referees. Research materials and methods. We studied indicators of psychomotor status, the level of development of speed and volitional qualities, subject-activity and communicative aspects of temperament of 15 football players aged 19-21, with the experience of sport training from 10 to 13 years, and 25 football referees of the first rank aged 25-32, with the experience of refereeing from 5 to 9 years. We compared the outcomes to identify the trend of convergence of the level of studied indicators. Research results and discussion. The study has demonstrated that about 50% of all subjects have a medium-weak type of nervous system, but there are referees with a strong type (16%). We have revealed that football players and referees have no significant difference in the period of implementation of the audio-motor reaction. Visio-motor reaction of football players is 16.44 ± 0.45 msec, which is faster than the reaction of referees by 10.6% (p <0.05). Repeated sprint ability of referees and players was not significantly different, average indicator at 40 m intervals was 5.63 sec. for referees and 5.25 sec. for players. Football referees demonstrate a very high work pace - 10.3 ± 0.32 c.u., life pace, activity, high rhythm of operations. Emotional background of players at work and in social communication was 6.0±0,59 c.u. and of 6.80 c.u. respectively, and it was twice higher than the indicators of referees (p< 0.001). Vitality indicators were the same for both groups. Conclusion. Modern football requires that a referee should obtain a new, higher level of physical and psychological training. Most of the quantitative indicators of the studied parameters of players and referees did not have significant difference, while the moral-volitional and emotional components differed significantly.

This experiment investigated the relationship between mental rotation and sport training. Undergraduate university students (n = 62) completed the Mental Rotation Test ( Vandenberg & Kuse, 1978 ), before and after a 10-month training in two different sports, which either involved extensive mental rotation ability (wrestling group) or did not (running group). Both groups showed comparable results in the pretest, but the wrestling group outperformed the running group in the posttest. As expected from previous studies, males outperformed women in the pretest and the posttest. Besides, self-reported data gathered after both sessions indicated an increase in adaptive strategies following training in wrestling, but not subsequent to training in running. These findings demonstrate the significant effect of training in particular sports on mental rotation performance, thus showing consistency with the notion of cognitive plasticity induced from motor training involving manipulation of spatial representations. They are discussed within an embodied cognition framework.
