Fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by chronic pain and frequently associated changes in mood states. The aim of this study was to analyze the acute effect of strength training (ST) sessions on the mood states of patients with fibromyalgia. A total of 110 FM patients were eligible for this study. After the inclusion criteria, twenty-eight women with FM (mean age: 51.88±10.22 years) performed three sessions of ST. Each training session worked the main muscle groups and lasted 60 min. Three sets of 12 repetitions were performed with 1-min intervals between them. Outcome measures were assessed at baseline, after one session, and after three ST sessions. The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) was used to assess mood states, and the Wilcoxon test was used to verify differences in mood after one and three ST sessions. The ST practice had positive effects on the patients’ mood states after a single session. Reductions in anger, mental confusion, mood depression, fatigue, and tension were observed. The results of the 3rd ST session were similar. We concluded that a single ST session was sufficient to improve the mood states of patients with fibromyalgia.

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to analyze the effect of one session and three sessions of strength training (ST) on pain in women with fibromyalgia (FM). METHOD: Twenty-three women with FM performed three sessions of ST for a week. Each training session worked the main muscle groups and lasted 60 min. Three sets of 12 repetitions were performed with 1 min intervals in between. The load was increased based on the perception of subjective effort of each patient. Pain intensity was evaluated immediately after the first and third sessions using a Fischer digital algometer. RESULTS: After the first ST session, pain reduction was observed. No significant differences were found in pain thresholds on the baseline versus the third session. The analysis of MBI demonstrated that the ST does not worsen patients’ pain, indicating a 52.2% trivial effect and a 39.1% beneficial effect. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that there is no harmful effect on the pain of women with FM after an acute session of ST. We emphasize that despite the promising results, more studies on the subject are needed to help understand pain in patients with FM.

The present study examined the influence of training, followed by a short period of detraining, on postprandial lipaemia. Fourteen normolipidaemic, recreationally active young adults aged 18–31 years participated, in two self-selected groups: three men and five women (BMI 21·7–27·6 kg/m2) completed 13 weeks of running training, after which they refrained from exercise for 9 d; three men and three women (BMI 21·5–25·6 kg/m2) maintained their usual lifestyle. Oral fat tolerance tests were conducted at baseline and again 15 h, 60 h and 9 d after the runners' last training session. Blood samples were drawn after an overnight fast and at intervals for 6 h after consumption of a high-fat meal (1·2 g fat, 1·4 g carbohydrate, 70·6 kJ energy/kg body mass). Heparin was then administered (100 IU/kg) and a further blood sample was drawn for measurement of plasma lipoprotein lipase (EC3.1.1.34; LPL) activity. Endurance fitness improved in runners, relative to controls (maximal O2uptake +3·2 (SE 1·1) ml/kg per minv.− 1·3 (SE 1·2) ml/kg per min; P < 0·05). In the absence of the acute effect of exercise, i.e. 60 h after the last training session, there was no effect of training on either postprandial lipaemia or on post-heparin LPL activity. However, changes during 9 d of detraining in both these variables differed significantly between groups; after 2 d without exercise (60 h test), the runners' lipaemic response was 37% higher than it was the morning after their last training session (15 h test; runnersv.controlsP< 0·05), with a reciprocal decrease in post-heparin LPL activity (P< 0·01). These findings suggest that improved fitness does not necessarily confer an effect on postprandial lipaemia above that attributable to a single session of exercise.

The objective of this study was to investigate how many strength training sessions would be necessary to achieve significant increase in load. A group of 7 men and 14 women over 60 years old were recruited for the survey. The participants underwent combined training (strength and aerobic exercise), with 2 sessions of strength exercise and 3 sessions of aerobic exercise per week during 16 weeks. The strength exercise was composed of 5 exercises for the main muscle groups (knee extension, knee curl, leg press, bench press, high pull), 1 set of 15 repetitions was performed for each exercise. The aerobic exercise consisted of continuous walking/running on a treadmill, at 60% of the VO2 reserve, for 50 minutes. The loads were recorded at each training session. Participants were encouraged to always score between 7 and 8 on the effort perception scale (0 to 10). In the present study we observed that both genders had an increase in the amount of load used. The combined training protocol is capable of increase the load in the strength training in the first 8 training sessions differentianting between exercises and gender.

Purpose: To examine the acute effect of dry-land strength training on physiological and biomechanical parameters in a subsequent swim training session. Methods: Twelve male swimmers (age: 19.0 [2.2] y, peak oxygen uptake: 65.5 [11.4] mL·kg−1·min−1) performed a 5 × 200-m test with progressively increasing intensity. Blood lactate (BL) concentration was measured after each 200-m bout, and the speed corresponding to 4 mmol·L−1 (V4) was calculated. In the experimental (EXP) and control (CON) conditions, swimmers participated in a swim training session consisting of 1000-m warm-up, a bout of 10-second tethered swimming sprint, and 5 × 400 m at V4. In EXP condition, swimmers completed a dry-land strength training session (load: 85% of 1-repetition maximum) 15 minutes before the swimming session. In CON condition, swimmers performed the swimming session only. Oxygen uptake, BL concentration, arm-stroke rate, arm-stroke length, and arm-stroke efficiency were measured during the 5 × 400 m. Results: Force in the 10-second sprint was not different between conditions (P = .61), but fatigue index was higher in the EXP condition (P = .03). BL concentration was higher in EXP condition and showed large effect size at the fifth 400-m repetition compared with CON condition (6.4 [2.7] vs 4.6 [2.8] mmol·L−1, d = 0.63). During the 5 × 400 m, arm-stroke efficiency remained unchanged, arm-stroke length was decreased from the third repetition onward (P = .01), and arm-stroke rate showed a medium increment in EXP condition (d = 0.23). Conclusions: Strength training completed 15 minutes before a swim training session caused moderate changes in biomechanical parameters and increased BL concentration during swimming. Despite these changes, swimmers were able to maintain force and submaximal speed during the endurance training session.

This study examined the acute effect of strength and endurance training sequence on running economy (RE) at 70% and 90% ventilatory threshold (VT) and on running time to exhaustion (TTE) at 110% VT the following day. Fourteen trained and moderately trained male runners performed strength training prior to running sessions (SR) and running prior to strength training sessions (RS) with each mode of training session separated by 6 h. RE tests were conducted at baseline (Base-RE) and the day following each sequence to examine cost of running (CR), TTE, and lower extremity kinematics. Maximal isometric knee extensor torque was measured prior to and following each training session and the RE tests. Results showed that CR at 70% and 90% VT for SR-RE (0.76 ± 0.10 and 0.77 ± 0.07 mL·kg–0.75·m–1) was significantly greater than Base-RE (0.72 ± 0.10 and 0.70 ± 0.11 mL·kg–0.75·m–1) and RS-RE (0.73 ± 0.09 and 0.72 ± 0.09 mL·kg–0.75·m–1) (P < 0.05). TTE was significantly less for SR-RE (237.8 ± 67.4 s) and RS-RE (275.3 ± 68.0 s) compared with Base-RE (335.4 ± 92.1 s) (P < 0.01). The torque during the SR sequence was significantly reduced for every time point following the strength training session (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were found in torque following the running session (P > 0.05), although it was significantly reduced following the strength training session (P < 0.05) during the RS sequence. These findings show that running performance is impaired to a greater degree the day following the SR sequence compared with the RS sequence.

The article, based on the analysis and generalization of data from literature sources and practical experience, identifies the main features of the organization and planning of athletics classes with student youth. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the nature and length of training cycles in athletics depends on the method of training, the nature of the means of recovery and patterns of development of sports form. It is emphasized that the effectiveness of training is determined by the weight of the load, the intensity of work, the number of approaches and repetitions, the sequence of individual exercises in training, the number of exercises in a weekly cycle and rest time between approaches. It is noted that the structure of a separate training session in athletics is characterized by general principles of construction, regardless of its content or form, and consists of three parts: preparatory, basic and final. The comparative analysis of the training equipment of various design is carried out. It is shown that simulators by dosed physical activity and targeted impact on certain muscle groups can selectively affect the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems. It is optimal to conduct athletics classes with student youth three times a week in the form of optional classes. This number is due to the fact that most students have a low level of physical fitness and health, namely the strength training is facilitated by the technique, which provides for three classes during the week cycle. One of the conditions for improving the efficiency of this process is to build an algorithm for the annual cycle of athletics, taking into account the peculiarities of the training schedule. This allows you to ensure the optimal dynamics of strength training depending on the periods of the semester, exam session, practice, winter and summer vacations. This algorithm allows to achieve correspondence between the factors of pedagogical influence and restorative measures, rational use of various tools and methods of force development, which allows to systematically and gradually increase the load in the process of training. During the first semester, students' strength abilities are improved. The first month (September) should be aimed at gradually preparing students for further strength training with a higher intensity and volume of strength. The intensity of the load this month is relatively small, but the volume sometimes reaches significant values.

The article considers the conjugation of methods of technical - tactical and speed - strength training in various sports, including boxing. Some interaction between technical - tactical and speed - power training is revealed. The expediency of such training for girls and juniors who are engaged in boxing is substantiated. The purpose of the research is to study the influence of the combination of technical - tactical with speed - strength preparation in the training of girls and juniors. The task of the research is to determine the feasibility of using this method in the training of girls and juniors in boxing. Material and research methods: theoretical analysis of special and scientific literature, generalization of data, material of the Internet. Research results: the author analyzes innovative methods of improving technical and tactical training in boxing, such as the method of combining technical and tactical training with speed and strength training. The necessity of application of this method in training of girls of these age groups is revealed. The effectiveness of these trainings in combination with wave periodization in women and girls is proved. Data from studies on women, adolescent females, strength training of Western European and American specialists, as well as data from domestic scientists on strength training of gymnasts, wrestlers and other widows of sports have been observed. The author has identified the optimal loads for the simultaneous increase of technical - tactical and strength training. The advantage of such training in the wave-shaped speed - power load, which is adjusted from 30% - 85% of weight and different rest intervals of 1-8 minutes, depending on the training tasks, which can take place up to 5 times a week with daily change of muscle groups , with a progressive load of 5-10% for 8-24 weeks. Conclusions, such universal methods of combining technical and tactical training with speed and strength training in one training session, with which it is possible to simultaneously increase the level of TTP and speed - strength qualities depending on the stages of long - term training of girls boxers, will be relevant in this age group.

Background: Taping is an effective temporary therapy for improving hallux valgus (HV) in adults. Although HV has been demonstrated to impair postural balance, there is a lack of information about how corrective taping affects balance and gait patterns in adults with HV deformity. Methods: Eighteen middle-aged female patients (average age, 53.5 years) with HV were included. Corrective tape was applied to correct HV angulation. A series of balance and gait stability tests were performed before applying tape and 1 hour after the tape was applied with a Balance Master computerized posturography device. The study involved the following tests: modified clinical test of sensory interaction and balance (mCTSIB), unilateral stance (US), limit of stability (LoS), step up/over (SUO), and walk across (WA) tests. Results: No significant difference was found between the no-tape and taped condition in the static balance mCTSIB and US tests ( P > .05). The taping intervention resulted in significant improvement in the dynamic balance measures for the LoS test’s backward reaction time and left maximum excursion ( P < .05), a significantly higher impact index bilaterally in the SUO assessment ( P < .05), and an increase in step width mean and variability in the WA test ( P < .05). Conclusions: Taping for correcting HV angulation had negative acute effects on dynamic balance in the SUO and WA tests and positive effects in the LoS test. Clinical Relevance: Corrective taping, although a form of conservative treatment for hallux valgus, has been insufficiently studied in terms of effects on balance. Our results show that taping, as an acute effect, may impair balance in middle-aged adults when walking or ascending and descending stairs.
