Soccer game or a soccer match includes functional movements that require complex muscular balance including stopping, walking, jogging, sprint with dribbling, shooting and passing (Eniseler, 1994; Boyle, 2004). Functional training contribute to the different systems of the body through functional exercises performed in different parts of the body (covering the whole body, improving universal motor skills, applied in multiple motion planes) through intensive, short and constantly changing sessions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of functional training on some physiological and Biomotor Abilities in elite soccer players. Athletes were randomly divided into two groups as Traditional Training Group (TTG) and Functional Training Group (FTG). For eight weeks, TTG athletes were trained five days per week for classical soccer training while FTG athletes were trained with functional training two days a week in addition to this training. Table 4 shows that the effect of pre-test from post-test and present an adjusted post-test mean and determine the difference of the adjusted post-test mean of two groups. According to the ANCOVA results, differences were not found statistically significant (p>0.05). As a result, in this study, which aimed to investigate the effects of functional training on some physiological and bio-motor properties in elite soccer players, it was determined that functional training method had a positive effect on some physiological and bio-motor properties of pre- and post-test values in soccer players, however to determine the difference of the adjusted post-test mean of two groups, ANCOVA results show that differences were not found statistically significant.

Abstract Soccer kicking kinematics has received wide interest in literature. However, while the instep-kick has been broadly studied, only few researchers investigated the inside-of-the-foot kick, which is one of the most frequently performed techniques during games. In particular, little knowledge is available about differences in kinematics when kicking with the preferred and non-preferred leg. A motion analysis system recorded the three-dimensional coordinates of reflective markers placed upon the body of nine amateur soccer players (23.0 ± 2.1 years, BMI 22.2 ± 2.6 kg/m2), who performed 30 pass-kicks each, 15 with the preferred and 15 with the non-preferred leg. We investigated skill kinematics while maintaining a perspective on the complete picture of movement, looking for laterality related differences. The main focus was laid on: anatomical angles, contribution of upper limbs in kick biomechanics, kinematics of the body Center of Mass (CoM), which describes the whole body movement and is related to balance and stability. When kicking with the preferred leg, CoM displacement during the ground-support phase was 13% higher (p<0.001), normalized CoM height was 1.3% lower (p<0.001) and CoM velocity 10% higher (p<0.01); foot and shank velocities were about 5% higher (p<0.01); arms were more abducted (p<0.01); shoulders were rotated more towards the target (p<0.01, 6° mean orientation difference). We concluded that differences in motor control between preferred and non-preferred leg kicks exist, particularly in the movement velocity and upper body kinematics. Coaches can use these results to provide effective instructions to players in the learning process, moving their focus on kicking speed and upper body behavior

Surgery or surgery is a stressor for patients because it can bring potential and actual threats to the body, integrity, and soul of a person, causing emotional reactions such as fear, anger, anxiety, and anxiety with symptoms such as frequent asking questions, anxiety, rapid pulse, increased tension 20 % to 30%. The cause of anxiety in patients with preoperative section Caesarea is more specific, namely the concern for self and the baby to be born. Preoperative patient anxiety is very important, one of the nursing actions to overcome anxiety problems in patients can be independent actions by nurses such as relaxation and distraction techniques. This study aims to determine the difference between giving deep breathing relaxation techniques and music therapy to the anxiety of patients with cesarean section surgery with spinal anesthesia. This research method is quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design. Sampling by purposive sampling with the treatment of deep breathing relaxation techniques as many as 37 respondents and 37 respondents with music therapy controls, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Breath relaxation in effectively reducing the anxiety of patients with section cesarean surgery with significance (p = 0,000). Music therapy is also effective in reducing the anxiety of patients with section cesarean surgery with significance (p = 0,000). But there was no difference in the decrease in anxiety after administration of deep breathing relaxation techniques and music therapy with significance (p) 0.317. Conclusion Deep breathing and music therapy together can reduce the anxiety of patients undergoing section cesarean surgery. Both actions can be used to complement nursing interventions that are already in the hospital.

Both functional and traditional resistance training increase muscular fitness. This study aims at highlighting the benefits of functional training compared to traditional training. Thus, we analyze the effects of functional training on muscular fitness in terms of endurance, agility, strength, flexibility and balance. A group of 40 martial arts practitioners, aged 18-30 years, was divided in a functional training experimental group (n = 20) and a traditional resistance control group (n = 20). Anthropometric measures were done to the test group of martial arts practitioners which were tested before and after the training study period of 7 weeks. The results showed an important improvement (p < 0.05) in endurance, push-ups, 1-RM bench press and squat, one-leg balance and back extension. Functional training group had a significant increase in flexibility and shoulder girth (p < 0.05). The main difference comparing the two test groups was in flexion time and forearm girth. In conclusion, functional training increases endurance, shoulder girth and flexibility

AbstractThe present study aimed to elucidate the effect of core training on trunk flexor musculature in athletes. Twenty-eight collegiate male soccer players were randomly assigned to three groups: a training group that performed core exercises with wheeled platforms (WP), a training group that performed body mass-based core exercise (BME), and a control group that did not perform core exercise training (CON). WP and BME trained twice a week for 10 weeks. The WP performed 8–14 exercises with wheeled platforms. BME conducted four core exercises to failure. Before and after the intervention, trunk segment lean body mass (LBM) was measured using a whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanner. Muscle thicknesses (MTs) of the rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique, internal oblique (IO), and transverse abdominis were determined with an ultrasound apparatus. No significant changes for any measured variables were found in CON. In both training groups, the trunk segment LBM was significantly increased through the intervention. While MT for IO significantly increased in the two training groups, significant increases in MT for RA were found in only WP. For collegiate soccer players, the core training programs adopted here can be effective in increasing trunk segment LBM, but the effectiveness on the trunk flexor muscularity differs between the two training modalities.

Recently, the Whole Body Vibration (WBV) training has been introduced as an alternative method of exercise or as a type of physical exercise in health and fitness centers. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) training applied for 12 weeks on depression level. A total of 53 healthy young male individuals participated in this study. Volunteers were randomly divided into two groups as the Whole Body Vibration Training Group (n=27) and the Control Group (n=26). WBV group did training 3 times a week for 12 weeks. The Control Group did not do any trainings. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was applied to both groups before and after the 12-week WBV training. When the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores of the WBV training group and Control groups were compared, it was determined that there were no significant differences in the pre-test Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores of the WBVT and Control Group according to the Mann-Whitney U-Test.However, the post-test scores of the WBV training and Control groups was significant at a statistical level (p=.013). According to the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, the difference between the pre- and post-test scores of the WBV training group was significant at a statistical level (p=.014); and the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the Control Group was not statistically significant (p=.596). The effect of the Whole Body Vibration training on depression is positive and decreases the depression level.

There is no doubt of the benefits brought by the practice of physical exercises in the promotion of health, but the use of combined capacities in a same session is still contradictory. The aim of the present study was to verify the influence of a 10- week program of concurrent training on body composition and strength in adult women comparing it to programs of strength and aerobic activities.  Thirty women were selected with minimum age of 55 years, randomized in four groups: group A1 (aerobic activity following by strength training), group F1 (strength training followed by aerobic activity), group A (aerobic training), group F (strength training). The body fat showed differences among the groups, the group F was significantly lower than A and A1; when strength was analyzed the results demonstrated differences in the lumbar area in the group A1 and in the strength of inferior members in A, A1 and F from pre- to post-test. Based on the data, we conclude that excepting of body composition, there is no variance in the analyzed variables in this group of women according to the type of training performed.

Abstract Background and Aims Fluid management remains a major problem in hemodialysis (HD) patients, partly because of the lack of objective assessment methods. Many methods have been proposed to estimate the fluid status in HD patients and bioimpedance has established as one of the most popular clinical tools. Resistance to alternate current was found to be lower in the arteriovenous (AV) access-bearing side compared with the non-access side in post-HD bioimpedance measurements. We hypothesized this difference between access and non-access sides can be seen in both pre- and post-HD measurements of arms and whole body. The aim of the study was to investigate whether this variation between access and non-access sides could affect single-side whole body measurements. Method Pre- and post-HD bioimpedance measurements with two 8-point devices (InBody 770 and Seca mBCA 514) were performed in 11 HD patients with functioning AV access in the arm (8 male, pre-HD 75.4 ± 13.6 kg, post-HD 72.8 ± 13.5 kg). Values of resistance at 5 kHz (R5) in the arm and whole body (R5 of arm + trunk + leg on the same side) were extracted. Whole-body extracellular water (ECW) was calculated using whole-body R5 by the Xitron equation* to evaluate how measuring only one side of the body can affect the fluid volume calculation. Results The R5 of the arm on the access side was lower compared with the non-access side both pre- and post-HD (P &lt; 0.01), measured by InBody. The same was seen with the Seca but did not reach statistical significance (Table 1). The estimated whole-body ECW was higher on the access side for InBody (P &lt; 0.01). With Seca, the same trend was seen but remained non-significant. While the difference in ECW between both arms reported by InBody was small, the impact on calculated whole-body ECW was much larger with a difference between sides of 0.50 ± 0.82 L pre HD and 0.55 ± 0.81 L post HD. Conclusion InBody appears to pick up the difference in fluid status between the access and non-access side with greater precision than Seca. The large contribution of the arm to whole-body resistance amplifies the impact of the presence of an AV access on whole-body ECW estimations based on single-side wrist-to-ankle bioimpedance measurements. Eight-point bioimpedance devices (like the tested InBody and Seca) measure both sides of the body, so, choice of measurement side does not enter the picture.
