Importance of Physical Fitness during Covid-19 Era

Contemplating healthy exercise and well-being are important for everyone. The point of the ebb and flow study was to examine the effect of thinking on living well in real life and in sound behaviour in humans. The benefits of exercise and exercise have been demonstrated throughout life. We are meant to walk and many of our body systems work better when we are physically active. By controlling depressive symptoms, some studies show that high levels of aerobic activity can be associated with a significant reduction in depressive symptoms. Consider engaging in one or two daily exercises that include short periods (30-90 seconds) of high intensity. For some, this can be achieved by exercising in their homes including jumping jugs, mountain climbers, and a series of strength exercises (i.e. standing squats, push-ups, sit-ups). For others, the use of home exercise equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines, and stationary bicycles may be helpful.It will help people to improve their physical fitness and fitness programs

With great power comes great ability: Extending research on fitness characteristics that influence work sample test battery performance in law enforcement recruits

BACKGROUND: Fitness could influence task performance in police officers. Limited research details relationships between different fitness characteristics and police-specific tasks. OBJECTIVE: Determine relationships between anaerobic and aerobic capacity with police-specific task performance. METHODS: Data for 308 recruits was analysed. Fitness tests included: push-ups, sit-ups, and mountain climbers (muscular endurance); pull-ups (strength); vertical jump (VJ) and 2 kg medicine ball throw (MBT; power); 75-yard pursuit run (75PR; change-of-direction speed); 201 m run (anaerobic capacity); 2.4 km run and multistage fitness test (aerobic capacity). Police tasks included: 99-yard obstacle course (99OC); 74.84 kg body drag (BD); chain link fence (CLF) and solid wall (SW) climbs; and 500-yard run (500R). Partial correlations controlling for sex and linear regression calculated relationships between fitness and job tasks. RESULTS: 99OC correlated with all assessments; BD only with 75PR. CLF related to the power and aerobic capacity tests, pull-ups, and 201 m run. SW related to VJ, 75PR, pull-ups, sit-ups, 201 m run, and aerobic capacity. 500R related to all except the MBT and 2.4 km run. 75PR and VJ predicted 4/5 tasks. CONCLUSIONS: Police research has shown the importance of muscular endurance and aerobic capacity. Specific to this studies’ correlations, the value of power and change-of-direction speed development for task performance was indicated.

Effect of remote exercise education on psychological status and body awareness

The curfew restrictions applied during the pandemic period have had negative physical and psychological effects on people all over the world. Therefore, the aim of the study is examining the effect of distance exercise education on psychological state and body awareness. Twenty-one sedentary women aged 20-30 years participated in the study. Exercises were carried out for 6 weeks, 3 days a week, 1 hour daily. The exercise program sent to the participants digitally consists of a total of 8 moves: plank, crunch, leg raise, flutter kicks, mountain climbers, arms-high partial sit up, heel touches, half push up. 10 minutes of warm-up at the beginning of each exercise and 5 minutes of active cooling with 5 minutes of stretching at the end. All participants had the Body Awareness Questionarre (BAQ) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) filled digitally 6 weeks before and 6 weeks later. SPSS 20.00 program was used to analyze the data. The shapiro wilk test was used to determine whether the data showed normal distribution. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used as the data did not show normal distribution in the analyzes. Significance level was accepted as p < 0.05. A statistically significant difference was found in all data as a result of the pre-test and post-test comparison of body weight, BDI and BAQ values (p < 0.05). As a result, it can be said that the exercise program applied to sedentary individuals has a positive effect on psychological state and body awareness.

The relationship between knowledge and hypothermia first aid attitudes in mountain climbers

Mountain climbing is an interesting and challenging activity, but it has high risks. There is a risk of harm that threat the body and safety during mountain climbing. One of the risks that can occur in mountain climbing is hypothermia which should be treated quickly and appropriately otherwise it can be life-threatening. From the results of preliminary studies that have been conducted by researchers at the Mount Prau Basecamp. According to the Gunung Prau Basecamp guard in 2017 there were 4 cases of hypothermia per week, even in 2014 there was 1 case of a climber who died due to hypothermia. This case occurred because of the climber's lack of knowledge of doing first aid to victims who had hypothermia. In this case, the climber's knowledge and attitude about prevention and first aid when experiencing hypothermia are the most important factors.The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between climber's knowledge and hypothermia first aid attitudes on the mountain.The type of this research was quantitative research with the correlation study method and a cross-section approach. The population in this study were all climbers of Mount Prau Wonosobo with a sample of 333 respondents. The sampling technique used in this study was consecutive sampling. The data in this study were analyzed using the chi square statistical test.The results of this study were obtained from 333 respondents, 301 respondents (90.4%) had good knowledge and 297 respondents (89.2%) had good attitudes. Statistical analysis showed significant results with a p-value (0.0001) less than 0.05, thus H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted, which indicated that there was a relationship between the climber's knowledge and hypothermia first aid attitudes on the mountain. In conclusion Knowledge affects a person's attitude towards handling hypothermia. On condition that the knowledge is good, ensuingly the attitude in handling hypothermia will be good.

Suspension Trauma

Fall harnesses have become much more prevalent for those that work at heights. Safety harnesses and fall arrest systems are commonly used by the construction industry, mountain climbers and other recreational activities where fall risks are a concern. Through the efforts of occupational health and safety legislation, job site safety programming and workplace harm reduction culture, there is a growing understanding of how and when to don these safety devices and the potential perils associated with their use. However, there is a paucity of information within the healthcare community in how to clinically manage a patient who has suffered a pattern of injury that can arise from these devices - known as suspension trauma. This condition may also be termed as harness-induced pathology, orthostatic shock while suspended and harness hang syndrome. This article helps to increase awareness and understanding of what suspension trauma is and how to pragmatically manage this condition from both a prehospital and emergency department perspective.

Ensemble matching of repeat satellite images applied to measure fast-changing ice flow, verified with mountain climber trajectories on Khumbu icefall, Mount Everest

Velocities within an icefall are typically the fastest within a glacier system and experience complex flow. The combination of convergent and fast flow, and steep slope generate a quickly changing and intensely fractured surface. This complicates velocity extraction from repeat satellite images, especially when common pattern matching procedures are used. In this study, we exploit the high temporal revisit of medium-resolution satellite images using a novel image matching technique, ensemble matching, making it possible to generate a high-resolution (30 m) velocity field from high-repeat image sequences despite challenging image conditions. We demonstrate this technique for the first time in the glaciology domain using repeat Sentinel-2 optical data over the famous Khumbu icefall, situated on the southern slopes of Mount Everest. Estimates of velocity go just over 1 m d−1, which is slower than summer velocities from noisy single pair image matching. This icefall is frequently crossed by high-altitude mountaineers who use a route confined by fixed ropes and ladders set out every season. The mountain climbers typically record their trajectory on their personal satellite navigation device. We use such volunteered geographic information to verify our velocity estimates, confirming our underestimation with ensemble matching. Besides unprecedented remotely sensed surface velocities over the icefall, we also note that the generated velocity field can aid with the planning of a safe passage through this icefall.
