The Effect of Special Exercises for Developing Continuous Attention and Accuracy in Blocking for volleyball Players Aged 14 – 15 years Old

The research aimed at identifying the effects of special exercises on continuous attention development and accuracy of some artistic skills in the subjects of the study. The researchers used the experimental method on (12) volleyball players from the national center for gifted in volleyball ages (14 – 15) years old. The pilot study was applied on (4) players and the training program was applied for (8 weeks) with 3 training sessions per week. The data was collected and treated using proper statistical operations to conclude the positive effect of these special exercises using training aids to develop continuous attention and accuracy of blocking. Finally, the researchers recommended using these exercises due to their positive effect in developing attention in blocking for volleyball players ages (14 – 15) years old.

Take-Home Naloxone and the Prevention of Deaths from Heroin Overdose: Pursuing Strong Science, Fuller Understanding, Greater Impact

<b><i>Background and Context:</i></b> Realization of the life-saving potential of “take-home naloxone” has been a personal journey, but it has also been a collective journey. It has been a story of individual exploration and growth, and also a story of changes at a societal level. “Take-home naloxone” has matured since its first conceptualization a quarter of a century ago. It required recognition of the enormous burden of deaths from drug overdose (particularly heroin and other opioids), and also realization of critical clusterings (such as post-release from prison). It also required realization that, since many overdose deaths are witnessed, we can potentially prevent many deaths by mobilizing drug users themselves, their families, and the wider caring community to act as intervention workforce to give life-saving interim emergency care. <b><i>Summary of Scope:</i></b> This article explores 5 areas (many illustrations UK-based where the author works): firstly, the need for strong science; secondly, our improved understanding of opioid overdose and deaths; thirdly, the search for greater impact from our policies and interventions; fourthly, developing better forms of naloxone; and fifthly, examining the challenges still to be addressed. <b><i>Key Messages:</i></b> “Take-home naloxone” is an exemplar of harm reduction with potential global impact – drug policy and practice for the public good. However, “having the potential” is not good enough – there needs to be actual implementation. This will be easier once the component parts of “take-home naloxone” are improved (better naloxone products, better training aids, revised legislation, and explicit funding support). Many improvements are already possible, but we hesitate about implementation. It is our responsibility to drive progress faster. With “take-home naloxone,” we can be proud of what we have achieved, but we must also be humble about how much more we still need to do.

The game of tennis court is played by one or a pair of players facing across the net. This research is aimed at developing forehand drive training aids in tennis athletes. Forehand drive training aids in tennis court are first validated by 6 experts, 2 material expert in sports, 2 expert in the field of equipment / media, 2 expert field coach. The results of the small group trial involved 3 experts, 1 material expert with an assessment result of 85%, 1 trainer expert 84% and 1 media expert 85% it can be concluded that they meet the criteria to be continued in large group trials. It can be concluded that the results of large group trials meet the criteria to be used in assisting forehand drive exercises in tennis court

DEVELOPMENT OF CONE TOOLS USING SENSORS AND ANDROID BASED TIMER FOR TRAINING 2020 FUTSAL ATTACKS

Development of Cone Devices Using Android-Based Sensors and Timers for Agility Training Futsal Athletes is a training aid in carrying out agility training programs for athletes in the futsal sport. This tool helps coaches in presenting agility training programs to athletes, so that athletes can carry out their training better and optimally. This tool was made with the aim to help athletes train agility movements to be more proficient because agility in the futsal game is needed. The research method used in this research is research and development methods. The sample population in this study were 6 experts, namely 2 sports experts, 2 trainers and 2 electronics experts. The form of the predetermined tool was validated by 3 experts, namely 1 futsal coach, 1 sports coach from the university who has a sports education background, and by 1 electronics expert for examination. In a small group trial, it involved 3 experts and the results were validated with an average value of the third validity of 74%. The results of the large group test of the 6 experts and the results have been validated with an average validity value of the sixth is 87%. From the results of the design validation production, product trials and trials above, it can be ignored that the agility training aids are valid and can be used in the training process to improve agility in futsal athletes.

The Effect of using Incline Mat on the speed of Learning Forward Straddle Roll on Floor Exercises

On the basis of the data obtained, the development of the Smash assistive media product was declared feasible to be developed as one of the learning media in game material volleyball.

Egg masses as training aids for spotted lanternfly Lycorma delicatula detection dogs

The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive species first detected in 2014. The insect feeds on plants causing severe damage in vineyards such as the occurrence of sooty mold fungus that impairs leaf photosynthesis. Currently, there is extensive research on how to track and ultimately prevent the spread of this species. It lays eggs that persist through the winter, while the adults die out, which presents a unique opportunity to enter infested or suspected infested areas to begin quarantine and management of the spread while the species is dormant. Detection dogs may be a tool that can be used to search out the spotted lanternfly egg masses during this overwintering period, however it is not known whether dogs can detect any specific odor from the spotted lanternfly eggs. Moreover, as the eggs are only available during certain times of the year, and hatch based on temperature, finding training aids for the dogs could prove difficult. In this study, we investigated whether three detection dogs could learn the odor from dead spotted lanternfly egg masses and if so, whether that would allow them to recognize live spotted lanternfly egg masses. We found that dogs could be trained to find dead spotted lanternfly egg masses, and could learn to ignore relevant controls, with high levels of sensitivity and specificity (up to 94.6% and 92.8%, respectively). Further, we found that after the training, dogs could find live spotted lanternfly egg masses without additional training and returned to previous levels of sensitivity and specificity within a few sessions. Coded videos of training and testing sessions showed that dogs spent more time at the egg masses than at controls, as expected from training. These results suggest that dead spotted lanternfly egg masses could be a useful training aid for spotted lanternfly detection dogs.

Wearables

Health wearables are one of the more established elements of the digital health revolution. GPS-enabled watches have been successful training aids for amateur and professional athletes for well over a decade. The ability to miniaturize complex biosensors to enable remote vital signs monitoring, disease progression and treatment effect measurement are all very real opportunities worthy of the hype. Early versions of these tools, however, were not Internet-connected and were not capable of being tethered to a cellular and or Internet-enabled mobile phone. In order for these devices to reach their potential for patients, understanding their risks within the context of the entire connected ecosystem must occur.
