Reaction forces and bone maturation in taekwondo: comparison with and without tatami

✒️ Written by: Fernando Rocha, Ana Conceição, Carlos Mata, Janine Narciso, Aldo M. Costa, Marco Branco, Hugo Louro

📜 Purpose: Exercise performed improperly, in disagreement with age and development, may trigger negative bioactive effects. Adolescent taekwondo athletes, being able to practise on tatami or without tatami and barefoot, may be submitted to musculoskeletal structure disorders. The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency and amplitude of the reactive forces during taekwondo practice with and without tatami.

🔎 Methods: Overall, 27 adolescent taekwondo athletes aged 10–15 years were submitted to a standard 90-minute training session with and without tatami. During each session, the frequency of ground contacts and the vertical ground reaction forces were measured. Femur and wrist bone age and the respective stages of the epiphyseal plate were computed from radiograph images. A total of 6346.6 ± 425.5 ground contacts (an average of 106 contacts per minute) were registered during the training session. The Wilcoxon test was applied to analyse the relationship between taekwondo and epiphyseal plate stage (p ≤ 0.005).

✅ Results: Student’s t-test revealed a significant difference between ground reaction forces with and without tatami; tasks performed without tatami featured smaller magnitudes for comparisons of absolute and normalized values (t = –3.359; p < 0.002 and t = –3.652; p < 0.001, respectively). The time of practice showed no early closure of the femur epiphyseal plates caused by the practice of taekwondo.

🏆 Conclusions: Practicing taekwondo seems to have a bio-positive effect on the maturation of adolescent athletes, regardless of the use of tatami.

📚 Locomotor demands of 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test, and VAMEVAL test and comparisons with regular locomotor demands in training sessions and matches: a study conducted in youth male soccer players

✍️ Written by: Filipe Manuel Clemente, Rafael Oliveira, Zeki Akyildiz, Mehmet Yildiz, İsa Sagiroglu, Ana Filipa Silva

📜 Purpose:
The study aim was 2-fold: (i) characterize and compare the locomotor demands of 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test (30-15IFT), Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test level 1 (YYIRT), and VAMEVAL test; (ii) compare the locomotor demands of these progressive multistage tests with those of training sessions and matches in youth soccer players.

🔎 Methods:
A descriptive case study lasting 3 weeks was performed to implement the tests once and to monitor the locomotor demands in training sessions and matches. Overall, 12 soccer players (age: 18.21 ± 0.34 years) from the same team participated after consideration of inclusion criteria. A Global Positioning System unit was used for each player over the training sessions, matches, and multistage tests to monitor locomotor demands. The following outcomes were extracted: total distance; peak speed; distances covered at 3.00–6.99 km/h (Z1), 7.00–10.99 km/h (Z2), 11.00–14.99 km/h (Z3), 15.00–18.99 km/h (Z4), and 19.00 km/h (Z5); accelerations at 0.50 to 0.99 m/s2 and 1.00 to 1.99 m/s2; and decelerations at –0.99 to –0.50 m/s2 and –1.99 to –1.00 m/s2.

🏆 Conclusions:
The results suggests that 30-15IFT is more demanding considering high-intensity locomotor activities, while YYIRT and VAMEVAL are more demanding considering moderate locomotor demands. Moreover, specific adjustments in training sessions must be conducted, especially when introducing 30-15IFT and YYIRT since they may exceed the typical doses of distances covered at 11.00–14.99 km/h and 15.00–18.99 km/h.

📚 Scoping review: How do the properties of heated water influence the prescription of aquatic physical exercises to develop motor skills in people with Parkinson’s disease?

✍️ Written by: Juliana Siega, Luis Henrique Paladini, Barbara Camila Flissak Graefling, Vera Lúcia Israel

🏆 Purpose: Aquatic intervention seems to influence the motor skills of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, little is known about the transference of these motor skills to the land environment, as well as the use of the therapeutic properties of water. the study aim was to identify the aquatic intervention strategies considering the properties of water for the development of motor skills in PD.

🔎 Methods: With the Prisma and Cochrane checklist, a systematic review was conducted involving 7 databases with randomized and nonrandomized studies from 2010 to July 2020. The prescription and description of aquatic physical exercise data were extracted and summarized, and the use of physical and thermal properties of heated water was analysed.

✅ Results: Overall, 13 studies involving 307 participants (Hoehn and Yahr scale 1–4) met the inclusion criteria. In accordance with the Jadad scale, 7 studies were classified as low-quality (score 0–2), whereas 6 were categorized as high-quality (score 3). All the selected studies concentrated on aquatic physical exercise programs developed by the researchers who focused on transferring motor skills – such as mobility and functional reach, balance, motor aspects, activities of daily living, quality of life, and gait – to the land environment.

📜 Conclusions: Aquatic intervention strategies can be adequately prescribed as beneficial to motor skill training in PD. the analysis of the physical and thermal properties of heated water is useful to systematize prescription parameters depending on the characteristics of the PD patient and the heated aquatic environment.

Validity of the Borg 6–20 categories obtegories obtained in incremental testing for prescribing aerobic exercise intensity: a systematic review

✒️ Written by: Danilo Edson De Souza, Eduardo Zapaterra Campos, Reginaldo Gonçalves, Jeferson Marcedo Viana, Jorge Roberto Perrout De Lima, Tony Meireles Santos, Vinicius Oliveira Damasceno

🏆 Purpose: Self-regulation of exercise intensity with the Borg 6–20 scale seems a promising alternative, since the magnitude of effort is regulated by internal factors inherent to the individual and their perception of effort during the activity. In order to verify this hypothesis, some studies have tested the validity of the Borg 6–20 scale for prescribing exercise intensity. The study aim was to review the literature and verify the validity of the Borg 6–20 scale in aerobic exercise prescription.

🔎Methods: The PICOS strategy was used to conduct the search for evidence concerning the objectives of the review as recommended by PRISMA-P. The level and quality of evidence were analysed by using the Cochrane Collaboration’s recommendation for systematic reviews.

✅ Results: A total of 1434 references were found. After applying the criteria of inclusion, 15 studies were considered eligible for review. These studies generally tested the validity of intensity-regulated prescriptions with rating of perceived exertion (RPE) by comparing physiological and performance measures obtained in incremental tests or conventional prescriptions with the measures generated by prescriptions regulated with the Borg 6–20 scale. In addition, some studies evaluated the reliability and reproducibility of RPE-regulated prescriptions by comparing physiological and performance measures obtained from different intensity-regulated exercise sessions with the Borg 6–20 scale.

📜 Conclusions: According to the studies investigated in this systematic review, the recommendation of the Borg 6–20 scale in exercise prescription is not yet a valid alternative to describe similar intensity magnitudes to physiological and performance variables.

🌟 Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease with an increasing prevalence all over the world. The treatment includes an integral intervention with medical treatment, healthy diet, and regular exercise. High Intensity Interval Training has been recently proposed as part of this treatment to improve glycaemic control. The aim of this meta-analysis is to determine the effect of High Intensity Interval Training on glycosylated haemoglobin in people with type 2 diabetes during at least 12 weeks of intervention. The search was performed in EBSCOHost, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and EMBASE. A total of 250 records were obtained and 22 studies met the inclusion criteria to be meta-analysed.

🏆 The results showed that High Intensity Interval Training could significantly lower glycosylated haemoglobin; in the sedentary control group, glycosylated haemoglobin significantly increased, making glycaemic control worse. The improvement of glycosylated haemoglobin with High Intensity Interval Training can be influenced by diet, intensity of the intervals, and age. There were some limitations because of lack of control group and appropriate information in some studies. An adequate prescription program should be developed by a qualified professional to ensure best results.
