Basketball is one of the popular sports in the world, and physical performance is becoming increasingly important in basketball as the game evolves. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of a 3-week modified complex training on athletic performance of women's national basketball players. An experimental study involved the participation of 12 highly trained female basketball players (national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina). Observed variables before and after 3-weeks of modified complex training were 300 yards test, 20-yards test, lane agility and beep test. Means and standard deviations for each of the variables were calculated, and differences pre-to-post performance changes were examined using a paired sample t-test. Three weeks of specific complex training sessions show a statistically significant increase in all tested variables, 300 yards (p≤.001); 20 yards (p≤.001); Lane agility (p≤.001) and beep test (p=.028). It can be concluded that applied complex training program has significantly improved studied parameters of condition preparation of elite female basketball players.
Učenje plivanja je specifičn modela rada u nastavi tjelesnog odgoja što se posebno odnosi na djecu koja imaju određenih teškoća u psihomotornom razvoju. Iskustva su pokazala da se djeca sa Down Syndromom mogu uključiti u ovaj vid kretne edukacije, naravno uz prilagođenu dinamiku i metodiku učenja osnovnih kretnih aktivnosti u vodi. Jedna od metoda je i Halliwick koncept učenja osnovnih elemenata kretanja u vodi za osobe sa teškočama (McMillan, 1997 – revised 2010). Ova metoda podrazumjeva psihičku i fizičku adaptaciju na boravak u vodi, relaksaciju, kontrolu disanja, ravnoteže i u konačnici samostalno kretanja u vodi. Cilj ovog rada bio je analiza efikasnosti Halliwick koncepta obuke plivanja na kretnu motoriku u vodi za djecu sa Down Syndromom. Ispitivanje je provedeno na uzorku od 10 ispitanika (5 djevojčice i 5 dječaka), dobi 9±0,5 godina (djeca sa Down Syndrom). Program plivanja (Halliwick) trajao je 12 sedmica (60 minuta sedmicno). U ispitivanju je korištena baterija od 8 testova za procjenu nivoa kretnih sposobnosti u vodi. Za analizu rezultata inicijalnog i finalnog testiranja korišten je t-test za zavisne uzorke. Rezultati t-testa ukazuju da je nakon realizacije programa došlo do statistički značajnih promjena kod svih primjenjenih varijabli: SUV - samostalan ulazak u vodu (p< .001); GRO- gnjuranje pod vodu (p< .002); TRO – transverzalna rotacija (p< .001); LRO – longitudinalna rotacija (p< .002); SLO – sagitalna rotacija (p< .001); PNS - plutanje na stomaku (p< .002); SNG – skok u vodu na noge (p< .001) ; SKKV – samostalno kretanje po površini vode (p< .003). Na osnovu komparacije rezultata inicijalnog i finalnog testiranja ispitanika, evidentno je da se primjenjeni model plivanja pokazao efikasnim za sve učesnike u programu. Ovim se potvrđuju navodi sličnih istraživanja te se konstatuje da je osnovna orijentacija odgojno-obrazovnih postupaka ovog područja promjena različitih karakteristika psihosomatskog statusa, a posebno morfoloških, funkcionalnih i motoričkih sposobnosti i osobina te kognitivnih i konativnih funkcija koje učestvuju u motoričkim izražavanju (Selimović i sar. 2013). Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata istraživanja može se zaključiti da je Halliwick model učenja plivanja za djecu sa Down Syndromom vrlo efikasan. Shodno tome ukazuje se potreba za dodatnom edukacijom trenera plivanja i nastavnika tjelesnog odgoja za ovakve i slične programe koji su prilagođeni upravo za rad sa djecom koja imaju određenih teškoća u psihomotornom razvoju.
Background and Study Aim. Tabata training is getting more and more popular these days. Based on interval training offers metabolic booster that causes major benefits for reducing body fat storage. It is an interval training protocol which is a cardio workout for fat loss. The aim: this study was to examine the effects of a specific 16-week Tabata intervention program on body fat reduction in inactive healthy women. Material and Methods. A non-randomized controlled trial with 2x2 statistical design was provide in this study. The research was conducted on a sample of 49 women (aged 30 to 45) employed in the administrative sector, with more than 6h of sedentary tasks in their habitual working day. It included one experimental group–EG (Tabata program, n=24) and one control group–CG (without physical activities, n=25) and two moments of evaluation: (Initial) at baseline and (Final) after 16 weeks of post intervention period. The body composition parameters and body circumference in each group was recorded. All body composition parameters were measured using a Body composition analyser (Tanita BC-418MA III). Results. The results revealed that there was statistical significance difference after Tabata training program (TTP) in EG for body composition parameters (Mean±SD) for Body mass index (kg/m²) = 22.11±2.59kg/m²; p=0.04, ES=0.07); Fat tissue (%) =25.97±4.72; p=0.03, ES=0.08) and Fat tissue (kg) =17.52±5.11; p=0.02, ES=0.10). Furthermore, there were statistical significance difference in upper-arm circumference (24.95±2.31, p=0.00, ES=0.16) and waist circumference (75.93±7.18, p=0.02, ES=0.10). The control group did not achieve significant differences in the final measurement. Conclusions. Tabata training exercise program (4 months) has been shown to be beneficial for reducing body fat in healthy inactive women
The aim of this paper is to point out the many advantages of using the Pilates method of exercise in comprehensive preparations of dancers. Using Pilates as a training model in sport dance, largely ensures easier movement performance technique, more effective dance couple movement, provides better dance expression, prevents injuries and ensures the longevity of a dancer’s career. Introducing dancers to intellectual and kinesthetic relations between dance and Pilates also promotes the achievement of goals such as the increased body awareness, improved musculoskeletal integration, and in general, provide better health for dancers. Diversity of various Pilates instruments does not make exercise monotonous and allows for a progressive effect on mobility and stability of all dance performances.
