“…In previous study Cem et al and Fırtın et al conducted research comparing the acute effects of static and dynamic stretching exercises on flexibility, agility, and anaerobic performance in professional football players, which showed that aerobic running combined with static or dynamic stretching increased the flexibility more effectively than aerobic running alone. 15,16 The result from the statistical analysis of this study supported the alternative hypothesis which stated that there is a beneficial effect to the subjects treated with PNF stretching and dynamic stretching on flexibility, balance, and agility. Hence, above results showed that subjects treated with PNF and Dynamic Stretching exercises showed significant improvement in flexibility, balance, and agility in collegiate level badminton players having hamstring tightness.…”

Background: The development of muscular damage is typically attributed to intrinsic factors, such as muscle tension. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that muscular stiffness is the primary cause of the risk of pathological disorders of the knee and spine. Hamstring tightness leads to high risk of recurrent injury, decreases the performance in athletes, lead to post-exercise soreness and decreases coordination among athletes. Objectives of current study were to find out the effects of PNF and dynamic stretching on flexibility, balance, and agility among collegiate level badminton players having hamstring tightness. Methods: 110 participants were screened and 68 participants were recruited according to the selection criteria and were randomly allocated to Group A (PNF stretching) (N=34) and Group B (Dynamic Stretching) (N=34). The exercise program underwent training for 30 min, 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Results: Group A and Group B demonstrated significant improvement in Flexibility, Balance, and Agility (p<0.0001). Whereas, no significant difference was seen when intergroup comparison was done (p>0.005). Conclusions: The study concludes that there is significant improvement in the Flexibility, Balance, and Agility after implication of 4 weeks of PNF and Dynamic Stretching in Collegiate Level Badminton players having Hamstring tightness. This evidence substantiates that these exercises do recruit the Hamstring muscles and provides further insight into the role of the Hamstring muscles to keep the body flexible.

“…Ideally, model training would be done simultaneously with another preparatory stage of therapy. Prior to active therapy treatment, clinicians often have patients do a warm-up exercise of a duration highly dependent on the patient, but 10 min is common (Coons et al, 2017 ). Thus, the model training sequence presented herein can be completed during this “warm up” time, and would not disrupt therapy time that would otherwise be used for active treatment.…”

The ability to accurately identify human gait intent is a challenge relevant to the success of many applications in robotics, including, but not limited to, assistive devices. Most existing intent identification approaches, however, are either sensor-specific or use a pattern-recognition approach that requires large amounts of training data. This paper introduces a real-time walking speed intent identification algorithm based on the Mahalanobis distance that requires minimal training data. This data efficiency is enabled by making the simplifying assumption that each time step of walking data is independent of all other time steps. The accuracy of the algorithm was analyzed through human-subject experiments that were conducted using controlled walking speed changes on a treadmill. Experimental results confirm that the model used for intent identification converges quickly (within 5 min of training data). On average, the algorithm successfully detected the change in desired walking speed within one gait cycle and had a maximum of 87% accuracy at responding with the correct intent category of speed up, slow down, or no change. The findings also show that the accuracy of the algorithm improves with the magnitude of the speed change, while speed increases were more easily detected than speed decreases.

“…After that the total score is calculated, according to which the level of somatic health of pupils is determined. The total quantitative assessment in scores allows attributing pupil to a particular functional level: low (0-3 points); below average (4-6); average (7)(8)(9)(10)(11); above average (12)(13)(14)(15); and high (16)(17)(18). Measurement in control tests at the beginning and at the end of the pedagogical experiment was conducted under the same pedagogical conditions.…”

The article deals with the results of study of the formation of complex system of educational and training tasks in physical education of 13-14 years old schoolchildren. The scheme of analysis of physical qualities due to the types of their manifestation, which gave the opportunity to distinguish 16 relatively independent components, has been developed. This contributes to the concretization of training focus of physical qualities comprehensive development. The program of detailed development of physical qualities, which provides purposeful continuous influence on all types of manifestation of physical qualities by combining separate training tasks in such a way that their minimal number could provide improvement of all factors that determine the manifestation of general motor activity of schoolchildren, has been substantiated. It has been formed the methods of complex solution of educational and training tasks that provide a comprehensive development of physical qualities, is consistent with the training essence of studying exercises and finding of adequate means for the complex solution of educational and training tasks. The results of the experimental verification of effectiveness of the developed educational-training program, which showed reliably significant changes in the level of physical preparedness, somatic health and technical preparedness of teenagers, have been presented.
