AB  - Taekwondo's cultural identity is considered in the light of the controversy over its historical origins. After reviewing several existing theories, the meaning and development of taekwondo as a Korean martial art is explored. There are two conclusions: first, taekwondo is a fusion of several different sources; second, taekwondo is essentially a martial art that focuses on foot skills, and this distinguishes it from Japan's karate and China's wushu, which are primarily based on hand skills. The fact that all terms are rendered into pure Korean words shows the essence of Korean localization. Thus taekwondo incorporates a distinct identity as a Korean martial art.

AB  - The aim of this paper is to document the injury rate in high-level modern competitive karate after a change of competition rules was implemented in the year 2000, and to compare it with the injury rate found before the rules were changed. A prospective recording of the injuries resulting from 2,762 matches in three consecutive World Karate Championships (representing 7,425 min of active fighting) was performed, and compared with the results from 2,837 matches from the three last World Karate Championships (representing 7,631 min of active fighting) held before the change of competition rules. In total, 497 injuries were recorded, with an incidence of 0.180 injuries per match or 6.7 per 100 min of active fighting. There were 1,901 male category fights (in which 383 injuries were recorded), and 861 female category fights (in which 114 injuries were recorded). The global injury incidence was almost double with the old rules compared to the one with the new rules [OR 1.99, 95% CI (1.76-2.26); p < 0.00001]. In male category, the risk of injury was higher before the rules were changed [OR 1.81, 95% CI (1.56-2.09); p < 0.00001], and also in female category [OR 2.71; 95% CI (2.64-2.80); p < 0.00001]. The rate of severe injuries was not different before and after the change of rules. The implementation of the new competition rules in competitive karate has been associated with a significant reduction in injury rate, making competition safer for athletes.

AB  - Artioli, GG, Gualano, B, Franchini, E, Batista, RN, Polacow, VO, and Lancha, AH Jr. Physiological, performance, and nutritional profile of the Brazilian Olympic Wushu (kung-fu) team. J Strength Cond Res 23(1): 20-25, 2009-The purpose of the present study was to determine physiological, nutritional, and performance profiles of elite Olympic Wushu (kung-fu) athletes. Ten men and four women elite athletes took part in the study. They completed the following tests: body composition, nutritional assessment, upper-body Wingate Test, vertical jump, lumbar isometric strength, and flexibility. Blood lactate was determined at rest and after the Wingate Test. Blood lactate was also determined during a training session (combat and Taolu training). We found low body fat (men: 9.5 +/- 6.3%; women: 18.0 +/- 4.8%), high flexibility (sit-and-reach-men: 45.5 +/- 6.1 cm; women: 44.0 +/- 6.3 cm), high leg power (vertical jump-men: 37.7 +/- 8.4 cm; women: 32.3 +/- 1.1 cm), high lumbar isometric strength (men: 159 6 13 cm; women: 94 6 6 cm), moderate arm mean and peak power (Wingate Test-men: 4.1 +/- 0.4 and 5.8 +/- 0.5 W.kg(-1), respectively; women: 2.5 +/- 0.3 and 3.4 +/- 0.3 W.kg(-1), respectively), and elevated blood lactate after the Wingate Test (men: 10.8 +/- 2.0 mmol.L(-1); women: 10.2 +/- 2.0 mmol.L(-1)) and during training (combat: 12.0 +/- 1.8 mmol.L(-1); Taolu: 7.7 +/- 3.3 mmol.L(-1)). Men athletes consume a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, whereas women consume a moderate, high-carbohydrate diet. Energy consumption was markedly variable. In conclusion, Olympic Wushu seems to be a highly anaerobic-dependent combat sport. Low body fat, high flexibility, leg anaerobic power, isometric strength, and moderately high arm anaerobic power seem to be important for successful competitive performance.

AB  - Ten adolescent judokas performed circuit training consisting of six 40-s periods of judo exercises separated by 40 x (CT1:1) 120 s (CT1:3), or 200 s (CT1:5) of rest. Heart rate, blood lactate concentration, and the number of repetitions were recorded. Heart rate reached similar to 180 beats.min(-1) at the end of work periods, with slightly lower values for CT1:5. Blood lactate concentration increases until the 6th and 5th work periods for CT1:1 and CT1:3, respectively, whereas the peak value was lower and achieved earlier for CT1:5. Conversely, the number of repetitions was greater during CT1:5. These results suggest that circuit training composed of judo exercises substantially affects aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, with relative contributions depending on the rest duration.

AB  - Associations of the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D), a putative marker for prenatal androgen action, and of absolute finger length, a putative marker for pubertal-adolescent androgen action, with sport performance were examined in a multinational sample of 87 world-class women epee fencers. Lower (masculinized) digit ratios correlated, although not significantly so, with better current and highest past world rankings. These correlations were significant for right-hand 2D:4D with controls for the most salient factors for 2D:4D (ethnicity) and world rankings (years of international experience, height, and weight). Longer (masculinized) fingers correlated strongly with better current and highest past world rankings; these correlations became insignificant with the same controls. Replicating previous evidence for fencers, left-handedness was much more prevalent in this sample (21%) than in the female general population, and left-handers had somewhat, but not significantly so, lower 2D:4D as well as better world rankings than right-handers. These findings extend related evidence suggestive of prenatal programming of aptitude across a variety of sports, especially running and soccer. Some known extragenital effects of prenatal testosterone that contribute to the development of efficient cardiovascular systems, good visuospatial abilities, physical endurance and speed, and to the propensity for rough-and-tumble play, apparently promote sporting success in adult life.

AB  - Background and Study Aim: The massage before the competition and a short technical and tactical performance with a trainer make boxers ready for the exercises. Material/Methods: The research was applied on boxers who fight during Samsun Turkey Senior championship between 05-10.12.2006 and during Sivas Turkey junior championship between 28.01-02.02.2007. 112 volunteer boxers whose average age is 19.62 +/- 4.333 years, average weight is 66.45 +/- 14.577 kg and average height is 171.65 +/- 9.730 cm became a part of the study. The data gained during research verified electronically and statistically analysed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: The result of this study shows that there is a significant difference between the results of the competition with reference to warm-up with massage and without massage. Conclusions: Noticed that the massage just before the competition provides vigour, flexibility, improve both concentration and easy movement, and is parallel form of warm-up exercises in which boxer used less energy.

AB  - Almost all cultures have roots in some sort of self defence system and yet there is relatively little research in this area, outside of a sports related environment. This project investigated different applications of strikes from Kung Fu practitioners that have not been addressed before in the literature. Punch and palm strikes were directly compared from different heights and distances, with the use of a load cell, accelerometers, and high speed video. The data indicated that the arm accelerations of both strikes were similar, although the force and resulting acceleration of the target were significantly greater for the palm strikes. Additionally, the relative height at which the strike was delivered was also investigated. The overall conclusion is that the palm strike is a more effective strike for transferring force to an object. It can also be concluded that an attack to the chest would be ideal for maximizing impact force and moving an opponent off balance.

AB  - In this essay I want to demonstrate that not only male competitive sport in general but the Oriental martial arts in particular show that female dominance in the education of modern boys is not at all total. In Oriental martial arts we find a number of rituals and a kind of manhood test where boys and young men are taught masculine codes of behaviour. In our non-sensuous, highly technological society it seems that young people and especially young men have a strong need to experience the limits of the body and the importance of pushing the limits of daily life. But it makes it even more important that within the framework of the ritual should be found people who have themselves experienced this fascination and still preserve a humanistic, ethical perspective. Going in for rituals and authority, martial arts may be seen as young people's revolt against youth rebellion, but also against the paucity of sensuous experience and against the cultivation of literary and verbally abstract abilities in our modern society. Nonetheless, martial arts also contain elements familiar to youth rebellion such as an interest in the Far East and in meditation.

AB  - Aim. This study evaluated the incidence of injuries in adult elite fencers (over age 18 years). Methods. An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to the 432 adult fencers taking part in the second national qualification tournament (Foggia, 18-20 April 2008). The questionnaire contained items on sex, age, height, body weight, weapon, weapon arm, weekly practice (hours, sessions, bouts), type and duration of warm-up, competition level, number, location and type of injury sustained in the last three years and whether the injury occurred during practice or competition. Of the 432 fencers who received the questionnaire, 218 (50.5%) responded; six questionnaires were discarded because incomplete or incorrectly compiled. Results. Of the 212 athletes whose questionnaires were used in the final analysis, 122 were males and 90 females; 138 were epee, 53 foil, and 20 sabre fencers; 52 (25%) were left-handed (40 males and 12 females), with a higher proportion of left-handed male than female fencers (32.8% versus 13.3%; P=0.002). International level fencers (N.=78) practiced more than national level fencers (N.=129) in the number of sessions (4.7 +/- 1.4 versus 3.5 +/- 1.5; P<0.001) and weekly hours (12h24min +/- 6h13min versus 7h49min +/- 4h39min; P<0.001). The total number of injuries was 202, with a mean annual risk of injury of 31.8%. The most common injuries were thigh muscle strains (28.2%); ankle sprains (14.9%), knee tendinitis (7.4%), and Achilles tendinitis (5%). Occurrence of injury was associated with competitive level (P=0.010), with a higher incidence among those at the international level, and with weapon arm: the mean annual risk of injury was 40.4% in left-handed and 29.0% in right-handed fencers (P=0.026). Conclusion. The higher incidence of injuries among the left-handed fencers may be because they compete against an opponent using the opposing hand. Further study is needed to establish which aspects (technical, tactical, postural or others) may be related to greater use of musculoskeletal structures in left-handed fencers and related increased risk of injury.

AB  - Objective: To evaluate the use of prophylactic oral fluconazole in reducing the incidence of tinea gladiatorum in high school wrestlers. Design: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted on high school wrestlers in northwest Ohio between 1997 and 2007. Setting: Two northwest Ohio high school wrestling teams. Participants: High school wrestlers (373). Interventions: Prophylactic fluconazole at a daily oral dosage of 100 mg for a 3-day regimen prior to the onset of the competitive interscholastic wrestling season and 6 weeks into the wrestling season. Guardians of participants signed consent forms outlining the risks associated with fluconazole prior to being enrolled into the study. Main Outcome Measures: incidence of tinea gladiatorum in participants. Results: Over the course of this 10-year study, out of 373 participants using prophylactic fluconazole, the incidence rate of tinea gladiatorum dropped from 67.4% to 3.5%. It should be noted that more than 50% of these infections occurred within the initial year of this study when the second administration of fluconazole was given at week 8 instead of week 6. No adverse effects were reported over the 10-year study period. Conclusions: The twice-per-season regimen of 100 mg daily for 3 days was highly effective in dramatically reducing the incidence of these skin lesions. The success of our study is 2-fold: First, fluconazole provided prophylaxis. Second, the overall incidence of fungal disease throughout the entire wrestling team was markedly decreased because most of the wrestlers participated in this study, significantly reducing exposure to these lesions through wrestling practice. No adverse effects in the use of fluconazole over this 10-year study period were reported.

AB  - Purpose: To investigate the physiological responses and perceived exertion during international Taekwondo competition. Methods: Eight male Taekwondo black belts (mean +/- SD, age 22 +/- 4 y, body mass 69.4 +/- 13.4 kg, height 1.82 +/- 0.10 m, competition experience 9 +/- 5 y) took part in an international-level Taekwondo competition. Each combat included three 2-min rounds with 30 s of recovery between each round. Heart rate (HR) was recorded at 5-s intervals during each combat. Capillary blood lactate samples were taken from the fingertip 1 min before competition, directly after each round and 1 min after competition. Competitors' rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was recorded for each round using Borg's 6-to-20 scale. Results: HR (round 1: 175 +/- 15 to round 3: 187 +/- 8 beats.min(-1); P < .05), percentage of HR maximum (round 1: 89 +/- 8 to round 3: 96 +/- 5% HR(max); P < .05), blood lactate (round 1: 7.5 +/- 1.6 to round 3: 11.9 +/- 2.1 mmol.L(-1); P < .05) and RPE (round 1: 11 +/- 2 to round 3: 14 +/- 2; P < .05; mean +/- SD) increased significantly across rounds. Conclusions: International-level Taekwondo competition elicited near-maximal cardiovascular responses, high blood lactate concentrations, and increases in competitors' RPE across combat. Training should therefore include exercise bouts that sufficiently stimulate both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism.

AB  - Objective: Wrestling is a popular sport in the United States at both the high school and collegiate levels. Traditionally a men's sport, participation by female athletes in wrestling is increasing. There exists a paucity of literature regarding injury incidence in women's wrestling. This lack of information challenges the ability of sports medicine and strength training professionals to design optimal injury prevention programs, training routines, and rehabilitation strategies. The objective of this report is to detail the successful conservative rehabilitation of a female wrestler after an initial glenohumeral dislocation. Design: Case report Case description: A 20-year-old female wrestling student-athlete presented to the university's sports medicine team after sustaining an anteriorly dislocated right shoulder. The patient had the goal to return back to competition in time for the National Championships. An evidenced-supported, non-traumatic glenohumeral instability rehabilitation protocol combined with weight-bearing exercises simulating functional sport positions was implemented with the goal of returning the injured collegiate female wrestler back to sport. Results: At the end of the rehabilitation program the athlete demonstrated full active range of motion, good strength in the right shoulder, and reported her pain rating at a 1/10. The conservative rehabilitation strategy utilized in this case enabled the patient to return to wrestling and successfully compete at the National Championships. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 41, No. 5, pp. 1014-1019, 2009. Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to compare the age-related patterns of anthropometric characteristics in young wrestlers (8-13 yr) to those of a national representative sample of boys the same age. Methods: Two hundred and fifty-three young wrestlers ((X) over bar age +/- SD, 11.1 +/- 1.6 yr; height (HT), 145.5 +/- 11.4 cm; body weight (BW), 40.7 +/- 10.9 kg) volunteered as subjects in the present study. The sample of young wrestlers was divided into six independent age groups: age group 8 (AG8), 8.00-8.99 yr (n = 27); AG9, 9.00-9.99 yr (n = 43); AG10, 10.00-10.99 yr (it = 50); AG11, 11.00-11.99 yr (n = 45); AG12, 12.00-12.99 yr (n = 56); and AG13, 13.00-13.99 yr (n = 32). Nine variables including BW, HT, body mass index (BMI), subscapular and triceps skinfolds, waist, midarm, maximal calf, and midthigh circumferences were assessed on each subject. Results: The results showed that there was only one (midthigh circumference) difference between the young wrestlers and the national sample for yearly changes in the anthropometric dimensions. Discussion: These findings indicated that participation in age group wrestling was not associated with age-related patterns of anthropometric characteristics that were different from those of a national representative sample of boys the same age.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to test the influence of custom-made mouth guards on strength and anaerobic performance of taekwondo athletes. The study included 21 (11 male and 10 female) trained subjects participating in taekwondo. Anaerobic power and anaerobic capacity, isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring strength, handgrip strength, isometric lower extremity and back strength, 20 m sprint time, squat and counter movement jumping height were measured in two randomized conditions: with or without custom-made (CM) mouth guards. No significant differences were observed between the two conditions (with or without CM mouth guards) in 20 m sprint time, jumping tests, handgrip strength, isometric leg or back strength. On the other hand, peak power and average power in Wingate Anaerobic Test and Hamstring Isokinetic Peak Torque significantly increased as a result of wearing mouth guard (P < 0.05). In conclusion, we can suggest that taekwondo athletes can use CM mouth guards without any negative effects on their strength and anaerobic performance.

AB  - Aim. - The aim of this research was to assess the influence of various factors on nutritional status in children and adolescents practicing fencing and to carry out a detailed analysis of nutritional status in the studied population, taking into account the most significant variable. Current knowledge. - One of the most important issues of human nutrition is the assessment of nutritional status of children and adolescents, especially those who practice sport. There are still a lot of gaps in the knowledge on nutritional status of young athletes. The reason for this is a variety of sports disciplines and forms of training which requires detailed research and screening of young athletes' growth and development. Prospects. - In the studied population of children and adolescents practicing fencing typical gender differences in body stature and body composition occurring with age were observed, as well as favourable changes in blood lipid profile, glucose level and haematological indices.

AB  - We investigated how cortical bone, trabecular bone, and muscle adapt in US Olympic Fencing Team members. These athletes demonstrate femoral cortical bone expansion, greater distal femoral trabecular bone density, and greater muscle mass compared to controls. This is the first study to investigate musculoskeletal adaptations in Olympic fencers. Wolff's law states that bone remodels according to mechanical forces placed upon it. Our goal was to determine how cortical and trabecular bone adapt in Olympic athletes who perform intermittent high-impact activity. Nine males from the 2004 US Olympic Fencing Team and nine matched controls were evaluated by quantitative computed tomography. Femurs were scanned at 50% and 75% along the shaft. We evaluated cortical thickness (C.Th), cortical (C.Ar), trabecular (Tb.Ar), and total bone areas (Tot.Ar), proportions of C.Ar and Tb.Ar to Tot.Ar, cortical (C.BMD.), trabecular (Tb.MBD), and total bone densities (Tot.BMD), muscle (M.Ar), and thigh areas (Th.Ar). Fencers had greater C.Th (+24.5 to 38.8%), C.Ar (+16.9 to 19.6%), C.Ar/Tot.Ar (+6.3 to 16.3%), and lower Tb.Ar/Tot.Ar (-23.5% to -23.8%; p < 0.05). Fencers demonstrated a positive difference in C.Th in the dominant vs. nondominant thigh at 50% (+5.4%, p = 0.040) and at 75% (+13.8%, p = 0.048 by analysis of covariance). Fencers had 54% greater Tb.BMD at 75% (p = 0.025), but not at 50% (p = 0.63). There was no difference between groups for C.BMD (p = .66 at 50%, p = 0.88 at 75%). Fencers had greater M.Ar (+30%) and asymmetrically greater M.Ar (+12.2%) in the dominant thigh (p < 0.004). In world-class athletes who perform intermittent, high-impact activity, cortical bone expands, trabecular bone density is greater, and muscle mass is greater. This is the first study to examine musculoskeletal adaptations in Olympic fencers.

AB  - Chaouachi, A, Coutts, AJ, Chamari, K, Wong, DP, Chaouachi, M, Chtara, M, Roky, R, and Amri, M. Effect of ramadan intermittent fasting on aerobic and anaerobic performance and perception of fatigue in male elite judo athletes. J Strength Cond Res 23(9): 2702-2709, 2009-The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the Ramadan intermittent fast (RIF) on aerobic and anaerobic exercise performance in elite judo athletes (Judokas) maintaining their usual training loads. Physical performance tests (squat jump [SJ]), countermovement jump [CMJ], 30-second repeated jump, 30-m sprint, and the multistage fitness test) and fatigue scores were measured in 15 elite Judokas on 4 occasions: before Ramadan (T1), at the beginning of Ramadan (T2), at the end of Ramadan (T3) and 3 weeks after Ramadan. Results showed that 30-m sprint performance, multistage shuttle run test, SJ, and CMJ did not change during Ramadan. However, average power during the 30-second repeated jump test was slightly lower at the end of Ramadan (22.4 +/- 2.3 W/kg; P < 0.05) than before Ramadan (23.4 +/- 2.3 W/kg). There was a minor reduction of 1.3 kg in body mass and an increase in total fatigue scores (T2, 19 +/- 5; T3, 16 +/- 4; both P < 0.05) during Ramadan in comparison with the control period (T1, 12 +/- 3). These results show that the RIF has little effect on aerobic performance and on very short duration sprinting and jumping test performance in elite Judokas. Additionally, experienced athletes can maintain both sufficient energy intake and normal training loads during the RIF. The slight reduction in the 30-second jump test may be associated with reduced central drive and body mass. Collectively, these results suggest that the RIF has little effect on the performance of experienced Judokas, but Muslim athletes who train during the RIF should carefully periodize their training load and monitor their food intake and fatigue levels to avoid performance decrements.

AB  - During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and fluid intake from dawn to sunset for 1 month. These behavioural changes that accompany Ramadan may impact upon Muslim athletes who continue to train intensely. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) on the haematological, inflammatory, and immunological measures in elite judo athletes maintaining their usual high training loads. Haematological markers of inflammation, hormones, and immune status were studied in 15 elite male judo athletes before, during, and after Ramadan. The RIF produced small but significant changes in inflammatory, hormonal, and immunological profiles in judo athletes. Serum C-reactive protein increased from 2.93 +/- 0.26 mg.L(-1) pre-Ramadan to 4.60 +/- 0.51 mg.L(-1) at the end of Ramadan. Haptoglobin and antitrypsin also significantly increased at different phases during Ramadan, whereas homocysteine and prealbumin remained relatively unchanged. Albumin decreased slightly by mid-Ramadan, then recovered. Immunoglobulin A increased from 1.87 +/- 0.56 g.L(-1) before Ramadan to 2.49 +/- 0.75 g.L(-1) at the end, and remained high 3 weeks after. There were no changes in the leucocyte cell counts throughout the study. The mean blood level of thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroxine increased significantly during RIF. Most of these changes were within the normal ranges. These results suggest that athletes who continue to train intensely during Ramadan are liable to experience a myriad of small fluctuations in hormones, immunoglobulins, antioxidants, and inflammatory responses.

AB  - Kibadachi is a rather simple karate exercise performed during a several-day-long special training, in which the participants squat in a crouching position for an hour and a half without moving. Despite its simplicity, and because its main feature is the immediate and excruciating pain it induces, kibadachi stimulates a kind of permeability between the participants, and also causes changes in the relations between physical and mental parts of their lived body. Following Deleuze and Guattari, kibadachi, and its capacity to dissolve boundaries, is analysed here as a way of becoming a Body without Organs. The participants of kibadachi enter social and somatic dynamics which operate potentiality hidden in their lived bodies, alter boundaries, and reinforce connectedness.

AB  - Nationalism is the untenable union of the impersonal, mechanistic, bureaucratic logic of the state and the intimate, emotional, organic logic of the nation. While practicing martial arts, the participants at the Israeli Survival School of Ju Jutsu create a utopian Israeliness, using bits of state-national understandings to form a family-like organicity. At the North Indian school of wrestling described by Joseph Alter, too, an organic utopian nationalism is practiced into existence through meticulous care for the body itself. A comparison between those modes of embodying the national, set in very different cultural and national realities, reveals not only different understandings of the national and of its organic nature, but also different uses of semiotic mechanisms. Whereas the Israeli world of the Survival School is based on representation, the Indian one is constructed from the body and the environment, set in dense connectedness forming this world in and of itself.

AB  - Professional boxing has done an admirable job in promoting safety standards in its particular sport. However, injuries occur during the normal course of competition and, unfortunately, an occasional life-threatening emergency may arise. Although most common medical emergencies in boxing are injuries from closed head trauma, in this article those infrequent but potentially catastrophic nonneurologic conditions are reviewed along with some less serious emergencies that the physician must be prepared to address.

AB  - The purpose Of this study was to explore the possible differences in body image, emotional intelligence, anxiety levels and disordered eating attitudes in a group of Taekwondo (TKD) and judo athletes and non-athletes. The interrelationships of the above parameters were also examined. A total of 60 subjects were recruited: 20 were national and international TKD and judo athletes and 40 were non-athletes. Subjects completed the following questionnaires: the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the BarOn Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (BarOn EQ-1). Athletes had higher levels of emotional intelligence compared to the control group, particularly in factors such as assertiveness (p < 0.01) and flexibility (p < 0.01). The differences were more pronounced in the female athletes compared with the non-athletes, With statistically significant differences in most of the intrapersonal factors (p < 0.01), including self-regard and self-actualization, in the adaptability factors and in most OF the mood factors, There were no significant differences in terms of disordered eating attitudes (EAT-26) between the two groups, Regression analysis revealed that disordered eating attitudes were significantly positively correlated with anxiety levels (p < 0.001) and with self-classified weight (p < 0.001). Athletes had higher levels of emotional intelligence and a healthier body image compared to non-athletes, but there were no significant differences in terms of disordered eating attitudes.

AB  - Muay Thai is a martial art that requires complex skills and tactical excellence for success. However, the energy demand during a Muay Thai competition has never been studied. This study was devised to obtain an understanding of the physiological capacities underlying Muay Thai performance. To that end, the aerobic energy expenditure and the recruitment of anaerobic metabolism were assessed in 10 male athletes during a simulation match of Muay Thai. Subjects were studied while wearing a portable gas analyzer, which was able to provide data on oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, and heart rate (HR). The excess of CO(2) production (CO(2) (excess)) was also measured to obtain an index of anaerobic glycolysis. During the match, group energy expenditure was, on average (mean +/- standard error of the mean), 10.75 +/- 1.58 kcal.min(-1), corresponding to 9.39 +/- 1.38 metabolic equivalents. Oxygen uptake and HRs were always above the level of the anaerobic threshold assessed in a preliminary incremental test. CO(2 excess) showed an abrupt increase in the first round, and reached a value of 636 +/- 66.5 mL.min(-1). This parameter then gradually decreased throughout the simulation match. These data suggest that Muay Thai is a physically demanding activity with great involvement of both the aerobic metabolism and anaerobic glycolysis. In particular, it appears that, after an initial burst of anaerobic glycolysis, there was a progressive increase in the aerobic energy supply. Thus, training protocols should include exercises that train both aerobic and anaerobic energetic pathways.

AB  - In boxing, along with a few other sports, trauma is inherent to the nature of the sport; therefore it is considered a high-risk sport for ocular injuries. The long-term morbidity of ocular injuries suffered by boxers is difficult to estimate due to the lack of structured long-term follow-up of these athletes. Complications of blunt ocular trauma may develop years after the athlete has retired from the ring and is no longer considered to be at risk for boxing-related injuries. This article describes the wide range of eye injuries a boxer can sustain, and their immediate and long-term clinical management.

AB  - The aim of the research zoos to indicate the main factors of development declared by the practitioners of the different disciplines of martial arts and combat sports in selected countries of Central Europe. In particular, such variables as training location and type of martial arts/combat sports have been taken into consideration. Five research questions have been established which should be answered in order to find the solution to the posed problem. The theoretical perspective for analyses presented here consists of sociology of sport and humanist theory of martial arts. This approach results in the need for quantitative and qualitative analysis of the answers to questions about the barriers of development according to the variables of the practiced variety (a martial art, a combat sport) and the place of training. The method of diagnostic survey has been used. The research zoos conducted on a group of 500 subjects front south-eastern Poland, Slovakia, Germany and additionally (for comparison) front England, of which 489 were accepted for the study. This number includes 137 representatives of kyokushin karate front Poland, 143 Polish karatekas of non-contact varieties, 18 representatives of jujitsu and karatefrom Germany, 37 aikidokas from Poland (a martial art without sportive rivalry), 107 judokas from Poland and 24 judokas from Slovakia, with an additional 23 British rugby players. The selection of the group zoos deliberate and complete, taking into account the representatives of various martial arts and combat sports, with rugby used for comparative purposes. Practicing martial arts oriented to self-realization, determines the motivation for their practice, which differs from the motivation in sport (combat sports). It influences the dominating choices of values-goals and popularity, thus the development of given varieties. Both martial arts and combat sports of Asian origin (aikido, judo, jujitsu, karate) attract practitioners, mainly due to their usefulness in self-defense. The values connected with training and sportive rivalry (combat sports, rugby) are also noticed. The variable of place (country) is connected with the dominating forms in promoting a given martial art or combat sport.

AB  - Aim: Previous studies reported the relation of left-handedness with dental and head traumas in normal population. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between dental traumas, such as non-vitality and fracture, and left-handedness. Materials and methods: Twenty three Turkish international professional boxers were included in the study. Existence of teeth that had trauma and loss of vitality in these boxers were investigated. Results: The mean number of non-vital teeth was higher in left-handers than in right-handers for right-lower, left-upper, left-lower, and total regions, but not for the right-upper region. However, there were no significant differences between right- and left-handers in terms of the mean number of fractured teeth. Besides, left-handed boxers had a higher number of non-vital molar teeth. Conclusion: The higher dental trauma risk in the left-handed boxers compared to the right-handed ones may be due to the biological and environmental differences between them, and may not be associated with boxing.

AB  - "Attentional" adaptations are fundamental effects for sport performance. We tested the hypothesis that tiredness and muscular fatigue poorly affect visuo-spatial attentional processes in elite karate athletes. To this aim, 14 elite karate athletes and 11 non-athletes were involved in an isometric contraction exercise protocol up to muscular fatigue. Blood lactate and attention measurements were taken. Posner's test probed "endogenous" (i.e. internally planned allocation of spatial attention) and "reflexive" (i.e., brisk variation of endogenous spatial attention due to unexpected external stimuli) attention. Lactate and attentional measurements were performed before (Block 1, B1) and after the fatiguing exercise (B2) and at the end of a recovery period (B3). Compared to the non-athletes, the athletes showed a better performance in the fatigue protocol, confirmed by the higher absolute lactate values, the athletes showed a better performance in the fatigue protocol, confirmed by the higher absolute lactate values in B2. The correct responses in the "valid trials" probing "endogenous" attention were 92.4% (B1), 93.9% (B2), and 95.8% (B3) in the non-athletes, and 98.5%, 96.4%, 95.5% in the elite karate athletes. The correct responses in the "invalid trials" probing "reflexive" attention were 95.4%, 89.7%, 93.2% in the non-athletes, and 96.4%, 97.3%, 98.5% in the elite karate athletes. The percentage of correct responses in the "invalid" trials significantly decreased from B1 to B2 in the non-athletes but not in the elite karate athletes. In conclusion, tiredness and muscular fatigue do not affect "reflexive" attentional processes of elite karate athletes, which is crucial to contrast attacks coming from an unexpected spatial region.

AB  - Breath-by-breath O(2) uptake ((V) over dot(O2), L min(-1)) and blood lactate concentration were measured before, during exercise, and recovery in six kata and six kumite karate Word Champions performing a simulated competition. (V) over dot(O2max); maximal anaerobic alactic, and lactic power were also assessed. The total energy cost ((V) over dotO(2TOT); mL kg(-1) above resting) of each simulated competition was calculated and subdivided into aerobic, lactic, and alactic fractions. Results showed that (a) no differences between kata and kumite groups in (V) over dot(O2max); height of vertical jump, and Wingate test were found; (b) (V) over dot(O2TOT) were 87.8 +/- 6.6 and 82.3 +/- 12.3 mL kg(-1) in kata male and female with a performance time of 138 +/- 4 and 158 +/- 14 s, respectively; 189.0 +/- 14.6 mL kg(-1) in kumite male and 155.8 +/- 38.4 mL kg(-1) in kumite female with a predetermined performance time of 240 +/- 0 and 180 +/- 0 s, respectively; (c) the metabolic power was significantly higher in kumite than in kata athletes (p <= 0.05 in both gender); (d) aerobic and anaerobic alactic sources, in percentage of the total, were significantly different between gender and disciplines (p < 0.05), while the lactic source was similar; (e) HR ranged between 174 and 187 b min(-1) during simulated competition. In conclusion, kumite appears to require a much higher metabolic power than kata, being the energy source with the aerobic contribution predominant.

AB  - Douris, PC, Elokda, AS, Handrakis, JP, Principal, S, Rondo, E, Bovell, J, Coughlin, WP, Mastroianni, CN, Wong, MJ, and Zimmerman, T. Martial art training enhances the glutathione antioxidant system in middle-aged adults. J Strength Cond Res. 23(5): 1518-1523, 2009-The purpose of this study was to compare the antioxidant capacity of physically active middle-aged martial artists to age-matched sedentary controls. Nine sedentary subjects (mean age 52.9 yr) and 9 martial artists (mean age 51.8 yr) who practice Soo Bahk Do, a Korean martial art and were age- and sex-matched performed a graded exercise test (GXT) using a modified Bruce protocol. Ages ranged from 41 to 58 years. A GXT has been shown to be an effective technique for inducing oxidative stress. Glutathione (GSH) is the body's most highly concentrated antioxidant, is the central component of the antioxidant system, and plays an essential role in protecting tissues against oxidative stress. Free radical oxidation leads to the transformation of GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG). Venous blood samples for GSH and GSSG were collected before and immediately after the GXT. Repeated measures analysis of variance were performed on the resting baseline values and immediate post-GXT values of GSH, GSSG, and GSH: GSSG to compare groups. The blood GSH, GSSG, and GSH: GSSG levels were significantly different (p, 0.001) between the 2 groups at rest and after the GXT. The Soo Bahk Do practitioners had higher resting levels of GSH and lower levels of GSSG and responded more effectively to acute oxidative stress than the age-matched sedentary controls. Soo Bahk Do appears to enhance the antioxidant defense system and may be an effective intervention for improving overall health by protecting against the adverse effects of oxidative stress that is associated with the free radical theory of aging. Health professionals should be aware of alternative methods of training, conditioning, and exercise that can improve the general adaptation response to oxidative stress.

AB  - Aim.. The purpose of this study Was to determine fitness profiles of top-level female judokas of the Serbian national team and to find which physical and physiological characteristics separate the more successful from less Successful athletes. Methods. Sixteen elite female judokas of the Serbian national team (weight categories from 48-78 kg) took part in the Study. The participants were allocated in two experimental groups (Group A and Group B) according to their achievements in previous international competitions. Group A (top-quality performers) consisted of eight judokas who won at least one or more individual medals in international competitions in the last five years. Group B (sub-elite athletes) consisted of eight athletes who had not won any individual medals internationally. Anthropometric and physical fitness values including body fat, Muscle strength, aerobic and anaerobic fitness) were measured in all subjects. Results. Group A had significantly lower fat mass as compared to group B (P<0.05). The differences between the two groups for aerobic fitness were non-significant after normalizing maximal oxygen uptake ((V) over dot(O2max)) for lean body mass (P>0.05). The differences between two groups were significant for bench press and seated-row Pull with superior results recorded for elite athletes as compared to sub-elite Counterparts (P<0.05). Significant differences between groups were found in number of throws during Specific judo fitness test (SJFT) and lactate concentrations 5 minutes post-exercise (La 5) (P<0.05). Conclusion. Them present study indicates that a strong relationship exists between body fat, strength and performance level in elite female judo.

AB  - STUDY DESIGN: Case series. CASE DESCRIPTION: Five consecutive collegiate Division I wrestlers, with a mean age of 20.2 years (range, 18-22 years), were treated postsurgical stabilization to address posterior glenohumeral joint instability. All received physical therapy postoperatively, consisting of range-of-motion, strengthening, and plyometrics exercises, neuromuscular re-education, and sport-specific training. Functional outcome scores using the Penn Shoulder Score questionnaire were recorded at postsurgical initial evaluation and discharge. Isometric shoulder strength, measured with a handheld dynamometer at discharge, was compared with measurements made during preseason screening. OUTCOMES: Postsurgery, upon initial physical therapy evaluation, scores on the Penn Shoulder Score questionnaire ranged from 37 to 74 out of 100. All 5 wrestlers improved with rehabilitation such that their scores at discharge ranged from 81 to 91 out of 100. Mean external rotation-internal rotation strength ratio for the involved shoulder was 73.5% (range, 55.9%-88.7%) preseason and 80.9% (range, 70.2%-104.1%) postrehabilitation. Four patients were able to return to wrestling over a period of 1 season, with no episodes of reinjury to their surgically repaired shoulder. DISCUSSION: Current research on posterior glenohumeral instability is limited, due to the relatively rare diagnosis and infrequent need for surgical intervention, Providing a structured physical therapy program following this surgical procedure appeared to have assisted in a return to full functional activities and sports.

AB  - The objective of the present study was to verify if active recovery (AR) applied after a judo match resulted in a better performance when compared to passive recovery (PR) in three tasks varying in specificity to the judo and in measurement of work performed: four upper-body Wingate tests (WT); special judo fitness test (SJFT); another match. For this purpose, three studies were conducted. Sixteen highly trained judo athletes took part in study 1, 9 in study 2, and 12 in study 3. During AR judokas ran (15 min) at the velocity corresponding to 70% of 4 mmol l(-1) blood lactate intensity (similar to 50% (V) over dotO(2) peak), while during PR they stayed seated at the competition area. The results indicated that the minimal recovery time reported in judo competitions (15 min) is long enough for sufficient recovery of WT performance and in a specific high-intensity test (SJFT). However, the odds ratio of winning a match increased ten times when a judoka performed AR and his opponent performed PR, but the cause of this phenomenon cannot be explained by changes in number of actions performed or by changes in match's time structure.

AB  - Background and Study Aim: Judo is very physiological demanding sport, but there are no many physical fitness specific tests. One of the most used specific judo tests is the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) proposed by Sterkowicz ( 1995). Although this test has been used by many coaches in different countries no classificatory table was found to classify the judo athletes according to their results. Thus, the aim of this work was to present a classificatory table for this test. Material/Methods: For this purpose 141 judo athletes ( mean +/-standard deviation: 21.3+/-4.5years-old; 74.2+/-15.9 kg of body mass and 176.7+/-8.2 cm of height; judo ranking between 3(rd) kyu and 3(rd) dan) familiarized with the SJFT performed it once in order to provide data to establish a classificatory table. Results: After the analysis of data distribution a five scale table (20% for each classificatory category) was developed considering the variables used in the SJFT ( number of throws, heart rate after and 1 min after the test and index). Conclusions: The classificatory table can help coaches using the SJFT to classify their athletes' level and to monitor their physical fitness progress.

AB  - Background: The study seeks to analyze the difficulty of implementing the fifteen techniques that make up the program of 1(st) Dan Black Belt in the Spanish context. The objective is to establish a sequential order, depending on the level of difficulty, allowing us to draw up a teaching program more consistent with the initiation process at early ages. Material/Methods: The sample consisted of 911 teachers whose level of experience was at least 1st Dan black belt. The instrument consists of six items and was developed to facilitate the implementation of the basic actions of pulling and pushing in terms of the direction of the technique and control of the fall, the level of difficulty in its application, the facility to adjust the technical action in relation to space and time, and level of intersegmental coordination in the implementation of each of the techniques. The study used factor analysis, descriptive and inferential variables with SPSS software. 12.0. Results: The results show that the level of difficulty in the implementation and adaptation of technology to space-time parameters are more difficult at these ages. De Ashi Harai or Okuri Ashi Harai pose an additional difficulty by introducing the element of precision. Conclusions: We suggest making a new proposal for a methodology of teaching with the aim of encouraging learning and bringing the environment closer to the sport of judo. Progress should be based on actions and techniques that facilitate the throwing of the companion, based on safety in the performance and the balance of the judoists.

AB  - The objective of this study was to assess current levels of enforcement and compliance with the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987, and to determine if enforcement activity and compliance has changed since 1997. A postal questionnaire was sent to all of 73 territorial authorities in New Zealand. Main outcome measures include number and rates of swimming pools ( per 1000 dwellings and per 1000 population); mean number of building consents and code compliance certificates issued for pools per territorial authority; mean number of pool inspections made per territorial authority; and the proportion of pools complying with the requirements of the Act. There was around a 9% increase in the prevalence of domestic swimming pools in New Zealand, from 46 pools/1000 dwellings in 1997 to 50 pools/1000 dwellings in 2006 was observed. There has been a 65% increase in the proportion of pools reported as complying with the Act. The proportion of authorities reporting a programme of re-inspection for domestic swimming pools increased from 28% in 1997 to 63% in 2006. There has also been an increase in the proportion of domestic swimming pools recorded as complying with the Act. Finally, a considerable improvement in the enforcement and monitoring activities of territorial authorities in New Zealand was found.

AB  - Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the role of left- or right-handedness on the success of the boxer. Methods: The study was based on a sample of 22 active, semi-professional or amateur men boxers attending National Road Sport Men Boxing Club in Erzurum, Turkey. The boxers had been actively boxing for 4 15 years (mean 9.87), were aged 17-46 years (mean 32.25), and weighed 65-101 kg (mean 81.06). They were divided into two groups according to the research protocol (left- and right-handed boxers). The status of left- or right-handedness of the boxer included in the research was determined using the Oldfield (Edinburgh Handedness Inventory) Index. Then the boxers were categorised into two groups (win and defeat). Success rates in both groups were expressed in percentages. The data obtained from both of the groups were compared statistically by means of significance test between proportions (t test). Results: Left-handed boxers had been involved in 75 800 fights (mean 120.6), with 5-79 lost (mean 19.32). A similar evaluation was made for the right-handed boxers. The right-handed boxers had been involved in 50-820 fights (mean 127.8), with 23-78 lost (mean 42.25). Left-handed boxers were found to be more successful than right-handed ones. The difference between them was found to be significant (p<0.01). Conclusions: It was concluded that left- handed people should never be forced to convert to right-handedness; instead they should be supported both verbally and in terms of equipment and they should be motivated, because the data obtained proved that left-handedness means success, especially in boxing.

AB  - The purpose of this study is to provide a tool, based on the knowledge of technical errors, which helps to improve the teaching and learning process of the Uki Goshi technique. With this aim, we set out to determine the most frequent errors made by 44 students when performing this technique and how these mistakes relate. In order to do so, an observational analysis was carried out using the OSJUDO-UKG instrument and the data were registered using Match Vision Studio (Castellano, Perea, Alday and Hernandez, 2008). The results, analyzed through descriptive statistics, show that the absence of a correct initial unbalancing movement (45,5%), the lack of proper right-arm pull (56,8%), not blocking the faller's body (Uke) against the thrower's hip -Tori- (54,5%) and throwing the Uke through the Tori's side are the most usual mistakes (72,7%). Through the sequencial analysis of T-Patterns obtained with the THEME program (Magnusson, 1996, 2000) we have concluded that not blocking the body with the Tori's hip provokes the Uke's throw through the Tori's side during the final phase of the technique (95,8%), and positioning the right arm on the dorsal region of the Uke's back during the Tsukuri entails the absence of a subsequent pull of the Uke's body (73,3%).

AB  - Effects of long-term motor practice on movement-related brain activities were investigated by measuring from the scalp, movement-related cortical potentials (MRCP) associated with self-paced right (dominant) and left (non-dominant) brisk handgrip movements with a 20% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) in 8 elite kendo players (kendo group) and 8 healthy young adults (control group). The kendo players had engaged in regular practice since childhood. Three components of MRCP were obtained from all subjects. These components relating to the preparation (Bereitschaftspotential: BP and negative slope: NS') and initiation (motor potential: MP) of the movements were compared between the two groups. The BP onset time for a non-dominant handgrip task was significantly earlier in the control group than in the kendo group. Moreover, BP onset time appeared significantly earlier preceding the non-dominant handgrip task as compared with the dominant one only in the control group. Furthermore, MP amplitudes in the kendo group were significantly larger than in the control group. These findings suggest that long-term motor practice affects brain activities, leading to practice-dependent modulations in the cortical areas involved in the preparation and initiation of self-paced non-dominant handgrip movements in kendo players.

AB  - The present purpose was to evaluate changes in 10 elite judokas' mood state (5 men, 5 women) during the 7-wk. competitive period of the season. Quantitative monitoring of the training volume and body-weight monitoring were recorded, and an adapted Profile of Mood States was administered weekly, including competition days. Analysis showed that following a significant decrease in the specific training load volume, there were no significant changes in judokas' ratings on the Profile of Mood States; however, there was a decrease of 3 or 4% of the initial body weight during the precompetition weeks, which significantly affected mood state during competition, indicated by an increase in rated Tension and Vigor and a decrease in rated Fatigue.

AB  - Study Aim: To develop a learning model in kendo for introduction courses that encourages participants to understand the competitive and cultural essences of kendo through tactical learning. By doing this, this study also aimed to present material that is of use for introducing or improving introduction courses to encourage beginners to become regular attendees/practitioners in clubs. Material/Methods: The regulations of kendo matches and various studies on the structure of kendo skills were used to interpret ideas of 'waza' in kendo and clarify the competitive and cultural essences of kendo. This was followed by discussions of why learning tactics is important in acquiring waza, and developing a new learning model for kendo by referring to teaching models of games and kendo Results: A new learning model for kendo introduction courses that consists of seven lessons was presented as well as how to provide learning situations in which participants are encouraged to understand the competitive and cultural essences of kendo through learning tactics in each learning stage. Conclusions: Kendo is 'something new' for many non-Japanese people. In introduction courses, therefore, it is necessary to provide not only the basic techniques, but also opportunities to understand the original competitive and cultural characteristics of kendo. This study has presented a new learning model to achieve this aim. However, this model needs to be improved and developed though practice and implementation in the future.

AB  - HOSSEINI, A. H., and J. LIFSHITZ. Brain Injury Forces of Moderate Magnitude Elicit the Fencing Response. Med Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 41, No. 9, pp. 1687-1697, 2009. Introduction: Traumatic brain injury is heterogeneous, both in its induction and ensuing neurological sequelae. In this way, medical care depends on accurately identifying the severity of injury-related forces. Clinically, injury severity is determined by a combination of the Glasgow Coma Scale, length of unconsciousness, posttraumatic amnesia, and persistence of neurological sequelae. In the laboratory, injury severity is gauged by the biomechanical forces and the acute suppression of neurological reflexes. The present communication describes and validates the "fencing response" as an overt indicator of injury force magnitude and midbrain localization to aid in injury identification and classification. Methods: Using YouTube (TM), the Internet video database, videos were screened for head injury resulting in unconsciousness and documented for the fencing response. Adult male rats were subjected to midline fluid percussion brain injury at two severities, observed for acute neurological reflexes and the midbrain evaluated histopathologically. Results: Tonic posturing (fencing response) has been observed to precede convulsions in sports injuries at the moment of impact, where extension and flexion of opposite arms occurs despite body position or gravity. Of the 35 videos identified by an impact to the head and period of unconsciousness, 66% showed a fencing response at the moment of impact, regardless of the side of impact, without ensuing convulsion. Similarly, diffuse brain-injured rats demonstrate a fencing response upon injury at moderate (1.9 atm, 39/44 animals) but not mild severity (1.1 atm, 0/19 animals). The proximity of the lateral vestibular nucleus to the cerebellar peduncles makes it vulnerable to mechanical forces that initiate a neurochemical storm to elicit the neuromotor response, disrupt the blood-brain barrier, and alter the nuclear volume. Conclusions: Therefore, the fencing response likely indicates neurological disturbance unique from convulsion associated with mechanical forces of moderate magnitude imparted on the midbrain and can assist in guiding medical care after injury.

AB  - Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the aerobic fitness of elite female wrestlers, and to determine whether there are gender differences in the physiological response to graded exercise. Materials and Methods: Ten female and ten male freestyle wrestlers volunteered for the study. They all performed a graded exercise test on the treadmill until exhaustion. To measure lactate concentration capillary blood was taken from the finger tip at the end of every workload and after 3, 5 and 7 minutes of recovery. Anaerobic threshold was defined as the running velocity associated with 4 mmol/l during the incremental exercise test (AT(4)) and as the individual anaerobic threshold (IAT). Results: Maximal oxygen consumption (VO(2)max) normalized to body mass or to fat free mass was significantly higher in male than in female wrestlers (59.8 and 49.7 ml/min/kg and 72.7 and 63.9 ml/min/kg FFA, respectively). Total oxygen uptake at the anaerobic thresholds (AT4 and IAT) was similar in men and women, but when expressed as %VO(2)max, it was significantly higher in females. The peak blood lactate concentration was significantly higher in male than in female wrestlers (14.1 and 10.5 mmol/l, respectively). Conclusion: This study was the first to assess the aerobic fitness of female wrestlers. It demonstrated that there are significant gender related differences between female and male wrestlers. Possibly the lower VO(2)max in the female wrestlers was compensated by their higher oxygen utilization at the anaerobic threshold. This result indicates that AT4 method is sufficiently reliable for measuring anaerobic threshold for female and male wrestlers. (Biol.Sport 26:339-348, 2009)

AB  - Background and Study Aim: The internal proportions of body build of a specific sportsman or chosen athletes' group is very important and little know problem of sport anthropology. That issue is extremely current in combat sports and particularly in wrestling. Cognitive purpose of the research is an attempt of defining qualification of propriety of body build of national Polish representatives in training Greco-Roman style of wrestling against the background of persons of the same population who do not practice sport professionally. Material/Methods: The research included the representatives of Poland in Greco-Roman wrestling (n=13). Age of the competitors ranged from 18-28 years (20.54 +/- 2.60), mass of body ranged 53-120 kg (78.23 +/- 20.72) and height 162-191 cm (173.99 +/- 10.71). The length of training time of wrestlers was 5-12 years (8.54 +/- 2.22) and was considerably varied. The comparative group were the students of Warsaw Technical University (Poland). 20 basic somatic measurements were conducted according to the accepted rules. There were specified some indices: slenderness, Rohrer, BMJ, Manouvrier and pelvis - shoulder. Densities of body, total fat of body, active tissue, general profile of body build, internal proportions of body build were calculated. Results: The analysis of internal proportions of competitors' body build factors revealed essential differences of individual set of features. Predominant among distinguished three factors in light and middle weight categories is factor of fat deposition and in a heavy weight category is factor of fat deposition and stoutness. Proportions of internal features of the factors showed that in all weight categories particularly strongly muscled is forearm, on the contrary - weakly - shin. within features expressing stoutness of skeleton, only within light and middle weight categories wrestlers occurs distinct predominance of elbow width and no proportionate - with reference to general factor value - small pelvis width. Conclusions: The important factor determining morphological differentiation of wrestlers are weight categories. The bigger the body mass the more distinct becomes change of body build into direction of body mass gain at the cost of loss of slenderness features.

AB  - Background: It is currently assumed in sports theory and practice that general and special physical preparation is an indispensable condition for the development of motor skills as one of the most important factors determining the effectiveness of athletes' training and competition activity. Therefore, the aim of the study is an analysis of correlative connections between indices of judo competitors' general and special physical preparation at various stages of long-standing training. Material/Methods: The paper presents the results of studies on general and special physical preparation of three groups of female judo competitors: eleven Polish national team representatives in the senior category (the stage of maximal realisation of individual capabilities), fifteen Polish national team and Pomerania Province team representatives in the category of juniors (the stage of directed training), and fourteen Pomerania Province team representatives in the category of sub-juniors and younger juniors (the stage of general training). General physical preparation was assessed on the basis of the International Physical Fitness Test (IPFT), and the special one on the basis of Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT). Results: Competitors from all groups are characterised by high IPFT indices. The studied group of seniors exceed 16-18-year-old competitors in a statistically significant way, who in turn exceed the 13-15-year-old ones as far as results obtained in the SJFT test are concerned. Highly-qualified competitors are characterised by more expressed and direct interdependence between the IPFT and SJFT test indices in comparison with the studied groups of 16-18-year-old and 13-15-year-old competitors. Conclusions: With increase in judo competitors' sports level, the number and the level of these mutual relations also increases.

AB  - Wrestling is one of the oldest and most popular competitive sports in the world, however, knowledge of the biomechanics of wrestling is not well established and the biomechanical risk factors of injuries unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the joint kinematics of the lower limbs and the center of pressure ( COP) movements in Greco-Roman style (GR) and free style (FS) wrestlers during tackle defense. Eighteen male college wrestlers participated in the current study: 10 majored in GR (height: 171.1 +/- 8.0 cm; weight: 73.9 +/- 11.5 kg) and 8 in FS (height: 169.0 +/- 5.2 cm; weight: 71.8 +/- 11.4 kg). The wrestlers received tackle attacks from three different directions while their kinematic data measured by a 3D motion capture system and ground reaction forces from two AMTI forceplates. The wrestlers who majored in GR style tended to resist tackle attacks longer than the FS group. Compared to the GR group, the FS wrestlers tended to have greater A/P excursions of the COP with significant greater knee flexion. This flexed knee strategy may be related to the rule of the game and the training the FS wrestlers received. Significantly increased joint angles in the transverse and frontal planes at the knee and ankle found in the current study may be related to the risk of knee and ankle injuries commonly observed in wrestlers. Strengthening of the muscles of the lower extremity may be helpful for reducing these injuries during competitions.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to examine exercise-induced arterial adaptations in elite Judo male and female athletes. 27 male Judo athletes (age 24.06 +/- 2 years), 11 female Judoka ( age 24.27 +/- 1 years), 27 sedentary healthy men (age 24.01 +/- 2 years) and 11 women (age 24.21 +/- 1 years) participated in the current study. The examined vessels included brachial, radial, ulnar, popliteal, anterior and posterior tibial arteries. The experimental parameters were recorded with the use of Duplex ultrasound at rest. Diastolic diameter and blood mean flow velocity of the examined arteries in Judo athletes were found to be both significantly increased (p < 0.05) compared to the findings of the control groups. In male Judo athletes the brachial (p < 0.001), radial (p < 0.001), and anterior tibial artery (p < 0.001) presented the highest difference on the diastolic diameter, compared with the control male group. In female Judo athletes, ulnar (p < 0.001), radial (p < 0.001), and brachial (p < 0.001) arteries illustrated the highest diastolic diameter. The highest blood mean flow velocity was recorded in ulnar (p < 0.001) and popliteal arteries (p < 0.001) of the Judo athletes groups. Recording differences between the two genders, male participants presented larger arteries than females. Conclusively, Judo has been found to be a highly demanding physical sport, involving upper and lower limbs leading to significant arterial adaptations. Obtaining vascular parameters provide a useful tool to the medical team, not only in the direction of enhancement of the efficacy of physical training, but in unknown so far parameters that may influence athletic performance of both male and female elite Judokas.

AB  - The objective of this study was to determine and compare lactate profile of two groups of Greco-Roman wrestlers with different competences and training experience. Study was conducted on 10 wrestles that were members of Croatian national team and 10 wrestlers that were members of Wrestling club Split. Lactate samples were collected at four intervals during control fights that were held according to international wrestling rules of World wrestling federation FILA. Values of lactate increased as competition progressed, and they were highest at the end of the match for both groups of wrestlers. According to this study there were no significant differences in lactate between two groups at the end of the match, while significant differences were noted during the match. The information about lactate profile presented in this study can be used by coaches and wrestlers to develop condition programs.

AB  - The aim of the study was to assess interdependence of specific motor abilities (situation karate tests) and motor skills (karate techniques), and karate performance (fighting efficiency) in under-sixteen male karateka aged 11-12 and 13-14 years. A battery of 5 situation motor tests were applied and 6 basic elements of karate technique evaluated in a sample of 20 male karateka aged 11-12 and 20 male karateka aged 13-14 years. Three criterion variables were formed: 1) one factor as a factor of general technical efficiency in karate was isolated by factor analysis of 6 karate techniques; 2) cumulative evaluation of 2 kate as kate performance; and 3) total score assessment based on success achieved at national karate championships as contest efficiency (fighting efficiency). Regression analysis revealed the frequency of gedan barai blockade performance to be the superior predictor of technical efficiency, kate performance and contest success in karateka aged 11-12, whereas the speed of the gedan barai-jaku zuki (block-kick) combination performance and specific agility (sidewise mobility) were superior predictors of performance in karateka aged 13-14. Of the karate techniques (kicks) used, the quality of jaku zuki kick performance was the superior predictor of contest efficiency in karateka aged 11-12, and the quality of the jaku zuki-mawashi geri and kizame zuki-jaku zuki combination performance in karateka aged 13-14.

AB  - [Purpose] Kendo practitioners often suffer from left low back pain. The present study was undertaken to analyze the features of range of motion (ROM) of the hip joint of kendo practitioners and their relation to prevention of lower back pain. [Subjects and Methods] The study involved 37 male university kendo practitioners: 26 kendo practitioners having a history of lower back pain, I I kendo practitioners having no history of lower back pain. In accordance with the method of ROM measurement set forth by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association, the same examiner measured hip joint ROM during passive flexion/extension and internal/external rotation. [Results] In the low back pain group, no laterality was noted in the ROM of the external rotation. However, ROM of the internal rotation was significantly smaller on the left side than on the right side. The range of rotation was significantly smaller on the left side than on the right side. [Conclusion] The ROM of hip rotation on the left side was significantly diminished (less than 90 degrees) only in the low back pain group, and the laterality in ROM of left hip rotation was significantly greater in the low back pain group than in the non-low back pain group (p<0.05). These findings suggest that small ROM of left hip rotation is a factor responsible for the onset of lower back pain.

AB  - [Purpose] Lower back pain is a characteristic of Kendo practitioners which is often encountered clinically. The present study was undertaken to analyze the features of the spinal alignment in Kendo practitioners and their relation to lower back pain. [Subjects and Methods] Of the 32 Kendo practitioners who consulted our hospital with a complaint of lower back pain and received physical therapy during the two years and three months from January 2005 to April 2007, Oil X-ray, the degree of eight kendo practitioners' spinal curvature was measured by Cobb's method. Inclination and rotation were measured at each intervertebral level of the lumbar spine. The angle of inclination at each intervertebral space (L1/2, L2/3, L3/4 and L4/5) was measured. In one of the kendo practitioners, the motion of stepping forward to make a frontal thrust was analyzed three-dimensionally. [Results] During the forward-stepping motion, the thoracic spine showed right convex curvature and the lumbar spine showed left convex curvature, with Cobb's angle being 12.4 +/- 2.5 degrees for the thoracic spine and 13.7 +/- 1.7 degrees for the lumbar spine. [Conclusions] These results suggest that shear stress at the left intervertebral joint at the L3/4 and L4/5 levels and stress of the facet joint capsule are involved in lower back pain.

AB  - The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of a combination of gradual and rapid body mass loss on the physical performance and psychological state of elite judo athletes. Participants were divided into two groups: the experimental (diet) group needed to reduce body mass by 2-6%, whereas the control group did not need to lose body mass. Body mass, percentage of body fat, vertical jump, repetitions of judo movements, rowing with additional loads, and the Profile of Mood States were assessed at 4 weeks before a championship and again one day before the same championship. Compared with 4 weeks before the championship, the experimental group showed a significant decrease in body mass (-41.1%, P0.05), estimated body fat (-104.0%, P0.05), and judo movement repetitions over 30s (-4.52.7, P0.05), and an increase in scores for confusion (-14.67.9, P0.05) and tension (-10.112.5, P0.05), but a decrease in vigour (11.38.5, P0.05), one day before the championship. There was no difference in squat jump or countermovement jump performance or in judo movement repetitions over 5s. Our results show that for the experimental group some aspects of performance were impaired one day before a competition, but performance of judo movements over 5s was not affected.

AB  - This paper deals with the peculiarities and recent developments of popular culture in general and sports competitions, dance and music, particularly in Buryatia and other regions of significant Buryat population. Based mainly on the author's own observations it is shown how the ongoing societal changes are reflected in the activities of sportspeople, dancers and musicians. All of them are characterised by both traditional and re-traditionalised elements as well as by processes of modernisation. It is shown that these at first sight contradictory features are in fact most often converging. Thus, in Buryatia today, mixing styles can be identified as one of the main and most typical characteristics of sports, dance, and music.

AB  - Background: To identify factors determining the clinical characteristics and prognosis of acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) arising from boxing injuries by comparing with ASDH due to any non-boxing cause. Methods: Two groups were selected for this study: 10 patients with ASDH because of boxing injuries and 26 patients with nonboxer ASDH. All of the patients underwent neurologic examination by neurosurgeons. Primary resuscitation and stabilization as well as operative therapy were performed to all patients according to the European Brain Injury Consortium Guidelines. Two groups were compared in terms of age, the Glasgow Coma Scale at admission, neurologic findings, cranio-gram and brain computed tomography scan findings, operative findings, and prognosis. As potential prognostic indicators for boxers, the time interval until surgery, the Glasgow Outcome Scale, hematoma thickness, midline shift, and the site of bleeding were analyzed. Results: The characteristics of patients because of boxing injuries are that patients were younger, had lucid interval, and had no cerebral contusion or contralateral brain injury. There was no significant difference in initial Glasgow Coma Scale, hematoma thickness, midline shift, and their prognosis. The most peculiar clinical presentation of boxers' ASDH was that all bleedings were limited from "bridging veins" or "cortical veins." The prognosis of boxers was most closely correlated with the site of bleeding (r(2) = 0.81; p = 0.0001) and the midline shift (r(2) = 0.67; p = 0.007). Conclusions: Our study shows that ASDH because of boxing is characterized by bleeding from bridging or cortical veins, and that the site of bleeding is a significant determinant of their prognosis.

AB  - This article discusses the representation of female boxers in the North Korean media. Communists proclaim the liberation of women as one of their major political aims, and the media's portrayal of female pugilists appears to adhere to this political notion. No negative or sexualized description can be found in the North Korean media coverage of female boxing. However, a deeper analysis reveals that the media in this communist state ideologically underline a broader political structure based on state patriarchy. Moreover, the political use of female boxing is evident. In this regard, the priority seems to be given to nationalism over feminism. With respect to this, this article contends that while the North Korean media representation of female sport highlights active and skilful female athletes, such a portrayal must be seen within the limit of broader patriarchal politics. Thus, media coverage of female sport in 'actually existing communism' appears to differ considerably from the genuine sense of increasing the social status of women.

AB  - Objectives: Extensor hallucis longus (EHL) tendon injuries can occur in taekwondo athletes when performing hyperplantarflexed barefoot kicking exercises. A state of full excursion of the extensor tendon is used to strike opponents in which the metatarsal bone and the proximal phalanx area is in contact with the opponent. The purpose of this study is to examine the incidence of extensor hallucis longus tendon injury in taekwondo athletes. Design: Case-control study. Participants: 50 Athletes from the Korean taekwondo national team and a control group of 50 healthy subjects. Main outcome measures: History of sports participation, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and ultrasound imaging of the EHL. Results: Difference in the AOFAS scores were noted with the control group at 92.95 +/- 9.18, and the experimental group score at 88.45 +/- 10.93 (p < 0.01). Only one person (one tendon) from the control group demonstrated changes on sonography (2%), whilst 10 subjects from the taekwondo group displayed changes in 16 tendons (20%). EHL thickness of the experimental group (1.52 +/- 0.16 mm) was greater and the control group (1.46 +/- 0.11 mm) (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Taekwondo athletes have a higher incidence of changes on sonographic imaging of the EHL compared to non-taekwando participating healthy subjects. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

AB  - Background and Study Aim: Research into personality in psychology of sport has been done for a long time yet a lot of conclusions drawn from the research are contradictory. The aim of this study was to investigate the type and structure of personality in persons training wrestling and ju-jitsu. Material/Methods: Sixty seven persons representing combat sport (wrestling, ju-jitsu) took part in research. The type and structure of personality were measure by Questionnaire of Personality of Eysenck EPQ-R. Results: Among the investigated group of person, the B type of personality is dominant (56.25% ju-jitsu and 69% wrestling), which is based on sensible approach to life. More than half of the examined wrestlers (62.5%) are extroverts and (25%) are ambiverts, totally different in the midst of ju-jitsu contestants. Conclusions: Proper and regular combat sports training creates positive traits and types of personality and influences stability and emotional balance so necessary in sports competitions and a lot of life situations.

AB  - Objective: To introduce the case of a collegiate wrestler who suffered a traumatic unilateral hypoglossal nerve injury. This case presents the opportunity to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of a 20-year-old man with an injury to his right hypoglossal nerve. Background: Injuries to the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII) are rare. Most reported cases are the result of malignancy, with traumatic causes less common. In this case, a collegiate wrestler struck his head on the wrestling mat during practice. No loss of consciousness occurred. The wrestler initially demonstrated signs and symptoms of a mild concussion, with dizziness and a headache. These concussion symptoms cleared quickly, but the athlete complained of difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) and demonstrated slurred speech (dysarthria). Also, his tongue deviated toward the right. No other neurologic deficits were observed. Differential Diagnosis: Occipital-cervical junction fracture, syringomyelia, malignancy, iatrogenic causes, cranial nerve injury. Treatment: After initial injury recognition, the athletic trainer placed the patient in a cervical collar and transported him to the emergency department. The patient received prednisone, and the emergency medicine physician ordered cervical spine plain radiographs, brain computed tomography, and brain and internal auditory canal magnetic resonance imaging. The physician consulted a neurologist, who managed the patient conservatively, with rest and no contact activity. The neurologist allowed the patient to participate in wrestling 7 months after injury. Uniqueness: To our knowledge, no other reports of unilateral hypoglossal nerve injury from relatively low-energy trauma (including athletics) exist. Conclusions: Hypoglossal nerve injury should be considered in individuals with head injury who experience dysphagia and dysarthria. Athletes with head injuries require cranial nerve assessments.

AB  - Matsushigue, KA, Hartmann, K, and Franchini, E. Taekwondo: Physiological responses and match analysis. J Strength Cond Res 23(4): 1112-1117, 2009-The aim of the present study was to determine the time structure and physiological responses during Songahm Taekwondo (TKD) competition and to compare these variables between winner and non-winner athletes. Fourteen men subjects were analyzed. Blood lactate concentration (LA) and heart rate (HR) were determined before and after the match. The match was filmed for the determination of the number of techniques used, the duration of effort and rest periods (RPs), and the interval between high-intensity movements (HM). Post-match LA was 7.5 +/- 3.8 mmol.L(-1), HR was 183 +/- 9 b.min(-1), and HM was 31 +/- 16 seconds. The mean effort time (862 seconds) did not differ from mean interval time (8 +/- 3 seconds). Winners used a smaller total number of techniques, but post-match LA or HR did not differ from that of non-winners. In conclusion, the glycolytic metabolism was not the predominant energy source and the physiological responses did not differ between winners and non-winners. Coaches and sports scientists should prepare a technical or physical training session considering the low glycolytic contribution in this sport, hence the training protocol should involve high-intensity movements interspersed with longer RPs to provide the creatine phosphate recovery, with special attention given to the technical quality of TKD skills and not to higher technique volume during a simulation of matches.

AB  - This article describes the treatment of the two most debilitating hand-related boxing injuries: boxer's knuckle and traumatic carpal boss. Recognition of the normal anatomy as well as the predictable pathology facilitates an accurate diagnosis and precision surgery. For boxer's knuckle, direct repair of the disrupted extensor hood, without the need for tendon augmentation, has been consistently employed; for traumatic carpal boss, arthrodesis of the destabilized carpometacarpal joints has been the preferred method of treatment. Precisely executed operative treatment of both injuries has resulted in a favorable outcome, as in the vast majority of cases the boxers have experienced relief of pain, restoration of function, and an unrestricted return to competition.

AB  - Lumbar disc degeneration is frequently seen in athletes. Lumbar disc diseases include a spectrum of diseases and/or symptoms, including lumbar disc degeneration. Some reports suggest an association between lumbar disc diseases and a functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; 1184T/C, rs 2073711) of the cartilage intermediate layer protein (CILP) gene. We hypothesized that lumbar disc degeneration occurrence may be significantly associated with SNP variants at the CILP gene in Japanese collegiate judo athletes. Eighty-nine Japanese judo athletes participated in this study. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was used to define lumbar disc degeneration. Genotyping of the CILP gene (1184T/C) was performed using DNA sequencing. By using logistic regression analysis, significant associations of lumbar disc degeneration with the CILP C allele (odds ratio = 4.1, 95% confidence interval: 1.57-10.71) and body weight (odds ratio = 1.06, 95% confidence interval: 1.02-1.09) were observed. We conclude that the CILP gene 1184T/C polymorphism is a significant risk factor for lumbar disc degeneration occurrence in Japanese collegiate judo athletes.

AB  - I have begun by arguing that Muslim athletes in India, including the Muslim women boxers of the Khidderpore-Ekbalpore area of Kolkata, have clearly been trying to give emphasis to their national identity over their Muslim identity. This, I have argued, is a kind of negotiation that the young Indian Muslim, a woman or a man, is constantly trying to engage in since the rise of the BJP and the Hindu fundamentalists in 1992 in India. As women of the minority community, these girls are in danger of being victimized by forces both within Islam and outside. Boxing is a sport that empowers these young women against all possible odds. Finally I have argued that studies in gender and sport remain incomplete if we do not acknowledge the interrelations between gender and ethnic or religious communities and the state in which the particular subject resides.

AB  - Background: The spread of Trichophyton tonsurans (T. tonsurans) infection among wrestlers and judo fighters is an emerging problem in Croatia. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and modes of transmission of T. tonsurans in athletes involved among wrestlers and judo fighters in the Split-Dalmatia County. Patients and Methods: The data used were collected via a questionnaire, clinical inspection and samples taken for mycological analysis. This research included a total of 193 athletes involved in contact martial arts from eight different clubs. It was conducted between February 1(st), 2007 and February 1(st) 2008. Results: Infection caused by T.tonsurans was found in 19 (9.8%), while mycological culture confirmed the infection in 8 (4.2%) athletes. Of the 193 athletes, 62 (32.1) had a history of detmatophytic infection on glabrous skin. Susceptibility to infection increases with longer exposure: higher age (t-test: 2.9 p = 0.004), longer club membership (Mann Whitney test z = 4.7 p < 0.001) and years of competition (Man Whitney test: z= 4.7 p < 0.001). No healthy carriers of T. tonsurans were found (n = 51). T. tonsurans was found in 4 of the 80 (5.0) swabs taken from mats during trainings. T. tonsurans was not identifed in dry mat swabs (n = 160). Treatment of the entire team has not been conducted because it would not yield the result due to not avoiding competitions and training during treatment of infection. Conclusion: Occurence of the infection is endemo-epidemic.

AB  - The goal was to compare values of force, precision, and reaction time of several martial arts punches and palm strikes performed by advanced and intermediate Kung Fu practitioners, both men and women. 13 Kung Fu practitioners, 10 men and three women, participated. Only the men, three advanced and seven intermediate, were considered for comparisons between levels. Reaction time values were obtained using two high speed cameras that recorded each strike at 2500 Hz. Force of impact was measured by a load cell. For comparisons of groups, force data were normalized by participant's body mass and height. Precision of the strikes was determined by a high speed pressure sensor. The results show that palm strikes were stronger than punches. Women in the study presented, on average, lower values of reaction time and force but higher values of precision than men. Advanced participants presented higher forces than intermediate participants. Significant negative correlations between the values of force and precision and the values of force and reaction time were also found.

AB  - In martial arts and contact sports strikes are performed at near maximum speeds. For that reason, electromyography (EMG) analysis of such movements is non-trivial. This paper has three main goals: firstly, to investigate the differences in the EMG activity of muscles during strikes performed with and without impacts; secondly, to assess the advantages of using Sum of Significant Power (SSP) values instead of root mean square (rms) values when analyzing EMG data; and lastly to introduce a new method of calculating median frequency values using wavelet transforms (WMDF). EMG data of the deltoid anterior (DA), triceps brachii (TB) and brachioradialis (BR) muscles were collected from eight Kung Fu practitioners during strikes performed with and without impacts. SSP results indicated significant higher muscle activity (p = 0.023) for the strikes with impact. WMDF results, on the other hand, indicated significant lower values (p = 0.007) for the strikes with impact. SSP results presented higher sensitivity than rms to quantify important signal differences and, at the same time, presented lower inter-subject coefficient of variations. The result of increase in SSP values and decrease in WMDF may suggest better synchronization of motor units for the strikes with impact performed by the experienced Kung Fu practitioners.

AB  - Objective: Dementia in retired boxers, also referred to as "dementia pugilistica" (DP), is usually attributed to repeated concussive and subconcussive blows to the head. We report the case of a former world boxing champion whose progressive cognitive decline could be ascribed to DP, cerebral infarcts and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. This case demonstrates that dementia in retired boxers may be caused and/or exacerbated by etiologic factors other than DP. Materials and methods: We correlated the clinical features with the histochemical and immunohistochemical changes observed on autopsy brain material from a retired boxer, reviewed the literature on boxing-related dementia, and compared Our findings with previous reports oil DP. Results: Neuropathologic examination revealed numerous neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), rare neuritic plaques (NPs), multiple cerebral infarcts, fenestrated septum pellucidum, atrophic and gliotic mamillary bodies, and pale substantia nigra and locus ceruleus. Conclusions: Our neuropathologic data confirmed the notion that dementia in retired boxers Could be due to several factors Such as DP, Multiple cerebral infarcts and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Our findings illustrate the need to comprehensively examine former boxers with dementia as well as carefully evaluate the neuropathologic changes that may cause or contribute to the patient's cognitive and behavioral symptoms. Such an approach is crucial in order to provide prompt and more definitive therapies.

AB  - Background and Study Aim: Amateur sumo is one of rather few sports which can provide overweight and obese individuals with an opportunity to exercise their bodies, mold attitudes and learn a value system. The goal of this research was to identify health-oriented attitudes in sumo wrestlers depending on their age category. Material/Methods: Researched subjects were wrestlers of the following four sumo categories: cadets (n = 25), juniors (n = 18), pre- seniors (n = 11) and seniors (n = 18), who were put through a diagnostic survey, requested to fill in a questionnaire, and evaluated against the PRO-ZET attitude scale. For purposes of statistical inference an analysis of variance was used and results of the F test, the NIR test and Tukey's RIR test for unequal n's were given. Results: The above research techniques and statistical methods allowed successful identification of health-oriented attitudes in sumo wrestlers. The highest average rates of the General Attitude Indicator and of the formal components indicate that it is juniors that had their health-oriented attitudes developed to the fullest. This was confirmed by the fact that in juniors the content-related elements, such as health education and physical activity, were also better developed. In health control and treatment juniors' and pre- seniors' attitudes were comparable. Conclusions: Our research into the health-oriented attitudes in sumo wrestlers showed that the cognitive element of the attitude takes precedence over the behavioral one, hence an urgent need to properly mold health-oriented habits in young people in order to prepare them to perform a variety of social roles in different areas of adult life.

AB  - Using a goal-setting model (Burton, Naylor, & Holliday, 2001), the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a goal-setting intervention upon performance as a function of skill level. A multiple-baseline across-individuals single subject design was employed with 3 elite and 3 nonelite male boxers aged between 15-17 years (M = 16; SD = 1). Self-generated performance behaviors, competition outcome, competitive anxiety intensity and direction, and self-confidence were measured across a competitive season (10-fight period). Retention was also examined following treatment withdrawal (2-fight period). During and after the goal program was completed, the elite participants displayed consistent improvements in targeted behaviors, more facilitative interpretations of anxiety symptoms, and greater self-confidence, whereas the nonelite revealed inconsistent patterns. Postintervention, five out of the six boxers showed improvement in the percentage of fights won. The results highlight the diverse effects of goal-setting for different populations, with social validation data suggesting potential mechanism via the goal-setting model employed and changes to attentional focus.

AB  - Although chip-multiprocessors have become the industry standard, developing parallel applications that target them remains a daunting task. Non-determinism, inherent in threaded applications, causes significant challenges for parallel programmers by hindering their ability to create parallel applications with repeatable results. As a consequence, parallel applications are significantly harder to debug, test, and maintain than sequential programs. This paper introduces Kendo: a new software-only system that provides deterministic multithreading of parallel applications. Kendo enforces a deterministic interleaving of lock acquisitions and specially declared non-protected reads through a novel dynamically load-balanced deterministic scheduling algorithm. The algorithm tracks the progress of each thread using performance counters to construct a deterministic logical time that is used to compute an interleaving of shared data accesses that is both deterministic and provides good load balancing. Kendo can run on today's commodity hardware while incurring only a modest performance cost. Experimental results on the SPLASH-2 applications yield a geometric mean overhead of only 16% when running on 4 processors. This low overhead makes it possible to benefit from Kendo even after an application is deployed. Programmers can start using Kendo today to program parallel applications that are easier to develop, debug, and test.

AB  - The primary purpose of this research was to compare the impact characteristics of Taekwondo (TKD) and Yongmudo (YMD) player's turning kick according to the target height. 5 highly skilled YMD and 5 TKD players participated in this study. To measure the impact force, two accelerometers were fixed to a PVC pipe in a sandbag. Each participant performed 10 turning kicks trunk and face height in random order. Only the trial with the most accurate (most central impact) measurement was used in the statistical analysis (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference for impact force according to the target height approximately 6400 +/- 898 N, 6393 +/- 1382 N for the mid section and 5419 +/- 659 N, 5475 +/- 1293 N for the high section of TKD and YMD groups, but not between groups. The swing phase for the TKD group was significantly shorter than the YMD group's. The TKD groups' recovery phase of the trunk height turning kick was significantly shorter. There was a difference in the players' center of mass (COM) movement as the TKD players' moved significantly more forward, suggesting that the TKD players tended to slide towards the target during the execution of the kick. In conclusion, as the turning kick was performed quicker by the TKD players with a similar impact force and more forward motion, it is evaluated to be a better technique of turning kicking.

AB  - The most common injuries reported in the literature regarding the sport of boxing are to the brain, eyes, kidneys and hands. Shoulder injuries have not been fully reported in the literature until recently, as a result we aimed to present our arthroscopic findings in amateur boxers. Ten amateur boxers with complaints of pain in the shoulder region and decreased performance during sportsplay were enrolled. They were evaluated by physical examination, radiology and arthroscopy. There were no clinical findings of instability. One patient was found to have subacromial impingement; six had crepitation at various degrees during shoulder movements. At arthroscopy, all patients had a variety of pathological findings. Five patients had Grade 1, three had Grade 2, and two had Grade 3 chondropathy. Various degrees of fraying of the anterosuperior and posterosuperior regions of the glenoid labrum were noted in all cases. Three patients had superior labrum anterior and posterior lesions, one patient had a posterior labroligamentous lesion, and one had chondral erosion in the anterosuperior portion of the humeral head. In conclusions, although the injury mechanism of the shoulder during boxing is unknown, this study shows that shoulder complaints in boxers should be considered as possible indicators of serious intra-articular lesions.

AB  - Individual variations of plasma levels of hormones testosterone (T) and cortisol (C), before (pre) and after (post) Kumite (real fight) and Kata (ritualized fight) were measured in male karate athletes and analyzed in relation with the agonistic outcome (i.e. winning or losing the fight) and personality trait measures. T and C increased only during Kumite contest and pre- and post-competition C levels were higher in losers than winners. Losers showed higher levels of harm avoidance and anxiety as well as lower level of novelty seeking than winners. Importantly, novelty seeking negatively correlates with pre C and the higher the level of risk assessment, emotionality and insecurity indexes the higher the pre C level. In conclusion, personality traits might be an important factor asymmetry between athletes influencing both the probability of winning or losing an agonistic interaction and the different anticipatory endocrine response to the incipient fight.

AB  - The relation of leg preference and muscular strength in elite fencers was examined. The dominant and nondominant extensor and flexor muscles of 30 elite fencers (M age = 18.2 yr., SD = 2.0 yr.; M height = 173 cm, SD = 7.4 cm; M weight = 62.7 kg, SD = 8.9 kg), who were members of the Greek national team, and 14 healthy, young, sedentary adults (8 men, 6 women; M age 23.4 yr., SD = 1.9; M height = 169 cm, SD = 10.5 cm; M weight = 66.3 kg, SD = 9.9) were tested for concentric isokinetic contraction at slow (30 to 60 degrees/sec.) and fast (240 degrees/sec.) angular velocities. Significant multivariate differences were found between groups for knee extension, angle of knee extension, knee flexion, and flexor/extensor peak torque ratio. In contrast, no significant difference was found between the dominant and nondominant legs. There was no significant difference in the flexor/extensor peak torque ratio among any of the concentric angular velocities tested. These findings suggest that long-term training in fencing influences the strength characteristics of the lower limbs.

AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of adding a high-intensity intermittent session twice a week during a 7-week karate training (KT) on markers of aerobic and anaerobic metabolisms in elite class karate athletes. Two groups were studied: a KT group (n=8, age 20.1 +/- 0.9 years, 70.0 +/- 8.8 kg) that followed traditional KT, and a group that followed combined traditional karate and a high-intensity intermittent training (HIT group, n=9, age 24.4 +/- 3.1 years, 67.0 +/- 7.8 kg). The subjects undertook a supramaximal exercise and a maximal oxygen uptake test before and after the training. Blood lactate, pH and plasma ammonia were determined at rest, immediately at the end of the supramaximal exercise and during the recovery period at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 15 min. After the training period, no changes occurred in the KT group. However, in the HIT group, the time to exhaustion, MAOD and V(over dot) O(2max) in the maximal oxygen uptake test were significantly improved by 23.6%, 10.3% and 4.6%, respectively. A clear-cut discrepancy was observed in the time course of lactate and pH in the supramaximal test after the training in the HIT group. We observed a significantly higher peak for lactate and a lower extreme value for pH with a shorter delay of appearance. At the end of the test, the lactate concentration increased significantly (+53.7%) and pH declined significantly, when compared with the values obtained after the same test before the training period. Ammonia was not influenced. The addition of high-intensity intermittent sessions twice per week during the period of KT induced beneficial physiological adaptations in athletes, allowing improvement in the duration of intense physical exercise before a state of fatigue is reached.

AB  - The aim of this study was to verify the relationship of strength and power with performance on an international level karate team during official kumite simulations. Fourteen male black belt karate athletes were submitted to anthropometric data collection and then performed the following tests on two different days: vertical jump test, bench press and squat maximum dynamic strength (1RM) tests. We also tested power production for both exercises at 30 and 60% 1RM and performed a kumite match simulation. Blood samples were obtained at rest and immediately after the kumite matches to measure blood lactate concentration. Karate players were separated by performance (winners vs. defeated) on the kumite matches. We found no significant differences between winners and defeated for strength, vertical jump height, anthropometric data and blood lactate concentration. Interestingly, winners were more powerful in the bench press and squat exercises at 30% 1RM. Maximum strength was correlated with absolute (30% 1RM r = 0.92; 60% 1RM r = 0.63) and relative power (30% 1RM r = 0.74; 60% 1RM r = 0.11, p > 0.05) for the bench press exercise. We concluded that international level karate players' kumite match performance are influenced by higher levels of upper and lower limbs power production.

AB  - Background and Study Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations of selected indices of coordination motor abilities (CMA) and technical skills of Greco-Roman wrestlers. Material/Methods: Twenty-one wrestlers of the Greco-Roman style representing the student sports club UKS "Dwojka" took part in the research. The age of the examined was 14-15, and their sports experience was between 2.5 and 4 years long. The correlations between 12 indices (describing 7 CMA) and 10 technical elements of wrestling used in a horizontal and vertical posture were analysed. Technical skills were evaluated by five highly qualified wrestling coaches. Results: It was confirmed that there occurred significant correlations between technical skills and most CMA examined in wrestlers. In 55.8% of the cases correlation coefficients of the examined relations were higher than 0.50, which indicates a strong connection. The strongest correlations were observed between elements of wrestling technique and kinesthetic differentiation, movement combining, motor adjustment, dynamic balance and partly time-space orientation. In turn, the largest amounts of significant correlations with CMA were noticed in the following technical elements: curve trunk grip throw with an arm, curve back trunk grip throw as well as arm grip back throw. Technical elements performed in a vertical posture revealed stronger correlations with CMA than those done in a horizontal posture. Conclusions: Strong correlations between technical skills and kinesthetic differentiation, movement combining, motor adjustment, dynamic balance and time-space orientation prove that these CMA are extremely important in a training process of beginning wrestlers. Therefore, we should pay attention to their development particularly at the earliest stages of training.

AB  - The aim of the study is to examine the effect of ankle taping on ankle plantarflexion (PF) and dorsiflexion (DF) isokinetic strength and vertical jump height in elite taekwondo athletes. Seven women and 9 men taekwondo athletes forming the Turkish National Taekwondo Team participated in this study. A closed basket weave taping technique was applied to the dominant and non-dominant ankle. Tests were performed both in un-taped and taped conditions. Peak torques values at 60 and 180 degrees/s were nonsignificantly lower in the taped condition (p > 0.05). Ankle taping resulted also is a significant reduction in jump height (p < 0.05). The findings of this study suggest that ankle taping affect detrimentally performance in this group of taekwondo athletes.

AB  - A case report and a biomechanical study using a finite element method. To report a case with the cervical spondylolysis and to understand the biomechanics of the cervical spine with spondylolysis at C6. Cervical spondylolysis, although not a common spinal disorder, can occur in athletes. Presently, the exact pathology, natural history and biomechanics are not known. Thus, treatment strategies for this disorder in athletes are in controversy. To treat and/or advise patients with cervical spondylolysis, the cervical spine biomechanics regarding this disorder should be understood. A case of a 12-year-old male judo player is presented. The patient presented with occipital and upper neck pain. Plain radiographs, reconstructed CT scan and MRIs of this patient were reviewed. Biomechanically, stress distributions were analyzed in response to 73.6 N axial compression and 1.5-Nm moment in flexion, extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation using a FE model of the intact ligamentous C3 to C7 segment. Bilateral spondylolysis was created in the model at C6. The stress results from the bilateral defect model were compared to the intact model predictions. Plain radiographs showed bilateral C6 spondylolysis, and grade I spondylolisthesis. MRI showed mild disc degeneration at C6/7. With conservative treatment, the symptoms disappeared. In the spondylolysis model, the maximum Von Mises Stresses at C6/7 increased in all cervical spine motions, as compared to the intact case. Specifically, in axial rotation, the stress increase was 3.7-fold as compared to the intact model. The range of motion at C6/7 increased in the spondylolysis model as well. Again, during axial rotation, the increase in motion was 2.3-fold when compared to the intact model. Cervical spondylolysis can cause biomechanical alterations, especially in axial rotation, leading to increased disc stresses and range of motion. The increased stresses in the disc and the hypermobility would be a dangerous condition for athletes participating in contact sports such as judo. Thus, we recommended that judo players with cervical spondylolysis should change to non-contact sports, such as jogging.

AB  - The aim was to determine both the magnitude and the direction of the relations among certain motor abilities and performance in judo bouts performed in a standing position. Therefore, a sample of 122 of Zagreb's Faculty of Kinesiology sophomores was tested. A battery of 15 motor tests was used and these were the predictor variables. The sample of criterion variables consisted of two performance indicators: the number of victories and technical efficacy points. The investigation was aimed at verifying the hypothesis that performance and final success (victory) in judo standing position bouts strongly depends on the motor features of the contestants involved. Regression and factor analyses were used. The obtained results indicate that there is a relationship between the latent motor variables and both criteria evaluating performance in standing position bouts - the number of victories and technical efficacy points.

AB  - Reports of injuries caused by kickboxing, one of the contact sports that potentially causes a large number of injuries, are relatively rare. Wearing a mouthguard is obligatory in kickboxing, but the association between maxillofacial injuries and the quality of mouthguards has not been described thus far. In this article, we present a case of mandibular fracture in a 25-year-old male, who was injured during kickboxing despite wearing a mouth formed mouthguard.

AB  - Background: Many wrestlers engage in chronic dieting and rapid "weight cutting" throughout the year to compete in a category below their natural weight. Such weight-management practices have I negative influence on their health and nutritional status, so the National Wrestling Coaches Association implemented I new weight-management program for high school wrestlers in 2006. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether seasonal changes in weight, body fat, and eating attitudes occur among high school wrestlers after the implementation of the new weight-management rule. Methods: Fifteen high school wrestlers participated in the study. Then weight, body composition, and eating attitudes were measured preseason, in-season, and off-season. Body fat was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Attitudes toward dieting, food, and body weight were assessed using the Eating Attitude Test (EAT). Results: No significant changes in body fat were detected from preseason to off-season. Weight increased from preseason to in-season (p < .05) and off-season (p < .05). Although the EAT score did not change significantly from preseason to off-season, 60% reported "thinking about burning LIP calories when exercising" during preseason, and only 40% felt that way during the season (p < .05) and 47% during off-season (p < .05). Conclusions: The wrestlers experienced a significant weight gain from preseason to off-season with no significant changes in body fat. Their eating attitudes did not change significantly from preseason to off-season in this study, but further research using a large sample of high school wrestlers is warranted to confirm these findings.

AB  - Despite the inherent risks associated with exercise in general and boxing in particular, the sport has had a limited number of catastrophic cardiovascular events. Screening should be based on risks involved and become more extensive with the advancement of the athlete. Anatomic and electrophysiologic risks need to be assessed and may preclude participation with resultant life style and economic complications. There should be adequate preparation for the rare potential cardiovascular complication at all events, with the ability to rapidly assess and treat arrhythmias.

AB  - Wrestling is a male-dominated sport in terms of participation, commonly perceived as a masculine sport due to the requirement of muscular strength, courage, fighting spirit, as well as and the element of combat. Integral to achieving wrestling skills and physical capability is muscularity, something which may contradict common perceptions of feminine body appearance. The objective of this study is to examine female elite wrestlers' enactment of the wrestler's role and how they experienced enhancement of skills and bodily structure. This was done by means of a qualitative interview of eight Norwegian elite wrestlers comprising four females and four males in the age group 17 to 32 years. Since the wrestlers practice in a mixed gender setting the males were included as being part of the interaction. The study revealed different ways in which the female wrestlers were doing femininity which also seemed to be contextually bound. This was particularly related to strength training and overall performance as wrestlers. The seniors had apparently accepted strenuous strength training and big muscles, whereas the juniors were 'holding back' giving priority to the 'private body'. The seniors had accepted the 'athletic body' and muscularity with its social costs.

AB  - Background and Study Aim: We attempted to determine whether measurement of heart rate on rising can be used as a simple method for assessing physical and mental conditioning. Material/Methods: The subjects for this study were 11 male Japanese college Judo players (age: 20.5 +/- 1.4 years) who visited the United States to compete. The investigation period was 8 days. Each subject was asked to record heart rate and sleep length, evaluate his physical and mental conditions, and complete a POMS questionnaire every morning on rising. The days with the highest and lowest heart rates were extracted from the recorded data for each subject, and the sleep length, physical and mental conditions, and POMS scores on those days were compared. Results: Correlation coefficients between heart rate and each of the factors exhibiting significant differences were calculated. Negative correlations were found for sleep length (r = -0.678, p < 0.001), physical condition (r = -0.657, p < 0.001) and mental condition (r = -0.577, p = 0.004) while positive correlations were found for POMS scales of Fatigue (r = 0.468, p = 0.026) and Confusion (r = 0.506, p = 0.015). Conclusions: Although psychological condition tends to be considered less serious than physical condition, poor psychological conditioning can cause such problems as lack of sleep, which can lead to an imbalance of the autonomic nervous system and eventually to impairment of physical condition. It may also be possible to develop players' interest in and habit of managing their condition on their own by promoting them to undertake such activities as measuring their heart rate.

AB  - This article explores the carnal dimensions of existence through ethnographic research in a mixed martial arts club. Mixed martial arts (MMA) is an emergent sport where competitors in a ring or cage utilize strikes (punches, kicks, elbows and knees) as well as submission techniques to defeat opponents. Through data gathered from in-depth interviews with MMA practitioners and participant observation in an MMA club, I elucidate the social processes that are integral to the production of an MMA fighter habitus. I examine how body techniques are learned and become attached to the identity of mixed martial arts fighters. Using Crossley's concept of reflexive body techniques, I examine how MMA fighters engage in body callusing through use of reflexive body techniques thereby allowing them to withstand the rigors of the sport.

AB  - Background and Study Aim: The aim of this study was: determining the term of "weapon feeling", establishing the dependence between "weapon feeling" and precision of weapon movements, identifying the impact of the physical properties of the weapon on the level of "weapon feeling", defining the training period in which the best "weapon feeling" may occur. Material/Methods: 71 top Polish male and female athletes specialising in various forms of fencing took part in the study (9 female foil, 15 female epee, 19 male foil, 18 male epee and 10 sabre fencers). A questionnaire was composed of 26 questions related to personal data of the competitors as well as to the definition of the more efficient and precise hand or leg and to the definition of the structure of the conditions determining the "feeling of the weapon". Results: It was ascertained that the "weapon feeling" is an ability of accurate handling of the tip of the blade, and of controlling its movement. It was confirmed that "weapon feeling" is primarily manifested in the ability of mastering the tip of the blade. It was also defined that "weapon feeling" was manifested in different ways, depending on the interpretation of the term by the given fencer. In most cases it was reflected in accurate handling of the tip of the weapon, quick and accurate response. Apart from the precision of movements with the weapon, its level of feeling is affected also by: the ability to concentrate, high level of technique, smoothness and rapidity of movements of the competitor as well as physical traits of the weapon. In the training cycle, starting period is characterised by the highest level of "weapon feeling". Conclusions: 1. "Weapon feeling" may be defined as the ability of accurate directing the end of the weapon, quick and adequate responding to the opponent's movements, and smooth execution of movements with the weapon. 2. There is significant dependence between "weapon feeling" and precision of movements made with the weapon. Its level of feeling depends on: ability to concentrate, high technique level, smoothness and speed of the athlete's movements. 3. Physical properties of the weapon, especially its modification affect to a large extent the change in the level of "weapon feeling". 4. The highest level of "weapon feeling" in tested fencers was noted in the starting period, and the lowest one - in the preparatory and in the transitory periods.

AB  - Background and Study Aim: Evaluation of sport skills test can be very useful tool for coach practice. The aim of the present paper was: (a) to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of the Specific Physical Fitness Tests (SPFT) (b) to review the results of karate athletes who represent different weight categories, and who are at different stages of schooling; (c) to establish grading criteria of physical fitness preparation. Material/Methods: The reseach was conducted among 219 Kyokushin karate players, whose profiles were presented as (chi) over bar +/- SD and their main characteristics were the following: age 26.8 +/- 4.67 (19-39) years, body mass 75.2 +/- 8.35 (50-97) kg and body height 176.4 +/- 5.67 (160-196) cm. The value of the BMI amounted to 24.1 +/- 2.17 (17.9-29.4) kg/m(2). All the subjects of the research had training experience of 10.5 +/- 3.71 (4-20) years and their degree of proficiency ranged from 4(th) kyu to 3(rd) dan. The physical fitness trials proposed by Story (1989) included: hip turning speed, speed punches, flexibility, rapid kicks, agility, and evasion actions. It was supplemented by a test of local strength endurance, composing a battery of the SPFT, which was implemented by first of the authors between 1991 and 2006. Results: SPFT is characterized by high reliability and it can be used to diagnose the physical fitness preparation and monitor the individual results of training. It discriminates accurately competitors with different sports level and it is characterized by very high accuracy, it is correlated with the test results of motor general physical fitness abilities and coordination abilities as well as it is connected with the somatic build of the athlete. The performance classification table was developed on the basis of our research. Discussion: Results obtained in SPFT were shortly discussed. Conclusions: The collected results of our research allowed us to come to, the conclusion: The table can be applied not only to assess karate fighters, but also adepts in taekwondo, kick-boxing, ju-jitsu, hapkido or other mixed martial arts.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to determine body composition and somatotype of the male fencers who were grouped by different fencing weapons. Analysis of body composition, with untrained men as background, will update the data necessary for the somatic profiles of fencers. Thirty contestants were examined during the Polish Fencing Championships in 2004. They took part in epee (n = 10), foil (n = 10) and sabre (n = 10). They were aged 23.3 +/- 2.9; their length of training was 12.6+/-2.5 years, with the frequency of training 15.9+/-3.1 hours per week. In each weapon style there were champions and vice-champions of Poland from the year 2004. Twelve of them were classified among the first fifty contestants according to the D'Escrime International Federation (FIE) ranking. An experienced evaluator performed 10 measurements necessary to designate somatotypes by means of Heath-Carter method and to estimate the percentage of body fat and composition. Sabre fencers (weight = 84.4 kg, somatotype = 3.4-5.4-1.8) were heavier than both epee fencers (77.9 kg, 3.6-4.9-2.5) and foil fencers (74.9 kg, 2.9-4.2-2.8). Sabre specialists had higher mesomorphy than foil fencers (ANOVA and Bonferroni's multi comparison test). Sabre fencers were characterized by higher fat free mass and a higher BMI and fat free mass index than fencers of the other two weapons. Discriminant analysis result was significant (p<0.01) with a relative percentage with a 72.4 and a canonical correlation coefficient 0.692, and Wilks' lambda = 0.385. Amongst the 30 observations used to fit the model, 22 (73.3%) were correctly classified. Against the background of non-training men, fencers were distinguished by a higher body weight (79.0 vs. 72.1 kg, t = 3.97, p < 0.001) and a higher height-weight ratio (43.21 vs. 42.46, t = 2.24, p < 0.05). Fencers' somatotypes differed from the somatotypes of the untrained (3.3-4.8-2.3 vs. 3.7-4.3-3.1). They were characterized by their higher mesomorphy (t = 2.10, p < 0.05) and lower ectomorphy (t = 3.48, p<0.01), as well as greater adiposity (16.8 us. 15.7%, t = 2.03, p < 0.05).

AB  - Aim. The main aim was to study physiological adaptations to a 8 week precompetitive training period performed by elite female judo athletes. Methods. Eleven female judokas (19.9 +/- 3.9 years, 60.5 +/- 8.8 kg, 164 +/- 7.8 cm) participated in the study. Maximal strength (seated row, bench-press, squat), anaerobic fitness and maximal aerobic power were measured before and after training period. The training period consisted of 8-week of sport-specific exercise. It was devided in two 4-week periods, with 3:1 periodization model (3 weeks of gradual load increase, followed by one week of reduced load), aimed to improve general physical fitness and sport specific condition, respectively. Results. Significant improvements were observed in strength and anaerobic fitness parameters (P<0.05), with the degree of change between 8.8% and 28.1% for seated row and mean anaerobic power, respectively. Conclusion. These results suggest that precompetitive training period can affect anaerobic energy system. In addition, greater emphasis on aerobic conditioning may be required.

AB  - Objectives: In assessments of body image among athletes, there remains an important discrepancy between studies reporting, on one hand, increased body dissatisfaction among athletes and, on the other, lower body image concerns. in order to help resolve this contradiction, the present study examined body size ideals, body dissatisfaction, and media influence among female recreational athletes and non-athletes. Method: Forty-one track athletes (a judged sport in which leanness is actively promoted), 47 women involved in Taek Won Do (a martial art with little or no emphasis on leanness), and 44 non-athletes completed self-report measures of ideal body size, body dissatisfaction, and media influence, and provided their demographic details. Results: Results showed that, after controlling for participants' body mass index (BMI) there were no, significant between-group differences in ideal body size. By contrast, track athletes reported the highest body dissatisfaction scores and the highest internalisation of athletic media messages. Results of a regression analysis showed that, for the total sample, participants' BMI and internalisation of athletic media messages predicted body dissatisfaction over-and-above involvement in the different sports. Conclusion: These results support the suggestion that women participating in leanness-promoting sports experience greater body dissatisfaction than women in other Sports or non-athletes.

AB  - This study examines the effects of 6-day intensive training on lymphocyte counts and their expression of CD95. Eight healthy Kendo athletes underwent 6-day Kendo training of about 310 min each day. Blood samples were collected at 2 weeks before (PRE), the first day (Day 1), third day (Day 3), fifth day (Day 5), and 1 week after the training period (POST) to determine lymphocyte counts and CD95 expression on CD95 lymphocytes (CD4(+), CD8(+)) using flow cytometry. The total lymphocyte counts were significantly lower at Day 3 than at PRE. The CD8(+) cell counts were significantly lower at Day 3 than at PRE. The percentage of CD95(+) lymphocytes was significantly higher at Day 1 and Day 3 than at PRE. The percentage of CD8(+)CD95(+) cells did not change significantly. The total lymphocyte counts decreased and a concomitant increase of CD95(+) lymphocyte was observed, whereas the decrease in CD8(+) cell counts was not associated with the increase in CD8(+)CD95(+) cells. Therefore, short-term high-intensity exercise induced a decrease in the T lymphocyte counts without increasing in CD95(+) expression.

AB  - Background and Study Aim: Aerobic capacity is a general parameter of all metabolic processes in the body, representing the overall work capacity of an athlete. In order to evaluate their aerobic capacity, we studied some of the functional abilities of male judokas and compared them with 1(st) and 4(th) year students of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education. Material/Methods: The investigation included 60 participants in total (20 judokas, 20 1(st) year-students, and 20 4(th) year-students as controls). An assessment of the subjects' aerobic capacity was performed on COSMED treadmill (T 170), and data collected by COSMED gas analyser (CPET; breath-by-breath method). A maximal multi-workload protocol was used on the treadmill, with direct measurements of maximal oxygen consumption (VO(2max)), ventilation (VE), and heart rate (HR) taken during the protocol. Results: Judokas had the highest mean VO(2max) (52.6 ml/kg/min), followed by 1(st) year-students (49.2 ml/kg/min), and finally 4(th) year-students (45.8 ml/kg/min). Conclusions: The outcome of this experiment demonstrates that trained judokas have higher VO(2max) compared to undergraduate students which is likely a result of training. Relatively low results of 4(th) year students indicate the need for the improvement of the aerobic potential, as well as their relatively bed physical conditioning.

AB  - Twenty overweight/obese adolescents underwent six months of Kung Fu or placebo (Tai Chi) training, 3x.wk(-1). Outcomes included fasting insulin and insulin resistance, lipids, glucose and HbA(1c), and C-reactive protein (CRY). CRY decreased significantly (p = 0.03) in both groups over time at six months. Although insulin sensitivity did not change, HbA(1c) tended to decrease over time (p = 0.09), again with no group difference (p = 0.60). Reduced CRP was related to increased upper body strength (p = 0.01). Increased lean body mass was related to reductions in HbA(1c), insulin resistance, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. Improvements in lean body mass appear to have a potential role in favorable metabolic outcomes, independent of changes in fat mass. Further research in this area is warranted before definite conclusions can be drawn about the efficacy of martial arts training for metabolic outcomes in this cohort.

AB  - The purpose of the study was to investigate if Chinese martial arts (Kung Fu, KF) might be effective for improving body composition, as well as being an appealing form of physical activity for inexperienced, sedentary, overweight/obese adolescents. Twenty subjects (age: 13.3+/-1.8 y; BMI percentile: 98.6(86.5 - 99.8); 60% girls) were randomly-assigned to the supervised KF or placebo (Tai Chi, TC) control group 3 d.wk(-1) for 6 months. We assessed body composition, including total and regional fat and lean mass, total and regional bone mineral density (BMD), percent lean and fat mass, body mass index and waist circumference, at baseline and after 6 months of training using anthropometry and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Habitual physical activity and dietary intake were recorded as covariates via self-report at each time-point. As expected due to natural growth, significant increases in height, weight, total and lumbar BMD, and lean mass were seen in the cohort over time, with a trend for increased whole body fat mass, with no difference between groups. By contrast, percent fat and android fat mass via DXA did not increase in either group over time. The absence of a similar expected increase in central adiposity over 6 months could indicate a positive effect of participation in both programs on the metabolically critical abdominal adiposity in this cohort. Further research in this area is warranted to determine ways to increase uptake and compliance, and to see if longer-term martial arts training not only maintains, but improves abdominal fat mass and related metabolic health indices in overweight/obese adolescents.

AB  - Muay Thai was developed in Thailand and is a combat sport in which contestants can kick, punch, knee, elbow, and grapple with their opponents. Like most martial arts, Muay Thai athletes tend to play themselves fit, often because this has long been the traditional approach but also because of the many myths that surround gym-based training exercises. This paper therefore aims to justify the inclusion of strength and conditioning within Muay Thai as an intervention to further enhance athletic performance. In addition, an evidence-based program is suggested.

AB  - Background: Little has been written about the operative repair of recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder in a single sport: in this case, Judo. Purpose: The clinical efficacy of the Neer modified inferior capsular shift as an open procedure for injured judokas was investigated. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Fifty athletes (42 male and 8 female, 52 shoulders) took part in this study. The average age at surgery was 20 years (range, 14-38 years), and the mean follow-up period was 61 months (range, 24-172 months). The operation was performed on 29 tsurite (a lapel grip) shoulders and on 23 hikite (a sleeve grip) shoulders. The 2 grips are functionally and technically different from each other. Results: Three cases of shoulder instability (5.8%) recurred after surgery. The average loss of external rotation was 9.6 degrees with the arm at the side and 11.6 degrees with the arm in 90 of abduction. The average Rowe and UCLA scores were 37.3 and 20.8 points preoperatively and 86.7 and 32.4 points at the final follow-up, respectively (P < .05). The return rate to the near-preinjury sports activity levels (>90% recovery: grades 1 and 2) was significantly lower in the tsurite shoulders (48.1%) than in the hikite shoulders (85.7%). Conclusion: The overall recovery of more than 90% of preinjury activity levels in judo was 65% after modified inferior capsular shift for traumatic anterior instability of the shoulder. The tsurite shoulder should be treated with minimal restriction limitation in external rotation so that it is not limited postoperatively.

AB  - Valiente, JS, Utter, AC, Quindry, JC, and Nieman, DC. Effects of commercially formulated water on the hydration status of dehydrated collegiate wrestlers. J Strength Cond Res 23(8): 2210-2216, 2009-The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of three different drinks (commercially formulated water, bottled water, and a carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage) on blood and urinary markers of hydration after acute dehydration in collegiate wrestlers. Twenty-one athletes were recruited to perform a randomized, crossover study comparing the effectiveness of commercially formulated water, carbohydrate-electrolyte (6% or 60 g.L(-1)), or regular bottled water (placebo) in promoting rehydration after a 3% reduction in body mass. Urine specific gravity (U(sg)), urine osmolarity (U(osm)), plasma osmolarity (P(osm)), and plasma volume were measured pre- and post-dehydration and at 1 hour after rehydration. Statistical analyses used a 3 (conditions) 3 3 (times) repeated measures analysis of variance. Significant (p < 0.01) interactions were found for P(osm), U(osm), and U(sg). P(osm) returned to baseline levels and U(osm) remained in a lower balance after 1 hour of rehydration in the trials of the commercially formulated water and regular bottled water. No significant interactions were found for plasma volume shift. The findings of this study demonstrate that the commercially formulated water was no more effective in promoting rehydration than either a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution or plain water in collegiate wrestlers after a 3% reduction in body mass and a rehydration period of 1 hour when consuming 100% of their body weight loss.

AB  - Background: All activities performed by a human being depend on physical phenomena. A human body is a biomechanism which is affected by different forces. The body as well as its parts can move with various velocities and can obtain different energies. That is why practicing martial arts, punches, kicks, jumps or doing other exercises to achieve strength follow the same rules. Material/Metods: The aim of the research was to analyse a simple punch forward (in the Taekwon-do terminology: Ap Joomuk Jirugi). Research on kinematics and kinetics of some chosen movements in Taekwon-do ITF was made with the BTS Smart Morion Capture system used for three dimensional movement analysis. A 17-year-old competitor measuring 175 cm and weighing 70 kg was analysed in the laboratory of Motoric Diagnostics in the Academy of Physical Education of Katowice. Results: Up to 20% of the cycle the fist speed is a little higher than 0. Between 20-50% have negative speed. After going beyond 50%, the speed is rapidly rising to reach the maximum power of 86%. The maximum speed 6.184 +/- 0.534 m/s. Afterwards rapid decrease in speed is observed. Conclusions: Minimal theoretical time of a person's reaction to an attack is about 0.2 sec and practically it is 0.4 sec. The time for the punch to reach its goal is 0.1 sec. This fact can suggest that it is not possible to defend against a punch. On the other hand we know that people can defend themselves against an attack. Apparently it appears that it is not worth doing anything because we have no chances, but it is an argument to practice martial arts and self-defence. The trainings give a person faith in his or her own strength, they teach how to recognize the opponent's abilities, how to stand to decrease the body part susceptible to attack and how to make the distance longer (which also increases the time of a potential attack). They also teach how to concentrate the attention and energy as well as how to predict the opponent's movement and how to surprise him or her.

AB  - Pencak Silat is a martial art, performance practice and system of body cultivation prevalent throughout much of Indonesia and the Malay-speaking world. This article compares different modalities of the practice and pedagogy of Sundanese Pencak Silat in West Java with more recent attempts to standardize practice at a national level under the auspices of the Indonesian Pencak Silat Association (Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia). Drawing on David Sudnow's seminal account of learning how to play jazz piano, it is suggested that learning how to improvise is a highly structured process that proceeds from the mastery of certain generic principles from which are generated potentially unbounded repertoires of habitual response. In the institutionalized instruction that is propagated by IPSI generative potential is subjugated to the desire to achieve homogeneity in practice. Aspects of Pencak Silat as it is taught nationally under the auspices of IPSI are examined in relation to the notion of spectacle. In conclusion, it is argued that the limits of the Nationalist project become self-evident as the dynamic potential of the body in Sundanese Pencak Silat is subsumed in an attempt to achieve fixity of the symbolic order.

AB  - Objective: To determine injury rates and risk factors for injury in a cohort of professional boxers. Design: Retrospective cohort design reporting on data collected for a fight statistics database maintained by the Professional Boxing and Combat Sports Board of Victoria, Australia. Data were extracted for the years January 1997 through June 2005. Setting: Victoria, Australia. Participants: 545 professional boxers (age, 18 to 43 years) who participated in a total of 907 fights over the study period. Assessment of Risk Factors: Independent variables under investigation included age, gender, weight, bout exposure, and location of the bout (within or outside of the State of Victoria). Main Outcome Measures: Physician-reported acute boxing injuries occurring during bouts of any region or nature. Results: 214 injuries were sustained over the 8.5 years, corresponding to an injury rate of 23.6 per 100 professional fights. The majority of these injuries were lacerations to the head and face. An increasing age and an increasing number of fights were both significant predictors of injury. Conclusions: Injury reduction strategies for professional boxing might include restrictions of eligibility to fight based on age and boxing bout exposure. Future research using prospective cohort designs and standardized injury definitions are needed to confirm these results. Greater mechanistic detail and more complete data entry are necessary to ensure that optimal injury prevention strategies can be developed and implemented. Upon confirmation of the results of this study, the Professional Boxing and Combat Sports Board of Victoria may consider different criteria upon which to sanction a fight.

AB  - Primary objective: We assess the potential of a panel of serum biomarkers to identify chronic neuronal injury in amateur boxers as compared to healthy controls without any history of head trauma. Research design: Observational case-control study. Methods and procedures: A panel of serum biomarkers was measured by a novel biochip array technique on the Evidence Investigator. Serum samples were taken after a 2-month period of nonparticipation in boxing. Main outcomes and results: Boxers had higher serum levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE, median [range] 11 [2.3-41] ng/mL) than controls (4.8 [0.78-27] ng/mL, p = 0.014) but unchanged levels of the other brain damage biomarker candidates, S-100B, brain-derived neurotrophic factor and heart-type fatty acid binding protein. Conclusions: The more than doubled median serum level of NSE in boxers after an extended resting period suggests that repetitive head trauma results in sustained release of this brain-specific protein to the peripheral circulation.

TY  - JOUR
AB  - The purpose of this study was to cross-validate the fat-free weight (FFW) equations derived on nonathletic children and adolescents for estimating mean power (MP) and peak power (PP) in high school wrestlers. One hundred and three male high school wrestlers performed the Wingate Anaerobic Test to estimate MP and PP, as well as underwater weighing to determine FFW. The follow equations were used to estimate the MP and PP of the wrestlers in the current study. MP (W) = 9.3 (FFW) - 109.8 EQ.1 PP (W) = 14.1 (FFW) - 162.1 EQ.2 The results in the current study indicated that as percent of the mean values, the equation that predicted MP resulted in a substantially greater total error (TE; 19.9% of the mean) than the equation that predicted PP (8.3% of the mean). These findings indicated that the equation that was derived on nonathletes did not accurately estimate MP in the high school wrestlers. The equation for estimating PP, however, was valid when applied to the current sample of high school wrestlers. These findings supported previous studies that have shown that in adolescent males, exercise training improves the metabolic capabilities of the anaerobic glycolytic system, but not the phosphagen system.
