Abstract:
Sport and physical activity prescription guidelines continue to evolve, which helps responding to a global epidemic of obesity, diabetes and several other lifestyle diseases, and addressing sports performance needs. Individualized exercise prescription should consider human physiological and behavioral adaptations and long term adherence. The intensity, duration and mode of exercise all determine the effectiveness and adherence of exercise training in the short and long term. Exercise or physical activity intensity prescription is considered one of the most important determinants for both health and sport related outcomes because of its complex effects on human cardiometabolic, neurological and psychological responses. Exercise training effectiveness can be defined based on several markers or thresholds at maximal and submaximal levels, including oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, blood metabolites, and perceived physical exertion, all affected by how intense the exercise is. Unfortunately, blurred definitions of exercise intensity prescription have recently surfaced including high-intensity or supramaximal high-intensity training (HIT or S-HIT). Some suggest HIT as a “novel” method for exercise training based on several findings showing short term-effectiveness in selected populations, which has been swiftly recommended by some as a public health strategy. Inaccurate exercise intensity prescription can be counterproductive, and increases the injury risk of and affect exercise adherence. Perhaps the history of exercise science associated with intensity domains including HIT can be traced back to early physiology work of 1920s. Since then, it had been known that exercise intensity domains are defined as light, moderate, heavy, severe, maximal and supramaximal intensities. Each domain is associated with complex adaptive responses, so HIT is not novel after all. A careful understanding of exercise intensity prescription necessitates an individualized exercise prescription in order to enable exercise scientists and sports medicine professionals to accurately address populations’ health and sporting outcomes.

Abstract:
Profession of bodyguard may induce a high level of psychophysiological stress and calls for high demands both for mental and physical capacities. The aim of the study was to describe health related data and physical fitness levels in a group of professional bodyguards of governmental and constitutional officials (n=21, age 37.5 years, range 28.6 to 54.5 years). Body composition was measured by using by bio-impedance method (Tanita Mc-980MA), muscular strength was determined by the grip strength dynamometer (Takei T.K.K.5401 Grip D), muscular power was assessed by the completion of the Wingate cycle test and cardiorespiratory fitness was determined by the completion of a VO2 peak test on a cycle ergometer. In addition, the subjects were examined for blood pressure, blood cholesterol and they were tested for simple visual and acoustic reaction time. The bodyguards demonstrated body fat 18.3+/-4.0 % and a high amount of fat-free mass 73.9+/-6.8 kg that corresponds to 109% and 114% of the national population norms. Body mass index attained 26.8+/-2.6 kg.m(-2) that corresponds to 104% of the population norm. Their grip strength attained 58.8+/-9.6 kp and 58.8+/-7.7 kp for the right and left hand, respectively. Those values corresponded to 120 % and 120% of the norm. Peak power and mean power found in the 30s Wingate test (resistance load 10% of body mass) were 992.1+/-120 W and 815.0+/-99 W, respectively, and the relative values of peak power and mean power attained 11.0+/-1.1 W/kg and 9.0+/-0.9 W/kg. VO2 peak reached 48.0+/-5.4 ml.kg(-1).min(-1) and the peak power output 3.58+/0.39 W/kg, that correspond to 126% and 105% of the national population norms. The average systolic and diastolic blood pressure attained 130.3+/-15.1 and 83.8+/-7 torr, respectively. High blood pressure (above 140/90) demonstrated six from 21 participants (i.e., 29%). Level of blood cholesterol was 4.54+/-0.79 mmol.l(-1) and the increased concentrations (above 5.2 mmol.l(-1)) was found in five from 21 participants (i.e. 24%).The simple visual and acoustic reaction time attained 207.8+/-12.9 ms and 156.0+/-16.9 ms that correspond to 109% and 92% of the national population norms. Peak power and mean power found in the 30s Wingate test and VO2 peak values correlated negatively with age (r=-0.57; -0.56; -0.47; p< 0.05). However, blood pressure, blood cholesterol, reaction time and handgrip values were not negatively affected by age. Body fat percentage negatively correlated with the aerobic fitness indices (VO2 peak r=-0.53, p<0.05; power output r=-0.63; p<0.01) but the main indices of anaerobic performance and other parameters followed in the study were not affected by the percentage of body fat. In conclusion, professional bodyguards could be regarded as individuals exposed to stress and to the consequent health risks. On the other hand, they exhibit above average both anaerobic and aerobic physical fitness that may provide beneficial health effects.

Abstract:
In discussing growth phenomena to date, Scammon’s growth curves often occupy a central position in the arguments given. However, Scammon’s growth curves were proposed more than 85 years ago, and the theory was constructed in an age when computers did not exist. Today, when so much more is understood scientifically, it is natural that we should try and verify the validity of a theory proposed more than 85 years ago. No report has yet clearly validated this theory. Given the above, in this study the theory proposed by Scammon was first re-examined to investigate the standardization of the human growth system, and a new growth curve model was constructed for the standard human growth pattern. That growth model pattern is proposed as the Fuijimmon growth curve. As data showing the four attributes classified from the growth curves of Scammon, the data used were cross-sectional growth data from age 1 year to 20 years for brain weight (as the neural type), thymus gland and tonsils (as the neural type), testicles (as the genital type), and liver and heart (as the general type) shown by Takaishi et al. (1987). The Wavelet Interpolation Model (WIM) is a method to examine growth distance values. A growth curve is produced by data-data interpolation with a wavelet function and deriving the growth velocity curve obtained by differentiating the described distance curve to approximately describe the true growth curve from given growth data. The effectiveness of the WIM lies in its extremely high approximate accuracy in sensitively reading local events. They have already been set forth in prior studies by Fujii (1999). As the results, that the velocity curves in general type visceral growth and genital type testicular growth can be shown to be very similar is something that seems to have been demonstrated for the first time by Fujii (2015). This proposal for the Fujimmon growth curves as a standardization of the human growth model may make it possible to verify the changes in human proportions formed from three patterns, a neural type, lymphoid type, and general type, from the relative changes in the growth of the head, which is representative of the neural type, and the growth in height, which is representative of the general type.

Abstract:
Soccer teams' playing formation (Bradley et al., 2011), game structure (Tenga et al., 2015) and performance level (Vogelbein et al., 2014) have been shown to affect match performance. In the present study the effects of different defensive team tactics, namely man-oriented, zone-oriented and aggressive group-pressure, on teams' movement intensity and defensive performance was explored during soccer match play. A comparative multiple-cases study of Argentina (n=5), Chile (n=3) and Netherland (n=4) national teams' 90-minute matches was conducted. Results show that type of defensive organisation had a significant influence on HI distance (F2,9 = 4.6, P = 0.041) and Sprint distance (F2,9 = 7.6, P = 0.012), as well as a strong tendency to significant influence on the number of conceded free kicks (F2,9 = 4.1, P = 0.054) per match. For example, Chile (342±85.9 m) performed significantly more Sprint distance per match than both Argentina (182.0±17.6 m; P=0.015) and Netherland (290.8±57.6 m; P=0.056). Regarding defensive performance, Netherland tended to concede more free kicks per match (21.4±7.2) than Argentina (9.3±2.2; P=0.060), but not Chile (18.0±8.5; P=0.323). The differences specific to defensive organisation were evident, especially in teams' movement intensity. Chile's aggressive group-pressure proved to be the most physically demanding and that man-oriented defence practiced by Netherland showed the highest risk of conceding free kicks. Employing zone-oriented defence, Argentina reached the final with the least high intensity activities and lowest number of conceded free kicks per match.

Abstract:
Introduction: Turf toe is used to describe an injury occurring at the plantar aspect of the metatarsophalangeal-sesamoid complex of the hallux. Typically seen in athletes, it occurs due to hyper-dorsiflexion and axial loading of the hallux metatarsophalangeal joint with the foot fixed in equinus. The injury causes pain and joint instability, missed athletic activity and potentially ends careers. Turf toe can be managed conservatively or operatively, with controversy regarding the indications for operative intervention.
Aim: This study aims to conduct a systematic review to determine whether and in what circumstances operative intervention is superior to conservative management of turf toe in adults.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Scopus databases. The search terms used were turf toe, first metatarsophalangeal joint injury, conservative, non-operative, and operative. All articles published in English reporting on the management of turf toe were reviewed. The primary outcome measure was the time to return to pre-injury activity with the secondary outcome of the time to symptom resolution.
Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Three patients were successfully managed conservatively returning to athletic activity on average at 12 weeks. 17 patients underwent surgical intervention with an average return to athletic activity at 18 weeks.
Conclusion: Operative intervention was shown to give a successful outcome in patients with grade three turf toe injuries or those who have failed conservative management. However, there is insufficient evidence to determine whether operative intervention is superior to conservative management.

Abstract:
Aim: This study aims that searching whether hemispheric differences do any effects into dynamical-statical balance levels and anthropometric features or not on the spotters who had active sport-life.
Methods: 98 spotters who have done exercise at least 6 days and 2 hours each day have been included in the search. Anthropometric features were measured of study group. Dynamical-statical balance levels were measured by using KAT 2000 (OEM Medical, Carlsbad, California, USA) balance system. Evaluated databases were analyzed using by SPSS 20 for Windows. P significance was taken as 0.01 and 0.05.
Results: There were no statistical significant difference between right-handed, left-handed or two-handed active sporters and dynamical-statical balance and anthropometric features on all sportsmen/women (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Two-handed sporters had more advantages as to handedness. Tiredness does not affected by side-using handed. Fatigue does affect statical balance. There are no significant differences between right-handed and left-handed according to balance.

Abstract:
Background: The number of individuals living with some type of disability is increasing at an accelerating rate. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 1 billion people or 15% of the world’s population have a disability. According to the Bureau of the Census, nearly one in five individuals in the United States has a disability, making this population the third largest minority in the country. Unfortunately, this number is on the rise due to issues such as an aging population, natural disasters and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of participation in sports, exercise and recreation (SER) on self-esteem, depression, posttraumatic growth and quality of life (QOL) in veterans with disabilities longitudinally at four time points.
Design: A convenience sample of 163 individuals (91 sports-participants and 72 non-participants) matched on disability type with a variety of disabilities took part in this longitudinal study. Variables of interest were: SER participation vs. non-participation, years of SER participation since onset of disability (less than one year, one to five years, five to ten years, and more than ten years), the type of activity they engaged in (individual activities or a combination of team and individual activities) and time (pre-event, immediately post-event, one month post-event, and three months post-event). Main outcome measures were self-esteem, depression, posttraumatic growth and QOL.
Results: SER participants had significantly higher self-esteem, posttraumatic growth and QOL, and significantly lower depression
scores than non-participants. There were also significant differences found between the independent variables of: time, number of years participating in SER since onset of disability and type of activity engaged in and various outcome measures studied.
Conclusions: The results of this study support that participation in SER has positive effects on self-esteem, depression, posttraumatic growth, and QOL.
