Study Regarding the Occupational Self-Assessment in University Students

2024-01-24T18:50:11+02:00

This study aimed to investigate the perception of occupational balance among university students. The research was conducted using a cross-sectional design, and the Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA) tool was used to evaluate students' perceived level of competence
in occupational skills, performance, volition, and habituation, as well as the value placed on each occupation. The study found that university students promote a cult of self-care and are more aware about daily routine, finances, quality of tasks, and social expression. The OSA tool can facilitate student-centred learning by guiding students to identify their strengths and weaknesses and find the best learning strategies for themselves.

2024-01-27T21:34:37+02:00

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between mobile phone addiction and physical activity. This study was planned as a descriptive relational study. The study was carried out with 165 students in a high school located of Konya province. Adolescents'
total physical activity score average was 2267.15±1257.161. When the mobile phone ddiction of the adolescents was evaluated, the mean deprivation subscale score was 17.04±7.56, the uncontrolled subscale mean score was 14.13±5.01, the tolerance subdimension
mean score was 13.36±7.89, and the mobile phone total score mean It was found to be 44.54±18.57. A very strong negative correlation was found between mobile phone addiction and physical activity level. In our study, in which we evaluated the relationship between the physical activity level of the students and the desire to be liked, who perceive their health as bad and those who were inactive in terms of physical activity were included in the risk group.

Using the Specific Means of Greco-Roman Wrestling to Increase the Level of Strength in Juniors (16-18 Years Old)

2024-01-27T21:40:32+02:00

The present paper aims to both investigate the level of strength indices in cadet athletes and experiment with a system of means for strength development. The research participants were 18 athletes, who represented several weight classes and were members of the Cadet Wrestling Section within the School Sports Club No. 5 in Bucharest. The experiment was conducted between 2021-2022, including both the preparatory period and the competitive period. The two participating groups (experiment and control) were applied an initial, intermediate and final test to check their strength levels. The average rate of progress recorded higher values for the experimental group compared to the control group in all six tests applied. The obtained results confirm the research hypothesis and show that the increase in strength found in the experimental group is the effect of applying the independent variable, more precisely, of using the set of specific exercises developed by us.

Case Study on the Efficiency of Physical Therapy in Hip Arthroplasty Treatment

2024-01-27T21:47:48+02:00

This work represents a case study conducted on a subject with a total hip prosthesis. The physical therapy intervention was structured into four stages of treatment: Stage I aimed at improving joint mobility and preventing dysfunctional positions in the affected limb. In
Stage II, the focus was on improving overall muscular strength through inducing voluntary motor activity in the affected muscles and maintaining kinaesthetic imagery. Stage III involved enhancing stability in various positions, such as sitting and standing. Stage IV
focused on improving controlled mobility, with the goal of enabling the patient to perform movements during any posture, with weight-bearing on fixed distal segments. The means used in the recovery process included therapeutic massage, kinetic techniques,
neuromuscular proprioceptive facilitation techniques, and therapeutic physical exercises. These interventions contributed to creating new movement patterns and improving functional parameters.

The Effect of Physical Activity Level on Positive Mental Health of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Patients

2024-01-27T21:51:18+02:00

This study was planned to examine the relationship between physical activity level and positive mental health in chronic obstructive pulmonary patients. This study was planned as a descriptive relational study. The mean age of the participants was 67.93±11.14, 72.4%
male, 27.6% female, 79% secondary school graduate, 77.1% married, 38.1% It was determined that 44.8% of them did not work in any job and their income was between 2501-3500 TL. The mean physical activity score of the participants was 227±108.18, and the mean score of the positive mental health scale was 68.12±12.57. A high positive correlation was observed between physical activity level and positive mental health. When the results of the study were evaluated, married and poor financial situation were in the risk group. In addition, it has been observed that individuals have a more positive mental health as the level of physical activity increases.

The Assessing of Some Motor Skills Dimensions of High School Adolescents, an Advantage in Promoting Extracurricular Activities

2024-01-27T21:56:58+02:00

The aim of our study was to highlight the level of some motor ability dimensions using four standardized instruments. The study involved 102 male students from "Constantin Brâncoveanu" High School in Horezu, Vâlcea County, grades IX-XII. Centralization of the
results, their processing, analysis and interpretation, according to each assessment instrument, show unsatisfactory results in terms of the body's ability to adapt to effort, a reduced capacity for recovery after effort, in conditions of normal weight and good thoracic
development. The results of our evaluation allow us to consider that it is necessary, on the one hand, to restructure the contents, optimize the direction of physical effort, rethink the way lessons are organised in the teachers' teaching strategies and, on the other hand, to initiate and improve extracurricular motor activities in order to increase the level of motor capacity of pupils in this category of adolescents.

Impact of Explosive Strength on Shot Speed in Handball

2024-01-27T22:03:32+02:00

Shooting is among the most important elements of the handball game that determine the success of the result. The aim of this research was to examine the impact of explosive strength on the shot speed of handball players. The sample of participants consisted of 20 handball players, aged 18 to 30 ± 0.3 years. The sample of measuring instruments consisted of five variables for evaluating explosive strength and four variables for evaluating shot speed in handball. The impact of explosive strength on shot speed in handball was determined using linear regression analysis. The results showed that the space of explosive strength is dominantly defined by the vertical jump test (VJ), while the latent space of shot speed is defined by the variable of jump shot with direct arm swing (SSD). Applying linear regression confirms that there is a statistically significant impact of explosive strength on shot speed in handball.

Study Regarding the Reaction Time Levels in Physical Education and Sports

2024-01-29T10:00:51+02:00

The subjects of this study are the Physical Education and Sports students of the UMFST George Emil Palade university of Targu Mures. The tests used to measure reaction time were the Visual reaction test, the Visual reaction right leg and the Visual reaction left leg. All three tests measured the reaction time in the legs, using a visual stimulus. The first test measured the reaction time in both legs by making the subjects jump vertically five times without knowing exactly when the visual stimulus would be activated; the second test
aimed to identify the reaction time of the right leg by making the subjects introduce their right leg in the monitoring area and raising it when the visual stimulus was activated; the third test is identical to the second, with the exception that it tested the reaction time in the
left leg.

Effects of High Intensity Training on Body Composition in Recreationally Active Women

2024-01-29T10:07:49+02:00

The aim of the study was to determine the effects of high intensity training on body composition in recreationally active women. The sample included 27 recreationally active women, experimental group (n = 13; age: 34.6 ± 1.7) and control group (n = 14; age: 34.2 ±
1.9). Nine parameters were measured: body weight, body height, body mass index, adipose tissue in%, adipose tissue in kg, muscle tissue in%, muscle tissue in kg, lean body mass in%, lean body mass in kg. Statistically significant effects on the final measurement were determined in the following tests: body weight in kg, body mass index, adipose tissue in%, adipose tissue in kg, muscle tissue in%, lean body mass in% and lean body mass in kg, at the level of statistical significance p<0.05. The results confirmed that intensive training of high intensity ≥80%-90% HRmax, was effective and lead to statistically significant changes in body composition.

The Importance of Physical Therapy Intervention in Improving the Quality of Life in a Patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

2024-01-29T10:16:49+02:00

The purpose of this work is to promote the efficiency of physical therapy in maintaining the patient's quality of life, who presents this syndrome. The research was conducted on a female patient diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome type III Hypermobility. She
represented the experiment on which the physical therapy program was applied, including physical exercises, drainage, massage, passive/passive-active mobilizations, postures, balneotherapy, physiotherapy, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques. The physical therapy methods and recovery techniques contributed to regaining the ability to maintain quality and motor capacity. These results were observed due to the tailored dosage of exercises based on the patient and their condition, and the patient's systematic involvement contributed to achieving the goals. Following the research undertaken and the obtained results, the established hypotheses were confirmed, obtaining results that helped maintain skin elasticity, prevent potential dislocations, and achieve better joint stability.
