The role of hip abductor strength and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion on proximal, local and distal muscle activation during single-leg squat in patellofemoral pain women: an all-encompassing lower limb approach
ConclusionsAnkle DF-ROM and hip abductor strength seems to influence on lower proximal and distal EMG amplitude observed during the single-leg squat in women with PFP. Future studies needs to consider an all-encompassing lower limb approach to better understand the sensorimotor control which contributes to lower limb alignment in PFP people.

Effect of motor skills development on psychological and social traits of students of mazandaran province during the covid-19 pandemics
AbstractNowadays, the covid 19 pandemics are challenging all students. The present study aimed to investigate whether motor skill development affects students' psychological and social traits during the covid 19 pandemics. The present study's population consisted of all students aged 9 –17 years in the three grades of the elementary, middle, and high school in Mazandaran province in the academic year 2020–2021, which corresponded to approximately 534 thousand students. We used a simple random sampling to determine the sample size because Iranian schools were closed. In this s tudy, we selected 15 individuals for each ...

Effects of social distancing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on physical activity level, sitting time, and binge eating: a comparison between overweight/obese and normal-weight adults
ConclusionThe social distancing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic changed exercise behaviors and increased the prevalence of binge eating in the general population. However, overweight/obese participants engaged in less total weekly physical activity and showed a higher prevalence of binge eating before and during social distancing.Level of evidenceLevel III; analytical observational cohort study.

Correlation between hardiness and negative personal states in athletic activities
AbstractReadiness and ability of a person to overcome stressful situations in any professional activity is particularly relevant for sports. The dynamics of negative states (anxiety, aggression) and hardiness in athletes in different periods of athletic activity (between competitions, 2 –3 days before the competition, during the competition, and 2–3 days after them) was studied. The sample involved 56 athletes of both sexes aged 18–30 years (engaged in boxing, judo and combat sambo), and qualified as Master of Sports and Master of Sports of International Class. It is shown that before the competition there is an i...

Sleep and mood of elite basketball referees during international competitions
ConclusionThese results highlight poor sleep habits of elite sporting officials during the most important international sporting events. Poor sleep was exacerbated in evening fixtures due to increased arousal and a curtailed opportunity for sleep rather than competitive anxiety as is often the case with athletes. Future studies should build upon our findings by investigating potential countermeasures to the issues we have identified. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

The effect of exercise rehabilitation on COVID-19 outcomes: a systematic review of observational and intervention studies
ConclusionThe current review demonstrated that exercise rehabilitation generally could have a beneficial role in improvement of both physical and psychological related outcomes. As the best onset time, and FITT components are not yet completely clear, further large, well-designed RCTs are suggested to provide details of exercise rehabilitation program.

Intra-day and inter-day reliabilities of the 0 ° and 45° adductor squeeze tests using hand-held dynamometry
ConclusionsMeasuring adductor squeeze force in the 0 ° and 45° short-lever positions is reliable using hand-held dynamometry and both test positions are capable of detecting the SWC. The 0° test may illicit greater force values compared to the 45° test than previously reported. Using hand-held dynamometry, the device may be positioned against eith er the dominant or non-dominant limb. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Validity and reliability of the Persian translation of the children ’s Ohio State University Scale of Intra-Gross Motor Assessment (OSU-SIGMA)
ConclusionsThe Persian translation of the OSU-SIGMA was found to be reliable and valid for the assessment of FMS among Iranian children aged 2.5 –13 years. The OSU-SIGMA was designed using a curriculum-based approach. The translation provides teachers in Persian countries with a pedological approach to develop age-appropriate FMS activities that can be used for programming, screening, and the prescription of children’s FMS.
