The correlation between stroke characteristics and stroke effect of young table tennis players.
CONCLUSIONS: The time allocation of the three phases of backspin forehand stroke had an important correlation with stroke effect, especially the ball speed and spin speed. The movement of the right wrist joint and right ankle joint were mainly correlated with the ball speed of the stroke. The spin speed of the stroke was mainly correlated with the movement of the right wrist joint. The placement of the stroke was mainly correlated with the rotation of the right knee joint.

Exertional Heat Stroke Management Strategies in United States High School Football
Conclusion: Preseason exertional heat stroke events, which are likely to be fatal if untreated, were reported by one fifth of all athletic trainers in high school football programs. The standard of care is (and should be) to treat proactively; therefore, treatment is not a perfect proxy for incidence. Nevertheless, there is an urgent need for improved education and awareness of exertional heat stroke in high school football. Areas of improvement include the greatly increased use of rectal thermometers and immersion in ice water.

On-Site Treatment of Exertional Heat Stroke
Conclusion: On-site treatment of athletes who develop exertional heat stroke appears to be both safe and effective. On-site treatment may decrease the local burden of critically ill patients to emergency departments during large athletic events.

Reliability of Two Methods for Identifying the Postural Phase of Gait Initiation in Healthy and Post-stroke Subjects.
This study aims to compare two methods of assessing the postural phase of gait initiation as to intrasession reliability, in healthy and post-stroke subjects. As a secondary aim, this study aims to analyse anticipatory postural adjustments during gait initiation based on the centre of pressure (CoP) displacements in post-stroke participants. The CoP signal was acquired during gait initiation in fifteen post-stroke subjects and twenty-three healthy controls. Postural phase was identified through a baseline-based method and a maximal displacement based method. In both healthy and post-stroke participants higher intra-class c...

The Effects of Leg Kick on the Swimming Speed and on Arm Stroke Efficiency in Front Crawl.
CONCLUSIONS: the relative contributions of the arm stroke and leg kick should be individually estimated to reduce errors when calculating arm stroke efficiency at different speeds and different swimmers. PMID: 27736243 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Individualizing Training in Swimming: Evidence for Utilizing the Critical Speed and Critical Stroke Rate Concepts.
CONCLUSION: HIIT prescribed based on the CS and CSR concepts was associated with improvements in several physiological, technical, and performance parameters in highly trained swimmers while utilizing time- and resource-efficient approach. This was achieved despite a ≥25% reduction in training volume. PMID: 31991399 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke and sarcopenia
Curr Phys Med Rehabil Rep. 2020 Dec;8(4):452-460. doi: 10.1007/s40141-020-00284-2. Epub 2020 Sep 15.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: to evaluate recent scientific research studies related to the changes in skeletal muscle after stroke and the presence of sarcopenia in stroke survivors to establish its incidence and effects on function.RECENT FINDINGS: Recently published findings on stroke-related sarcopenia are limited. This might be due to changes in the consensus definition of sarcopenia. Sarcopenia in stroke patients is estimated at 14 to 54%. The presence of sarcopenia at the time of a stroke can lead to worse recovery and f...

Effect of an 11-Week In-Water Training Program With Increased Resistance on the Swimming Performance and the Basic Kinematic Characteristics of the Front Crawl Stroke
Gourgoulis, V, Valkoumas, I, Boli, A, Aggeloussis, N, and Antoniou, P. Effect of an 11-week in-water training program with increased resistance on the swimming performance and the basic kinematic characteristics of the front crawl stroke. J Strength Cond Res 33(1): 95–103, 2019—The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of an 11-week in-water training program with increased resistance on the swimming performance and the basic kinematic characteristics of the front crawl stroke in young female swimmers. Twelve swimmers were matched in pairs according to their best performance in 50-m front crawl swimming and then...

Three-dimensional Torso Motion in Tethered Front Crawl Stroke and Its Implications to Low Back Pain.
Authors: Du T, Narita I, Yanai T Abstract Low back pain is a common problem among competitive swimmers and repeated torso hyperextension is claimed to be an etiological factor. The purpose of this study was to describe the three-dimensional torso configurations in the front crawl stroke and to test the hypothesis that swimmers experience torso hyperextension consistently across the stroke cycles. Nineteen collegiate swimmers underwent two measurements: a measurement of the active range of motion in three dimensions and a measurement of tethered front crawl stroke at their maximal effort. Torso extension beyond the ...

Computer Aided Stroke-by-Stroke Visualization of Actual and Target Power Allows for Continuously Increasing Ramp Tests on Wind-Braked Rowing Ergometers.
CONCLUSION: This setup allows one to perform ramp tests on RowErg with continuously increasing LOAD until TERMauto. In particular cases ⩒O2max might be slightly underestimated at TERMauto. PMID: 29035587 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
