Jernej Pleša; Žiga Kozinc; Chris Bishop; Nejc Šarabon – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2024
We investigated the associations and differences between dynamic strength index (DSI) calculated from different types of vertical jump (countermovement jump; CMJ and squat jump; SJ) and different isometric knee joint angles (30, 60 and 90[degrees]), and associations with force-velocity (FV) profile and its constituent variables (maximal…

Monica Nelson – Sport, Education and Society, 2025
The differences in strength development processes and maximum strength levels between cisgender men and women -- i.e. the 'strength gap' -- are considerably fraught topics, with significant implications for our broader understandings of sex and gender. The polarization of exercise science and sociocultural research about the relationships between…

Fukuoka, Tatsuyuki; Ono, Takahiro; Hori, Kazuhiro; Kariyasu, Makoto – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of tongue-strengthening exercise (TSE) on tongue strength and effortful swallowing pressure in young healthy adults. Method: Thirteen young healthy volunteers (six men, seven women; M[subscript age] = 20.5 ± 0.5 years) performed 8 weeks of isometric TSE 3 days per week. A tongue…

Fullerton, Sean – Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, 2023
The purpose of this article is to provide practical applications for eccentric focused RT through the lens of DI that K-12 PE teachers can incorporate within their curriculums. Within the DI framework, differentiated assessments are key to measure readiness and the product of learning. The Brockport Fitness Tests are presented as a strategy to…

Trout, Josh – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2022
Working and learning from home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a national decline in physical activity. This, coupled with excessive sitting from remote learning, can lead to postural complications with negative consequences. This article offers physical educators the tools to educate students on how to assess their posture,…

Shimanovskaya, Yanina Vasilievna; Shmeleva, Svetlana Vasilievna; Vakulenko, Antonina Nikolaevna; Pisarevsky, Konstantin Leonidovich; Karpinsky, Anton Anatolyevich; Seliverstov, Alexander Alexandrovich – Journal of Educational Psychology - Propositos y Representaciones, 2020
Posture deformation occurs under the influence of factors that violate the vertical position of the spine. When the load on the spine is redistributed, the position of the body is adjusted by selective training of the muscles of the trunk and changing the position of the pelvis in the frontal plane. Exercises for impaired posture should be aimed…

Var, Sevde Mavi – Journal of Education and Learning, 2019
The purpose of this research is to examine the maximal isokinetic leg strengths of male athletes who work in different branches of taekwondo and boxing, both bilateral and unilateral, as right and left legs. Totally 32 athletes, including taekwondo athletes (n = 16) and boxer (n = 16), participated in the study. In the 2016-2017 season, the…

Filiz, Bijen; Konukman, Ferman; Tufekcioglu, Ertan – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2022
Due to COVID-19, children have not been able to go to school and move enough since March 2020. In this process, the measures taken such as the prolongation of the stay at home, social isolation, and quarantine caused children to delay their physical activities and stay away from these activities. As a result, this may have caused weakness in the…

Buskard, Andrew N. L.; Gregg, Heath R.; Ahn, Soyeon – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2018
Guidelines for improving maximal concentric strength through resistance training (RT) have traditionally included large muscle-group exercises, full ranges of motion, and a load approximating 85% of the 1-repetition maximum (1RM). Supramaximal eccentric training (SME; controlled lowering of loads above the concentric 1RM) has also been shown to be…

Szynkiewicz, Sarah H.; Nobriga, Christina V.; O'Donoghue, Cynthia R.; Becerra, Benjamin J.; LaForge, Garret – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the effects of a 6-week progressive resistance tongue exercise protocol in mental practice form on tongue strength. Investigation begins in typically aging adults, a population susceptible to reduced tongue strength and dysphagia secondary to age-related changes in the swallowing mechanism. It was…

Aksoy, Duygu – Journal of Education and Learning, 2019
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a type of exercise commonly applied as a modern exercise technique. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of WBV applied for 10-week on strength, flexibility and agility in taekwondo athletes. A total of 23 healthy young males participated in the present study. The athletes were separated…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of water-based aerobic exercises on the performance of water-based resistance exercises by assessing kinematic parameters during protocols and neuromuscular responses after them. Method: Ten women performed 2 water-based protocols (i.e., resistance and concurrent water-based…

Dijkhuizen, Annemarie; Waninge, Aly; Hermans, Seph; van der Schans, Cees P.; Krijnen, Wim P. – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2019
Background: Knowledge concerning the feasibility and effects of progressive resistance training (PRT) for persons with intellectual disabilities and visual impairment who are categorized in Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Level 1 is limited. The aim of our study was to evaluate feasibility and effect of PRT on participants'…
