A number of studies have described typical scapular kinematics during arm elevation in adults. However, spinal structure and function differ between normal and elderly adults. To our knowledge, trunk kinematics during arm elevation in the elderly has never been clarified. The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the kinematics patterns of the trunk during arm elevation between normal and elderly adults. Forty-one normal adults (14 male and 27 female, mean age 22.1±1.1 years) and twenty-eight elderly adults (8 male and 20 female, mean age 75.8±7.2 years) participated in this study. The kinematics data were collected using an analog digital measuring device to record the sagittal outline of the back by using the Spinal Mouse system (Idiag AG, Switzerland). Subjects were instructed to raise their arm in the scapular plane, and measurements were performed with the arm in the dependent position, at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 degrees of abduction, and maximum abduction. The normal adult group demonstrated a significant decrease in thoracic kyphosis at 150 degrees and maximum abduction, and an increase in pelvic tilt at the maximum abduction ; while the elderly group showed no significant differences. This study demonstrates that there are significant differences in thoracic and pelvic kinematics patterns between normal adults and elderly adults. From a clinical prospective, these results can be applied to improve shoulder movements in the elderly.

<p>Movement control and muscle function for pelvic movement in the frontal plane (pelvic elevation) are important for various single-leg sports activities. We aimed to clarify mechanical characteristics of pelvic squat (P-Sq: single-leg squat exercise with emphasis on pelvic elevation, developed by our research group) compared with the double-leg squat (D-Sq) and single-leg squat (S-Sq). Twelve male track and field athletes performed D-Sq, S-Sq, and P-Sq exercises at various loads (90%, 75%, and 60% of 1-repetition maximum [1RM]), using maximum effort. Kinematic and kinetic data were calculated using data recorded with a motion capture system and force platforms. We observed the highest values with P-Sq, followed by S-Sq and D-Sq under all load conditions as follows: peak vertical ground reaction force and rate of force development (RFD), range of pelvic elevation, peak pelvic elevation velocity, peak powers associated with hip abduction torque and trunk lateral flexion torque. In P-Sq, RFD at 90% 1RM was smaller than under the other load conditions, whereas peak vertical ground reaction force at 90% 1RM was larger than under the other load conditions. There were no differences among load conditions with regard to hip abduction and trunk lateral flexion torques and powers. Therefore, characteristics of P-Sq compared to those of D-Sq and S-Sq are 1) larger and faster pelvic elevation, using related muscles (hip abductors and trunk lateral flexors) under all load conditions, 2) larger peak ground reaction force with pelvic elevation under large load conditions, and larger RFD in pelvic elevation under low load conditions.</p>

The higher anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rate of females is one of the most sever athletic-related problems today. The purpose of this study is to compare the lower extremity kinematics between male and female during single leg landing.Six male and four female healthy subjects participated in this study. They jumped from a 32 cm high box and landed with the dominant leg. The landing action was filmed with three video cameras. The knee flexion, knee valgus/varus, and hip adduction/abduction angle and angle velocity were calculated.In female subjects, the knee flexion angle and hip adduction angle were greater compared to males. Also, the knee valgus velocity and hip adduction velocity were higher in females.Our results suggest that knee valgus kinematics may be related to hip adduction. It is important to evaluate hip kinematics when considering knee kinematics to prevent knee ligament injuries.

[Objective] Perspiration is almost only heat radiation mechanism under high temperature environments. And sudoriferous water is supplied from blood. Blood flow is determined by blood fluidity, blood volume and the cardiovascular system. It was reported that strong stress decreased blood fluidity.In this experiment, we investigated the relation between blood fluidity and water supply in rats loaded with forced exercise in high temperature environment.[Methods] SPF male Wistar rats weighing 250g were used. All animals were put in high temperature environment (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature; WBGT: 28°C) through whole experimental period. The rats were divided into four groups randomly; Suitable temperature environment-Exercise-Non water intake (SEN), High temperature environment-Exercise-Non water intake (HEN), High temperature environment-Exercise-Water intake (HEW) and Baseline (BL). In a group of water supply, distilled water was served before and later exercise by sonde forcibly. The blood was collected before or later of exercise and blood and erythrocyte suspension fluidity were measured.[Results] In the HEN, hydroperoxides, blood sodium, lactic acid and adrenaline increased while blood and erythrocyte suspension fluidity were decreased significantly compared with the BL. In addition, the hematocrit did not increase even if water equivalent to 4% of body weight lost it.[Conclusion] We speculate that exercise in high temperature environment decreases blood fluidity. However, the water supply in exercise that might not be sufficiently improve blood fluidity.

To examine risk factors for shoulder injuries with or without history of the injuries using the stratification analysis for collegiate rugby players. 71 elite rugby players from one university rugby club joined in the preseason medical screening related to their shoulder joints, including basic demographics, history of injuries, and physical findings at that time. Subsequently, the occurrence of shoulder injuries was recorded during four playing seasons. Analysis was stratified with or without history of the injuries; player without the past history of injury, 47 players; player with the past history of injury, 24 players. As a result of all players with the past history, 13 players sustained the shoulder injuries. Internal rotational range of motion [IR ROM] (OR, 1.5; 95%CI, 1.13-1.96; p=0.004), external rotational range of motion [ER ROM] (OR, 1.9; 95%CI, 1.21-2.87; p=0.005), horizontal flexion range of motion [HF ROM] (OR, 1.3; 95%CI, 1.03-1.64; p=0.025), IR muscle strength (OR, 0.4; 95%CI, 0.20-0.65; p=0.001) and rugby experience (OR, 1.2; 95%CI, 1.02-1.46; p=0.032) were associated with the shoulder injuries. On the other hand, 10 players sustained injuries of the players without the past history of injury. IR muscle strength (OR, 0.3; 95%CI, 0.11-0.72; p=0.008) and rugby experience (OR, 1.4; 95%CI, 1.11-1.66; p=0.003) were associated with the shoulder injuries. This study clearly showed that IR, ER, HF ROM, IR muscle strength and rugby experience were important initial risk factors for shoulder injuries. Moreover, IR muscle strength and rugby experience were important recurrence risk factors for shoulder injuries.

<p>The purpose of this study is to considerate the prediction formula for marathon time based on 20-m shuttle run test and training indexes in recreational runners. 100 male and 111 female recreational runners who have experienced one or more marathon races were measured. Each participant was measured with regard to physical characteristics, 20-m shuttle run test, and answered questionnaires about his/her training (monthly running distance, frequency of training, and years of experience of running training). Moreover, participants self-reported their best marathon time. Additionally, to examine the validity of the prediction formula, 14 male and 13 female recreational runners were measured using the 20-m shuttle run test and they answered the questionnaires about his/her training. The marathon time was significantly correlated with the participant's BMI, the times of 20-m shuttle run test, the monthly running distance, the frequency of training and the years of experience of running training for both male and female runners. Subsequently, multiple regression analysis generated the prediction model for marathon time by the measurement items. Furthermore, in the examination of the validity of the prediction formula, predicted marathon time was significantly highly correlated with measured marathon time. This study suggested that the marathon time can be predicted by the 20-m shuttle run test, the monthly running distance, and the years of experience of running training and the predicted marathon time may be useful for the marathon race and training in recreational runners.</p>

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between the low back pain of college students and psychological factors by using a questionnaire for low back pains and five psychological tests. The tests consisted of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Purpose in Life (PIL) test, Hassles Scale for students and Type A test. The subjects were 337 college students (126 male, 211 female) ranging in age from 19 to 22 (mean ± SD: 20.2 ± 1.3) years. Seventy-four subjects whose lower back pain was thought to be caused by organic factors were excluded. The 263 subjects (102 males, 161 females, mean ± SD: 20.1 ± 1.1 years) were divided into three groups (NP: subjects with no pain, PND: subjects with pain but no difficulties in daily life, PD: subjects with pain and difficulties in daily life) by degrees of low back pain. The PD subjects showed a more negative attitude than those in the PND and/or NP groups for four tests, i.e., Hassles Scale and the psychosomatic component of the HSCL and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory tests. It was suggested that low back pain was related to psychological factors such as stress and anxiety.

The symptoms of anemia, decreases in the levels of circulating red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Ht) lead to decrease endurance performance, and the risk of anemia increases in female endurance athletes. Although Hb is composed of a large amount of amino acids, the relationships between circulating levels of amino acids and RBC, Hb and Ht in female endurance athletes have not been clarified yet. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between circulating levels of amino acids and RBC, Hb and Ht in female endurance athletes. Twenty-four female endurance athletes (19.8 ± 0.2 years) participated in this study. We measured circulating levels of RBC, Hb and Ht from blood. Also, we measured circulating levels of amino acids from plasma by use of comprehensive analysis. The levels of circulating RBC, Hb and Ht in all subjects were within the normal range. We found that circulating taurine levels were significantly correlated with RBC (r = 0.48, p < 0.05), Hb (r = 0.44, p < 0.05) and Ht (r = 0.42, p < 0.05) in female endurance athletes. In the present study, we demonstrated that circulating taurine levels were significantly associated with RBC, Hb and Ht in female endurance athletes. These results suggest that circulating taurine levels may be a predictor of anemia and treatment strategy for anemia.
