    This study analysed the time dedicated in the different phases of combat in all male weight divisions. For this, we analysed 548 combats. This time-motion analysis was performed through a previously-validated protocol. The main results indicated a significant effect for approach (p≤0.001), where the Half-Middleweight division showed a higher frequency vs. the others, except Half-heavyweight. For attack, Half-Lightweight showed a higher frequency versus Heavyweight (5.7±4.8 vs. 4.6±3.5 attempts; p=0.004). Extra-Lightweight showed a lower frequency of defences vs Half-Lightweight and Lightweight (2.2±2.6 vs. 3.8±3.2 vs. 4.4±3.7 attempts; (p≤0.047). Extra-Lightweight also showed a lower frequency of standing to ground transition vs. Half-Lightweight, Lightweight, and Half-Middleweight (p≤0.048). For groundwork, Middleweight showed a lower frequency of actions vs. the other divisions, except Heavyweight (p≤0.001). for the pause the Heavyweight division showed a lower frequency vs. Lightweight and Half-Middleweight (6.7±4.2 vs. 9.9±6.2 vs. 10.2±6.3 times; p≤0.019). In conclusion, our results can be applied to planning and prescribing specific training for the different weight divisions, taking into account the specific frequencies obtained in the combat phases. For lighter fighters, we recommend training focused on approach speed and gripping. For heavier weights, the training should be differentiated for muscle power development and groundwork combat

    This study compared the emotional intelligence and state-trait anxiety between competitive level, gender and performance. For this, were measured 444 athletes (female n=171) from jiu-jitsu (n=142), judo (n=137), karate (n=57), kendo (n=63), taekwondo (n=25) and wrestling (n=20). We applied the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) and Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24). The results indicated that high-level female showed lower state anxiety than the low-level [14.0 (1.0; 36.0) vs. 20.0 (1.0; 58.0); p=0.03]. High-level showed lower values than intermediate (p=0.006) and lower-level (p=0.013). The 1st regression, the regulation dimension was the main variable to explain the level of competition for females (R2=0.046), in the 2nd model, the regulation dimension and state anxiety explained the level (R2=0.066). For males, trace anxiety explained the lower-level (R2=0.019). In conclusion, lower-level female athletes are more anxious than lower-males, but in the domains of emotional intelligence, higher-level female showed a higher comprehension and perception than higher- males.post-print317 K

    Neste estudo avaliamos o potencial radiossensibilizante do paracetamol e a participação da enzima Glutationa Peroxidase (GPx) na linhagem celular de glioma humano U-87. Após radiação com 5 Gy, a linhagem U-87 apresentou redução na fração de sobrevivência, quando comparada ao controle. A combinação do paracetamol (0,5 mM) com a radiação ionizante (2 Gy) demonstrou redução no número de colônias formadas, quando comparado com a radiação isolada. Após exposição a 2 Gy de radiação, observamos um aumento de 40% na atividade da GPx na linhagem U87. Por outro lado, a exposição ao paracetamol (0,5 mM) não alterou os níveis basais desta enzima. Nossos resultados indicam que o paracetamol aumenta a sensibilidade à radiação na linhagem celular U-87, mas a GPx não está ligada a este efeito

    O Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) é um esporte de combate que exige a máxima capacidade física durante as competições, neste contexto, alguns atletas podem administrar substâncias ilícitas, com fins de ampliar artificialmente sua performance. Por meio de análise pareada, o presente estudo comparou as ações motoras de lutadores flagrados no teste de doping frente ao desempenho em combates em que o mesmo saiu vencedor ou foi derrotado sem a presença de doping. Para tal, foram analisados 267 rounds em combates profissionais (masculino e feminino). Os rounds foram pareados por lutadores nas condições: doping, vencedor e perdedor. As ações motoras foram analisadas através de protocolo específico previamente validado. Das substâncias detectadas, os esteroides anabólicos androgênicos representaram (55%; p≤0,001). Lutadores dopados apresentaram menor tempo de pausa (83,4±68,3 vs. 131,7±95,2; p≤0,001) e maior tempo em alta intensidade (85,2±86,6 vs. 51,2±73,3; p=0,002) frente a condição Derrota. Quanto a análise técnico-tática em combate em pé, a condição Vitória apresentou maior média frente ao doping em todas as variáveis exceto Knockdowns (p=0,08), golpe simples acertado no corpo (p=0,15), e na perna (p=0,25) e tentativa de golpe simples (p=0,4). Em conclusão, lutadores que testaram positivo apresentaram maior desempenho nas variáveis físicas (tempo de esforço e tempo de pausa) frente a condição derrota; no entanto, a condição de doping não refletiu melhor desempenho técnico

    El desgarro de isquiotibiales es la lesión más común asociada a los sprints en atletas que lo realizan en su práctica deportiva, siendo acompañada por los esguinces de tobillo y lesiones de ligamentos. Los isquiotibiales son muy exigidos durante la carrera de velocidad y, en las fases excéntrica al final del balanceo y concéntrica al inicio del despegue, es muy común que ocurran lesiones debido a la sobrecarga, potencia y explosión requeridas, asociadas a los factores de riesgo. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar los efectos de una lesión previa de isquiotibiales sobre la cinemática y electromiografía de miembros inferiores en corredores de velocidad de alto rendimiento de Chile. Fueron evaluados veintitrés corredores de velocidad de alto rendimiento, de los cuales 10 presentaban lesión previa de isquiotibiales y 13 no tenían historia de lesión previa. Cada sujeto realizó tres carreras de velocidad de 100 metros planos en pista atlética oficial y fueron evaluadas variables cinemáticas de miembros inferiores, a través de sistema de captura de movimiento 3D out door, y variables electromiográficas en músculos de los miembros inferiores, utilizando sistema de electromiografía (EMG) Wireless. Una lesión previa de isquiotibiales genera, en la pierna lesionada en comparación a piernas no lesionadas, diferencias significativas en variables de longitud de ciclo (p=0.021) y tiempo de vuelo (p=0.002) y variables cinemáticas de cadera (p=0.001), rodilla y tobillo (p=0.01). No obstante, no se observan diferencias significativas al analizar variables cinemáticas entre piernas sin historia de lesión previa. No se han observado resultados estadísticamente significativos en el análisis de las variables de EMG comparando la pierna lesionada con las piernas no lesionadas. Los resultados demuestran claramente que una lesión previa de isquiotibiales genera alteraciones cinemáticas en la pierna lesionada y que no existen diferencias electromiográficas en los sujetos evaluados, lo que está asociado al tiempo transcurrido posterior a la lesión. Sin embargo, las consecuencias de la lesión de isquiotibiales, y sus efectos en la cinemática y EMG durante la carrera, no pueden ser evaluadas de forma aislada, considerando tratarse de una condición multifactorial

    The aim of the current study was to compare and verify factors associated with gender in combat phases, techniques and biomechanical leversused during judo matches, and performance probabilities in those same matches. We evaluated high-level judo athletes from each weight division who qualified for the Olympic Games. 773 male and 638 female bouts were analyzed based on the motor actions during approach, gripping, attack, defense, groundwork and biomechanics of techniques. The current results demonstrated significant differences between male and female bouts in pause frequencies [7(4;12); 9(4;13); p≤0.05], and approach with displacements [1(0; 6); 3(0;9); p≤0.05]. Female athletes used higher frequencies of techniques with different biomechanical levers for attacks (i.e. trunk leg lever attempts; waist lever variable attempts, waist lever variable effective and attempts, and maleolo lever effective and attempts; p≤0.05), while men used more variations of gripping (i.e. left collar, left collar and sleeve, both collars, right sleeve, left sleeve and both sleeves; p≤0.05) and groundwork attacks (i.e. Osae-waza, kansetsu-waza and shime-waza attempts; p≤0.05). The regression analysis demonstrated that female performance probabilities are associated positively with the use of Osae-waza, Variable/medium length attempted and scored, Arm/foot lever, Minimum lever attempted and scored and negatively with the grip on both collars, while male performance probabilities are associated positively with the use of Variable/medium length scored, Arm/foot lever scored, Minimum lever attempted and negatively with the grip on the right sleeve. The present data can be applied by coaches and athletes to elaborate the training programs focused on competitive strategies that increase the chances of winning.Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se uporede i potvrde faktori povezani sa fazama džudo meča, upotrebljenim tehnikama, biomehaničkim polugama, verovatnoćom izvođenja meča i polom sportiste. Ocenjivani su sportisti visokog nivoa iz svake težinske divizije koji su se kvalifikovali za Olimpijske igre. Analizirano je 773 muških i 638 ženskih napada tokom prilaza, hvata, napada i odbrane sa biomehaničkog aspekta. Rezultati su pokazali značajne razlike između muških i ženskih napada u frekvencijama pauze [7 (4; 12); 9 (4; 13); p≤0,05], prilazu sa pomeranjima [1 (0; 6); 3 (0; 9); p≤0.05]. Sportistkinje su učestalije koristile tehnike sa različitim biomehaničkim polugama prilikom napada (tj. pokušaje poluga trup-noge, struk, skočni zglob; p≤0.05), dok su sportisti koristili više varijacija hvata (tj. ovratnik, rukav, oba rukava; p≤0.05) i napade na tlu (tj. osae-vaza, kansetsu-vaza i shime-vaza pokušaje; p≤0.05). Regresiona analiza pokazala je da su verovatnoće performansi sportiskinja pozitivno povezane sa upotrebom osae-vaza, pokušane i ostvarene srednje dužine, poluge ruka/stopalo, minimalnom pokušanpm i postignutom polugom i negativno sa držanjem okovratnika, dok su verovatnoće performansi sportista pozitivno povezane sa upotrebom ostvarene srednje dužine, ostvarene poluge ruka/stopalo, minimalnom pokušanom polugom i negativno sa hvatom rukava. Aktuelni podaci mogu biti od koristi trenerima i sportistima kako bi se razradili programi obuke usmerene ka takmičarskim strategijama koje povećavaju šanse za pobedom

    The present study aimed to compare pacing and decision making of athletes competing in judo, with particular attention paid to effort-pause ratios occurring in the championship phases of the Olympic Games and non-Olympic Games. The sample was composed of 53,403 sequential actions analyzed during 611 performances of the non-Olympic Games (eliminatory n = 330, quarterfinals n = 60, semi-final n = 88, repechage n = 21, third place playoff n = 26, and final n = 79) and 163 from the Olympic Games (eliminatory n = 71, quarterfinals n = 13, semi-final n = 26, repechage n = 20, third place playoff n = 24, and final n = 14). The analysis of effort-pause ratios included separating bouts into states of approach, gripping, attack, groundwork and pause, according to frequency and time. A Markov multi-state model and analysis of variance were applied (p ≤ 0.05). Approach time presented differences of the eliminatory Olympic Games (7.3 ± 3.2 s) versus final non-Olympic Games (6.0 ± 2.2s), and the third place playoff Olympic Games (8.1 ± 2.3 s) versus semi-final (6.2 ± 2.4 s) and third place playoff (5.9 ± 2.1 s) of the non-Olympic Games, and the semi-final Olympic Games (8.6 ± 2.3 s) versus eliminatory (6.5 ± 2.3 s), quarter-finals (6.5 ± 1.7 s), semi-final (6.2 ± 2.4 s), repechage (6.2 ± 2.2 s), third place playoff (5.9 ± 2.1 s), and final (6.0 ± 2.0 s) of the non-Olympic Games. Pause time presented differences of the semi-final Olympic Games (6.8 ± 2.1 s) versus eliminatory (5.1 ± 3.1 s). The present data suggest a focus on pacing strategy during championship phases, which mimic the requirements of judo combats

    The purpose of this study was to determine the relative power of lower limbs and the surface electromyographic activity (EMG) of the gluteus maximus (GM), vastus medialis (VM), vastus lateralis (VL), and lateral gastrocnemius (GASLAT) during a countermovement jump (CMJ) and an Abalakov jump (ABK). Twenty-four collegevolleyball players were divided into two equal groups assigned by division: Group 1 (G1), comprised of volleyball players from the 1st university division, and Group 2 (G2), comprised ofvolleyball players from the 2nd university division. Both groups took two simultaneous EMG and power assessments. For the power assessment, a 2D recording system was used to track the greater trochanter with a 250fps camera. The video was analyzed with the Tracker 4.96 software to obtain absolute power values. The EMG activity was measured using a Delsys Trigno® electromyograph in the GM, VM, VL, and GASLAT muscles. Significant differences were found in %PeakRMS of VL (G1=65.210.2; G2=54.0±11.7 %PeakRMS; p 0.05) and ABK (p>0.05).Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar a potência relativa do membro inferior e atividade eletromiográfica (EMG) de superfície do glúteo máximo (GM), vasto medial (VM), vasto lateral (VL) e gastrocnêmio lateral (GASLAT) durante um salto contramovimento (CMJ) e um salto Abalakov (ABK). No total foram 24 jogadores de vôlei universitários divididos em dois grupos iguais, determinados pelo nível de competição: o grupo 1 (G1), composto por jogadores de 1ª divisão universitária e o grupo 2 (G2), composto por jogadores de vôlei de 2ª divisão universitária. Cada um foi submetido a duas avaliações simultâneas de potência e EMG de superfície.
