Comparison of The Effect of Static and Dynamic Core Exercises on Physical Performance Parameters in Young Boxers

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of static and dynamic core exercises on physical performance parameters in young boxers. Twenty well-trained young male boxers aged 14-18 years old were voluntarily involved in the study. All participants were grouped randomly into dynamic and static core exercise groups. A six-week core exercise training program was performed on static and dynamic core exercise groups. Anthropometric measurements and physical performance tests; Yo-yo intermittent recovery test level 1, 30m speed test, hexagon agility test, standing long jump, maximum push-up, 30s sit-ups, flamingo balance and sit and reach flexibility tests were performed repeated 2 times before and after 6 weeks of training. Data were collected before and after six weeks of core exercise training and were analyzed using Paired t-test and ANCOVA test procedures. The results indicated that the core exercise training program significantly improved both groups' speed, agility, long jump, muscular endurance and 30m sprint performance. (

Split-bolus MR urography: synchronous visualization of obstructing vessels and collecting system in children

Several vascular abnormalities related with urinary system such as crossing accessory renal vessels, retroiliac ureters, retrocaval ureters, posterior nutcracker syndrome, and ovarian vein syndrome may be responsible for urinary collecting system obstruction. Split-bolus magnetic resonance urography (MRU) using contrast material as two separate bolus injections provides superior demonstration of the collecting system and obstructing vascular anomalies simultaneously and enables accurate preoperative radiologic diagnosis. In this pictorial review we aimed to outline the split-bolus MRU technique in children, list the coexisting congenital collecting system and vascular abnormalities, and exhibit the split-bolus MRU appearances of concurrent urinary collecting system and vascular abnormalities
