Exploration of the Shoulder Internal Rotation’s Influence on Throwing Velocity in Handball Players: A Pilot Study

The main objective of this study was to test the relationship between shoulder internal rotation strength and standing throwing velocity. A repeated measures cross-sectional study was conducted with 20 professional handball players (mean +/- SD; age: 19.28 +/- 2.55 years, weight: 81.52 +/- 9.66 kg, height: 185 +/- 6 cm, BMI: 23.74 +/- 1.69). The participants were instructed to perform eight standing throws from the 7 m line of the handball court at maximum velocity to calculate the mean and maximum throwing velocity. An incremental test was performed to calculate the repetition maximum (1-RM) of internal rotation shoulder strength. A Pearson's correlation analysis with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was performed to determine whether correlations existed between dominant arm internal rotation strength characteristics and maximum and mean ball-throwing velocity. There is no correlation between the internal rotation strength of the throwing shoulder and the velocity of the ball in the standing handball throw.FEDER/Junta de Andalucia- Consejeria de Transformacion Economica, Industria, Conocimiento y UniversidadesEuropean Commission B-CTS-184-UGR2

A nutritional intervention for moderate altitude endurance preparation: A case report

Background: Moderate altitudes carry physiological and metabolic changes that can dampen exercise performance. Fortunately, these changes can be modulated by an optimal nutritional intervention. This case study represents the first nutritional intervention of a moderate altitude athlete. These results may help to establish well-designed nutritional guidelines for moderate altitude sports athletes. Case presentation: This case study examined the effects of a 11- week nutritional intervention on body composition, muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, resting and exercise nutrient oxidation, and subjective sleep quality, in a male high-level moderate altitude athlete with a very light non-exercise activity thermogenesis. During the 11-week of nutritional intervention, 2800-3500 kcal/day, 6.8-8.9 g/kg/day of carbohydrates, 1.2-1.7 g/kg/day of protein, and 1-2.5 g/kg/day of fat were prescribed. Different specific considerations were also included, such as: iron supplementation, antioxidants increment in different phases, and ergogenic aids (i.e. creatine and beta-alanine). Our results demonstrated a decrease in adiposity and an increase in fat-free mass. In parallel, the athlete improved muscle strength, and therefore endurance adaptations after a maximal effort test (i.e. enhancement of the heart rate recovery). After the intervention, the athlete not only increased the carbohydrate oxidation during exercise and resting conditions but also improved his subjective sleep quality. Conclusions: Our results suggest that a nutritional intervention based on the endurance nutritional recommendations and adapted to the altitude physiological peculiarities can induce body recomposition, improve physiological adaptations to effort, and upgrade the substrate oxidation in a moderate altitude high-level athletes.Spanish Government FPU19/01609Redes Tematicas de Investigacion Cooperativa RETIC Red SAMID RD16/0022University of Granada Plan Propio de InvestigacionJunta de Andalucia, Consejeria de Conocimiento, Investigacion y Universidades (ERDF) SOMM17/6107/UGR DOC 01151University of Granada, Plan Propio de Investigacion 2020 Programa de Contratos Puent

Correlation between internal shoulder rotation strength and throwing velocity in handball

This study aims to check if there is a correlation between the internal shoulder rotation (ISR) strength of the dominant arm's without previous countermovement action, measured in an isotonic way by a new device (Dynasystem), with the throwing velocity in handball support. A transversal study of repeated measurements was carried out with twenty handball players from the First National category of Spain. Participants were instructed to perform 8 support throws from the 7-meter line of the handball court at maximum velocity, in goal, to calculate the mean and maximum throwing velocity. A 3 to 5 kilogram incremental test was performed, with 3' to 5' rests, to calculate the ISR repetition maximun of the dominant arm's without previous countermovement. Once the mean and peak velocity at which load of each relative intensity has been moved, has been measured, an individual force-velocity profile has been obtained for each player. There is no correlation between the ISR strength without countermovement of the dominant arm's shoulder, measured in an isotonic way, with the velocity of the ball in the standing handball throw without run.Este estudio tiene como objetivo comprobar si existe una correlación entre la fuerza de rotación interna del hombro (ISR) del brazo dominante sin acción previa de contramovimiento, medida de forma isotónica por un nuevo dispositivo (Dynasystem), con la velocidad de lanzamiento en apoyo de balonmano. Se realizó un estudio transversal de medidas repetidas con veinte jugadores de balonmano de la categoría Primera Nacional de España. Se instruyó a los participantes para que realizaran 8 lanzamientos en apoyo desde la línea de 7 metros de la pista de balonmano a máxima velocidad, a gol, para calcular la media y la máxima velocidad de lanzamiento. Se realizó una prueba incremental de 3-5 kilogramos, con descansos de 3' a 5', para calcular la repetición máxima de rotación interna del hombro del brazo dominante sin contramovimiento previo. Una vez que se ha medido la velocidad media y máxima a la que se ha movido la carga de cada intensidad relativa, se ha obtenido un perfil de fuerza-velocidad individual para cada jugador. No hay correlación entre la fuerza de rotación interna sin contramovimiento del hombro del brazo dominante, medida de forma isotónica, con la velocidad del balón en el lanzamiento en apoyo de balonmano sin carrera

Effects of Allicin on Hypertension and Cardiac Function in Chronic Kidney Disease

This work was performed to study the effect of allicin on hypertension and cardiac function in a rat model of CKD. The groups were control, CKD (5/6 nephrectomy), and CKD-allicin treated (CKDA) (40 mg/kg day/p.o.). Blood pressure was monitored (weekly/6 weeks). The cardiac function, vascular response to angiotensin II, oxidative stress, and heart morphometric parameters were determined. The CKD group showed hypertension and proteinuria. The coronary perfusion and left ventricular pressures were decreased in CKD group. In contrast, the vascular response to angiotensin II and expression of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) were increased. These data were associated with the increment in morphometric parameters (weight of heart and left ventricle, heart/BW and left ventricular mass index, and wall thickness). Concurrently, the oxidative stress was increased and correlated inversely with the expression of Nrf2, Keap1, and antioxidant enzymes Nrf2-regulated. Allicin treatment attenuated hypertension and improved the renal and the cardiac dysfunctions; furthermore, it decreased the vascular reactivity to angiotensin II, AT1R overexpression, and preserved morphometric parameters. Allicin also downregulated Keap1 and increased Nrf2 expression, upregulated the antioxidant enzymes, and reduced oxidative stress. In conclusion, allicin showed an antihypertensive, nephroprotective, cardioprotective, and antioxidant effects, likely through downregulation of AT1R and Keap1 expression

Treatable traits in the NOVELTY study

CorrigendumVolume 27, Issue 12, Respirology, pages: 1095-1095. First Published online: November 6, 2022 10.1111/resp.14406International audienceAsthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two prevalent and complex diseases that require personalized management. Although a strategy based on treatable traits (TTs) has been proposed, the prevalence and relationship of TTs to the diagnostic label and disease severity established by the attending physician in a real-world setting are unknown. We assessed how the presence/absence of specific TTs relate to the diagnosis and severity of 'asthma', 'COPD' or 'asthma + COPD'
