EFFECTS OF AEROBICS CLASS ON WEIGHT LOSS AND BOW POSTURE FOR VARSITY STUDENTS
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of aerobic training class on weight loss for varsity students in comparison with tatami mats in the Judo room and the floor studio. Seventy-seven subjects participated in this study, after being confirmed by informed consent. The results showed that 51 subjects had lost weight, 66.2% of all. In regards %fat, 56 subjects had shown decreases, namely 72.7%. The data of the most weight loss was 5.4kg and the most %fat loss was 9.4%fat in the Judo room. In the focus on %fat loss subjects showed a statistically meaningful difference. It was suggested that an attempt of ukemi wearing a kimono with a tight belt and beautiful bow posture in back straight contributed to the effect of %fat loss in the Judo room and aerobics on tatami mats was the efficient exercise. In addition it was fruitful that each other bowed in respect in physique
A CASE STUDY OF “K-TIE” ASSISTED INSTRUCTION KAI TO “CLAPPING HANDS” AS A RECREATION ACTIVITY
The purpose of this study was to identify the causes of rejection of papers from conference proceedings and to present guidelines to limit the number of papers rejected from the Proceedings of the XXIVth International Symposium on Biomechanics in Sports hosted by the University of Salzburg, Austria. Scientists (n=95) with extensive experience in reviewing papers completed a survey. Each scientist selected their five most common reasons for rejecting papers. All scientists selected 'unsound experimental design’ and 'lack of clarity’ in one or more sections as common reasons for rejecting papers from proceedings. Other common reasons were poor identification of the problem (53), and poor analytical methods (65). Guidelines for authors arose from the study
BIOMECHANICAL FEATURES OF STRIKING MOVEMENTS ON JAPANESE DRUM
The purpose of this study is to clarify the biomechanical features of the human striking movements observed while playing the Japanese drum by three dimensional analysis. Three subjects participated in this study in order to deterimine the motion of a professional player, an experienced player and a novice player. Digital videography method was applied to each subject, regarding their maximum effort during a 15-second exercise, and measured EMG and GRF. The results showed that the biomechanical features of striking movements are to make the most of ability with the features of Taiko, through repetition of efficient strike and recovery. Moreover, the crucial point was expressed at a strike velocity of 4.42m/s and at a recovery velocity of 3.76m/s. In addition, the feature of Yoko-uchi by a professional player is a single leg striking method
