Rest in underperforming elite competitors.

چکیده
This study examines the effects of 3-5 weeks of physical rest on selected physical, physiological and psychological parameters obtained from 12 Olympic but latterly underperforming competitors and their matched control subjects. Cardiorespiratory data were directly determined from their work to volitional exhaustion on either a treadmill, cycle, or rowing ergometer. Anaerobic power and capacity were evaluated through modified Wingate tests. For psychometric assessments, the Profile of Mood States (POMS) was used. For the Olympic competitors, one-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant increases (p less than 0.05) in body weight, maximum respiratory exchange ratio, maximum oxygen consumption, and heart rate at the anaerobic threshold, following the rest period. There was also a significant reduction in fatigue and mood profile score, and a significant increase in vigour. No significant changes were found in the matched control subjects. The present data show that resting for 3-5 weeks assists underperforming elite competitors to improve their aerobic performance.

متن کاملAn Analysis Method of Tactics in Karate Matches Using a Bayesian Network Model
This study proposes a model using a Bayesian network to understand tactical behavior in Karate matches. The model is a probabilistic causal model consisting of the states of two competitors engaged in combat. Each state node of the model outputs a probability distribution of the occurrence of offensive, defensive, and evaluative actions. Using the model, we also propose an analysis method of Ka...
