The Effects of Plyometric and Resistance Training on Explosive Power and Strength of Young Male Volleyball Players
Ramin Aghajani, Zahra Hojjati, Alireza Elmiyeh,
year 2, Issue 1 (Spring 2014)
Abstract

This paper examines the effects of plyometric and resistance training on the explosive power and the amount of young male volleyball players’ strength in Guilan province. The participants include 45 volleyball players, 15-22 years old, which were randomly divided into three groups: two training groups and one control group. Among the two training groups, one was engaged in plyometric and the other in resistance exercise training (six weeks, two times per week).The control group was doing its common volleyball training. Variables under measurement consist of strength and explosive power. We found that after a six weeks training, there were significant differences between the average of explosive power and strength in both groups of plyometric and resistance training in comparison to control group (P≤0.05). The researcher observed that there was a significant difference in the average of explosive power and strength within both plyometric and weight groups from pre to post-test (p≤0.05). The amount of improvement in resistance training group was more than plyometric group.


Health-related Physical Fitness in Children with Mental Retardation
Fazel Bazyar, Ramin Shabani, Alireza Elmiyeh,
year 2, Issue 4 (Winter 2014)
Abstract
Human health is highly dependent on the condition of health-related physical fitness and particularly body composition. Adolescence is unique in this regard, especially when the adolescents are mentally retarded, about whom information on physical fitness is limited. Thus, the objective of this paper was to study the components of health-related physical fitness with emphasis on body composition and weight gain and loss in mentally retarded students of Roodbar. Statistical sample included 91 mentally retarded male students with mean age of 13.44±1.56, mean height of 167±6.97, and mean IQ of 68.7±7.8. Physical fitness components were assessed using modified Brockport Physical Fitness Test (BPFT) including cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition (by calculation of body mass index). The results indicated that in terms of body mass index, 40% of participants were underweight, 10% were overweight, and 10% were obese. In addition, body fat percentage was high in 11.9% of subjects and very high in 13% of them. The mean aerobic power of mentally retarded boys aged 12-14 was measured 31.5% (ml/kg/min), indicating 25% and 35% lower physical fitness, respectively, compared to their normal peers and the reference values. The present study revealed that a significant proportion of mentally retarded adolescents in Roodbar are suffering from either underweight or overweight. Moreover, their physical fitness in all components is not desirable compared to their normal peers.
Comparative Analysis of Lower Limb Alignments in Healthy Subjects and Subjects with Back Pain
Ramin Balouchy,
year 3, Issue 2 (Summer 2015)
Abstract
The objective of the present study was to comparatively analyze the clinical status of the lower limbs in healthy subjects and subjects with back pain. Forty three (43) male and female subjects with average age of 36.91± 3.97 were selected as the statistical sample of the study. This population was recognized intelligently by utilizing the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). Furthermore, the NMQ was used to designate 43 male and female subjects with average age of 37.88 ± 4.12 and similar anthropometric characteristics with the statistical population as the research control sample. In the next phase, tibial torsion and femoral torsion angles were measured using a goniometer. Foot typicality was designated using a foot arch index while intercondylar and intermalleolar distances were measured using a clinical caliper. The results depict that the size of the foot arch is steeper in people with back pains compared to those with flat foot arch (p<0.05). It also indicates that there is no significant correlation between the tibia, femur torsion, knee condition of the healthy subjects and subjects with back pain. Therefore, it is deduced that steep foot arch can be a key component in the generation of back pains.
Development of Brand Community in Iranian New Sport Teams
Amin Rayat, Mehdi Rayat, Layla Rayat,
year 5, Issue 1 (Special Issues 2017)
Abstract

Background. Through years of spectator interaction, historical moments, heroic performances, and the creation of traditions or rituals, these established teams are excellent examples of brand communities. For newly introduced teams, these elements are likely to be in short supply and many of them struggle to build a community around their sport team.

Objectives. This study explored brand community markers in the context of newly established sport teams.

Methods. We examined whether managers of new sports teams Utilize group experience, organizational history, ritual/traditions and physical facility in their branding strategies. A case study approach was used; featuring both interviews with managers of three newly established Iran professional sports teams and direct observations of games.

Results. The findings revealed managers generally considered group experience, history and heritage, ritual/traditions and physical facility to be important, but they failed to implement and apply these mechanisms to an overall marketing strategy. Evidence of the four mechanisms was only apparent on an infrequent and fragmented basis. Promotion of these antecedents was largely absent from the team’s branding strategies.

Conclusion. This is the first study to extend the study of brand communities from successful and established brands to new organizations and explored how the different mechanisms relate to this.

Banafsheh Amin, Mohammad Karimi,
year 5, Issue 1 (Special Issues 2017)
Abstract

Background. Maximal Aerobic Power is related to many quantities and qualities such as supplements.

Objectives. The purpose of the present study was to describe the effect of short-term supplementation of glutamine and glucose on hemoglobin and maximum aerobic power in female athletes.

Methods. In this quasi-experimental study, 40 female athletes (age 21.9±2.6 years, height 161.8±5.1 cm, weight 57.8±6.3 kg, BMI 21.9±1.5 kg/m2) volunteered to participate in the present study. Before intervention, the participants were divided randomly into four equal groups (each group=10); placebo, glutamine supplement (0.3 g/kg body weight), glucose supplement (1.0 g/kg body weight) and glutamine-glucose combination supplement. VO2max measured using Bruce protocol and also, hemoglobin concentrations were measured via blood sampling at 12h fasting state. The experimental groups did two-week supplementation accompanied with moderate intensity aerobic exercise, three sessions per week and (45-60) minutes per session. At the end of period of supplementation VO2max and hemoglobin values were measured again.

Results. Short-term supplementation of glutamine (P=0.0001), glucose (P=0.0001) and glutamine-glucose (P=0.0001) improved significantly VO2max values. Also, hemoglobin levels increased significantly in glutamine (P=0.012) and glutamine-glucose (P=0.0001) groups.

Conclusion. It seems that short-term supplementation of glutamine, glucose and glutamine-glucose may lead to improvement in aerobic performance in young female athletes.

Seyed Ramin Haghighizade, Morteza Jiryaei Sharahi, Seyed Mahmood Mirhoseini, Maryam Mousavi,
year 5, Issue 3 (Autumn 2017)
Abstract
Background. Beach soccer is one of the most well-known international sports in the world. The laws of the game were introduced by some associations and today they are covered by FIFA. There are also certain rules for the selection of beach soccer sand, but the specifications are too simple and rough. Thus, a wide range of sand types falls in the acceptable range of FIFA.
Objectives. In this study, an investigation is conducted to identify the effective parameters of beach soccer sand that affect the acceptability and quality of sand. The aim of this study is to determine which type of sand is more in accordance with the expectations of beach soccer players.
Methods. This study is based on the results of a survey on 10 players of the national beach soccer team of Iran. The questionnaire includes questions about different aspects of sand quality at a number of beach soccer grounds. The sand samples are consequently compared by considering their gradations and particle shapes. A number of recommendations are presented in order to select high-quality sand for the purpose of beach soccer ground coverage.
Results. The results are examined using numerical simulations. Finally, after conducting several tests and survey and gathering regional data, a simple and reliable method for ranking sand types used in beach soccer ground coverage is presented. The method can accurately predict the score of each sand sample by using the input data of gradation test, roundness test, and regional data. The sand types are scored according to the level of the match.
Conclusion. In this manner, the grounds of beach soccer can be standardized using the presented ranking method.

Abstract
Background. One of the most important elements of life are physical activity and sport: these are the basis of health during life. In order for society to benefit from the advantages of physical activity and sport, it is necessary to know the factors influencing this phenomenon.
Objectives. The purpose of this paper is to design a sport development model in the free trade-industrial zones of Iran.
Methods. The research was qualitative, and was done using the grounded theory approach and based on the systematic approach of Strauss and Corbin (1998). The geographic area of the research included seven free trade trade-industrial zones of Iran; the data collection tool was a semi-structured interview. Participants in the research were the sport authorities of Iran’s free zone, sport officers, officers of the Ministry of Sport and Youth of free zones, staff members of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, and sports professors; interviews involved 22 informed persons.
Results. The results of data coding showed that causal factors (individual, interpersonal, and structural) centrally affect sport development. Cultural, social, economic, political, technological, legal, and environmental factors were also selected as context and interventional factors. Development of management; development of space, equipment, and great sports events; cultural and social development; scientific and legal development; and development of financial resources were designated as strategies for the development of sport, which will also lead to economic, cultural, social, environmental, and political consequences.
Conclusion. Given the positive outcomes for the development of sport, it can be useful as an effective tool in achieving the major goals of Iran’s free trade-industrial zones.

year 8, Issue 4 (Winter Supplementary 2020)
Abstract
Background. Hormone disorders, stress-oxidative and inflammation in ovarian tissue cause no- ovulation in women with polycyclic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Several studies have shown the role of exercises in control of sex hormones.
Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of swimming training (ST) on serum levels of sex hormones, antioxidant enzymes and oxidative damage of DNA ovarian tissue in rats with PCOS.
Methods. In this experimental study, 30 female Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups included control, PCO (letrozole consumption for 28 days intra- peritoneally) and PCO+ST groups. PCOS was induced with 28 days of peritoneal injection of 1 mg/kg letrozole. The ST program was included 6 weeks of ST for 20 minutes per day. At the end of the treatment period, serum levels of LH, FSH, testosterone, estradiol and progesterone, SOD, CAT, GPX, MDA and HOdG-8 in ovarian tissue were measured by ELISA method.
Results. ST significantly decreased serum levels of LH, estradiol, testosterone, MDA and HOdG-8 levels (p<0.05) as well as increased SOD, CAT, and GPX enzymes of rats with PCOS (p<0.05).
Conclusion. It appears that ST has antioxidant and sex hormone enhancing effects in ovarian tissue of rats with PCOS model.

Zahra Aminiroshan, Seyed Morteza Azimzadeh, Mahdi Talebpour, Majid Ghoshuni,
year 9, Issue 1 (Spring 2021)
Abstract
Background. Attention is considered as a resource for storing and processing memory activities. Without attention, no perceptual processing takes place in the brain as the information (whether visual or auditory) cannot enter the brain.
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the attention of individuals to sports and non-sports advertising using brain activities.
Methods. It was a quasi-experimental study investigating two advertisements (sports and non-sports) of Apple Company on 30 volunteers (15 men and 15 women). The Neuroguide software was used to convert electroencephalographic data to quantitative data. Repeated measures ANOVA was used for testing hypotheses in SPSS software.
Results. The results showed that there was a significant difference between watching sports and non-sports advertising on people's attention; in other words, sports advertising was able to reduce alpha in the frontal and pre-frontal brain while this decrease did not occur when viewing non-sports advertising. There was no significant difference in attention between men and women.
Conclusion. Sport has the potential to attract people's attention, which is one of the main goals of companies and industry owners and can attract more attention in people to the advertised product, resulting in better brand retention and recall, and thus increasing promotional product or brand purchases.

Abstract
Background. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has created an unprecedented and daunting challenge for humanity to survive. This has also affected the sporting events across the globe as the majority of the tournaments have been cancelled or postponed as a result. For life to return to pre-pandemic normalcy, an effective and safe vaccination program needs to be implemented, be readily accessible, widely available, and affordable at the same time.
Objectives. In this review, we analyze various challenges which demonstrate that COVID-19 is far from over.
Methods. A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed, ScienceDirect, Medline, Google Scholar, and Scopus from the commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic to 22 June 2021. The current report is a summary of data regarding challenges faced by the COVID-19 vaccination campaign and the challenges for a transition toward normalcy, especially for big sports events.
Results. The current COVID-19 pandemic has likely resulted in sporting events and tournaments being canceled, postponed, or held without or with restricted spectators around the world. A combination of measures including prompt vaccination with the beneficial impact of the vaccines in reducing the severity of disease, advances in treatment, expanded use of diagnostics and better implementation of public-health policies are a necessity. Following this implementation, a transition toward normality could be expected when the mortality rate of COVID-19 simulates the average influenza statistics, with public-health measures continuing to play an important role worldwide.
Conclusion. The authors believe that COVID-19 will be endemic in the human population, similar to seasonal influenza and that COVID-19 vaccines will be included as an add-on to seasonal influenza vaccinations, being administered every winter for at least the next few decades. With adequate vaccination, the sporting world will be able to withstand the challenges and resume global events, returning to pre-Covid levels of normalcy.

Abstract
Background. Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PF OA) is a leading cause of significant pain and disability of the knee joint. Stair climbing dysfunction is commonly reported in this cohort. Objectives. To compare the temporal muscle activation between females with PF OA and healthy controls during stair ascent and decide whether there is a link between altered core activity and Patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Methods. A comparative observational study was conducted on 31 females with PF OA and 11 healthy ones. The electromyographic onset times of vasti, gluteus medius (GM), multifidus, and transversus abdominus (TrA) muscles were measured during the initiation of the stair ascending task. Results. A non-significant difference was detected between females with PF OA and controls regarding the onset times of all tested muscles except for the multifidus muscle, which significantly delayed activation in the PF OA group. Conclusion. Females with patellofemoral osteoarthritis showed a significantly delayed multifidus activation during ascending stairs which indicated the neuromotor dysfunction of core muscles compared to healthy controls. Core stability may be of clinical significance in managing patients with patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Prospective longitudinal studies are recommended for prioritizing the dysfunction.

Abstract
Background. According to World Health Organization, the global population of diabetes is approximately 463 million people and is projected to exceed half a billion by 2030. There is currently no specific cure for diabetes, but the methods of control and management are advancing. The effect of exercise and physical activity on one of the latest involved factors, WISP-1 and WISP-2, is one of the therapeutic strategies.
Objectives. This study aims to answer the question of what effect circular resistance training has on WISP-1 and WISP-2 in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Methods. Among men with T2DM referred to the Diabetes Clinic of Towhid Hospital and the Diabetes Association of Sanandaj, a total of 20 eligible volunteers were randomly assigned to two groups of 10, control and experimental. Circuit resistance training was used in this study for eight weeks, with three non-consecutive sessions per week. The number of sets, intensity, and volume of exercise started with 2 sets at 40% of 1RM (one-repetition maximum) and 15 repetitions in the initial sessions and progressed to 4 sets at 80% of 1RM and 6 repetitions in the final sessions. Rest periods of 20 to 30 seconds between sets and 3 minutes between rounds were considered. WISP-1 and WISP-2 levels were measured via ELISA method.
Results. WISP-1 and -2 levels in the control group lake a significant change over time, its levels in the experimental group significantly decreased (p=0.029 and p=0.039, respectively).
Conclusion. Both WISP-1 and WISP-2 likely have an impact on the mechanisms of glucose homeostasis, insulin, insulin resistance, and body weight in individuals with T2DM.

year 14, Issue 1 (Continuously Updated 2026)
Abstract
Background. Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes motor deficits due to neuronal loss and impaired axonal regeneration. Neurotrophins and rehabilitation strategies such as exercise and FES may enhance neuroplasticity and recovery.
Objectives. We aimed to investigate the combined effects of aerobic exercise and functional electrical stimulation on NT-3, NT-4, and GDNF gene expression and locomotor recovery in a rat model of spinal cord injury.
Methods. Utilizing thirty-three adult male Wistar rats that were randomly assigned to five groups of healthy control, SCI control, SCI with exercise, SCI with FES, and SCI with combined exercise and FES, SCI induction was performed at the T11 vertebral level, where animals in the intervention groups underwent seven days of treadmill-based aerobic training and/or spinal electrical stimulation. The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scale was used to assess locomotor recovery. Gene expression levels of NT-3, NT-4, and GDNF were investigated using qRT-PCR.
Results. FES improved locomotor function at week 2 (P=0.03), while exercise was effective from week 4 (P=0.02). Combined therapy showed greatest recovery (week 6: F=93.74, P=0.002). NT-3, NT-4, and GDNF were significantly upregulated (p<0.01).
Conclusion. The combined administration of FES and aerobic exercises enhances motor recovery, resulting in upregulation of the expression of neurotrophic factors in SCI rats, holding promise as a therapeutic strategy for SCI rehabilitation.
