ABSTRACT - DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.16703.02728
Strength training programs for basketball players must work on its different manifestations: strength endurance, hypertrophy, maximum strength, power, and power endurance. Complex training is a pedagogical methodology aimed at developing muscle power. A feature of the complex training is the use of
biomechanically similar paired exercises alternating high loads at low speed with low loads at high speed. Complex training elicits two known phenomena, namely: PAP (post-activation potentiation) and PAPE (post-activation performance enhancement). For a more adequate prescription of complex training, it is necessary to understand the potentiation and inhibition factors of these two phenomena, as well as the variables and mechanisms associated with them. Also, scientific researches about the complex training in basketball players are presented.

DISTRIBUTION OF FIGHT TIME AND BREAK TIME IN INTERNATIONAL SILAT COMPETITIONNizam Shapie
Silat is a traditional martial art of that has evolved in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam. Silat has evolved into a formal martial art that is now officially included in the South East Asia Games.
Performance analysis has been used as a research tool to investigate various aspects of different combat sports. In professional boxing, Hughes and Franks (2004) described a system for analysis of punch types used. Other combat sports where performance analysis has investigated the action of competitors include Taekwondo (Wojtaś et al., 2007) and mixed martial arts (Williams and O’Donoghue, 2006).
Time-motion analysis is an objective observational analysis technique used to investigate work-rate in sport and exercise (O’Donoghue, 2008). The simplest computerized analysis system records periods of work and rest perceived by the observer (O’Donoghue et al., 2005a).
There is little work on work-rate in martial arts, especially Silat. The purpose of this investigation was to identify periods of fight time and break time within rounds of international Silat contests.

Training load monitoring can inform decisions at multiple levels of athlete management, from long-term season planning to in-session adjustments. At a long-term level, load monitoring can be used to understand an athlete's profile over multiple seasons, identify high stress periods, and plan for sport-specific demands. In the short-term, load data can help evaluate daily training plans, assess an athlete's response and progression, and determine if injury risks are elevated. While load data provides useful insights, it cannot predict injury on its own and should not be used in an overly risk-averse manner that restricts important training. Practitioners must consider numerous contextual factors for each athlete to properly interpret and apply load monitoring information.
Basketball players are subject to the most varied types of musculoskeletal injuries. These injuries can occur in training and competitions. Most of the injuries that affect basketball players are acute (traumatic) or chronic (overuse). When the player is affected by an injury, he needs a rehabilitation process. At the final moment of rehabilitation, physical re-conditioning occurs, consisting of three phases, arranged as follows: return to training, return to sport and return to performance. The strength and conditioning coach is the professional responsible for conducting the re-conditioning of the basketaball player, observing progression criteria established in each phase of the process aiming at the return to athletic performance. The overall re-conditioning process is athlete-centered and dependent on the type of injury.

Abstract: The modern age of sports is the excellence, so in every sports perfection and purification of skill has
got its immense importance. Biomechanics is an applied form of mechanics and consequently the method used
to investigate it must be derived from those of mechanics. Biomechanics aim to explain the mechanics of life.
Sports biomechanics have also generated other efforts at improving athletic performance in different games and
sports; it is helpful to minimize sports injuries through both identifying dangerous practice and designing safer
equipment and apparel. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of selected biomechanical
variables with the hitting performance in softball.

The Analysis of Plyometric Training Program on University Handball PlayersIOSR Journals
This study analyzed the effects of a 16-week plyometric training program on 21 university handball players. Testing was conducted before, during, and after the program to measure changes in explosive power and speed/force capabilities. While explosive power metrics like vertical jump height did not significantly improve, speed/force metrics like medicine ball throws saw reliable gains, especially in female players. The program was effective at improving handball players' ability to perform repeated maximal height jumps quickly, an important skill in the sport. The study demonstrates that plyometric training can boost speed/force abilities more than explosive power in handball players.
This document summarizes the results of physiological and anthropometric tests conducted on a male collegiate volleyball player. Testing included measures of height, weight, body composition, vertical jump height, drop jump height, 5m and 10m sprint times, and performance on a Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test. The athlete's results were generally higher or better than values reported for elite national volleyball teams, despite the athlete being shorter than average for the sport. This suggests that the athlete's extensive strength and conditioning program, with a focus on lower body power and plyometrics, has allowed him to outperform taller athletes. While genetics may play a role in his height, training appears to be a major factor in his physical capabilities. Further improvements could

Activity during action time in international Silat competitionNizam Shapie
The distribution of fight time and break time has been determined for National Silat competition (Shapie et al., 2008). Typically 62.6% of the bout is spent in fight time with 30.0 action periods of 15.3 s being performed with break periods averaging 8.4 s. This suggests that Silat exponents are accustomed to numerous of high force intensity action alternating with lower intensity movements throughout match. This information gives an indication of the nature of work and recovery periods within this level of the sport. However, the intensity of the work periods within any sport depends on the nature of the activity being performed. Therefore, the purpose of the current case study was to describe the detailed activity that occurs during the fight time of a Silat bout.

This document summarizes an assessment of speed, agility and quickness (SAQ) for 6 competitive tennis athletes. Initial SAQ tests of 10-yard sprint, T-test and three-cone test were conducted and then retested after 4 weeks of training. All athletes improved their times across the 3 tests, with improvements ranging from 0.01 to 2 seconds. The assessments support focusing training on directional movement patterns to improve SAQ for tennis athletes.
This document compares the anthropometric, physical fitness, and physiological profiles of the top 5 ranked and lower ranked Iranian national male table tennis players. It found that there were no significant differences between the groups in height, flexibility, speed, reaction time, anaerobic power, and BMI. However, the top players had significantly higher weight, side jump performance, aerobic power, and mesomorph body type compared to the lower ranked players who had higher body fat and an endomorph-mesomorph body type. The study concludes that a mesomorph-ectomorph body type is dominant in table tennis players and that aerobic power is an important factor for success.
This document summarizes and reviews two articles about training methods in badminton. The first article examines the relationship between physical characteristics and performance level in male badminton players. It found that arm strength, leg strength, agility, flexibility, and spine/wrist flexibility were important factors. The second article analyzed characteristics of competitive badminton players through measuring blood lactate concentration, heart rate, playing time and video analysis. It concluded that badminton requires fast movements and a high aerobic capacity to sustain intense intervals of play over 30 minutes. Both articles highlight the importance of addressing physical fitness, technical skills and the cardiovascular system for badminton training and performance.

The document summarizes a study that analyzed the effects of learning gymnastic skills through video modeling combined with physical education sessions among Tunisian secondary school students. 103 students were divided into an experimental group that received video modeling lessons and a control group. Measures were taken before and after. The results showed that the experimental group improved gymnastic performance significantly more than the control group. Specifically, the progression of performance was higher for girls compared to boys in the experimental group. The study demonstrates that learning through video modeling can effectively help students acquire and improve gymnastic skills.
Effect of plyometric training on sand versus grass on muscle soreness and jum...Fernando Farias
This study compared the effects of 4 weeks of plyometric training performed on either sand or grass surfaces in 37 soccer players. Jumping ability and sprinting performance were assessed before and after training. Players who trained on sand experienced less muscle soreness over the training period compared to those who trained on grass, but the training effects on jumping and sprinting differed between surfaces. Training on grass led to greater improvements in countermovement jump height and utilization of elastic energy, while training on sand showed greater improvements in squat jump height. Both surfaces improved sprinting performance similarly. Therefore, different training surfaces may be associated with different training adaptations in neuromuscular factors related to the stretch-shortening cycle.

Plyometric training on sand improved both
jumping and sprinting ability and induced less muscle
soreness. A grass surface seems to be superior in
enhancing CMJ performance while the sand surface
showed a greater improvement in SJ. Therefore,
plyometric training on different surfaces may be
associated with different training-induced effects on some
neuromuscular factors related to the efficiency of the
stretch-shortening cycle.
Flywheel training in football for injury prevention and performanceJari Puustinen
The document discusses using flywheel training for injury prevention and performance in football. It describes how flywheels can provide eccentric overload training through the entire range of motion compared to free weights. A 10-week training program for junior elite soccer players using flywheels twice per week reduced muscle injury rates and improved jumping and sprinting abilities. For in-season training, a weekly 25-minute high-intensity session incorporating flywheels improved change of direction ability in football players.

The document analyzes and compares the biomechanics of the one-handed and two-handed backhand techniques using 3D motion analysis software. Two university tennis players performed backhands and the motion of their elbows, shoulders, and trunks were recorded. The results show some key differences between the techniques. For the elbow, the one-handed backhand exhibits more extension during impact and follow-through, while the two-handed backhand remains flexed. At the shoulders, both techniques extend during impact and follow-through, but the one-handed backhand shows more rapid extension. For the trunk, the one-handed backhand demonstrates greater extension during impact and mid-follow-through compared to the two-handed

Indian Premier League (IPL) ---2024.pptxrathinikunj60
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most prominent and lucrative Twenty20 (T20) cricket leagues in the world. Since its inception in 2008, the IPL has revolutionized the landscape of cricket by blending sports, entertainment, and commerce. This summary provides an overview of the IPL's history, structure, notable performances, controversies, and its impact on cricket and beyond.
History and Formation
The IPL was launched by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2008, inspired by the success of domestic T20 leagues like the English T20 Cup and the now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL). Lalit Modi, the then Vice-President of BCCI, played a crucial role in conceptualizing and launching the league. The inaugural season kicked off in April 2008 with eight franchises representing different cities in India.
Structure and Format
The IPL follows a franchise-based model, where teams are owned by a mix of corporations, Bollywood stars, and other high-profile individuals. The league originally started with eight teams, although the number has fluctuated over the years due to various reasons including expansions and terminations. As of the latest seasons, the IPL features ten teams.
The tournament format includes a double round-robin stage, where each team plays the others twice, followed by playoffs. The top four teams from the round-robin stage qualify for the playoffs, which consist of two qualifiers, an eliminator, and the final. This format ensures a highly competitive and engaging tournament, culminating in a grand finale to crown the champion.
Teams and Their Evolution
The founding teams of the IPL were:
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals)
Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings)
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Mumbai Indians (MI)
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Deccan Chargers (now defunct, replaced by Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Over the years, the league has seen new teams such as Pune Warriors India, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Gujarat Lions, and Rising Pune Supergiant. The most recent additions are the Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants, introduced in the 2022 season.
Iconic Players and Performances
The IPL has attracted the best talent from around the world, with numerous iconic players making significant contributions. Some of the standout performers include:
Sachin Tendulkar (MI): The "Little Master" brought his legendary status to the IPL, winning the Orange Cap (top run-scorer) in 2010.
Chris Gayle (RCB, KXIP): Known for his explosive batting, Gayle holds the record for the highest individual score in an IPL match (175*).
MS Dhoni (CSK): Dhoni's leadership has been instrumental in CSK's success, leading them to multiple titles.
AB de Villiers (RCB): Renowned for his innovative stroke play, de Villiers has been a consistent match-winner.
Virat Kohli (RCB): The highest run-scorer in IPL history, Kohli's batting prowess is unmatched.

Abstract
The study objective was determined the duration of the tactical action and of the attack action and the
energy metabolism during the female kumite and of the male kumite. The qualifying matches in team (total of
fights: 14) was filmed during the 13th Brazilian championship of shotokan karate. In notebook, the researcher
determined the time of the action during the kumite with software KinoveaTM (version 0.8.15). The scout was
used to write the action that occurred in the fight. The female kumite had the following results: 8,58±8 seconds
in tactical action, 2,66±1,71 seconds in attack action and 15,33±15,01 seconds in break of the fight by referee.
The male kumite had the following results: 11,40±10 seconds in tactical action, 1,75±0,70 seconds in attack
action and 18,68±18 seconds in break of the fight by referee. Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA noted significant difference
(p≤0,05) between the duration of the efforts during the kumite, H (5) = 820,66. The Mann-Whitney U test, used
as post hoc, detected significant difference (p≤0,05) in all comparisons. The female kumite versus the male
kumite had the following results: female tactical action x male tactical action (U = 7,42), female attack action x
male attack action (U = 2,03) and female break of the fight by referee x male break of the fight by referee (U =
6,76). Female kumite had 89% of effort aerobic and 11% in anaerobic metabolism alactic. Male kumite had 43%
of effort anaerobic alactic and 57% in aerobic metabolism. In conclusion, determine the effort during the kumite
is important for the coach elaborates the training.

Introduction
The shotokan karate style was developed by the Japanese and master Gichin Funakoshi on
the island of Okinawa1. Shotokan karate is a fight with punches, kicks and defenses during the
competition and during the self-defense2. The kumite of the shotokan karate is a high intensity
fight because the technique of offensive and defensive consists of fast action lasting few
seconds3. Marques Junior4 informed that the decisive actions during the kumite occur in few
seconds. The punches with higher index score are the gyaku zuki, the kizami zuki and the oi
zuki5 and the kicks with most points in karate are the mae geri and the mawashi geri. These
punches and kicks are performed at high speed in the fight.
The offensive techniques of the shotokan karate must be performed at high speed to result
in attack point and avoid the counter attack of the opponent6. The fast action of the karate is in
anaerobic metabolism alactic with intermittent activity (effort and pause) because, after the
offensive technique of an karateka, the referee stops kumite and determines the point attack
2. (ippon – perfect attack or waza-ari – efficient attack) or if there is no score in the attack7. The
literature of the shotokan karate determines that during the kumite occurs the tactical action
(the study of the karateka before of the attack) in aerobic metabolism and occurs the attack
action (moment of the offensive karate technique) in anaerobic metabolism alactic8-10.
However, studies of the shotokan karate11-13 have not determined the difference in duration
of effort during the kumite male versus the kumite female. The action of male kumite attack is
faster than the female kumite? The tactical action of female kumite takes longer than the male
kumite? Known these questions, the objective was to determine the duration of the tactical
action and of the attack action during the female kumite and of the male kumite. The study also
had the objective of determine the energy metabolism during the female kumite and of the
male kumite.
Material and methods
Sample, data collection and data analysis
The qualifying matches in team (total of fights: 14, 7 female kumites and 7 male kumites)
was filmed during the 13th Brazilian championship of shotokan karate JKA of 2012 (Key: JKA =
Japan Karate Association). The JKA is responsible by research and teaching of the karate. The
JKA is authorized by the Ministry of Education of the Japan to conduct championship. The fights
were filmed by digital camera Sony® handycam, model DCR-SX20 on the tripod Mirage®. The
data were collected in a gymnasium, at a distance of 2 meters and a height of 3 meters. The
fights took place from 11 to 15 hours, at a temperature of 26ºC in autumn of Rio de Janeiro,
capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The filming occurred in the following order: female
team kumite (total of fights = 3), female team kumite (total of fights = 3), female team kumite
(total of fights = 1), male team kumite (total of fights = 3), male team kumite (total of fights =
3) and the male team kumite (total of fights = 1). The duration of the filming of the fights is
shown in table 1.
3. Table 1. Duration of the filming
The film team kumite was copied from the camera trough the wire to the ACER® notebook,
model 4320. In notebook, the researcher determined the time of the tactical action, the time of
the attack action and the time of the break of the fight by referee with software KinoveaTM
(version 0.8.15, www.kinovea.org/en/). Software KinoveaTM was used in the study of Silva et
alii14. The scout adapted from Oslin et alii15 was used to the notes of the action occurred in the
fight (velocity and duration). Tactical actions and the attack actions were classified according to
the effort in the fight (velocity and time in action). Knowing the effort in kumite, the researcher
determined the energy metabolism during the combat of the shotokan karate. Based in Fox et
alii16, Janssen17, Marques Junior18,19, the characteristics energy metabolism is shown in table 2.
Table 2. Energy metabolism

Statistical Analysis
Results are expressed as means±standard deviations and percentage. The normality of data
was assessed by the Shapiro Wilk test (p≤0,05). In case of data normal, the difference during
the actions of the kumite were analyzed using an One-Way ANOVA with results accepted a level
of significance of p≤0,05. Where a significant difference was found, a Scheffé post hoc test was
used with results accepted a level of significance of p≤0,05. When the results have significant
difference the research calculated the effect size (ES) in accordance with Dancey and Reidy20
(ES = [Mean – Mean]: Mean of the Standard Deviation). In case of data not normal, the
difference during the actions of the kumite was analyzed using a Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA H test
with results accepted a level of significance of p≤0,05. Where a significant difference was found,
the Mann-Whitney U test was used as post hoc with results accepted a level of significance of
p≤0,05. The results with significant difference the research calculated the effect size (ES) in
accordance with Dancey and Reidy20 (ES = [Mean – Mean]: Mean of the Standard Deviation).
All the figures were calculated according to the procedures of the Windows 7.

Discussion
The kumite of the shotokan karate JKA has duration from 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2
minutes. The attack action of the female kumite (2,66±1,71 seconds) and of the male kumite
(1,75±0,70 seconds) occurred in high velocity and the alactic anaerobic metabolism
predominated. The result of this study is in accordance with the literature of the karate21. The
study by the Mann-Whitney U test detected significant difference (p≤0,05) in attack action,
male kumite had the attack action faster than the female kumite. The references of karate22,23
do not determine the difference in seconds of the attack action of the female kumite versus the
male kumite.
The tactical action of the female kumite occurred from low to medium velocity and the
aerobic metabolism predominated during 8,58±8 seconds. The result of the female kumite
during the tactical action is in accordance with the literature of the shotokan karate8. However,
the tactical action of the male kumite occurred at high velocity and the anaerobic metabolism
alactic was the predominant during 11,40±10 seconds. By adding the times (measured in
seconds) of the tactical action (11 seconds) with the attack action (~ 2 seconds) was obtained
13 seconds in anaerobic metabolism alactic. The male kumite took place at high intensity. This
is in accordance with Maughan et alii24.
The high intensity of the male kumite (tactical action and attack action) and small period of
recovery in aerobic metabolism (break of the fight by referee of 18,68±18 seconds) causes a
resynthesis insufficient of the anaerobic metabolism alactic. The literature about recovery of the
ATP-CP (adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate) during the sprint training determined
a pause from 30 seconds to 5 minutes25,26. The relation between the anaerobic alactic effort (E)
and the aerobic pause (P) of the male kumite was of 1:1 (E: P, 13 seconds of effort: ~ 19
8. seconds of pause). Probably the male karateka used the anaerobic metabolism lactic because
he practiced an incomplete resynthesis of the ATP-CP. Roschel et alii3 suggested that during the
male kumite occurred some contribution of the anaerobic metabolism lactic. Others studies
confirmed that male kumite had some contribution of the anaerobic metabolism lactic27,28.
The relation between the anaerobic alactic effort (E) and the aerobic pause (P) during the
female kumite was of 1:8. The duration of the attack action during the female kumite
approached 3 seconds. The pause of the female kumite occurred with an active phase (tactical
action of ~ 9 seconds) and a passive phase (break of the fight by referee of 15 seconds) in
aerobic metabolism (Aerobic Metabolism = 9 seconds + 15 seconds = 24 seconds). Effort and
pause (1:8, 3 seconds of effort: 24 seconds of active and passive pause) of the female kumite
resulted in resysnthesis of the ATP-CP because the anaerobic alactic phase was small and the
active and passive pause lasted the next 30 seconds (30 = 50% of resynthesis of the ATP-CP).
Some studies determined that the pause duration between 15 to 20 seconds causes
resysnthesis of the ATP-CP wich optimizes the performance of the athlete during the anaerobic
alactic training29,30.
The study had a limitation, a scout was used to determine the anaerobic phase and the
aerobic phase during the female kumite and the male kumite. However, this study may be only
research on the duration in seconds of the three moments of the female kumite and of the male
kumite (tactical action, attack action and break of the fight by referee).
Conclusion
In female kumite and in male kumite, the study demonstrated that attack action occurs in a
few seconds, at high velocity and during the anaerobic metabolism alactic. The tactical action of
the male kumite occurred in anaerobic metabolism alactic. The relation between effort and
pause of the female kumite was of 1:8 and of the male kumite was of 1:1.
The predominance in anaerobic metabolism alactic (1 to 15 seconds) during the training of
the karateka is important for the session has the same energy metabolism of the karate fight.
Session in anaerobic metabolism alactic has 1 to 10 repetitions and 2 to 5 sets. The pause for
the female karateka needs of passive rest (break of the fight by referee) and/or active rest
(tactical action) lasting from 24 seconds (≅ 30% of resynthesis of the ATP-CP) to 4 minutes
(100% of resynthesis of the ATP-CP) for occur the resynthesis of the ATP-CP. But the pause for
the male karateka needs of passive rest (break of the fight by referee) during 10 or 19 seconds
to 4 minutes for result in complete resynthesis of ATP-CP or incomplete. The incomplete
resynthesis of ATP-CP during the training causes in next stimulus a work in the anaerobic
metabolism lactic.
9. Forteza31 recommended the relation effort and pause for prescription of the metabolic
training, can be used in shotokan karate: anaerobic alactic with 1:3 or 1:2, anaerobic lactic with
1:2 or 1:1 and aerobic metabolism with 1:½ or 1:1.
In conclusion, determine the effort during the kumite is important for the coach elaborates
the training.
