In the field of sports sciences and especially sports physiology, one of the most important and interesting topics is the estimation of the composition of the muscle fiber types, especially among the athletes, so the main approach of this research was to find out the relationship between the number of repetitions and the parameters obtained from th...
Our objective was designing and producing a mechanical starting block and then compare the results with routine starting
block in sprinting. A 2D sketch was designed using SOLIDWORKS Software. The body of the starting block with
dimensions of 75×22×7 cm was developed with iron alloys during two stages. Starting block pedals were designed and
manufa...
The purpose of this exploratory descriptive study was to designing and producing a reaction time platform for swimming start block. The participants consisted of 25 male swimmers had been training background at least three years, with mean age of 18.481±2.32 years mean body mass 64.31±7.65 mean height 174±5.39cm and mean body mass index 21.07± 1.97...
Fatigue along with pronated feet during running are possible risk factors for injuries. Motion control shoes were designed
to limit excessive foot motion in runners, but its clinical efficacy has not been well reported. This study investigated the
ground reaction force characteristics in novice female runners with pronated feet during running with...
Objective:
Unaccustomed and intense eccentric exercise is a common cause of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). There are multiple remedies for the treatment of DOMS, but its clinical and laboratory pieces of evidence are scarce. Currently, the treatments proposed for DOMS are numerous and include pharmaceuticals, herbal remedies, stretching, ma...

Abstract
In our technological world, there are plenty of opportunities to use science and
engineering to enhance athlete performances. The Dynamometer is a scientific
instrument designed to measure the muscle strength. The aim of this project was...
Crocus sativus, commonly known as saffron, is a rich source of carotenoids with many health benefits. The muscular strength, pulmonary function, and reaction time are vital to the athlete's performance, and this study aimed to investigate an ergogenic effect of saffron. Twenty-eight nonactive and healthy male university students were randomly assig...
Objective: Effect of peppermint on exercise performance was previously investigated but equivocal findings exist. This study aimed to investigate the effects of peppermint ingestion on the physiological parameters and exercise performance after 5 min and 1 h.
Materials and Methods: Thirty healthy male university students were randomly divided int...
ABSTRACT Ghavoot is a traditional natural energizer in Iran. It is a mixture of different plant seeds that is traditionally used for its energogenic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-anxiety properties. Nevertheless, its ergogenic effect has never been studied. Twenty two healthy male students were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 1...
Objective: Very recent studies have reported positive effects of dietary nitrate on the oxygen consumption during exercise. This research aimed to study the effect of moderate dose of high-nitrate vegetables, watercress (Nasturtium officinale) and red radish (Raphanus sativus) compared with a control group on the incremental treadmill exercise test...
Objective:
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) often occurs after unaccustomed eccentric exercise and reduces exercise performance. We aimed to study the preventive effects of saffron and indomethacin on the biochemical and functional indicators of DOMS after 1-session eccentric exercise.
Design:
A 10-day, randomized, double-blind, placebo-cont...
ABSTRACT: Current study aimed at Comparison of running time in anaerobic threshold to exhaustion stage in active and inactive boys. For this, two examining groups, including one active group from athlete student boys (N=10) with age range (21.1±1.37 years), body mass index (24.09±3.53 kilogram per square meter),percent fat:16.5±2.97%, resting heart...
Background
Enhancing athletic performance is a great desire among the athletes, coaches and researchers. Mint is one of the most famous natural herbs used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antioxidant, and vasoconstrictor effects. Even though inhaling mint aroma in athletes has been investigated, there were no significant effects...
Quantification of exercise performance is crucial in the professional training of the elite athletes. Accelerometry method is the best objective, inexpensive, and non-obstructive technique for measuring physical activity. A physical activity-monitoring system (PAMS) (6 × 4 × 1.5 cm, 25 g) was designed and developed using a three-axis accelerometer...
Aim:
The aim of the present study was to compare determined heart rate deflection point (HRDP) by the long distance maximum (L.Dmax), short distance maximum (S.Dmax) and plasma lactate measurements as criterion.
Methods:
Fifteen healthy and active male volunteers, aged 20-24, were selected as subjects and performed the exhaustive testing protoco...
LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese. The purpose of this study was to develop a regression equation to predict maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) based on non-exercise (N-EX) data and to investigate the validity of these equations in healthy young men. One hundred healthy men (age: 18-26 years) were randomly separate...
Purslane is the richest vegetable source of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidant nutrients. This is the first attempt to elucidate the possible effects of Purslane extract on muscle soreness. To examine the preventive effects of Purslane extract on delayed muscle soreness (DOMS) following one session eccentric exercise, twenty healthy non-athlete st...
Application of Novel Inertial Technique to Compare the Kinematics and Kinetics of the Legs in the Soccer Instep Kick
The kinematic and kinetic parameters of dominant and non-dominant legs examined with a new technology on 15 male, university soccer players in the field. A sensor module with special configuration of accelerometers placement, connect...
The present study describes the development of a tri-axial accelerometer Physical Activity Monitoring system (PAMs) for the assessment of daily physical activity amplitude and frequency ranges and estimate energy expenditure. The PAMs is a wireless and small portable data-logger system that uses a selective and high range (±2.5 - ±10 g) tri-axial M...
In sports biomechanics, videography provided an indirect measurement method for measuring sport movements. However, these techniques are expensive, bulky and not portable. A novel inertial data logger designed to record the linear and rotational movements in three axes at 200 Hz and save the data on a memory card. A custom PC software was developed...
