PREVENTION OF NEUROLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS OF COVID-19 BY PHYSICAL EXERCISE
Authors: Hagiu Bogdan Alexandru , Craciun Liviu Ciprian
Published: November 2023

The paper hypothesizes that atherosclerosis and / or heart failure may favor the neurological complications of COVID-19 via cerebral hypoxia -with the most affected structures being those that naturally express increased amounts of ACE2 in the brain and those adjacent to them. The hypothesis is supported by clinical and imaging arguments, as well as by the higher incidence of neurological complications of COVID-19 in patients with pre-existing neurological pathology and congestive heart failure. Prevention could be done once the SARS-CoV-2 infection has set in by multiple means e.g. medically (e.g. vasodilators, ACE2 blockers), use of oxygen therapy (however, the effectiveness and safety of administration are debatable) but especially before diagnosing the infection, by moderate intensity physical exercise, that activate genes /metabolic pathways promoting resistance of neurons to hypoxia. Aerobic exercise combined with breathing exercises can also prevent the expression of NRP1 and therefore the infection of astrocytes. Moderate intensity exercise could also be an effective secondary prophylaxis method, as it has been shown that COVID-19 could be a trigger for the atherosclerotic process.

This is changing, however, as new knowledge replaces old misconceptions.Finally, we can concluded, that the children strength training program is efficient and without risks, if it is conducted with proper supervision after the principles of gradually loading.
THE LEVEL OF PHYSICAL TRAINING SPECIFIC TO THE OPPOSITE PLAYER IN PERFORMANCE VOLLEYBALL
Authors: Matei Ciprian
Published: November 2023

In the training of players, the premise is that sportives are trainable and that their performance capacity level can be influenced in a positive way. Generally speaking, training in the field of a sports game, particularly in volleyball, is considered as a specialized process of development and formation of the personality of the player regarded both individually and as a member of the team.The training activity acts in the direction of increasing the player’s performance capacity. In the process of a physical training, we aim to develop at a higher level the basic physical qualities as well as those specific to the respective sports branch. As a remark we can say that with the improvement of sports mastery, the ability to reciprocally supplant motor qualities tends to be restricted and as a result all motor qualities must be developed, with emphasis on the dominant ones.Method: Motor and functional tests applied to 8 volleyball players playing as an opposite player (universal).Discussions: Looking at the most important opposite player in the A1 Male Volleyball Division, we could see that there are many situations where the lack of specific physical training at high level or at the level that is observed in stronger championships also betrays the level of training of our coaches. This can be regarded as one of the factors for which the level of playing and thus the performance recorded in our championship is often lower than the level of performance practiced in the strong championships of other countries, especially in Europe.Conclusions: The analyses carried out in the hereby research, as well as the clear proof of the potential that the players in the internal championship display, by improving their specific physical training, can constitute a lever, which, together with others, properly researched, manages to identify the right recipe for recovering the prestige of volleyball in our country.

Published: November 2023

Aim. The hereby research aims to develop and apply a questionnaire to a number of 20 male A1 division coaches and 20 female A1division coaches in order to find out their opinion on the specific physical training of volleyball players, and in particular, those acting as the opposite (universal), the scientific means used in their preparation, particularly targeting the scientific investigation methods applied. The work also intends to highlight differences when approaching some specific physical training of players in the two divisions.Method. The applied questionnaire contains 10 items, with a single answer option, the purpose being that of rendering objective data on the current working methodology in the volleyball game in terms of the specific physical training component, especially of the specific physical training of the players playing as opposite (universal).The questionnaire survey involved identifying the place and role of muscle training in senior physical training.We mention that within the questionnaire we used the best phrases that emerged from the discussions (conversations) held in advance with decision makers, coaches, managers, specialists in the field of physical education and sport (volleyball).Results. 67% of the answers look at the level of training of the volleyball players from the national team as being high, the rest think that the training of the athletes members of the national team is good or average.Conclusions. Most coaches consider it important to train individual volleyball players at senior level.
PHYSICAL TRAINING PLANNING FOR WEIGHTLIFTERS BEGINNERS IN A WEEKLY TRAINING MICROCYCLE
Authors: Cozima Mihai
Published: November 2023

Weightlifting training requires a high level of physical preparation, and this concept became essential at all activity cycles. As the results of participation in competition are increasingly in demand, optimal work output can only be achieved in the presence of superior indices of special physical preparation. Physical training planning throughout the training period is particularly important, but especially at the initial stage. Thus, the forms of planning the physical preparation of beginner weightlifters in a weekly training microcycle are based on significant concepts and theoretical-practical approaches essential for the effective preparation of weightlifters at this stage. The planning of the physical preparation of beginner weightlifters in a weekly training microcycle is designated by the complexity of the development of the functional and motor capacities of an athlete and is carried out within a well systematized and organized training process, this process being represented by a set of theories, concepts, notions, methods, principles and legalities. Therefore, the process of planning the motor activity of weightlifting athletes at the early stage is represented by certain scenarios of training lessons, being developed depending on the main objectives of forming a strong functional base and requires permanent increase of efforts in order to achieve high sports results. The planning of physical training in a weekly training microcycle is reflected in: the number of training sessions per day (morning and afternoon training); the number of training sessions per week (total of 11 training sessions: for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday two training sessions (morning and afternoon) and for Saturday only the morning session. The total number of hours is represented by the 60 min ceiling for one hour of training (one astronomical hour) where the morning training constitutes 1.5 hours and the afternoon training constitutes 2.5 astronomical hours.In the structural architecture of the planning of the training process a significant role is played by the experimental didactic project of the training lesson. The didactic project contains in a detailed form the whole scheme of the programme of actions that are planned to be learned. This planning unit is also notable for the fact that the respective compartments also describe the method of action which influences the execution of the planned movements.In their content, the didactic projects of the training lessons preserve the essence of the instructional approach in order to form the motor skills and the set of previously acquired skills, mastered at the moment, and with a future perspective, giving the didactic project a system status, on the basis of which the multiannual training process is built.
THE CONTRIBUTION OF PHYSICAL THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF MUSCLE IMPAIRMENT CAUSED BY MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
Authors: Stanescu (Boldeanu) Ileana , Vasilescu Maria Mirela
Published: November 2023

Muscular dystrophies (DM) are neurological conditions of great complexity and severity that involve progressive loss of muscle mass and associated reduction in muscle strength. The causes are genetic and involve mutations in the dystrophin gene that lead to the absence or deficiency of functional dystrophin, a cytoskeletal protein that enables general muscle function. In neuromuscular dystrophies there are direct molecular mechanisms responsible for exercise intolerance and inability to contract muscles. The use of therapeutic physical exercises is a way to slow down the preogression of the disease, to combat the loss of functionality of the muscle fibers as well as to delay the appearance of secondary manifestations of the disease, manifestations that occur with the ability to ambulate and with the installation of sedentarism caused by muscle weakness and degeneration. The effects of therapeutic exercise on patients with muscular dystrophy (including the effects of exceptional or maximal exercise) have been analyzed in the literature, and it has been found that aerobic exercise performed under the guidance of a physical therapist can be effective in improving oxidative capacity and progressive muscle function of the patient. The exercises must be adapted to the individual case, depending on the patient's general condition and availability of effort. Careful supervision and monitoring of patients can achieve the objectives obtained in the form of beneficial effects for the affected muscles. The present dissemination proposes a brief presentation of different types of therapeutic exercises (aerobic, endurance, resistance) and their role in the recovery program of patients with progressive muscular dystrophies.
CORPOREALITY AND CROSS-CURRICULAR LEARNING: FROM THE ANALYSIS OF THE 2004-2007-2012 NATIONAL INDICATIONS TO FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
Authors: D'Anna Cristiana , Forte Pasqualina , Pugliese Elisa
Published: November 2023

The segmentation and specialization, which characterize the current state of knowledge, the "struggle" and sometimes the declared "incommunicability" between the sciences, today need a modification of the curricula and a consequent and necessary reorganization of educational planning and programming oriented to overcome the unidisciplinary approach. The present contribution, starting from an analysis of the 2004-2007-2012 national curriculum Indications (MIUR) and focusing on corporeality as a medium of cross-curricular learning, aims to initiate insights about the revision of programmatic guidance documents in the Italian context. The study in analysing objectives and developmental goals of the different disciplines within the national guidelines highlights the evolution of the value of corporeality by critically revisiting the usual educational scenarios where the body is often absent or little valorise. According to international educational perspectives increasingly directed toward the development of transversal skills and attitudes and recent research in the field of cognitive neuroscience, some epistemological nodes will be outlined on which to leverage so that corporeality can become a “tool” for the integration of knowledge and experience, traditionally separated from each other: those of speech (verbal dimension) with the less recognized ones of movement, gesture, gaze and the senses (non-verbal dimension). Physical education can enable the implementation of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary paths, foster the implementation of learning environments effective to the promotion of cognitive, social, cultural and affective experiences.

Authors: Dantis Ionuț , Balint Gheorghe , Zvonar Martin
Published: November 2023

In this paper we propose to carry out a study on the somato-functional development of 10-11-year-old students from the ”Vasile Alecsandri” National College in Bacau (Romania) using a standardized test battery – EUFITMOS and comparing the data obtained with the reference values established as normal indices of the World Health Organization for this age category. Method: The research subjects are represented by a number of 54 students aged 10-11 years, 33 boys and 21 girls, voluntarily participated in the measurements. We used only 5 tests out of the 9 that make up the EUFITMOS protocol: Standing long jump; 20m run; Back-saver sit and reach; BMI; Waist circumference. Results: Following the evaluation of the obtained results, we can state that the average of the results obtained by both categories of subjects has a value above the average of the normal fitness zone in two of the tests and the results obtained in the rest tests place both categories of subjects in the "sport" area of fitness. Conclusion: Although the specialized literature places Romanian children in 2nd place in Europe for childhood obesity, following the research we can affirm that the subjects have a normal body mass index in relation to the body mass index measured at the European level for this age group.

Authors: Teodorescu Silvia Violeta , Turcu Ioan , Soroceanu Paul
Published: November 2023

The FIFA 11+ warm-up program was developed as an injury prevention alternative to traditional warm-up methods in football. Numerous studies have confirmed its effectiveness in reducing injuries, as well as its potential impact on performance. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the FIFA 11+ program on explosive force and dynamic balance, utilizing the Opto Jump equipment by Microgate. A total of 39 players were divided into two groups based on their respective teams: the intervention group (n=19) and the control group (n=20). The intervention group followed the FIFA 11+ warm-up three times a week for 12 weeks, while the control group continued with their regular warm-up routine. The results indicated no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the vertical jump test. However, in the dynamic balance test, the intervention group demonstrated significantly better results in power and reactive strength index compared to the control group. In conclusion, implementing the FIFA 11+ program for a minimum of 12 weeks, three times a week, can enhance dynamic balance and serve as a viable alternative to traditional football warm-up routines.

Authors: Tănasă Anca Raluca , Abalașei Beatrice Aurelia
Published: November 2023

Spatio-temporal orientation and balance ability at certain ages show the superiority of a certain gender type in terms of the level of performance recorded. The aim of this study was to investigate whether performance in spatial-temporal orientation and balance ability differs by gender. In order to determine the differences between genders, an analysis was carried out on a sample of 120 primary school pupils who were divided by gender into two groups: 58 girls (M=27,13, SD=6,50 kg; M=129,07, SD=6,58 cm) and 62 boys (M=29,39, SD=7,90 kg; M=130,92, SD =7,02 cm). The following tests were applied: Matorin and Flamingo Test. For the interpretation of the results the Independent Samples T Test was used. According to the results of the research, in the case of the Flamingo Test - the handy leg, the values (M=4.48, SD=4.21) are significantly higher (t=2.21, DF=118, two-tailed p=0.28) than those of boys (M=3.06, SD=2.62). Regarding the Matorin Test - skill part, boys' values (M=283.06, SD=82.04) are significantly higher (t=3.50, DF=118, two-tailed, p=0.001) than girls' (M=232.55, SD=75.35). It is recommended to develop spatial-temporal orientation and balance skills because these skills play a considerable role in sports and technical games where they are in high demand.

ANALYSIS OF THE EVOLUTION OF JUNIOR A RESULTS FOR GIRLS IN ROMANIA AT SHORT TRACK COMPARED TO THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY TOP ATHLETES
Authors: Vaida Marius
Published: November 2023

The present study wants to highlight the level of progress and development of short track speed skating in Romania. The study I propose is based on the results obtained by the short track skaters at the National Championships in Romania, monitored for six years between 2014 and 2022. The 1st-3rd places were taken into account, being compared with the world records of that period to highlight the differences between the top results and those achieved at national level. The study was done at the Junior A women age level, the 500m, 1000m and 1500m competitions being targeted. From the data presented it can be seen that for the 1st place in ranking, the best result in the 500m race is achieved in 2017 with a time of 47.32 sec, and the worst result is 53 sec in 2022. The 1000m competition is characterized by various evolutions at the level of sportsmen in Romania, the best result achieved at the level of 1st place ranking being 1:51.60 min in 2021 compared to the worst that was obtained in 2015 with a time of 2:06.020. In the 1500m competition, 2021 is the year with the best result (2:57.12 min), and the worst result obtained at national championships was 3:20.00 min achieved in 2022. In the context presented above we can see a big difference compared to the world record, the biggest difference being 1:01.30 min in 2022 and the smallest being 32.20 sec in 2014. The poor results obtained last year are obvious, the 500m and 1500m competitions being the weakest of those presented, confirming the statement that, with the lack of funding and optimal training conditions, the motivation of the athletes decreases, the prolongation of this situation leading to the abandonment of the sport. Although the year 2022 is not characterized by the worst result obtained in the 1000 m race, it is noted that the trend is to increase the time obtained compared to 2016-2021.

Authors:   , Brea Aldana
Published: November 2023

El vino en Argentina se produce casi exclusivamente con uvas de Vitis vinifera (207047 ha totales, INV 2022), pero aún subsiste una producción marginal de vino que se elabora con la uva Isabella (56 ha totales, INV 2022), un híbrido natural entre Vitis labrusca L. y una variedad V. vinifera. En la costa del Río de La Plata el vino elaborado con esta uva se denominó Vino de la Costa, y en Berisso particularmente, adquirió una fuerte identidad territorial producto de su íntima relación con el desarrollo socioeconómico de la ciudad. A pesar de la popularidad del vino de la Costa en la región de Berisso, se conoce muy poco sobre las variaciones en la composición de la uva y las propiedades fisicoquímicas y sensoriales del vino, como así también del proceso de fermentación espontánea. Esta situación dificulta la toma de decisiones para llevar adelante estrategias de innovación en el proceso global de elaboración del vino (desde el viñedo hasta la botella). En este contexto surgió el presente trabajo de tesis doctoral, cuyo objetivo general fue Obtener información sobre las características fisicoquímicas de la uva Isabella cultivada en Berisso, el proceso de fermentación con esta variedad de uva y las propiedades químicas y sensoriales del Vino de la Costa.

La crisis económica y social de las últimas décadas ha generado una gran cantidad de microemprendimientos, llevados adelante por personas y por organizaciones sociales, junto con otros promovidos por el Sector Público o por las empresas del Sector Privado. Han procurado dar respuesta principalmente a dos realidades contrastantes: la fuerte demanda de trabajo en los sectores sociales más desprotegidos y la solidaridad de personas, instituciones y empresas con mayores recursos. Los emprendimientos asociativos de ONG (Organizaciones No Gubernamentales) y parroquias, los microemprendedores antes desocupados, las cooperativas de trabajo que recuperan empresas cerradas y las ponen a producir, y otras iniciativas donde prevalece el fin social sobre el lucro individual, en conjunto, han sido llamados “economía social o solidaria”. Estas iniciativas económicas con clara vocación social representan hoy para centenares de miles de familias la principal vía para intentar vivir dignamente y evitar una dolorosa exclusión de la sociedad organizada. Es un modo honesto y valiente de lucha contra la adversidad económica y social, con base en el esfuerzo de los integrantes de familias, grupos y comunidades empobrecidas por las recurrentes crisis y la ausencia de políticas de verdadera promoción social.

Rethinking the Concept of Fiṭra
Authors: Arif Syamsuddin
Published: November 2023

Little attention has been given to the role of innate human nature or fiṭra in the motivation behind human action. This article examines the views of contemporary Western thinkers to creatively rethink the concept of fiṭra, not only from a theological perspective but also a scientific perspective. Drawing upon Islamic scholarship and previous research on the subject that explore the wide spectrum of connotations couched in the Islamic term fiṭra in comparison with Western perspectives, this study offers a fresh look at, and approach to, the concept of human disposition or primordial nature, giving special attention to the biological, epistemological, and ethical dimensions, while most studies of fiṭra focus mainly on the theological and spiritual sides. It is hoped that this conceptual analysis will serve as a stepping stone towards a more nuanced understanding of fiṭra not only as (i) a natural tendency to act or think in a particular way, but also as (ii) the religious instinct, (iii) the power of the mind to think and understand in a logical way, and (iv) the inner voice or conscience of what is right and wrong in one’s conduct or motives that drives the individual towards right action.

DYSPHAGIA IN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY AND THE ROLE OF FIBEROPTIC ENDOSCOPIC EVALUATION OF SWALLOWING (FEES): A REVIEW
Authors: Runtuwene Joshua
Published: November 2023

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder that affects muscle control and coordination, often resulting in various physical and developmental challenges. Dysphagia poses a common challenge in children diagnosed with cerebral palsy, significantly impacting their ability to eat and swallow. The mechanisms of dysphagia in children with cerebral palsy can be multifactorial and involve several factors, including oral motor dysfunction, decreased muscle tone, gastroesophageal reflux, delayed or disorganized swallowing reflexes, sensory issues, and structural abnormalities. Accurate assessment of dysphagia is vital for effective management. Aim: This comprehensive review aims to provide a thorough explanation of dysphagia in pediatric CP, with a particular focus on the application of Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) as an evaluative tool.
