- СтавкаBiomechanics of Ascending and Descending Stairs in a Patient with Transfemoral Amputation and Neural Sensory Feedback: A Case Report(MDPI, 2023) Bubanj, Saša; Radenković, Marko; Stanković, Dušan; Petković, Emilija; Lilić, Ana; Bojić, Ivana; Aksović, Nikola; Dobrescu, Tatiana; Bjelica, Bojan; Ćuk, Ivan; Mazic, Sanja; Petrini, Francesco Maria; Sinanović, Šćepan; Tomović, Milena; Leuciuc, Florin Valentin(1) Background: Asymmetry in gait could pose a problem for patients with transfemoral amputation, due to a higher risk for secondary comorbidities. Gait analysis during ascending and descending stairs (20 stair ascends and descends) was conducted in a patient with a unilateral transfemoral amputation and integrated neural sensory feedback (NSFB), with the aim to compare biomechanical parameters between the healthy and the prosthetic leg in conditions with and without NSFB. (2) Methods: Transversal-type research was conducted at the beginning of the patient’s rehabilitation and without prior gait training in conditions with NSFB. Complete study included several months of different gait testing with and without the NSFB. Data analyzed in this study are just a small portion of the overall dataset (only one subject, one recording session, reduced amount of trials in one condition), used for showing the validity of the proposed methodology for gait analysis and proving proof of concept. The analyzed parameters included stance, time, and speed of ascending and descending stairs in conditions with and without NSFB, measured for both legs. The data were processed using statistical software (SPSS Statistics version 24), with descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-tests to determine differences in gait parameters between the healthy and the prosthetic leg. (3) Results: The results revealed statistically significant differences (p = 0.00) in all three examined parameters (stance, time, and speed) between conditions with and without NSFB. (4) Conclusions: Gait stance, time, and the speed of ascending and descending stairs can be controlled and tailored in real time using NSFB.
- СтавкаEffect of hyperbaric chamber on saturation and heart frequency(Romanian Association of Balneology, Editura Balneara , Romania, 2023) Bjelica, Bojan; Zelenović, Milan; Alexe, Cristina Ioana; Aksović, Nikola; Setiawan, Edi; Pržulj, Radomir; Pan-telić, Saša; Bubanj, Saša; Kulundžić, Dejan; Lungu, Ecaterina; Catalin Ciocan, Vasile; Alexe, Dan IulianIntroduction: (1) Background: The use of oxygen under pressure greater than atmospheric represents progress that can be measured in terms of importance with the introduction of blood transfusion and antibiotics in therapy. The aim of the research was to determine the impact of using a hyperbaric chamber (HC) on muscle, arterial saturation and heart rate.; (2) Methods: Twelve respondents who engaged in recreational exercise. HC Macy Pan O2 801 was used for oxygen delivery. Muscle saturation was assessed with the IDIAG Moxy device. Arterial saturation was monitored with an Omron OM-35 device, and intraventricular heart rate with a Polar FT2 device. All parameters were monitored before and after HC treatment for 50 min. and constant pressure of 2.5 ATA.; (3) Results: There was a significant increase in saturation in the pectoralis, (+8.99%) p=.038, hamstring (+8.62%) p=.042. In capillary saturation (+1.42%) p=.008. Heart rate was reduced on average by about 8.5 beats p= .003. In the region of the latissimus do not record a statistically significant change in oxygen (+6.64%) p=060, however, numerical differences were determined.; (4) Conclusions: HC is an effective means of achieving positive physiological effects. It needs to be determined whether a higher ATA or duration of treatment gives better effects.
- СтавкаEffects of aerobic physical activity to cardio-respiratory fitness of the elderly population: systematic overview(IP Iermakov S.S., 2020) Aksović, Nikola; Bjelica, Bojan; Joksimović, Marko; Skrypchenko, Iryna; Filipović, Siniša; Milanović, Filip; Pavlović, Bojan; Ćorluka, Bojan; Pržulj, RadomirPurpose: Aerobic training is effective manner of exercising aimed at improving cardio-respiratory fitness of young people. However, its effects to the elderly population (over the age of 60), depending on characteristics of the participant (gender, health status, lifestyle, etc.), is still unclear. Aim of this research is systematic overview of the available literature dealing with the topic of effects of aerobic training to cardiorespiratory fitness of the elderly population over the age of 60, depending of gender (male/female), BMI (overweight/normal weight), lifestyle (active/sedentary), health status (diabetes/hypertension/ metabolic syndrome). Material: Total number of papers with published research results which met the criteria was 32. Walking is effective manner of exercising which influences improvement of maximum oxygen consumption (mean value: ±SD:12.91±7.40%). Introduction of activities with greater impact (bicycle and jogging) provides more effect to the cardio-respiratory fitness (mean value: ±SD:14.28±7.48%). Results: Aerobic training intensity level (moderate vs. high) makes no significant difference to the adaptive response of the cardio respiratory fitness in elderly population. Training in duration of 6 weeks may significantly influence increase in maximum oxygen consumption, but longer training duration, however, has better effect. Endurance training has similar effects to improvement of cardio-respiratory fitness in both men and women. On the other hand, it seems that active people have lower adaptive response in comparison to sedentary people (8.3% vs. 18.84%). Effect is similar between overweight and normal weight participants (18.48% vs. 8.6%). Positive influence of aerobic training was also observed in participants with hypertension, metabolic system and diabetes type 2. Conclusions: Results clearly suggest benefits of aerobic training on cardio-respiratory fitness of elderly population. The effect may, however, vary depending of duration, type of activity, as well as characteristics of the sample.
- СтавкаEfficiency of an Alternative Physical Education Program for the Lower Grades of Elementary School Children(MDPI, 2023) Marković, Jovan; Bubanj, Saša; Šekeljić, Goran; Pavlović, Slobodan; Radenković, Marko; Stanković, Dušan; Petković, Emilija; Aksović, Nikola; Radenković, Oliver; Preljević, Adem; Bjelica, Bojan; Petrović, Vladan; Sinanović, Šćepan; Tomović, MilenaIntroduction: This research was conducted with the aim of assessing whether an alternative physical education (PE) program could effectively substitute for the traditional PE curriculum and aid in accomplishing the essential goals and objectives of PE among younger elementary school children. (2) Materials and Methods: This longitudinal 6-month study included third-grade elementary school children of both genders, who were healthy, lived in urban areas, and were involved in an alternative PE program, as well as the regular PE classes. The sample of participants comprised 214 students, with 105 participants in the experimental group and 109 participants in the control group, who underwent pre- and post-intervention measurements. For the purposes of this study, 11 variables were applied to assess the parameters of growth and development, motor abilities, and physical and health education. MANCOVA and ANCOVA methods were used to determine the effects resulting from the alternative and regular PE programs, and differences between the groups, respectively. The data are reported as the mean and standard deviations, and were analyzed using the statistical package SPSS version 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Armonk, NY, USA). (3) Results: Based on the research results obtained for motor abilities and physical and health education, it was concluded that both the alternative and regular PE programs had positive effects in achieving the goals and objectives of PE, but without statistical significance at the multivariate and univariate levels. The differences between the two groups were found to be negligible (effect size, ES < 0.2). (4) Discussion: Sports and PE have distinct objectives and approaches. While sports emphasize competition and winning, PE aims to impart fundamental skills and knowledge, prioritizing inclusivity among younger students. Success in PE is measured by the number of students meeting these goals, potentially affecting both talented and struggling learners. (5) Conclusions: The results obtained from the conducted research indicate that both the alternative PE program and the regular PE program influence changes in motor abilities and physical and health education to a limited extent. The alternative PE program proposed in this study, with its modifications to the structure of existing, regular PE program, can fully replace the latter in schools that do not meet the required spatial and material standards.
- СтавкаEvaluation and comparative analysis of the results of a vertical jump between young basketball and handball players(IP lermakov S.S., 2022) Aksović, Nikola; Bjelica, Bojan; Milanović, Filip; Cicović, Borislav; Bubanj, Saša; Nikolić, Dejan; Skrypchenko, Iryna; Rozhechenko, Victor; Zelenović, MilanBackground and Study Aim Team sports, basketball and handball, as well as their competitions, are very popular throughout the world. The aim of this research was evaluation and comparative analysis of the results of a vertical jump between young basketball and handball players. Material and Methods A group of 37 participants took part in the research: 21 basketball players from the basketball club OKK ‘’Novi Pazar’’ (age: 15.5 ± 0.5) from Novi Pazar formed the first subgroup and 16 handball players from the handball club RK ‘’Železničar 1949’’ (age: 25.4 ± 5.8; body height = 193.5 ± 7.5 cm; body weight = 94.0 ± 7.4 kg; body mass index = 25.03 ± 2.38 kg/m2) from Niš formed the second subgroup. Explosive power of the vertical jumps was assessed by the following tests: countermovement jump, countermovement jump/arm swing, squat jump. Participants had at least 5 years of training experience and held similar acute training histories prior to study commencement, completing 4 weeks of baseline conditioning during the general preparatory phase. Participants were free of injury, illness and disease as determined by a team physician prior to study participation. Results The results of the independent samples t-test show that there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) between basketball and handball players in all vertical jump tests. Conclusions This article contains new information about vertical jumps of young male basketball and elite male handball players that could be extremely useful for coaches. Also, these findings suggest that basketball coaches may benefit from talents’ identification in young basketball players.
- СтавкаLeisure-Time Physical Activity and All-Cause Mortality : A Systematic Review(Jyväskylän yliopisto, University of Jyväskylä, Finland, 2022) Zelenović, Milan; Kontro, Titta; Dumitru, Razvan Constantin; Aksović, Nikola; Bjelica, Bojan; Alexe, Dan Iulian; Corneliu, Dragoi CristianMany scientific studies have been shown the positive effect of physical activity (PA) on reducing morbidity and mortality, whereas physical inactivity is globally one of the leading factors in mortality. Therefore, the purpose was to investigate the relationship between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and all-cause mortality among adult population. The data search was performed of 3 electronic databases for the years 2000-2021 February as follows: Google Scholar, PubMed, and ResearchGate. This search was made by using the following terms and operators AND/OR, individually/combination: "physical activity", "physical fitness", "leisure-time physical activity", "all-cause mortality", "risk of death", "mortality". 1220 studies were initially identified, 22 studies were met the inclusion criteria (5 male studies, 2 female studies, 15 both sexes). The results of this systematic review, with total 2568097 participants (aged 20-98 years), showed that any level of PA had health benefits compared to inactivity and sedentary lifestyle. The highest levels of PA had the lowest risk of all-cause mortality. In conclusion, there is an inverse relationship between LTPA and the risk of all-cause mortality, and the harmful effects of physical inactivity may be largely eliminated among those who are most active. So, promoting regular LTPA is strongly associated with well-being, quality of life and reduced the risk of all-cause mortality both in general adult population and elderly population with chronic diseases.
- СтавкаSports Games and Motor Skills in Children, Adolescents and Youth with Intellectual Disabilities(MDPI, 2023) Aksović, Nikola; Dobrescu, Tatiana; Bubanj, Saša; Bjelica, Bojan; Milanović, Filip; Kocić, Miodrag; Zelenović, Milan; Radenković, Marko; Nurkić, Filip; Nikolić, Dejan; Marković, Jovan; Tomović, Milena; Vulpe, Ana-Maria(1) Background: Sports games are one of the best ways of engaging in physical activity for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) and Down syndrome (DS). This systematic review of the current literature aims to identify and sum relevant data on motor skills and clarify whether there are positive effects of sports programs in motor skills games in children, adolescents, and youth with ID and DS. (2) Methods: The systematic review of the papers was carried out following the methodological guidelines and by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) consensus. The following electronic databases were researched: PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and ERIC from 2001 to 2023. (3) Results: The basketball test battery can be used to improve and monitor basketball training. Basketball players with lower levels of ID achieved better results, especially those with disabilities of the II and III degrees. Futsal has a positive impact on the coordination, and the differences between the test results of the vertical jump with and without an arm swing, that can be seen indirectly as a coordination factor, were statistically significant. (4) Conclusions: Basketball is recommended as an effective and practical rehabilitation program for children, adolescents, and youth with ID and DS. Futsal is an interesting and helpful activity for individuals with ID as well.
- СтавкаSports Injuries in Basketball Players: A Systematic Review(MDPI, 2024) Aksović, Nikola; Bubanj, Saša; Bjelica, Bojan; Kocić, Miodrag; Lilić, Ljubiša; Zelenović, Milan; Stanković, Dušan; Milanović, Filip; Pajović, Lazar; Čaprić, Ilma; Milić, Vladan; Dobrescu, Tatiana; Sufaru, Constantin(1) Background: The objective of this systematic review was to collect relevant data in the available contemporary studies about sports injuries of basketball players and explain differences in sports injuries relative to gender, location, sport, and position on the court; (2) Methods: The papers were searched digitally using PubMed, MEDLINE, ERIC, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases, from 1990 to 2024; (3) Results: The most frequent severe injuries for both genders are knee and ankle injuries and the most frequent forms of injury are ankle sprain and ligament strain. The most frequent injuries occur during running and after contact with the ball. Shooting guards sustain the highest injury rate followed by centers and point guards, while guards have the highest rate of adductor muscle injury; and (4) Conclusions: Studies indicate that ankle and knee injuries are prevalent among basketball players, with ankle sprains being particularly prevalent. Knee injuries are more common in female basketball players, including ACL injuries. Various factors contribute to injuries, including the biomechanics of jumping, landing, sudden changes in direction, and the physical demands placed on the body during the game.
- СтавкаThe influence of motor skills on the short sprint results(IP lermakov S.S, 2021) Aksović, Nikola; Skrypchenko, Iryna; Bjelica, Bojan; Singh, R. Ram Mohan; Milanović, Filip; Nikolić, Dejan; Zelenović, MilanBackground and Study Aim: The curriculum of physical education in high schools is based on learning motor skills, as well as their development in sports sections, where the 100-meter sprint dominates. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of motor skills on the 100 m running results. Material and Methods: The research was conducted on a sample of 80 high school students in Novi Pazar and Kraljevo, aged 16 and 17 years (± 6 months). 12 variables were used to assess motor skills, three variables each: explosive power, segmental speed, repetitive power, and flexibility (standing long jump), triple jump, five jumps. For estimating segmental speed: foot tapping, hand tapping, foot tapping on the wall. For the assessment of repetitive power: lifting the torso on the Swedish bench, mixed pull-ups, squats. To assess flexibility: deep bench press, twine, stick twist. Results: Results were obtained to confirm that there is a positive influence of motor skills on the 100 m sprint results at the level of (p=.000). The results in the 100 m sprints are statistically significantly dependent on the motor skills that manifest segmental speed and explosive power. Variables (standing long jump, foot tapping on the wall and foot tapping) have a statistically significant effect on the criterion variable of the 100 m sprint. Conclusions: Recommendation to future researchers would be to conduct a study over a longer period of time with the aim of examining the biomechanical factors that determine the success in sprint, is the production of force in the phase of sprint acceleration and sprint deceleration
- СтавкаWarm-up is an efficient strategy to prevent diurnal variation of short-term maximal performance in young basketball players(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Zelenović, Milan; Kontro, Titta; Čaušević, Denis; Bjelica, Bojan; Aksović, Nikola; Milanović, ZoranThe objectives of this study were to investigate: 1) whether there were morning-to-evening differences in short-term maximal performance and 2) the impact of prolonged and specific warmup on short-term maximal performance diurnal variations in young basketball players. Fifteen basketball players of both sexes (Male = 8; Female = 7; age: 14.4 ± 0.46 yr; weight: 64.7 ± 7.1 kg; height: 175.2 ± 6.6 cm; BMI: 21.1 ± 1.9 kg/m2) completed the following short-term maximal performance tests: CMJ with and without arm swing, Lane Agility Drill, Zig-Zag agility test with and without the ball, Sprint 20 m with and without the ball with the passage at 5 and 10 m. All tests were performed after the 15-min standard warm-up procedure (with static stretching) and/or 25- min specific warm-up (with prolonged running and dynamic stretching) in the morning and evening. Vertical jumping tests and all change-of-direction speed tests (with and without a ball) with superior responses were achieved in the evening after standard warm-up among all participants (p < 0.05). In contrast, superior short-term maximal performance was observed in the morning after prolonged and specific warm-up protocol (p < 0.05). It was concluded that specific and prolonged warm-up protocols are suitable strategy to prevent diurnal variation in short-term maximal performance in young basketball players.
