Purpose: This study aims to determine what changes occur in body composition and performance by subjecting youth soccer players to weight training and combined training, which are known to be effective in improving anaerobic capacity, for 6 weeks. Research design, data, and methodology: This study was conducted on 30 high school soccer players from S City who had no current injuries or medical problems and had been registered as players with the Korea Football Association for more than 3 years. Subjects were divided into a weight training group (WTG, n=15) and a combined training group (CTG, n=15). Training lasted 6 weeks, and measurements were taken before and after training. Mean (M) and standard deviation (SD) were calculated to present the descriptive statistics of all dependent variables. Paired t-tests were used to test for within-group differences. Further, Independent t-tests were employed to test for between-group differences. Results: In terms of body composition, height significantly increased in WTG and CTG, and body fat percentage significantly decreased in CTG. As for performance, WTG's 20m sprint record decreased significantly. Conclusion: As a result, this study confirmed that weight training improved the 20m sprint ability of youth soccer players. Future research could provide more useful information by extending the study period and incorporating the physical characteristics of adolescents.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of progressive body weight decrease combined with increasing level of overground walking speed training for patients with chronic stroke. Methods: Eighteen subjects with chronic stroke were composed of the control group (5% body weight support combined with increasing speed training) and the experimental group (progressive body weight decrease with increasing speed training); three sets, three times per week over a period of four weeks. Results: Significant differences in terms of comfortable gait speed (CGS) and the rate of change of CGS were observed between the control and experimental groups (p<0.05). However, no significant difference in the dynamic gait index was observed between the control and experimental groups (p>0.05). A significant difference in the 6 minute walking test (6MWT) was observed for the experimental group, and a significant difference in the rate of change for the 6MWT was observed between the control and experimental groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: The progressive body weight decrease combined with increasing in level of overground walking speed training may be a better and more effective method for community walking and reintegration.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of flexible pole training combined with lumbar stabilization in improving trunk muscle activities and to investigate the difference according to posture in young adults. Methods: Twenty-five participants were enrolled in this study. The subjects were randomly allocated into either the flexible pole group or the rigid pole group. Participants performed lumbar stabilization exercises on quadruped and curl-up, with the flexible pole or rigid pole. Electromyography was used to assess the percent maximal voluntary isometric contracion (%MVIC) of the rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and erector spine (ES) muscles. All participants completed one 30-minute session per day, 3 days per week, for 6 weeks. The evaluation was performed before and 6 weeks after the training, and follow-up. The data were analyzed using independent t-test and two-way repeated measure analysis of variance to determine the statistical significance. Results: The flexible pole in curl-up showed significant differences in EO and IO muscle activities compared with the rigid pole. The flexible pole in quadruped showed significant differences in IO and ES muscle activities compared with the rigid pole. The RA, EO, IO, and ES muscle activities of both groups were significantly higher after 6 weeks training. Conclusion: The flexible pole in curl-up and quadruped showed an improvement in trunk muscle activation. The flexible pole combined with lumbar stabilization will be useful as an exercise tool to improve activity of trunk muscles.

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of PPAR-α, -β/δ, -γ, PGC-1α, GLUT-4 and p-AMPK-α₂ protein in the skeletal muscle of diabetic induced-rats by endurance training combined with rosiglitazone. The expression of PPAR-α, -β/δ, -γ, PGC-1α, GLUT-4 and p-AMPK-α₂ protein in red and white gastrocnemius by western blotting. The body weight was higher in diabetic induced-rats compared to the normal rats and after the treatment of exercise combined with rosiglitazone was significantly reduced in the all group. The levels of blood glucose was higher in diabetic induced-rats compared to the normal rats and after the treatment of exercise combined with rosiglitazone was significantly reduced in the all group. The expression of PPAR-α, -γ, PGC-1α in skeletal muscle of diabetic induced-rats were increased all groups and increased significantly in the group with exercise combined with rosiglitazone. The expression of GLUT-4 and p-AMPK-α₂ protein in the skeletal muscle of diabetic induced-rats were increased all groups and increased significantly in the group with exercise combined with rosiglitazoneI. These results suggest that exercise training and rosiglitazone may act as complementary therapies for the treatment of insulin rasistance.

Gender prediction accuracy increases as convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture evolves. This paper compares voting and ensemble schemes to utilize the already trained five CNN models to further improve gender prediction accuracy. The majority voting usually requires odd-numbered models while the proposed softmax-based voting can utilize any number of models to improve accuracy. The ensemble of CNN models combined with one more fully-connected layer requires further tuning or training of the models combined. With experiments, it is observed that the voting or ensemble of CNN models leads to further improvement of gender prediction accuracy and that especially softmax-based voters always show better gender prediction accuracy than majority voters. Also, compared with softmax-based voters, ensemble models show a slightly better or similar accuracy with added training of the combined CNN models. Softmax-based voting can be a fast and efficient way to get better accuracy without further training since the selection of the top accuracy models among available CNN pre-trained models usually leads to similar accuracy to that of the corresponding ensemble models.

이 연구의 목적은 건강한 남자 14명을 대상자로 단기간의 지구성 훈련과 지구성 운동에 웨이트 운동을 병행한 복합훈련이 골격근 섬유의 형태 및 골격근 내 산화적 효소의 활성도에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 하였다. 지구성 트레이닝 집단은 최대심박수의 70~80% 에서 40분간 자유형으로 수영을 6주간 실시하였으며 복합 트레이닝 집단은 동일한 수영을 실시한 후 웨이트 트레이닝을 추가로 실시하였다. 근섬유 횡단면적에 있어 복합훈련 집단과 지구성 훈련 집단 간에 차이가 나타나지 않았으며 훈련기간에 따라 복합훈련 집단에서 지구성 훈련 집단보다 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 모세혈관 수에 있어서도 집단 간 차이는 나타나지 않았으며 훈련기간에 따라 복합훈련 집단에서 지구성 훈련 집단보다 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 유산소성 대사 효소 중 CS, ${\beta}$-HAD 그리고 CPT의 활성도는 훈련형태에 따른 차이는 통계적으로 나타나지 않았으나 복합훈련 집단에서 지구성 훈련 집단에서 보다 더 큰 증가의 폭을 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합해 볼 때 유산소성 훈련만을 실시할 때 보다 유 무산소 운동이 복합적으로 구성되어 있는 훈련의 수행이 근섬유의 에너지 대사 관련 효소들의 활성도 증가와 근 세포 모세혈관의 발달에 보다 효과적이라는 결론을 도출할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 6주간의 고강도 복합 훈련 프로그램을 통해 카누 선수의 심폐기능(Cardiorespiratory Function), 체간 등속성 근력(Isokinetic Trunk Strength) 그리고 무산소성 파워(Anaerobic Power)에 미치는 영향을 확인하는데 있다. 이를 위해 고등학교 카누 선수 9명을 대상으로 고강도 복합 훈련 프로그램을 적용하였으며, 고강도 훈련 프로그램은 주 2회의 유산소 운동(화, 목), 주 3회의 무산소 운동(월, 수, 금) 그리고 주 5회의 유연성 운동을 실시하였다. 고강도 복합 훈련 프로그램의 핵심은 무산소성 훈련 프로그램으로 기존 1RM의 퍼센트(%)를 나누어 훈련하던 방식과는 달리 횟수에 대한 100%의 중량을 가지고 하는 훈련이며, 유산소성 운동과 짐볼운동은 보조적인 개념으로 실시하였다. 연구결과, 고강도 복합 훈련 프로그램에 따른 신체구성에서 신장과 근육량은 통계적으로 의한 차이가 있었으며, 체중, 체지방율, BMI는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 심폐기능의 경우, 최대산소섭취량과 총 운동시간은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 체간 등속성 근력의 경우, 각속도 30°/sec에서는 Flexors 운동시 Peak Torque 항목에서만 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 각속도 120°/sec에서는 Extensors 운동시 Total Work 항목에서만 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 무산소성 파워의 경우, Peak Power, Average Power, Peak Drop의 모든 항목에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 심폐기능에서는 유의한 개선효과가 있었지만 체간 등속성 근력과 무산소성 파워 항목에서 증가하는 경향은 있었지만 통계적인 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 선수 개개인의 근력과 파워가 개선되는 경향이 나타난 것을 고려하면 훈련기간을 6주 이상으로 구성하고 사례수가 보강된다면 체계적인 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서 적용한 고강도 복합 훈련 프로그램은 카누 선수들의 경기력 향상 효과를 기대할 수 있는 훈련 프로그램으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 Thera-Band를 이용해 단축성 수축과 신장성 수축이 혼합된 저항운동을 실시하는 것이 단축성 수축 저항 운동만을 실시하는 것보다 근력증진에 더 효과적인지를 알아보고자 하는 논문이다. 연구대상자는 부산광역시 소재 S 대학교에 재학 중인 학생 30명 이었으며, 30명을 무작위로 단축성 수축과 신장성 수축 운동군, 단축성 수축 운동군, 무운동군으로 나누어 4주 동안 운동을 실시하였다. 근력 측정은 등속성 운동기기인 CON-TERX를 이용하였으며, 각속도는 $60^{\circ}$/sec, $120^{\circ}$/sec이었다. 4주 운동 후, 단축성 수축과 신장성 수축 운동군의 경우 각속도 $60^{\circ}$/sec에서 단축성과 신장성 최대 토크와 최대 파워, 각속도 $120^{\circ}$/sec에서 단축성 최대 파워가 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 반면 단축성 수축 운동군은 각속도는 $60^{\circ}$/sec와 $120^{\circ}$/sec의 최대 파워에서만 유의한 증가가 있었다. 반면 무운동군은 변화가 없었다. 따라서 Thera-Band를 이용해 단축성 수축과 신장성 수축이 혼합된 운동을 실시하는 것이 단축성 수축 운동만을 실시하는 것보다 근력증진에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
