A089: The Relationship Between Lthr And The Hrdp Based On The Dmax, Siyu Lu, Changda Lu, Bingyu Pan

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Introduction: Blood lactate serves as a physiological biomarker, offering insights into an individual's health and training status. Lactate threshold (LT) is commonly used to determine training zones and intensity for endurance athletes. The Dmax method and its modified version, Dmaxmod, are currently prevalent for LT determination. The heart rate deflection point (HRDP) is a specific point on the heart-velocity curve used to assess the transition between aerobic and anaerobic. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between LT determined by Dmax and Dmaxmod, as well as the relationship between the HRDP determined using the Dmax (HRDP-Dmax) and …

A091: Proprioception And Strength No Longer Correlate With Mediolateral Stability Among Individuals With Functional Ankle Instability, Yanhao Liu, Peixin Shen, Qipeng Song

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Background/Purpose: Dynamic stability deficit is one of the strongest risk factors for ankle sprains. Proprioception and strength are crucial for maintaining dynamic stability and preventing sprains during sports and daily activities. The mechanisms by which humans maintain anteroposterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) stability are different. The correlations of AP and ML dynamic stability with its two factors, namely, proprioception and strength, may explain the recurrent sprains among individuals with functional ankle instability (FAI). The purpose of this project was to investigate the correlations of AP and ML dynamic stability with proprioception and strength within the two populations.

A114: Effect Of Four-Way Boxing Exercise On Cognitive Flexibility Of High School Students With Depression Tendency, Tongtong Hao

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Purpose: In recent years, depressive symptoms are more prominent than other psychological problems among Chinese high school students. Cognitive flexibility impairment is one of the important cognitive impairments in depression. The four-way boxing practice has the characteristics of rich content of action and various forms of practice.

Methods: This study used the method of literature, mathematical statistics, questionnaire and experiment, and four-way boxing practice as the intervention.

Results: The total score of the cognitive flexibility scale was negatively correlated with the scores of the self-rating depression scale (all P’s < 0.05). The cognitive flexibility of high depression prone high school students was significantly lower than that of low depression prone high school students. The results showed that: (1) In the self-rating depression scale, the total score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the pre-test (P < 0.05), but there was no significant change in the control group; (2) In the cognitive flexibility scale, the total score and the controllable subscale scores of the experimental group were significantly higher after the test than before the test (P < 0.05), and the scores of the selective subscale after the test were significantly higher than before the test (P < 0.05), but there were no significant changes in the control group; (3) In Stroop color word test, the post-test response of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the pre-test (P < 0.05), while the control group had no significant change (P > 0.05); In the Wisconsin card test, the reaction time of the …
