Pengaruh Latihan Fartlek Dengan Treadmill Dan Lari Di Lapangan Terhadap Daya Tahan Kardiorespirasi, Maya Kurnia, B.M. Wara Kushartanti

Jurnal Keolahragaan

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengungkapkan pengaruh dari latihan fartlek dengan treadmill, latihan fartlek dengan lari di lapangan, dan kapasitas vital paru terhadap daya tahan kardiorespirasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain eksperimen faktorial 2 x 2. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan tes daya tahan kardiorespirasi (tes Cooper 12 menit), dihitung jarak maksimal yang dapat ditempuh dalam waktu 12 menit tersebut. Hasil penelitian adalah sebagai berikut: (1) Ada perbedaan daya tahan kardiorespirasi antara kelompok latihan fartlek dengan treadmill dan kelompok latihan fartlek dengan lari di lapangan. Daya tahan kardiorespirasi kelompok latihan fartlek dengan lari di lapangan menunjuk-kan pengaruh lebih baik dibandingkan kelompok latihan fartlek …


Surfing Injuries Requiring First Aid In New Zealand, 2007-2012, Kevin Moran, Jonathon Webber Aug 2013

Surfing Injuries Requiring First Aid In New Zealand, 2007-2012, Kevin Moran, Jonathon Webber

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

In an island nation such as New Zealand with easy access to surf beaches, surfing activities are very popular and, while generally perceived as a healthy form of outdoor recreation, they do have attendant risks. This study reports on nondrowning, surfing-related incidents that required medical first aid on beaches during five summer seasons from 2007-2012. Retrospective descriptive analysis of data from lifeguard first aid reports found that 16% (n = 1,327) of injuries were the consequence of surfing activity. More males than females were treated for surfing injuries (68% male, 31% female). Lacerations (59%) and bruising (15%) accounted for most …


Defining Concussion And Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A History Of Confusion And Debate., Brenda Seymour May 2013

Defining Concussion And Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A History Of Confusion And Debate., Brenda Seymour

Sound Neuroscience: An Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal

Although concussions were first described in ancient times by Hippocrates, the definition of concussion and what differentiates it from other head trauma has been debated throughout history. Since the 9th century, doctors such as Rhazes, Berengario da Carpi, and Doctor Read have further refined the definition and diagnosis of concussion, coming to the first neuropathologic descriptions of the term in the 17th century. Today, the debate continues over whether a concussion is defined as a physical blow to the head, or the abnormal symptoms following such trauma. Other terms such as Mild Traumatic Brain Injury have made their way into …


Too Much Puff, Not Enough Push? Surf Lifeguard Simulated Cpr Performance, Kevin Moran, Jonathon Webber Feb 2013

Too Much Puff, Not Enough Push? Surf Lifeguard Simulated Cpr Performance, Kevin Moran, Jonathon Webber

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

The purpose of this paper is to report on the technical competency of volunteer surf lifeguards to perform CPR on a manikin in light of their lifeguard experience, age, and gender. The CPR skills of surf lifeguards on patrol at the beginning of the 2010-11 summer season were tested on manikins by observation of CPR procedures and electronic recording of compression and ventilation skills. Almost all lifeguards (n=252) made the appropriate initial checks for responsiveness (98%). Compression skills were generally performed accurately with few technical errors (such as incomplete release). Most lifeguards (87%) over-ventilated the lungs (> 600ml) on each …


Assessment Of Balance In Collegiate Cheerleaders: Is Implementing A Balance Training Program A Good Idea?, Caitlin Carroll Jan 2013

Assessment Of Balance In Collegiate Cheerleaders: Is Implementing A Balance Training Program A Good Idea?, Caitlin Carroll

Bridges: A Journal of Student Research

Due to the nature of the activity, competitive cheerleaders are susceptible to falls, which can lead to injury. However, cheerleaders that get put into the air ("flyers"), may have better balance ability as compared to those that hold or support flyers ("bases"). However, no previous research could be located comparing balance ability and fall risk between these positions. The purpose of this study was to assess balance ability and fall risk in female, collegiate cheerleaders. It was found that within the past year, 63.6% of cheerleaders experienced a fall, while 45% reported lower extremity injuries due to participation in their …


High Jump Analysis, Paige Cooke Jan 2013

High Jump Analysis, Paige Cooke

Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two

This project presents a mathematical analysis of the high jump, a popular track and field event. The first and second stages of the high jump correspond to the athlete’s run along two distinct trajectories. The third stage is the actual jump. We propose an individual model for each of these stages and show how to combine these models to study the dynamics of the entire high jump.
