BACKGROUND: Military operations in urban environments requires faster movements and therefore may place greater demands on soldier strength and anaerobic ability. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to study how physical fitness and body composition are associated with occupational test for urban combat soldiers before and after a 5-day military field exercise (MFE). METHODS: Twenty-six conscripts (age = 20±1 yrs.) volunteered, of which thirteen completed the study...

A kettlebell is a weight made of cast iron shaped like a ball with a handle. Commercial kettlebells are offered in capacities that vary from 3 pounds to 100 pounds (or more). The kettlebell has a variety of possible clinical applications, including dynamic flexibility exercises and power training. Players' efficacy during the game can be improved by developing their strongest potential prior to exercising and efficiently converting that strength to power as the event draws near. Strengthening has been recommended as an effective means to avoid injuries, build muscle strength, and enhance one's health in relation to performance in the game...

BACKGROUND: Chronic resistance training and acute resistance exercises improve physical performance and can enhance cognitive performance. However, there is still uncertainty about the mechanism(s) responsible for cognitive improvement following resistance training and exercise. Recent findings suggest that resistance exercise has metabolic as well as cognitive demands, which potentially activate similar neural circuitry associated with higher-order cognitive function tasks. Exercising on unstable devices increases the coordinative and metabolic demands and thus may further increase cognitive activation during resistance exercise...

INTRODUCTION: Kettlebell exercises, specifically the bottom-up grip, have become increasingly popular in training programs. The purpose of this research was to determine if a bottom-up kettlebell grip favorably alters the electromyography (EMG), activity in the medial deltoid (MD), serratus anterior (SA), and lower trapezius (LT), muscles compared to using a dumbbell or traditional kettlebell grip during overhead shoulder presses. METHODS: Twenty-eight healthy, male, Division III collegiate baseball players (mean age = 19...

Recently, robotic exoskeletons are gaining attention for assisting industrial workers. The exoskeleton power source ranges from fully passive (FP) to fully active (FA), or a mixture of both. The objective of this experimental study was to assess the efficiency of a new active-passive (AP) shoulder exoskeleton using statistical analyses of 11 quantitative measures from surface electromyography (sEMG) and kinematic data and a user survey for weight lifting tasks. Two groups of females and males lifted heavy kettlebells, while a shoulder exoskeleton helped them in modes of fully passive (FP), fully active (FA), and active-passive (AP)...

Change-of-direction (COD) speed and ability could assist a firefighter moving about the fire ground more efficiently. There has been limited investigations of COD speed in firefighter trainees, and what measures of fitness could contribute to faster performance in a test such as the Illinois agility test (IAT), which measures longer COD speed. This study analyzed archival data from 292 trainees (262 males, 30 females). The trainees completed the following fitness tests at their training academy: IAT, push-ups, pull-ups, leg tucks, 20-m multistage fitness test to measure estimated maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max ), backwards overhead 4...

Kettlebell training provides multiple health benefits, including the generation of power. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the kinematics and kinetics of lower-body joints during a repeated, maximum effort kettlebell swing protocol. Sixteen resistance and kettlebell swing experienced males performed 10 rounds of a kettlebell swing routine (where one round equates to 30s of swings followed by 30s of rest). Kinematic (i.e., swing duration and angular velocities) and kinetic (i.e., normalised sagittal plane ground reaction force, resultant joint moment [RJM] and power) variables were extracted for the early portion and late portion of the round...

We examined the effects of adding a Kettlebell Swing training program (KB) to the regular skill-training protocol (REGULAR) on cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiorespiratory/metabolic demand, and recovery to a simulated competition of female artistic gymnastics. Nine gymnasts (13±2 years) had their REGULAR complemented with a 4-week kettlebell training (REGULAR+KB), consisting of 3 sessions/week of 12x30" swings x 30" rest with ¼ of their body weight, while 9 aged-matched gymnasts acted as a comparison group...

Kettlebell sport (KBs) is increasingly popular, but very few studies have been focused on this discipline. This research aims to investigate the effects of KBs on body composition, strength symmetry, and segmental body composition symmetry in a sample of Italian elite athletes. Data were collected from a sample of 16 athletes of both sexes (11 men and 5 women; 34.5 ± 9.0 years of age). Anthropometric (height, weight, arm, thigh, calf, and waist circumferences), hand grip strength, and total and segmental bioelectrical variables were taken...

INTRODUCTION: Kettlebell snatches are an efficient and effective exercise. If the kettlebell being utilized is too heavy or too many repetitions are executed, this can lead to an overuse injury such as a tendinopathy. Multiple orthopedic tests exist to evaluate for a distal biceps tendon rupture. At present, there are no publications utilizing shockwave and active rehabilitation to treat distal bicipital tendinopathy with Lateral Antebrachial Cutaneous Nerve (LABCN) entrapment. Currently, no published manuscripts are reporting distal bicipital tendinopathy with LABCN nerve entrapment being treated successfully with shockwave and active rehabilitation over the course of 5 weeks...

The kettlebell swing is a complex exercise shown to provide cardiovascular and strength benefits. However, novice kinematic pattern differences might limit the effectiveness of the kettlebell swing to fully realise those benefits. The purpose of this study was to assess how novices self-directed their learning of the kettlebell swing using only an instructional video. Twelve young adults performed kettlebell swings sets over one week. We captured kinematic data of their first sets without practice, sets within-day following practice, and sets one week later following practice...

The overhead press is a multi-joint exercise that has the potential to use a high external load due to the cooperation of many muscle groups. The purpose of this study was to compare the activity of shoulder and back muscles during the overhead press with a kettlebell and a dumbbell. Surface electromyography (EMG) for the anterior and posterior deltoid, upper and lower trapezius, serratus anterior, and spinal erectors was analysed for 20 subjects. Participants performed the four trials of pressing kettlebell and dumbbell, weighted at 6 kg, and 70% of one maximum repetition (1RM) in the sitting position...

Resistance training is considered to be an efficient treatment for age-related sarcopenia and can improve muscle strength and quality in patients. However, there are currently no recommendations on resistance training parameters to improve muscle strength and quality in elderly patients with sarcopenia. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and included 13 eligible RCTs. Resistance training significantly improved grip strength, gait speed, and skeletal muscle index in patients with age-related sarcopenia, and kettlebell was found to be the most effective modality...
