In the golf swing motion, the muscle strengths of the core and arms play important roles, where a difference typically exists in the power of arm muscles between the dominant and non- dominant sides. The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of exercises strengthening the core and non-dominant arm muscles of elite golf players (handicap 〈 3) on the increase in drive distance, and to present a corresponding training scheme aimed at improving golf performance ability. Methods: Sixty elite golfers were randomized into the control group (CG, n = 20), core exercise group (CEG, n = 20), and group receiving a combination of muscle strengthening exercises of the non-dominant arm and the core (NCEG, n = 20). The 3 groups conducted the corresponding exercises for 8 weeks, after which the changes in drive distances and isokinetic strength were measured. Results: Significant differences in the overall improvement of drive distance were observed among the groups (p 〈 0.001). Enhancement of the drive distance of NCEG was greater than both CG (p 〈 0.001) and CEG (p = 0.001). Except for trunk flexion, all variables of the measurements of isokinetic strength for NCEG also showed the highest values compared to the other groups. Examination of the correlation between drive distance and isokinetic strength revealed significant correlations of all variables except trunk flexion, wrist extension, and elbow extension. Conclusion: The combination of core and non-dominant arm strength exercises can provide a more effective specialized training program than core alone training for golfers to increase their drive distances.展开更多

A surrogate model is an approximation method that is used to predict unknown functions based on the sampling data obtained by the design of experiments. This model can also be used to predict aerodynamic coefficients/derivatives using several measured points. The objective of this paper is to develop an efficient digital flight simulation by solving the equation of motion to predict the aerodynamics data using a surrogate model. Accordingly, there is a need to construct and investigate aerodynamic databases and compare the accuracy of the surrogate model with the exact solution, and hence solve the equation of motion for the flight simulation analysis. In this study, sample datas for models are acquired from the USAF Stability and Control DATCOM, and a database is constructed for two input variables (the angle of attack and Mach number), along with two derivatives of the X-force axis and three derivatives for the Z-force axis and pitching moment. Furthermore, a comparison of the value predicted by the Kriging model and the exact solution shows that its flight analysis prediction ability makes it possible to use the surrogate model in future analyses.展开更多

Methods Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the random number table method, including blank group, model group and moxibustion group. The model group and moxibustion group were divided into 4 subgroups respectively, that was 1 time, 4 times, 7 times and 10 times subgroup. There were 9 groups with 8 rats in each group. Except blank group, all the rats were established into exhaustive models through swimming. Mild moxibustion at CV 8 was carried out for 15 min in the rats in moxibustion group after modeling for once every other day. The concentration of serum glucose (GLU), malonaldehyde (MDA) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) as well as the activity of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were detected 24h after the exhaustive exercise by adopting full-automatic analyzer. Results The exhaustive time of rats were long at first but shorter later. The exhaustive time of rats in the model group (4 times) were obviously longer than that in the model group (1 time) (P〈0.01), the exhaustive time of rats in the model group (7 times) and model group (10 times) were obviously shorter than that in the model group (1 time) (P〈0.01), and the exhaustive time of rats in the moxibustion group (7 times) and moxibustion group (10 times) were obviously longer than that in the model group with the same number of times (P〈0.01), the serum GLU level of rats in the model group (7 times) and model group (10 times) increased when compared with the blank group (P〈0.01), and the serum MDA and BNU levels as well as the activity of AST, ALT and LDH of rats in the model group (4 times), model group (7 times) and model group (10 times) increased when compared with the blank group (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01), the serum GLU, MDA and BNU levels as well as the activity of AST and ALT of rats in the moxibustion group (7 times) and moxibustion group (10 times) reduced when compared with the model group with the same number of times (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01), and the serum LDH activity of rats in the moxibustion group (4 times), moxibustion group (7 times) and moxibustion group (10 times) reduced when compared with the model group with the same number of times (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01). Conclusion Moxibustion at CV 8 can reduce the serum MDA and BNU levels as well as the activity of AST, ALT and LDH of organism in a status of long-term fatigue, effectively improve the symptom of long-term fatigue, providing a certain experimental basis for the clinical application of moxibustion at CV 8 in the process of anti-exercise-induced fatigue in the future.展开更多

Methods: A total of 72 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a normal group (n=8), a model group (n=32) and a moxibustion group (n=32). According to the times of modeling or treatment, the model group was further randomly divided into different subgroups of a 1-time model subgroup, a 4-time model subgroup, a 7-time model subgroup and a 10-time model subgroup (n=8); the moxibustion group was also further randomly divided into different subgroups of a 1-time moxibustion subgroup, a 4-time moxibustion subgroup, a 7-time moxibustion subgroup and a 10-time moxibustion subgroup (n=8). Rats in both model and moxibustion subgroups were subjected to establishing the swimming exhaustive model. Rats in each moxibustion subgroup received mild moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) for 15 min immediately after modeling, once every other day. The concentration of malic dialdehyde (MDA), as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in rat's hippocampus in each group were detected 24 h after the exhaustive exercise. Results: Compared with the 1-time model subgroup, the exhaustive swimming time of rats was significantly prolonged in the 4-time model subgroup (P〈0.01), while it was significantly shortened in the 7-time and 10-time model subgroups (both P〈0.01). Compared with the matched model subgroup, the exhaustive swimming time of rats in the 7-time and 10-time moxibustion subgroups was significantly prolonged (both P〈0.01). Compared with the normal group, the MDA concentration was increased significantly (P〈0.01), and the activities stress response of SOD and T-AOC were increased in the 1-time model subgroup (both P〈0.05); the MDA concentration was increased (all P〈0.01), and the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and T-AOC were decreased differently (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01) in the 4-time, 7-time and 10-time model subgroups. Compared with the matched model subgroup, the concentration of MDA was significantly reduced (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01), and the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and T-AOC were significantly increased in the 4-time, 7-time and 10-time moxibustion subgroups (all P〈0.01). Conclusion: Moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) can improve the fatigue status of the body after long-term exhaustive exercise by regulating free radical metabolism in rat's hippocampus. To some extent, this provides an experimental basis for moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) against exercise-induced fatigue.展开更多
