SHORT HISTORICAL NOTES XXX
All information on these pages is from Anton's archives and collected through years. 8th Olympic Games in Paris Artistic Gymnastics competition was for men only. Long horse vault had special rules. In front of horse it was placed a stick at certain height and according to the height, maximum score was defined: 170 cm for 10 points, and than for each 5 cm less one point less.

Investigation of the effect of sport climbing training on some physical parameters of athletes
This study was carried out to determine the effect of climbing training on the physical parameters of the athletes. The research group consists of 16 male volunteer athletes actively continuing in the climbing branch. A training program for climbing of 80 minutes a day, four days a week for ten weeks, was applied to the athletes in the research group. The research group consists of 16 male volunteer athletes with an average age of 14.82 who continue actively in the climbing branch. A training program for climbing of 80 minutes a day, four days a week for ten weeks, was applied to the athletes in the research group. Height, body weight, leg strength, hand grip strength, vertical jump, speed, flexibility and agility values of the research group were measured at the beginning and end of the training. SPSS statistical package program was used in the analysis of the data. The significance level was accepted as p>0.05. As a result of the research, it was determined that there was a statistical difference in the physical parameters of climbing players, such as leg strength, hand grip strength, vertical jump, flexibility, agility and ten meters (p<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference at the twenty-meter value (p). >0.05). As a result, it has been seen that climbing training positively affects the physical parameters of the athletes. In this context, we believe that regular training will improve the performance of the athletes.

A soft microrobot with highly deformable 3D actuators for climbing and transitioning complex surfaces
The climbing microrobots have attracted growing attention due to their promising applications in exploration and monitoring of complex, unstructured environments. Soft climbing microrobots based on muscle-like actuators could offer excellent flexibility, adaptability, and mechanical robustness. Despite the remarkable progress in this area, the development of soft microrobots capable of climbing on flat/curved surfaces and transitioning between two different surfaces remains elusive, especially in open spaces. In this study, we address these challenges by developing voltage-driven soft small-scale actuators with customized 3D configurations and active stiffness adjusting. Combination of programmed strain distributions in liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) and buckling-driven 3D assembly, guided by mechanics modeling, allows for voltage-driven, complex 3D-to-3D shape morphing (bending angle > 200°) at millimeter scales (from 1 to 10 mm), which is unachievable previously. These soft actuators enable development of morphable electroadhesive footpads that can conform to different curved surfaces and stiffness-variable smart joints that allow different locomotion gaits in a single microrobot. By integrating such morphable footpads and smart joints with a deformable body, we report a multigait, soft microrobot (length from 6 to 90 mm, and mass from 0.2 to 3 g) capable of climbing on surfaces with diverse shapes (e.g., flat plane, cylinder, wavy surface, wedge-shaped groove, and sphere) and transitioning between two distinct surfaces. We demonstrate that the microrobot could navigate from one surface to another, recording two corresponding ceilings when carrying an integrated microcamera. The developed soft microrobot can also flip over a barrier, survive extreme compression, and climb bamboo and leaf.

Short-term effects of brief stair climbing interruptions on postprandial hyperglycemia during prolonged sitting: a randomized cross-over trial
Prolonged sitting can negatively impact postprandial glucose levels and cognitive function. While short bouts of stair climbing are thought to mitigate these risks, the findings remain inconclusive. The present study aimed to explore the effects of stair climbing bouts on postprandial glucose and cognitive functions during prolonged sitting. Twenty-eight sedentary young adults (aged 20–30 years) underwent two intervention visits after standardised lunch for two hours: (1) STAIR: the participants climbed two flight of stairs for two minutes every 30 min; (2) SIT: the participants continued to sit. Blood glucose was measured using capillary finger prick method while attention function was measured using computer-based cognitive tests at baseline, end of 1st hour and 2nd hour. Significant interaction (F
2, 54
= 15.96,
p
< 0.001) was observed for conditions and time. During STAIR visit, significant changes in postprandial glucose at 1st hour (β = − 2.6 mmol/dl,
p
< 0.001) and 2nd hour (β = 3.0 mmol/dl,
p
< 0.001). No significant difference in the attention functions with time and conditions was observed. Stair climbing interruptions may serve as a feasible and effective countermeasure to high glycaemic variability or excursions that occur during prolonged sitting after postprandial hyperglycaemia.
