THE EFFECTS OF 12-WEEK ISOKINETIC TRAINING ON KNEE STABILIZERS STRENGTH AND THE EFFICIENCY OF THE PERFORMANCE OF GYMNASTICS VAULTS
Abstract The aim of the research was to examine the effects of isokinetic training on knee stabilizer strength, and whether this increases the efficiency of performing basic gymnastics vaults. A total of 60 respondents, students of the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education (average age 19.7±1.5 years, weight 75.3±2.9 kg, height 179.8±6.7 cm) were included. The subjects were divided into two groups, experimental (EG) (n=30) and control (CG) (n=30). As part of the 12-week program, the experimental group (EG) in addition to exercises within the regular classes at the university had an additional concentric isokinetic training 3 times a week on the Biodex System 3 dynamometer, while the control group (CG) only had exercises within the regular classes at the university. The results showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between (EG) and (CG), both, in increasing the strength of the knee stabilizers and in the performance of gymnastics vaults, and the strength of the knee extensors and flexors in favor of (EG). It can be concluded that the additional isokinetic training resulted in a greater increase in strength, but also a better performance of gymnastics vaults. Namen raziskave je bil preveriti učinke izokinetične vadbe za moč mišic stabilizatorjev kolena in ali ta poveča učinkovitost izvajanja osnovnih telovadnih preskokov. Vključenih je bilo 60 merjencev, študentov Fakultete za šport in telesno vzgojo (povprečna starost 19,7±1,5 let, teža 75,3±2,9 kg, višina 179,8±6,7 cm). Preiskovanci so bili razdeljeni v dve skupini, poskusno (EG) (n=30) in nadzorno (KG) (n=30). V okviru 12-tedenske vadbe je poskusna skupina (EG) poleg vaj v okviru rednega pouka na univerzi imela dodatno koncentrično izokinetično vadbo 3x tedensko na dinamometru Biodex System 3, medtem ko je nadzorna skupina (CG) imela samo vaje v okviru rednega pouka na univerzi. Rezultati so pokazali pomembne razlike (p < 0,05) med EG in CG, tako v povečanju moči mišic stabilizatorjev kolena kot v izvedbi telovadnih preskokov v korist EG. Zaključimo lahko, da je dodatna izokinetična vadba povzročila večji porast moči in tudi boljšo izvedbo telovadnih preskokov. Rezultate raziskave lahko uporabimo kot smernice za načrtovanje izokinetične vadbe moči mišic stabilizatorjev kolena, ki bodo pripomogle k boljši izvedbi telovadnih preskokov. Ker je na temo tega dela malo raziskav, ta raziskava predstavlja dober temelj in osnovo za nekatere prihodnje raziskave o učinkih izokinetične vadbe v orodni telovadbi.

THE EFFECT OF 10-WEEK ISOKINETIC TRAINING ON MUSCLE STRENGTH AND GYMNASTIC PERFORMANCE IN PREADOLESCENT FEMALE GYMNAST
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of isokinetic training on muscle strength and gymnastic performance when added to traditional gymnastic training on handspring vault in preadolescent female gymnasts. Twenty female gymnasts with a mean age of 10.50 ± 1.19 years, height 125.50 ± 4.52cm, and body mass 27.30 ± 2.58 kg volunteered to participate in this study. A Cybex II Isokinetic dynamometer was used to measure the peak torque of the knee joint in extension at angular velocities of 60°/sec and 300°/ sec. A Casio EX-F1 (Tokyo, Japan) high speed video camera was placed perpendicular to the optical axis of springboard and vaulting horse. The subjects participated in 10-weeks training for three non-consecutive days per week, 2 hours per day, and separated into two equal groups. The experimental group (EG) followed a specialized training program (technical preparation and muscle strength via Cybex II), whereas the control group (CG) followed the traditional training program (technical preparation and muscle strength). Results showed no significant interaction was found for gymnastic score; however, a significant main effect was found for the time. No significant interaction effect among the three independent variables (group, time, side) was found for the knee extension at 60°/sec. However, the EG had a significantly higher mean values compared to the CG in the post-test. The interaction among the three independent variables with respect to the knee flexion at 300°/sec was not significant. However, the interaction between sides by group was significant. The 10-week isokinetic training added to the traditional training improved the knee strength, which consequently improved aspects of the vault, but did not affect other technical aspects of the handspring performance. Furthermore, results of our study support the claim that optimal performance is the result of a complex interaction of several factors.

EFFECT OF SELECTED PHYSICAL, TECHNICAL AND MOTOR FITNESS VARIABLES ON THE PREDICTION OF POLE VAULTING PERFORMANCE OF MEN
The trends in Athletic Performance, skilled techniques, standards and records has drastically transformed with elite athletes reaching levels which are mind blowing. This is the net result of new innovate track equipment, methods and scientific training and coaching. The inherent ability of individuals predominantly differs and has to be channelized for best results. The identification of potentials is combined responsibility of scientists and educationalists. The main purpose of the study was to find out certain performance variables that would contribute for the development of pole vaulting performance of men. Methods A total of 15 State elite Pole Vaulters were randomly selected as subjects for the study. The dependable variable was the performance of the subject in pole vault and the independent variable selected for the study were speed, height, weight, arm power, leg explosive power, hip flexibility, abdominal endurance, hand grip, effective hand grip and push-off. The Pearson product moment correlation was employed to determine the relationship between the criterion variable and the predictor variables. The multiple regression equation to predict the maximum vaulting height was developed with selected predictor variable. The level of significance was fixed 0.05. Results: The multiple regression analysis showed that the height of the hand grip, push-off and speed were strong predictors of maximum vaulting height. The results also showed that there are many influencing factors of hand grip on the pole like speed, strength, coordination, height of vaulter and the method of pole shift and plant. The push off and speed showed high degree of correlation with performance in pole vault. Conclusion: It was concluded that the speed, height of the hand grip on the pole and push off are very important predictors of reaching maximum height in the event.

Training Optimization for the Decathlon
Decathlon coaches usually spend days or even weeks on designing training schedules for their athletes. A major complication is the fact that the athlete has only limited time for an extensive range of training exercises, whereas the effects of exercises on the athlete's performance in the various events are interrelated. This paper presents a mathematical model for optimizing the use of the total available training time by assigning time to training exercises. The data used in this time capacity planning model concerns a decathlete preparing for the Olympic Games.

Graceful, Beautiful, and Perilous
Compared with other kinds of athletics, gymnastics stands out for its singular combination of bone-jarring impacts, intense training, young age, and ever-more demanding skills. Stokstad describes how young gymnasts many be raising their risk of osteoarthritis and other health problems later in life. He cites that high-level performance increases a gymnast's risk of developing mild deformities of the spine and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
