type: item
description: Prevalence of obesity has increased significantly in the last two or three decades worldwide. The prevalence statistics shows that obesity pandemic is all-pervading even in the developing nations like India. In the present study an effort has been made to report the prevalence of obesity on the basis of body fat percent among school girls of Punjab, total 6000 students were selected with stratified random sampling technique, (2000 each from high, middle & low economic status) ranging in age from 10-17 years. Height and weight were measured in all participants and the body fat percent (BF %) of everyone was calculated. Body fat percent classes based on mode of conveyance (walking/bicycle & vehicle) (under fat, healthy fat, over fat & obese) were calculated according to the body fat percent cut offs lines by the manual of bio electrical impedance machine with scale HBF-361. The observations revealed that the overall mean value of walking/bicycle & vehicle was 18.55%, 26.04% respectively. The observations also revealed that the overall prevalence of under fat, healthy fat, over fat and obesity was 7.3%, 78.7%, 11.3% and 2.6% respectively. The total no. of 3222 subjects were taken as subjects which were coming to school by walking/bicycle and their body fat % category is under fat (13.5%), healthy fat (86.2%), over fat (.2%) & obesity (.0%) respectively. Whereas in the case of those girls which are coming to school by vehicle a total of 2778 school girls were taken and their body fat % category is under fat (.1%), healthy fat (70.1%), over fat (24.1%) & obesity (5.7%). Overweight was more prevalent among those girl students who came to school by using vehicle as a mode of conveyance.

Physical Fitness Differences between Athletes and Non-Athletes at the University Level: A Gender-Based Analysis
type: item
description: Background: Physical fitness is a critical determinant of athletic performance and general health. However, differences in flexibility, balance, and lower-body power between athletes and non-athletes, especially by gender and competitive level, require further investigation. Objective: This study aimed to compare key fitness components—flexibility, balance, and lower-body strength—between university-level athletes and non-athletes, with a focus on sex-based differences. Methods: Eighty students from Jashore University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh (N = 80), participated in the study. They were evenly divided into four groups: male athletes, male non-athletes, female athletes, and female non-athletes (n = 20 per group). Anthropometric data were recorded, and fitness tests included the Sit-and-Reach test (flexibility), One-Leg Stork Stand Test (balance), and Standing Broad Jump (leg power). Independent t-tests were used to compare athletes and non-athletes within each sex. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Male athletes had significantly greater flexibility t(38) = 5.55, p < .001, balance t(38) = 8.24, p < .001, and leg power t(38) = 8.07, p < .001 compared to male non-athletes. Female athletes also outperformed non-athletes in flexibility t(38) = 4.26, p < .001, balance t(38) = 10.26, p < .001, and leg power t(38) = 13.13, p < .001. Conclusion: University athletes, regardless of gender, demonstrated significantly better flexibility, balance, and lower-body power than their non-athlete peers. These findings emphasize the physical benefits of athletic training and support incorporating structured fitness programs into university wellness initiatives.

SPEED ENHANCEMENT THROUGH COMBINED PLYOMETRIC AND SKILL TRAINING: AN 8-WEEK STUDY ON BEGINNER FENCERS
type: item
description: This study investigates the impact of an 8-week plyometric-weight training and fencing-specific skill training program on the speed of beginner fencers aged 10–19 years from Karnal District, Haryana. Sixty beginner fencers were purposively selected and randomly divided into two equal groups: an experimental group (n=30) receiving the integrated training program, and a control group (n=30) undergoing standard fencing training. The 50-Meter Dash Run Test from the AAHPER Youth Physical Fitness Test (1976) was used to assess speed before and after the intervention. Descriptive statistics revealed a significant improvement in post-test speed scores for the experimental group (M=7.08, SD=0.26) compared to the control group (M=7.71, SD=0.29). ANCOVA results demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the groups (F=137.42, p<0.001), with post hoc analysis indicating a mean difference of -0.63 seconds (p<0.001) favoring the experimental group. The results confirm that a combined plyometric-weight and skill-specific training regimen is effective in improving speed performance among beginner fencers. This research underlines the importance of targeted physical conditioning programs for youth athlete development.

THE SCIENCE OF CANCER AND NUTRITION: ANALYZING DIETARY STRATEGIES FOR RISK REDUCTION AND TREATMENT SUPPORT
type: item
description: Purpose - Cancer remains a significant global health issue, with dietary habits playing a crucial role in both its development and progression. This paper looks into explore the relationship between nutrition and cancer risk, exploring the role of dietary patterns on cancer prevention and management. Methods - An in-depth analysis of published studies and medical articles was done to find out how various dietary components influence cancer risk. The research focused on identifying associations between specific nutrients, food groups, and cancer-related mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, and immune modulation. Results -It was found that diets high in processed foods, unhealthy fats, and refined sugars are strongly linked to increased incidences of colorectal, breast, and other types of cancer. In contrast, plant-based diets rich in antioxidants, fibre, and phytochemicals may help lower cancer risks by reducing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, improving blood sugar control, and enhancing insulin sensitivity. Key dietary elements like omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and probiotics might also play a role in lowering cancer chances by supporting gut microbiota and strengthening immune defences. Conclusion - Eating a well-rounded and wholesome diet is a promising strategy to reduce cancer risk and support treatment outcomes. The study stresses the need for public health initiatives focused on nutrition education and dietary reforms as integral components of cancer prevention strategies.

Kinanthropometric Predictors of Event-Specific Performance in Track and Field Athletes
type: item
description: Purpose: Kinanthropometry, the scientific measurement of human body size, shape, proportion, and composition, plays a critical role in understanding athletic performance. This narrative review aims to explore the current literature on kinanthropometric predictors of event-specific performance in track and field athletes. The review focuses on identifying key physical attributes contributing to success in different events, highlighting the importance of tailored training and talent identification strategies. Methods: A structured literature search was conducted across databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science using combinations of keywords: “kinanthropometry,” “track and field,” “event-specific performance,” “bodycomposition,” “limb girths,” and “anthropometric predictors.” Approximately 45 peer-reviewed studies were included that investigated the relationship between kinanthropometric variables and performance in specific track and field events across age groups, genders, and competitive levels. Study quality was assessed using PRISMA guidelines and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Publication bias was evaluated by examining funnel plots and calculating Egger’s test where applicable. Results: The review identified three primary kinanthropometric domains relevant to track and field performance: body composition (body mass index, body fat percentage, lean body mass), skeletal structure (height, limb lengths), and limb girths. Throwing events consistently favored athletes with higher body mass, greater lean mass, and larger upper limb girths. Distance running events showed stronger correlations with lower body fat percentages and longer limb lengths. Sprinting and jumping events were significantly predicted by both lower and upper limb girths, reflecting the importance of muscle cross-sectional area and explosive strength. Despite these findings, research heterogeneity and inconsistent measurement protocols limit the comparability of results across studies. Concl…

Gender Based Disparities in Anxiety Experienced by Athletes and their Coping Mechanisms
type: item
description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the anxiety levels experienced by male and female athletes and their coping skills in managing anxiety. The research aimed to address gaps in understanding how psychological traits, beyond biological sex, influence athletes' anxiety and coping strategies. Additionally, the study focused on age- and sport-specific differences by concentrating on younger athletes participating in handball, volleyball, and basketball. Method: Data were collected from 60 athletes (30 males and 30 females) aged 12-16 years, representing handball, volleyball, and basketball. The Athletic Coping Skill Inventory-28 and the Sports Anxiety Scale-2 questionnaires were used to assess coping skills and anxiety levels, respectively. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, and Pearson correlation, were conducted using IBM SPSS-27. Results: The results showed no statistically significant gender differences in total anxiety (p = 0.106), the three sub-domains of anxiety-somatic anxiety (p = 0.158), worry (p = 0.886), concentration disruption (p = 0.136)-or coping skills (p = 0.903). However, female athletes exhibited slightly higher anxiety levels than males. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a weak negative relationship between sports anxiety and coping skills for both genders, but these correlations were not statistically significant for males (r = -0.113, p = 0.551) or females (r = -0.227, p = 0.228). Conclusions: The study concludes that individual psychological traits and training experiences may play a more significant role in shaping anxiety and coping responses than gender alone. The authors recommend future research with larger and more diverse samples to further clarify these relationships and inform targeted psychological interventions for athletes.

Does Hand Grip Strength Serve as a Reliable Functional Marker for Quantifying Muscle Recovery?
type: item
description: Objective: Hand grip strength (HGS) is widely used as an indicator of muscle function, but its potential as a direct marker of functional recovery following exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hand grip strength (HGS) as a functional marker for quantifying muscle recovery following exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Methods: A repeated-measures design was employed, wherein HGS and VAS were recorded at baseline, immediately post-exercise, and at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-exercise. A one-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to assess changes over time, followed by Tukey’s post hoc analysis. Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationship between HGS and VAS. Results: Significant time effects were observed for both HGS (F (4,48) = 3.950, p = 0.008, η² = 0.248) and VAS (F (4,48) = 27.134, p = 0.000, η² = 0.693) scores (p < 0.05). HGS significantly declined immediately post-exercise, followed by a gradual recovery at 24 and 48 hours, with the smallest difference from baseline at 72 hours. VAS scores remained at zero at baseline, peaked between 24 and 48 hours, and declined at 72 hours. No significant correlation was found between HGS and VAS at any time point, indicating that these measures capture distinct aspects of muscle recovery. Conclusion: HGS appears to be a useful objective marker of functional muscle recovery, particularly in settings requiring immediate assessment, such as sports competitions or rehabilitation. However, its use should be complemented with subjective measures like VAS to provide a comprehensive evaluation of muscle recovery post-EIMD.

Features of Physical Rehabilitation of Students with various Diseases Studying at Universities
type: item
description: Background of the Study: The health status of students in the context of COVID-19 and during the war in Ukraine is changing, which requires the study and implementation of new methods in physical education at universities. Purpose: The aim of the study was to substantiate the necessity of physical rehabilitation within the university curriculum, individualized according to the assessment of health, physical development, and physical fitness of the students from a special medical group, to improve the students' quality of life. Materials and Methods: The study engaged 362 students aged 19.54+1.41 years. Among those surveyed in the special medical group consisted of 143 students. The students were divided into 4 subgroups according to their medical charts analysis, in order to differentiate rehabilitation physical education means and the activity regimen. The students of groups I and II were recommended sparing physical exercise regimen, groups III and IV – sparing and sparing-training physical exercise regimen. Results: The implementation of the offered method improved both students’ somatic health (the poor health level group decreased by 25.6% of the students, the average health group – by 9% of the students upon completing the study) and physical fitness level (the average health group increased by 18% of the students, 4.8% at the end of the study showed health level which exceeded the average one; the share of the students with poor physical fitness decreased by 22.9%). This made possible the re-distribution of the students into different physical education groups (finally the physical rehabilitation group decreased by 13.2%). Conclusions: The conducted studies established that differentiation of physical education methods related to the students’ somatic disorders is beneficial. These data provide the basis for implementing physical rehabilitation into the university curriculum within physical education classes.

Optimising Bone Health in Female Athletes: A Narrative Review
type: item
description: Bone health is crucial for female athletes to optimize performance, prevent injuries, and ensure long-term well-being. Factors like hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, and overtraining can compromise skeletal integrity, increasing risks of stress fractures, osteoporosis, and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). This review highlights strategies to maintain bone health, focusing on adolescence and early adulthood as critical periods for achieving peak bone mass through weight-bearing and high-impact exercises. The Female Athlete Triad—low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and reduced bone mineral density—is a significant risk factor often linked to disordered eating. Nutritional strategies, including sufficient intake of calcium, vitamin D, and balanced diets, are essential for bone health. Exercise interventions like resistance training and plyometrics enhance bone density, while structured training programs with adequate rest reduce cumulative stress on bones. Monitoring menstrual cycles and timely hormonal interventions address menstrual irregularities affecting bone health. Tools like DEXA scans allow early detection of bone density issues, especially in postmenopausal women. Preventive measures, including education and multidisciplinary approaches, help manage conditions like RED-S and promote awareness. Emerging technologies, such as biomarkers and genetic testing, enable personalized care and monitoring. A holistic approach involving collaboration among sports physicians, dietitians, and psychologists ensures optimal bone health, reducing injury risks and supporting athletes’ overall well-being across all life stages.

Perceived Stress as a Predictor of Well-being in Football Players: A Simple Linear Regression Analysis
type: item
description: Sports psychology is growing in terms of its influence on athlete performance and well-being. Despite this, the relationship between perceived stress and well-being among football players remains under explored, particularly in India. This study aims to assess this association, addressing the dearth of research on the psychological aspects of football athletes. A regression analysis involving 143 football players from Delhi University was conducted. The sample comprised 120 males (83.91%) and 23 females (16.08%), aged between 17 to 23 years (mean = 19.3, SD = 1.03). Participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) by Cohen et al. (1983) and the Personal Well being Scale (PWS) by Benson et al. (2019) to measure perceived stress and subjective well-being, respectively. The results of regression suggested that perceived stress explained 19.3% of the variance, R2= 0.193, F (1, 141) = 33.7, p< 0.001. This underscores the adverse impact of stress on athletes' overall well-being. The findings emphasize the necessity of interventions to address stress management and enhance well-being among football players. Future research should explore additional factors influencing stress and well-being, guiding tailored approaches to support athlete mental health.
