[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short-term creatine intake on muscle fatigue induced by resistance exercise in healthy adolescent men, i.e., lactic acid concentration and wrist and head tremor measured by an accelerometer. [Methods] Twelve healthy adolescent men who had no experience with creatine intake were included. The subjects were randomly assigned to the creatine group and the placebo group, followed by 5 days of creatine and placebo intake, and 5 times of 5 sets of leg press, leg extension, bench press, and arm curl exercises at 70% repetition maximum (RM). The lactic acid concentration before and after exercising, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and accelerometer-based wrist tremor and head tremor during exercise were measured. Subsequently, after 7 days to allow for creatine washout, the same exercise treatment and measurement were performed in each group after switching drug and placebo between the groups. [Results] The level of lactic acid before and after the acute resistance exercise trial was significantly lower in the creatine group than in the placebo group (P <0.05). The mean RPE during the resistance exercise was significantly lower in the creatine group than in the placebo group (P <0.05). There was no difference between the two groups in the mean wrist tremor during resistance exercise, but the mean head tremor values were significantly lower in the creatine group than in the placebo group in the arm curl, the last event of the exercise trials (P <0.05). [Conclusion] Short-term creatine intake reduces the blood fatigue factor increased by resistance exercise, and is thought to suppress fatigue, especially in the latter half of resistance exercise. Therefore, these findings indicate that short-term creatine intake can have an improved effect on anaerobic exercise performance.

Objective: To investigate the physical appearance and therapeutic changes that occur with the performance of Schroth exercise in patients with scoliosis. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Fifteen subjects with maximum curvature of the lumbar who were diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis had volunteered to participate in the study. Eight subjects were included in the experimental group where they performed the Schroth Therapeutic Exercise and the other seven were included in the control group. The experimental group underwent 2 hours of weekly treatment for 12 weeks, while the control group did not during the same period based on the decisions of patients or guardians. The Mann-Whitney rank test was carried out to compare the treatment results of the two groups, and the comparison within the group was done by Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The vertebral rotation angle (VRA) was by Scoliometer, and difference of rotated and curved portion volume (DV) between both sides on the major curvature portion measured by 3D human body scanning system. Results: In the experimental group, 12 weeks of Schroth exercise therapy has significant improved in correction rate (CR) in Cobb's angle (CA), VRA, and DV between both sides on the major curvature portion (p<0.05), while significant differences were not found between the groups regarding weight bearing difference in both feet (WD) and DV (p<0.05). Conclusions: Schroth exercise performance showed significant changes in the patient's therapeutic changes (CA, VRA), but the physical appearance (DV, WD) was not significant, indicating that external changes in the treatment goal setting are more difficult goals to achieve.

Background: The wall squat exercise has been recommended for strengthening of the lower extremity muscles with maintaining lumbar lordosis. Although squat has been studied to be related to lower extremity extensor strength, the relationship between wall squat and lower extremity extensor strength unclear. Because squat and wall squat are biomechanically different, study on the relationship is needed. Objects: The purpose of this study was to determine the lower extremity extensor strength associated with wall squat performance. Methods: 74 healthy volunteers were recruited to participate in this study. The volunteers were measured hip and knee extensors strength and then performed wall squat exercise for maximum count. Results: We found significant relationships between wall squat performance and hip extensor strength normalized by body weight, knee extensor strength normalized by body weight and the composite value. In a regression analysis, hip extensor strength normalized by body weight explained 29% of the variation in wall squat performance in males and 35% in females. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that hip extensor strength normalized by body weight is critical to wall squat performance in both sexes.

Background: The serratus anterior is one of the most important muscle for maintaining good scapular alignment in the shoulder joint. The pectoralis major and upper trapezius may also compensate for weak serratus anterior muscles. The push-up plus exercise has been identified as the optimal exercise for maximum activation of the serratus anterior. Objects: The purpose of this study was to examine differences in surface electromyography (EMG) activity of upper trapezius, pectoralis major, and serratus anterior muscles during push-up plus exercises on variously angled surfaces in subjects with winged scapula. Methods: Sixteen subjects with winged scapula (male=5, female=11) volunteered for this study. The subjects performed push-up plus exercise on four different tilt angles, namely $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$. EMG activities in the serratus anterior, upper trapezius, and pectoralis major muscles during performance of push-up plus exercise were measured in all subjects. Data were processed from repeated measures one-way analysis of variance. Results: There was significant difference in the muscle activity of the serratus anterior on the different surface angles (p<.05). The results of the post-hoc analysis showed significantly greater serratus anterior muscle activity on a surface at a $0^{\circ}$ angle than at others tilt angles (p<.05). There was also significant difference in the ratio of serratus anterior to upper trapezius and serratus anterior to pectoralis major across the four surfaces (p<.05), and post-hoc analysis showed significantly greater values on the $0^{\circ}$ surface than on other tilts (p<.05). Conclusion: This study found that performing push-up plus exercises on a flat surface with $0^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ tilt angle achieves high activation of the serratus anterior muscle for selective strengthening. It can also take into account the sequential application, which is first performed at a $30^{\circ}$ and at a $0^{\circ}$ tilt angle for and effective but not excessive muscle activation.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Mediterranean diet is an environmentally friendly and healthy diet model. The diet offers many vegetables, fruits, nuts, and olive oil to consumers. In addition, it provides moderate amounts of fish and chicken, smaller quantities of dairy products, red meat, and processed meat. The Mediterranean diet has a high anti-inflammatory and antioxidant content, and it causes many physiological changes that can provide a physical performance advantage. This study examined the effects of a 15-day menu, which was planned using foods with a low acid load within the Mediterranean diet rules, on the exercise performance, lactate elimination, anthropometric measurements, and body composition. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Fifteen professional male athletes between the ages of 13 and 18, who were engaged in ski running, were included in the experimental study. Dietary intervention was applied for 15 days. The athlete performances were evaluated by applying the vertical jump test, hand grip strength, 20 meters shuttle run test, and Borg fatigue scale. After the shuttle run test (every 3 min for 30 min), blood was drawn from the finger, and the lactate elimination time was calculated. Performance and lactate measurements, body analysis, and anthropometric measurements were taken before and after dietary intervention. RESULTS: The vertical jump height and hand grip strength increased after the intervention (P < 0.05). The test duration, total distance, the number of shuttles, and maximum oxygen consumption parameters of the shuttle run test increased (P < 0.05). After the intervention, the athletes' perceived fatigue scores decreased in several stages of the shuttle run test (P < 0.05). The lactate elimination time and athlete's body composition were similar in repeated measurements (P > 0.05). In the last measurements, the upper middle arm circumference decreased while the height of the athletes increased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These results show that the Mediterranean diet is a safe and feasible dietary approach for aerobic performance and strength increase.

배경: 호흡재활치료는 만성 폐질환 환자들의 폐기능을 호전시키지는 못하나 운동허용능(exercise tolerance)을 호전시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이러한 운동허용능이 증가하는 것이 유산소운동 능력 (aerobic exercise capacity)이 중가하기 때문인지는 논란이 있으며, 아직 국내에서 는 호흡재활치료에 대한 보고가 없었다. 방법: 14명의 만성 폐질환 환자(만성폐쇄성폐질환 11명, 유육종증 1명, 기관지확장증 1명, 특발성 폐섬유화증 1명, 평균 연령 $57{\pm}4$세, 남자 12명, 여자 2명)를 대상으로 6 주간의 호흡재활치료를 시행하여 치료 전후의 폐기능과 운동허용능의 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과: 1) 대상 환자의 호흡재활치료 전 평균 노력성 폐활량(FVC), 1초간 노력성호기량($FEV_1$) 및 노력성 호기중간 기류량($FEF_{25-75%}$)은 각각 예측치의 $71.5{\pm}6.4%$, $40.6{\pm}3.4%$ 및 $19.3{\pm}3.8%$ 였으며, 총 폐용량(TLC), 기능적잔기용량(FRC) 및 잔기량(RV)은 각각 $130.3{\pm}9.3%$, $157.3{\pm}13.2%$ 및 $211.1{\pm}23.9%$이었고, 확산능(diffusing capacity) 및 최대 환기량(MVV)은 각각 $59.1{\pm}1.1%$ 및 $48.6{\pm}6.2%$이었다. 이들 각 폐기능의 지표들은 호흡재활치료 전후 유의한 변화는 없었다. 2) 자전거운동력측정계 (bicycle ergometer)를 이용한 운동부하 검사상 최대 운동량(maximum work rate)은 치료전 $57.7{\pm}4.9$ watts 에서 치료후 $64.8{\pm}6.0$ watts로(P=0.036), 최대산소섭취량($VO_2$ max)은 $0.81{\pm}0.07$ L/mm에서 $0.96{\mu}0.08$ L/mm로 (P=0.004), 무산소역치 (anaerobic threshold)는 $0.60{\pm}0.06$ L/mm 에서 $0.76{\mu}0.06$ L/min로(P=0.009) 호흡재활치료후 유의하게 증가하였다. 가스교환은 호흡재활치료 전후에 변화가 없었다. 3) 지구력시험 (endurance test)상 운동일(work)이 상지는 $4.5{\pm}0.7$ joule 에서 $14.8{\pm}2.4$ joule로 (P<0.001), 하지는 $25.4{\pm}5.7$ joule에서 $42.6{\pm}7.7$로 (P<0.001) 모두 재활치료 후 유의하게 증가하였다. 6분 보행거리는 $392{\pm}35$ 미터 에서 $459{\pm}33$ 미터로(P<0.001) 치료 후 연장되었고, 최대 흡기압도 $68.5{\pm}5.4$ $CmH_2O$에서 $80.4{\pm}6.4$ $CmH_2O$로 증가하였다(P<0.001). 결론: 만성 폐질환 환자에서 6주간의 호흡재활치료는 폐기능 및 가스교환을 호전시키지는 못하였지만 운동허용능(exercise tolerance)을 호전시키는 것으로 사료되었다.

연구배경 : 폐기능의 경한 저하는 운동능력이나 작업능력을 제한 시키지 않지만 심한 폐기능 저하는 중요한 제한 요인이 된다. 1980년 세계보건기구(WHO)에서는 폐기능의 감소를 impairment, 운동기능의 감소를 disability로 구분하였으며, 1986년 ATS에서 FVC가 50% 이하로 감소, FEV1이 40% 이하로 감소, FEV1/FVC가 40% 이하로 감소, 혹은 DLCO가 40% 이하로 감소된 경우, 또는 운동부하 검사에서 VO2max가 15 ml/Kg/min 이하이면 거의 모든 작업기능을 수행할 수 없는 심한 장애상태로 평가하였다. 이에 심한 기류폐쇄환자를 대상으로 impairment/disability를 평가하는데 있어 안정시 폐기능 검사와 운동부하검사의 역할 및 상관관계를 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법 : 성한 만성기류폐쇄(CAO; chronic airflow obstruction) 환자 19예를 대상으로 안정시 spirometry와 body plethysmograph를 시행하였으며, cycle ergometer를 이용하여 증상제한적 최대 운동검사(symptom limited maximal exercise test)를 분당 5 - 10 watt 씩 증가시키면서 시행하였다. 환자를 안정시 폐기능검사 결과에 따라 FEV1이 40% 이하인 경우 severe impairment군, 이상인 경우 non-severe impairment 군으로 구분하여 비교하였다. 결과 : 1. Severe impairment 군은 non-severe impairment 군에 비하여 기도폐쇄 및 저산소증이 유의하게 심하였고, VO2max가 유의하게 감소되어 운동수행상태가 현저하게 감소되어 있었다. 2. Severe impairment 군은 운동부하검사에서 환기제한장애(ventilatory limitation)를 보였으며, 운동제한 증상은 10예중 9예가 호흡곤란이었다. 3. 만성기류폐쇄 환자중에서 결핵 파괴성 폐질환 환자의 장애가 가장 심하였다. 4. 안정시 폐기능검사 결과 중에서 FEV1이 심한 장애를 결정하는 가장 유용한 지표였으며, VO2max와의 상관관계도 가장 컷다(r = 0.81, p < 0.001). 5. 안정시 폐기능검사에 의한 심한 폐기능장애(impairment by WHO)는 sensitivity 80%, specificity 89%로 심한 운동장애(disability by WHO)를 예측할 수 있었다. 결론 : 심한 기류폐쇄환자에서는 안정시 폐기능검사 특히 FEV1으로 운동수행상태를 잘 예측할 수 있어, 운동부하검사를 시행하지 않고서도 안정시 폐기능검사인 폐기능 장애(impairment by WHO)에 따라 운동기능 장애(disability by WHO)를 충분히 판단할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
