However, appropriate protocols and data on various groups of athletes are missing. We investigated intra-rater reliability of SAT measurements using ultrasound in elite canoe athletes. 25 international level canoeists (18 male, 7 female; 23 +/- 4 years; 81 +/- 11 kg; 1.83 +/- 0.09 m; 20 +/- 3 training h/wk) were measured on 2 consecutive days. SAT was assessed with B-mode ultrasound at 8 sites (ISAK): triceps, subscapular, biceps, iliac crest, supraspinal, abdominal, front thigh, medial calf, and quantified using image analysis software. Data was analyzed descriptively (mean +/- SD, [range]). Coefficient of variation (CV %), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC, 2.1) and absolute (LoA) and ratio limits of agreement (RLoA) were calculated for day-to-day reliability. Mean sum of SAT thickness was 30.0 +/- 19.4 mm [8.0, 80.1 mm], with 3.9 +/- 1.8 mm [1.2 mm subscapular, 8.0 mm abdominal] for individual sites. CV for the sum of sites was 4.7 %, ICC 0.99, LoA 1.7 +/- 3.6 mm, RLoA 0.940 (*/divided by 1.155). Measuring SAT with ultrasound has proved to have excellent day-to-day reliability in elite canoe athletes. Recommendations for standardization of the method will further increase accuracy and reproducibility.

Despite the widely used application of Ultrasonography (US) in musculoskeletal assessment, its operator dependency and lack of standardization influences the consistency of the measurement. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the intra-rater reproducibility of a standardized US method assessing the structural properties of the Achilles tendon (AT). METHODS: Sixteen asymptomatic participants were positioned prone on an isokinetic dynamometer with the knee extended and ankle at 90. flexion. US was used to assess AT-length, cross-sectional area (CSA), and AT-elongation during isometric plantarflexion contraction. The intra-rater reproducibility was assessed by ICC (2.1), Test-Retest Variability (TRV, %), Bland-Altman analyses (Bias +/- LoA [1.96*SD]), and Standard-Error of Measurement (SEM). RESULTS: Measurements of AT-length demonstrated an ICC of 0.93, TRV of 4.5 +/- 3.9%, Bias +/- LoA of -2.8 +/- 25.0 mm and SEM of 6.6 mm. AT-CSA showed an ICC of 0.79, TRV of 8.7 +/- 9.6%, Bias +/- LoA of 1.7 +/- 19.4 mm(2) and SEM of 5.3 mm(2). AT-elongation revealed an ICC of 0.92, TRV of 12.9 +/- 8.9%, Bias +/- LoA of 0.3 +/- 5.7 mm and SEM of 1.5 mm. CONCLUSIONS: The presented methodology allows a reproducible assessment of Achilles tendon structural properties when performed by a single rater.

Of note, under unstable conditions, trunk muscles seem to have a stabilizing function during exercise to facilitate the transfer of torques and angular momentum between the lower and upper extremities. The present thesis addresses the acute effects of surface instability on performance during jump-landing tasks. Additionally, the long-term effects (i.e., training) of surface instability were examined with a focus on the role of the trunk in athletic performance/physical fitness. Healthy adolescent, and young adult subjects participated in three cross-sectional and one longitudinal study, respectively. Performance in jump-landing tasks on stable and unstable surfaces was assessed by means of a ground reaction force plate. Trunk muscle strength (TMS) was determined using an isokinetic device or the Bourban TMS test. Physical fitness was quantified by standing long jump, sprint, stand-and-reach, jumping sideways, Emery balance, and Y balance test on stable surfaces. In addition, activity of selected trunk and leg muscles and lower limb kinematics were recorded during jump-landing tasks. When performing jump-landing tasks on unstable compared to stable surfaces, jump performance and leg muscle activity were significantly lower. Moreover, significantly smaller knee flexion angles and higher knee valgus angles were observed when jumping and landing on unstable compared to stable conditions and in women compared to men. Significant but small associations were found between behavioral and neuromuscular data, irrespective of surface condition. Core strength training on stable as well as on unstable surfaces significantly improved TMS, balance and coordination. The findings of the present thesis imply that stable rather than unstable surfaces provide sufficient training stimuli during jump exercises (i.e., plyometrics). Additionally, knee motion strategy during plyometrics appears to be modified by surface instability and sex. Of note, irrespective of surface condition, trunk muscles only play a minor role for leg muscle performance/activity during jump exercises. Moreover, when implemented in strength training programs (i.e., core strength training), there is no advantage in using instability training devices compared to stable surfaces in terms of enhancement of athletic performance. N2 - Instabile Trainingsgeräte sind etablierte Bestandteile im sportlichen Training und in der Rehabilitation, um instabile Untergründe während verschiedener alltags- und sportartspezifischer Bewegungen zu simulieren. Dabei scheint der Rumpfmuskulatur insbesondere unter instabilen Bedingungen eine wichtige Rolle zur Stabilisierung zu zukommen. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich den Akuteffekten von Untergrundinstabilität auf die Leistung bei Sprüngen und Landungen. Zudem wurden Langzeiteffekte von Untergrundinstabilität auf die Bedeutung des Rumpfes für die sportliche/sportmotorische Leistung untersucht. Gesunde Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene nahmen an drei Quer- bzw. einer Längsschnittstudie teil. Die Leistung der Sprung-Lande-Aufgaben auf stabilen und instabilen Untergründen wurde mittels Kraftmessplatte erfasst. Die Rumpfkraft wurde mit einem Isokineten oder dem Bourban-Rumpfkraft-Test gemessen. Die Ermittlung sportmotorischer Leistungen erfolgte durch Standweitsprung-, Sprint-, Rumvorbeuge-, Seitsprung-, Emery- und Y-Balance-Test auf stabilen Untergründen. Zudem wurde die Aktivität ausgewählter Rumpf- und Beinmuskeln und Beinkinematik während der Sprung-Lande-Aufgaben erfasst. Sprung-Lande-Aufgaben auf instabilen im Vergleich zu stabilen Unterlagen führten zu signifikant geringeren Sprungleistungen und Beinmuskelaktivitäten. Dabei wurden die Kniegelenke unter instabilen im Vergleich zu stabilen Bedingungen stärker extendiert und valgisiert. Dies gilt auch für Frauen im Vergleich zu Männern während des Springens und Landens. Zusammenhänge zwischen den Verhaltens- und neuromuskulären Daten unabhängig vom Untergrund sind als gering einzuschätzen sind. Ein Rumpfkrafttraining auf stabilen sowie auf instabilen Untergründen verbesserte die Rumpfkraft, das Gleichgewicht und die Koordination. Zusammenfassend zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass stabile gegenüber instabilen Unterlagen bessere Voraussetzungen bei Sprungübungen zur Steigerung der Sprungleistung im Training schaffen. Zudem scheint die biomechanische Kontrollstrategie des Kniegelenks bei Sprüngen durch den Untergrund und das Geschlecht modifiziert. Dabei ist zu erwähnen, dass für den Leistungsvollzug der unteren Extremitäten beim Springen der Rumpf unabhängig von den Untergrundbedingungen nur eine kleine Rolle zu spielen scheint. Darüber hinaus zeigen instabile gegenüber stabilen Untergründen in einem Rumpfkrafttraining keinen Vorteil hinsichtlich der Steigerung sportlicher Leistungen.

A1 - Büsch, Dirk A1 - Mühlbauer, Thomas T1 - The Role of Instability with Plyometric Training in Sub-elite Adolescent Soccer Players JF - International journal of sports medicine N2 - The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of plyometric training on stable (SPT) vs. highly unstable surfaces (IPT) on athletic performance in adolescent soccer players. 24 male sub-elite soccer players (age: 15 +/- 1 years) were assigned to 2 groups performing plyometric training for 8 weeks (2 sessions/week, 90min each). The SPT group conducted plyometrics on stable and the IPT group on unstable surfaces. Tests included jump performance (countermovement jump [CMJ] height, drop jump [DJ] height, DJ performance index), sprint time, agility and balance. Statistical analysis revealed significant main effects of time for CMJ height (p<0.01, f=1.44), DJ height (p<0.01, f=0.62), DJ performance index (p<0.05, f=0.60), 0-10-m sprint time (p<0.05, f=0.58), agility (p<0.01, f=1.15) and balance (p<0.05, 0.46f1.36). Additionally, a Training groupxTime interaction was found for CMJ height (p<0.01, f=0.66) in favor of the SPT group. Following 8 weeks of training, similar improvements in speed, agility and balance were observed in the IPT and SPT groups. However, the performance of IPT appears to be less effective for increasing CMJ height compared to SPT. It is thus recommended that coaches use SPT if the goal is to improve jump performance.

Both stressful life events (SLES) and neural correlates of learning [specifically, a key mediator of adaptive learning in the brain, namely the ventral striatal representation of prediction errors (PE)] have been shown to be associated with individual differences in fluid IQ. Here, we examine the interaction between adaptive learning signals (using a well-characterized probabilistic reversal learning task in combination with fMRI) and SLES on fluid IQ measures. We find that the correlation between ventral striatal BOLD PE and fluid IQ, which we have previously reported, is quantitatively modulated by the amount of reported SLES. Thus, after experiencing adversity, basic neuronal learning signatures appear to align more closely with a general measure of flexible learning (fluid IQ), a finding complementing studies on the effects of acute stress on learning. The results suggest that an understanding of the neurobiological correlates of trait variables like fluid IQ needs to take socioemotional influences such as chronic stress into account.

Several studies indicate that IAT scores can be faked on instruction. But fully or semi-instructed research scenarios might not properly reflect what happens in more realistic situations, when participants secretly decide to try faking the test. The present study is the first to investigate IAT faking when there is only an implicit incentive to do so. Sixty-five athletes (22.83 years +/- 2.45; 25 women) were randomly assigned to an incentive-to-fake condition or a control condition. Participants in the incentive-to-fake condition were manipulated to believe that athletes with lenient doping attitudes would be referred to a tedious 45-minute anti-doping program. Attitudes were measured with the pictorial doping brief IAT (BIAT) and with the Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale (PEAS). A one-way MANOVA revealed significant differences between conditions after the manipulation in PEAS scores, but not in the doping BIAT. In the light of our hypothesis this suggests that participants successfully faked an exceedingly negative attitude to doping when completing the PEAS, but were unsuccessful in doing so on the reaction time-based test. This study assessed BIAT faking in a setting that aimed to resemble a situation in which participants want to hide their attempts to cheat. The two measures of attitude were differentially affected by the implicit incentive. Our findings provide evidence that the pictorial doping BIAT is relatively robust against spontaneous and naive faking attempts. (B) IATs might be less prone to faking than implied by previous studies.

A total of 1,377 consecutive patients (mean age 58.2 +/- 9.9 years, 82.2 % male) with arterial hypertension were included in the ESTher (Endorganschaden, Therapie und Verlauf - target organ damage, therapy, and course) registry at 15 rehabilitation clinics within the framework of the National Genome Research Network. Cardiovascular risk factors, medication, comorbidities, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were assessed. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were determined by two-dimensional echocardiography. The mean follow-up was 513 +/- 159 days. Changes in continuous parameters were tested by the t test, changes in discrete characteristics are presented by means of transition tables and tested with the McNemar test. The mean LVEF was 59.3 +/- 9.9 %, both mean LVM (238.6 +/- 101.5 g) and LVMI (54.0 +/- 23.6 g/m(2.7)) were increased while relative wall thickness (RWT, 0.46 +/- 0.18) indicated the presence of concentric LVH. Of the patients, 10.2 % displayed renal dysfunction (estimated GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2)). The 1.5-year overall mortality was 1.2 %. Compared with discharge, at follow-up the proportion of patients with blood pressure (BP) values < 140/90 mmHg decreased from 68.7 % to 55.0 % (p < 0.001) and with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) values < 100 mg/dl from 62.6 % to 38.1 % (p < 0.001). At follow-up significantly more patients displayed a GFR value of < 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) (10.2 % vs. 16.0 %, p < 0.001). A significant proportion of hypertensive rehabilitation participants displayed TOD including LVH and renal dysfunction. Even after stringent BP reduction, a considerable increase in nephropathy could be found after 18 months.

Evidence suggests a similar trend for women of Turkish origin in Germany, yet data on suicidal behaviour in minorities in Germany is scarce. The objective was to examine rates of suicidal behaviour, underlying motives, and to explore the effectiveness of an intervention program. Methods: From 05/2009-09/2011, data on all suicide attempts among women of Turkish origin who presented at a hospital-based emergency unit in Berlin, Germany, were collected. A multi-modal intervention was conducted in 2010 and the effects of age, generation and the intervention on suicide attempt rates were examined. Results: At the start, the highest rate was found in women aged 18-24 years with 225.4 (95% CI = 208.8-242.0)/100,000. Adjustment disorder was the most prevalent diagnosis with 49.7% (n = 79), being more common in second-generation women (P = .004). Further analyses suggested an effect of the intervention in the youngest age group (trend change of beta = -1.25; P = .017). Conclusion: Our findings suggest a particularly high rate of suicide attempts by 18-24-year-old, second-generation women of Turkish origin in Berlin. Furthermore, our results suggest a trend change in suicide attempts in women aged 18-24 years related to a population-based intervention program. (C) 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Ground reaction forces as well as knee valgus and flexion angles were tested in 14 males (age: 23 +/- 2 years) and 14 females (age: 24 +/- 3 years) when jumping and landing on stable and unstable surfaces. Jump height was found to be significantly lower (9 %, p < 0.001) when drop jumps were performed on unstable vs. stable surface. Significantly higher peak ground reaction forces were observed when jumping was performed on unstable vs. stable surfaces (5 %, p = 0.022). Regarding frontal plane kinematics during jumping and landing, knee valgus angles were higher on unstable compared to stable surfaces (1932 %, p < 0.05). Additionally, at the onset of ground contact during landings, females showed higher knee valgus angles than males (222 %, p = 0.027). Sagittal plane kinematics indicated significantly smaller knee flexion angles (6-35 %, p < 0.05) when jumping and landing on unstable vs. stable surfaces. During drop jumps and landings, women showed smaller knee flexion angles at ground contact compared to men (27-33 %, p < 0.05).

Next to this behavioral approach, correlations were also computed on a neuromuscular level between trunk and leg muscle activity during the same test conditions. Twenty-nine healthy and physically active subjects (age 23 +/- A 3 years) were enrolled in this study. Peak isokinetic torque (PIT) of the trunk flexors and extensors was assessed separately on an isokinetic device. In addition, tests included drop jumps (DJ) on a force plate under stable and unstable (i.e., balance pad on top of the force plate) surfaces. Lower limb kinematics as well as electromyographic activity of selected trunk and leg muscles were analyzed. Significant positive but small correlations (0.50 a parts per thousand currency sign r a parts per thousand currency sign 0.66, p < 0.05) were detected between trunk extensor PIT and athletic performance measures (i.e., DJ height, DJ performance index), irrespective of surface condition. Further, significant negative but small correlation coefficients were examined between trunk extensor PIT and knee valgus motion under stable and unstable surface conditions (-0.48 a parts per thousand currency sign r a parts per thousand currency sign -0.45, p < 0.05). In addition, significant positive but small correlations (0.45 a parts per thousand currency sign r a parts per thousand currency sign 0.68, p < 0.05) were found between trunk and leg muscle activity, irrespective of surface condition. Behavioral and neuromuscular data from this study indicate that, irrespective of the surface condition (i.e., jumping on stable or unstable ground), the trunk plays a minor role for leg muscle performance/activity during DJ. This implies only limited effects of trunk muscle strengthening on jump performance in the stretch-shortening cycle.

Methods 1152 patients presenting for CR were screened for sleep-disordered breathing with 2-channel polygraphy (ApneaLink; ResMed). Parameters recorded included the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI), number of desaturations per hour of recording (ODI), mean and minimum nocturnal oxygen saturation and number of snoring episodes. Patients rated subjective sleep quality on a scale from 1 (poor) to 10 (best) and completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Results Clinically significant sleep apnoea (AHI 15/h) was documented in 33% of patients. Mean AHI was 1416/h (range 0-106/h). Sleep apnoea was defined as being of moderate severity in 18% of patients (AHI 15-29/h) and severe in 15% (AHI 30/h). There were small, but statistically significant, differences in ESS score and subjective sleep quality between patients with and without sleep apnoea. Logistic regression model analysis identified the following as risk factors for sleep apnoea in CR patients: age (per 10 years) (odds ratio (OR) 1.51; p<0.001), body mass index (per 5 units) (OR 1.31; p=0.001), male gender (OR 2.19; p<0.001), type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 1.45; p=0.040), haemoglobin level (OR 0.91; p=0.012) and witnessed apnoeas (OR 1.99; p<0.001). Conclusions The findings of this study indicate that more than one-third of patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation in Germany have sleep apnoea, with one-third having moderate-to-severe SDB that requires further evaluation or intervention. Inclusion of sleep apnoea screening as part of cardiac rehabilitation appears to be appropriate.

The study aimed to determine prevalence of tendinopathy and intratendinous changes in ATs and PTs of adolescent athletes. A total of 760 adolescent athletes (13.0 +/- 1.9 years; 160 +/- 13cm; 50 +/- 14kg) were examined. History, local clinical examination, and longitudinal Doppler ultrasound analysis for both ATs and PTs were performed including identification of intratendinous echoic changes and vascularization. Diagnosis of tendinopathy was complied clinically in case of positive history of tendon pain and tendon pain on palpation. Achilles tendinopathy was diagnosed in 1.8% and patellar tendinopathy in 5.8%. Vascularizations were visible in 3.0% of ATs and 11.4% of PTs, hypoechogenicities in 0.7% and 3.2% as well as hyperechogenicities in 0% and 0.3%, respectively. Vascularizations and hypoechogenicities were statistically significantly more often in males than in females (P0.02). Subjects with patellar tendinopathy had higher prevalence of structural intratendinous changes than those without PT symptoms (P0.001). In adolescent athletes, patellar tendinopathy is three times more frequent compared with Achilles tendinopathy. Longitudinal studies are necessary to investigate physiological or pathological origin of vascularizations and its predictive value in development of tendinopathy.
