- PublicationOpen AccessThe effect of physical therapy rehabilitation on fatigue and pain in female patients with fibromyalgia(Universidad de Murcia: servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Abdelaziz, Nada Gamal; Ramzy, Gehan Mahmoud; Fayed, Hala Lotfy; Ahmed, Sara M; Ahmed, Gehan MousaThis study aimed to examine the impact of physical therapy rehabilitation program on fatigue, pain and quality of life in female patients with fibromyalgia. Itwas designed as a single-blinded, randomized, pre and post-test controlled trial. Eighty female patients, aged 25 to 45, diagnosed with fibromyalgia were selected from the Kasr Al Ainyrheumatology outpatient clinic. The participants were allocated into two equal groups using a randomization procedure. Group (A) (control group, n=40) received transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS), moist heat, core muscle retraining, and manual therapy for trigger points, 3 times/week, for 4 weeks. Group (B) (study group, n=40) received the same treatments as Group A, plusaerobic exercises, flexibility exercises, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), 3 times/week, for 4 weeks.Both groups were assessed before and after treatment using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). Statistically significant improvements were observed in FSS and FIQ scores for both groups post-treatment (p<0.05).When the two groups were compared after therapy, the study group (B) showed significantly greater improvement in FSS and FIQ(p<0.05). These findings suggest that physica therapy rehabilitation can effectively reduce fatigue, pain, and improve the quality of life for women with fibromyalgia
- PublicationOpen AccessEffective factors on the development of bodybuilding and fitness clubs in Mashhad, Iran(Universidad de Murcia: servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Karbaschian, Amirreza; Mirzazadeh, Zahra Sadat; Talebpour, MahdiThe aim of this study was to investigate the effective factors in the development of bodybuilding and fitness clubs in Mashhad, Iran. This study was practical in terms of its goals, with an exploratory and analytical implementation method, classifying it as qualitative research. A total of 27 individuals were targeted and selected as samples until theoretical saturation was reached, including athletes, coaches, managers of fitness and bodybuilding clubs, members of the academic faculty of sports sciences at universities, experts from sports departments, and seniors in the field of bodybuilding in Mashhad. For data analysis, the data coding method was employed within a grounded theory framework. Based on the results, the factors affecting the development of bodybuilding and fitness clubs in Mashhad were identified in four main categories, ten sub-categories, and seventy-two components, according to expert opinions and a literature review in this field. These factors included: 1) Facility and infrastructure factors, 2) Financial and economic factors, 3) Professionalism factors, 4) Human resource factors, 5) Event factors, 6) Scientific and educational factors, 7) Organizational and managerial factors, 8) Motivational factors, 9) Media factors, and 10) Cultural-social factors.

- PublicationOpen AccessSocial pressures and their relationship to the achievement motivation of handball players in Jordan(Universidad de Murcia: servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Al-Awdat, Jebril E.; Al-Shawabka, Loay Mohammad; Jawarneh, Randa Saleh; Al-Rawashdeh, Mohammad Salim; Haweeleh, Mohammad Ahmad Abu; Hani, Anan Hussein Bani; Farash, Tamara UsamaThis study aimed to assess the degree of social pressures and their relationship to sports achievement motivation among 51 randomly selected handball players from first-division clubs in Jordan. A descriptive approach was employed, and data were collected via a questionnaire, with analyses conducted using SPSS 26. The results showedthat social pressure levels were moderate, with training pressures being the highest (M = 3.17; a relative importanceof 63.40%), followed by family (M = 2.92;a relative importance of 58.40%) and public pressures (M = 2.32; arelative importance of 46.40%). No statistically significant differences were found in social pressures andsports achievement motivation among handball players based on experience (p > 0.05). While family and public pressures were not significantly correlated with motivation (p>0.05), training and overall pressures were positively correlated with motivation (p<0.05).The study found moderate social pressure among handball players in Jordan, with low public-related pressures and no differences based on experience. Motivation for sports achievement was high, with training-related pressures positively linked to motivation
- PublicationOpen AccessCharacteristics of the participants in mass sporting events in Vietnam(Universidad de Murcia: servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Truong, Tri LeThis study aimed to examine the characteristics of athletes and spectators at mass sports competitions, focusing on aspects such as quantity, age, gender, educational level, occupation, and income to provide a comprehensive demographic overview.The study employed a sociological survey method, sampling 10 localities out of 63 provinces and cities across Vietnam. The survey included 520 spectators (Group 1) and 220 athletes (Group 2), resulting in a total sample size of 740 participants. The results are illustrated using graphical representations. The majority of spectators at mass sport events are aged 23 to under 60, whereas athletes show a more even age distribution, indicatinglower student participation in spectating. Men significantly outnumber women. Most participants hold high school or university degrees, with the largest group being unskilled workers. Students, freelancers, and retirees are more evenly distributed. Professional field participants make up 35.5% of the total. Income-wise, most participants are middle to high-income earners, with nearly half earning between 5 and 10 million VND per month, and 42.3% earning over 10 million VND. Low-income and very high-income individuals are mostly spectators, while medium to high-income individuals are more likely to be athletes
- PublicationOpen AccessThe influence of cardiovascular training methods and level of training on the fitness level of futsal referees(Universidad de Murcia: servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Andrianto, Sigit Dwi; Nopembri, Soni; Subagyo; Ambardini, Rachmah Laksm; Gusdernawati, AuliaThis study aimed to apply cardiovascular training, specifically through intensive interval and extensive interval training methods, to enhance the fitness levels of AFP DIY futsal referees in Indonesia. The study design wasquasi-experimental with a 2x2 factorial design. The research subjects were 36 male AFP DIY futsal referees aged 25-35 years. The training test instrument usedthe Heart Rate Recovery Test (HRRT) and thereferee fitness instrument usedthe FIFA Assistant Referee Intermittent Endurance Test (ARIET).The software used for data analysis was SPSS version 21.0 for Windows. The results indicated that cardiovascular training methods significantly impact the fitness levels of futsal referees (p<0.05).The intensive interval training method positively influenced the fitness of futsal referees (p<0.05). Similarly, the extensive interval training method also had a positive effect on improving the referees' fitness (p<0.05). The group that received the extensive interval training showed greater improvements compared to the intensive interval group, with an increase of 43.48%. Furthermore, there is an interaction between cardiovascular training methods, training levels, and fitness levels (p<0.05).These findings offer valuable insights for futsal referees, emphasizing the importance of selecting the most effective training methods to enhance their fitness levels.
