“…On the other hand, in the comparison with the firm surface, a significant reduction was observed only with EC. These results may confirm hypothesis of previous studies about the beneficial effects of plantar sensory stimulation through a textured surface (Palazzo et al 2014(Palazzo et al , 2019Annino et al 2015Annino et al , 2018, especially in eyes-closed conditions (Qiu et al 2012;Kenny et al 2019b), and the negative effects of the foam surface on postural control (Teasdale et al 1991).…”

“…Under the different surface conditions, all subjects stood barefoot with the full length of both feet in contact with the force platform with their arms relaxed along their side to avoid inappropriate results, and they were also asked to sway as little as possible. Both feet were abducted at 30° and the heels were spaced 9 cm apart (Palazzo et al 2019). Participants were not familiarized with the surfaces before the test.…”

In previous studies, the influence of plantar sensation has been examined using various textured surfaces with different stiffness materials to assess static balance. This study investigated the effects of a Firm Textured Surface (FTS) along with age and sex-related influences on postural control under different visual conditions. Forty subjects (20 elderly, 10 males, mean age 68.30, 10 females, mean age 68.00, and 20 young people, 10 males, mean age 25.45, 10 females, mean age 27.30) participated in this study maintained a quiet standing on FTS, foam and firm surfaces with eyes open and closed. The center of pressure displacement (CoPDISP), CoP velocity (CoPVEL), and sway velocity of the CoP in anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) direction (VA/P and VM/L) were measured. FTS was associated with lower postural sway measures in both the groups with eyes open and closed. However, the foam surface showed the worst results in all postural parameters under all experimental conditions. Separate four-way ANOVAs were applied to each dependent variable. The main effects of surface (p < 0.0001), vision (p < 0.0001) and age (p < 0.0001 for CoPDISP, CoPVEL and VA/P; p = 0.0003 for VM/L) were significant in each of the four fitted models. Sex was never significant, either as a main effect or an interaction with other experimental factors. Eyes open were able to reduce the negative effects of the foam surfaces but without vision the proprioceptive sensory system cues of the body state become more important for maintaining balance. A good stimulation with rigid texture should be considered as relief to reduce the physiological-related decline of afferent information with age.

“…Probably the interaction between hard gym ground surface and barefoot players conditions, who performed in this study, was enough to maintain the postural control through the activity of the afferent mediated by plantar mechanoreceptors respect to foam surface as used in standard sport shoes [53]. In a recent study, Palazzo and colleagues [55] showed a less decrease of postural control in the group that used textured insoles inside the athletic shoes, compared with the group that used standard athletic shoes. Therefore, it is possible to suggest that the use of balance barefoot exercise routine with a long time could imply a greater amount of information from the foot tactile system with a consequent increase of the postural control and a promising decrease of the sports injury risk.…”

Background and Objectives: Ankle joint is the most common site of injury for basketball athletes. An effective warm-up (WU) is a period of preparatory exercise to improve training performance and reduce sports injuries. Continuous examination of effective WU routines in basketball players is a necessity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of general and combined warm up on ankle injury range of motion (ROM) and balance in young female basketball players. Materials and Methods: A sample of 28 young female basketball players were randomly allocated to either global warm up control group (GWU) (n = 11) or combined warm up experimental group (CWU) (n = 17). All participants performed 7-min of run. The CWU group performed a single leg stance barefoot with eyes closed, plank forearm position and triceps sural stretching. Participants in GWU performed walking ball handling and core stability using a Swiss ball. Both WU routines were conducted 3 times per week for 10 weeks. Outcome measurements were the Stabilometric platform and dorsiflexion lunge test. Results: Twenty-eight young female basketball players completed the study. Participants in the experimental group improved significantly in the range of motion (ROM) in right and left ankle and the center of pressure displacement (CoP). The control group did not show any changes in ankle dorsiflexion and a significant reduction in all body balance parameters. Conclusions: An 8-min combined warm-up routine for 10 weeks improves the ankle dorsiflexion ROM and CoP displacement that plays a key role in ankle injuries prevention in basketball players. Further studies are strongly needed to verify our findings.

“…In both cases, the forearm (ECR) had a greater MF decrease compared with the shoulder (UT). According to previous studies, fatigue develops in static postures with little variability (Palazzo et al, 2019; Trevisan et al, 2017). Evidence from Ferguson identified that muscle fatigue can be induced during highly repetitive tasks (Ferguson et al, 2013).…”

Background The popularity of mobile gaming among adults has raised concerns about the adverse health effects of localized muscle and eye fatigue. This study aimed to investigate how arm support and mobile game control characteristics affect muscle and eye fatigue, and postural changes. Methods Twelve subjects, ages 21–24 years old, were recruited to play a mobile game for 60 min. Participants used two postures (sitting with and without arm support) and two game control modes (touch and rocker). Electromyography measured the abductor pollicis brevis, the upper trapezius, and the extensor carpi radialis muscles. A motion capture system was employed to assess postural changes. Self‐reported fatigue was measured using Borg's scale and Heuer's questionnaire. Results Arm support had a significant effect on muscle fatigue and posture, including a lower rating of perceived exertion in the shoulder (p < .05) and arm (p < .01), an increase in neck and trunk forward flexion between 22% and 34%, an increase in forearm bearing angle of 97.63%, and a decrease in upper arm bearing angle of 25.94% in the group without arm support. Blink for touch mode was 10.57% higher than for rocker mode. Conclusion Arm support was effective in reducing fatigue in the arm and shoulder, but not in the hand. Compared to rocker mode, touch mode increased the visual burden and accelerated visual fatigue. This study provides an understanding of the association between playing mobile games and fatigue, which can help prevent muscle and visual fatigue in mobile gaming.
