“…At the end of the 8th week the data of the final players after drop out was taken for analysis to find out the mean differences across groups at various times [17]- [19]. The data were analysed using SPSS version 24.0 replicated from previous researches [20]- [21]. Descriptive statistics and repeated measures ANOVA, within and between interactions was done to compute the results of the study following analysis.…”

The intention of this investigation was to decide the most significant exercise intervention in enhancing maximum voluntary ventilation in young male soccer players. Sixty non-smoking young male soccer players with the mean age of 14.18 (0.79) years, were randomly assigned to four groups (Group A, B, C, D) of 20 players in each group. Maximum voluntary ventilation was measured at baseline using digital pony FX micro spirometer. The Group A athletes were instructed to do diaphragmatic breathing exercise with conventional sports training. Group B athletes received pelvic floor muscle exercise with conventional sports training. Group C athletes received synchronized diaphragmatic breathing with pelvic floor contraction with conventional sports training and Group D (Control group) players received conventional sports training alone. The training protocol was designed for 15 minutes duration 5 times per week for 8 weeks, along with their 60 minutes conventional sports training. Mid and post intervention measurements were carried out at the fourth week and the eighth week with identical baseline assessment protocol. The repeated measures of ANOVA revealed that, marked improvement in maximum voluntary ventilation was evident amongst all of intervention groups except control group however post hoc analyses implicated that synchronized diaphragmatic breathing with pelvic floor contraction was beneficial in enhancing maximum voluntary ventilation than the pelvic floor exercise, diaphragmatic breathing exercise and conventional sports training (P<.05). Therefore, synchronized diaphragmatic breathing with pelvic floor contraction training should be considered as a part of sports training to improve maximum voluntary ventilation.

The aim of this study was to find out the most significant exercise training in improving lower limb power in young male football players. Sixty non-smoking young male football players with the mean age of 14.18 (0.79) years, were randomly allotted to four groups (Group A, B, C, D) of 15 players in each group. Lower limb power was assessed at baseline by vertical jump test. The Group A athletes were instructed to perform diaphragmatic breathing exercise with conventional sports training. Group B athletes instructed to do pelvic floor muscle exercise with conventional sports training. Group C athletes advised to do synchronized diaphragmatic breathing with pelvic floor contraction with conventional sports training and Group D (Control group) players received conventional sports training alone. The training regimen was scheduled for 15-minute length 5 times per week for 8 weeks, along with their 60-minute conventional sports training. Mid and post intervention assessment were carried out at the fourth week and the eighth week with similar baseline assessment regimen. The repeated measures of ANOVA exposed that, noticeable development in lower limb power was obvious amongst all of intervention groups, however post hoc analyses implicated that synchronized diaphragmatic breathing with pelvic floor contraction was advantageous in enhancing lower limb power than the pelvic floor exercise, diaphragmatic breathing exercise and conventional sports training (P<.05). Hence, synchronized diaphragmatic breathing with pelvic floor contraction training should be considered as a part of sports training to improve lower limb power.

“…The participants standing behind a line marked in the area. The participants will take a two-foot take-off jump and land with the two-foot-take-off, with the arms swinging back and the legs bent rhythmically at around 90° forward [2] . The participants must jump as far as possible without falling backward and must landing with both feet.…”

These datasets described the data of the Motor Performance Index for 7 years old kids in Malaysia based on Malaysia's physical fitness test SEGAK. This database has been designed and created with data analysis to create the index from the factor and variable of the test and the test was conducted in the majority of the national primary school in Malaysia. Gender, state of origin, and residential location of the school were the factors used to categorize the participant of the test. The factor of age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), power, flexibility, coordination, and speed were used for the measurement to relate with the participant's physical fitness. Kids Motor Performances Index data can be reused for talent identification in sport talent scout and to create a baseline for kid's biology growth specifically in gross motor skills and cognitive growth measurement.
