“…The observed decline in handgrip strength has been attributed to either a decrement in muscle fibre recruitment or an alteration in motor unit firing frequency following SD [43]. No restoration in handgrip strength was reported following a 7-8 h sleep recovery period [35] or over 3 post-trial recovery days [43]. These findings However, these findings may also be attributed to the modest SR protocols implemented (i.e.…”

“…More recently, some studies have investigated the effect of sleep loss on both the performance and physiological responses to aerobic exercises. For example, Tomczak et al [35] examined the heart rate (HR) response and time to completion of a 1-mile walk test following 36 h of SD combined with moderate physical activity in air force cadets. Despite no significant change in the time to completion of the 1-mile walk test, HR at completion was significantly lower following the SD protocol (148±6 to 132±3 bpm).…”

Sleep loss appears to negatively affect aerobic capacity, upper body anaerobic capacity, muscular endurance and military task performance. Confounding factors such as motivation and nutrition may negate the negative effects of sleep loss on physical domains (e.g. lower body strength and aerobic capacity, respectively). Because the exact relationship between sleep loss and physical performance in military populations remains unclear, applicable practical recommendations cannot be provided.

Introduction. Taking up emergency actions when fighting various types of natural disasters requires appropriate psychophysical preparation. Thanks to the development of technique, coordination motor abilities have gained greater importance than physical strength and endurance in such activities. The purpose of the present work was to assess the impact of 36 hours of survival activities and sleep deprivation on selected coordination motor abilities in students of the University of Physical Education. Material and methods. The study involved 12 male students of the University of Physical Education in Warsaw, specialising in “Physical Education in Uniformed Services”. The age of the participants was 21.0 ± 0.74 years, their body height was 179.5 ± 5.6 cm, and their body mass was 74.6 ± 8.0 kg. The assessment was performed based on the following coordination motor ability tests: a test measuring the differentiation of the use of forearm muscle strength, a running motor adjustment test, and a measurement of divided attention. A test involving shooting from a pneumatic gun and a measurement of the maximal force of the forearm were also carried out. Tests and trials were conducted before training (P1), after 24 hours of training (P2), after completing the training - that is after 36 hours of training (P3), and after 12 hours of rest (P4). During the training, the participants completed 12 km on foot, paddled for approximately 6 hours, rowed kayaks for about 4 hours, and performed survival tasks. Results. The analysis of the results of the study of maximal force and the ability to differentiate forearm muscle strength showed that the forearm muscle strength remained at the same level during the entire training. The ability to differentiate forearm muscle strength deteriorated after night training. There were no statistically significant differences in the results of the running motor adjustment tests and in shooting performance between individual measurements. Conclusions. Participation in long-term survival training with very low intensity, combined with sleep deprivation, caused a temporary deterioration in the ability to differentiate forearm muscle strength. This may indicate that people involved in rescue operations during which the psychophysical load is small will be able to perform tasks correctly for a long time.

“…Gawda et al have demonstrated that change in sEMG amplitude during isometric exercise could be related to muscles fatigue [17]. The use of various indices [18] and those based on sEMG amplitude, as an objective indicators of the efficacy of training process in athletes and motor programming phenomenon in humans requires further research. In the opinion of the authors of the presented study, the microgenetic theory which describe motor programming on the basis of findings in modern neurosciences (i.e., from gene expressions, electrical and chemical language of the brain, endomarkers, neuromarkers to behaviour), might be helpful in interpreting the efficacy of the training process and motor programming phenomenon in athletes living in rural and urban areas [19,20].…”

Objectives. The aim of this study was to discover the relationship between the performance of different mechanical movements of rowers, and define its effect on the motor programs of the cyclic movement in athletes living in rural and urban areas. Materials and method. Twenty-two male rowers participated in the experiment using a rowing ergometer (Concept2, USA). The experiment consisted of 3 tests examining the maximal power of the pull-ups (MPbpu). The movement mechanogram was registered with a specialized complex Noraxon's 3D MyoMotion (Noraxon Inc., USA). The software of the complex allowed calculation of the values of the joint angles from the accelerometer data. The Origin Lab 8.5 program was used for the mathematical and statistical processing of the signals from the mechanograms. Results. It was found that all experiment participants had a stepped controlled increase in the power of single bar pull-ups leading to a corresponding proportional increase in the frequency of rowing -test 1 and, conversely, a stepped controlled increase in the rowing frequency accompanied by a proportional increase in the power of the bar pull-ups -test 2. The involuntary dependence of the power and the rate was due to the peculiarities of the central cyclic movement programming, according to which the forces and durations of the active and passive bar pull-ups phases were interconnected and regulated together. The voluntary power-rate dependence control led to the breakdown of these links in the motor program of cyclic movements and to the separate control of these parameters. Conclusions.Motor programs in cyclic movement may be created in the same pattern in tope level sport and recreation, as well in different environmental conditions -gym halls (movement simulators), professional and recreational water sport tracks.
