    Strength: sports biomechanics

    Abstract:

    The overall goal of this research was the effect of an eight-week yoga and aerobic training course on a selection of biomechanical parameters of women aged 30 to 40. The type of research was semi-experimental and the subjects were 36 women from the sports complex of Tehran Region 4 Festival with an average age of 34.6 7.7 years, height 162.5 1.8 cm and weight 66.7 10.9 kg. For the two groups of yoga and aerobics, training programs were implemented for eight weeks with three sessions, and the control group did not have any special training during this period and did their daily work. The following tests were taken from all three groups before and after the training period. The flexibility board was used to measure flexibility, sit-up test to measure muscle endurance, Sargent's test to measure anaerobic power, stork test to measure static balance, tandem to measure dynamic balance, and 9x4 test to measure agility. Kolmogorov Smirnov test was used to check the normality of data distribution, independent t-test, and correlation t-test were used to test research hypotheses. The results showed that except the anaerobic power in the yoga group, all components in both the yoga and aerobic groups improved significantly compared to the control group. Also, the anaerobic power, muscular endurance and agility of the aerobic group improved more than the yoga group.

    Introduction

    The mechanization of lifestyles and the acquisition of modern technologies have led to poor movement in today's life. accompanied This movement poverty and inactivity affects different physical, mental and emotional aspects of people's lives. According to the report of the World Health Organization (1996), 60 to 80 percent of the world's people do not have enough and appropriate activity, and this sedentary lifestyle without sports activity is one of the main causes of death and disability, which has resulted in more than two million deaths per year (Niknejad, 1375). Considering that the participation of men and women in sports has not yet been achieved, the lack or reduction of participation of women and girls in sports activities is presented as a challenge of the third millennium. From a physiological point of view, women can be physically active to some extent by doing daily tasks, including housework, but to have a healthy body and a good mood, more physical activities are needed. Today, the role of women as more than half of human resources is not only one of the basic issues and goals of social and economic development of any country, but also an effective tool in realizing other development goals, hence one of the indicators of the development of a country is the level of participation and role that women have in that country. One of the solutions to overcome this problem is to do sports activities, which as a multi-dimensional tool has a wide impact in health, economic, social, free time and healthy recreation, and creating vitality and vitality. In this research, it is intended to investigate the effect of an eight-week course of yoga and aerobics on some biomechanical parameters of women aged 30 to 40.

    1.1. Statement of the problem

    Women's sports is one of the basic issues in the field of sports today. Research has shown that engaging in sports and physical activities in women will have a profound effect on pregnancy, breastfeeding and health in old age. Women's physical immobility means depriving an important part of the society of physical and mental health and vitality, which will cause irreparable damage to the society. Considering the central role of sports in the health of women as mothers of the society and consequently the health of their children, this issue should be investigated and the grounds for their more colorful presence in the fields of sports should be provided (Mirghfouri et al., 2018). Over the past 50 years, many studies have added to our knowledge about health and physical activity. The physical health of young women is a fundamental and vital issue that guarantees the health and well-being of society.One of the ways to increase the body's efficiency is physical activities, which should be a complementary part of education programs (Fazli Far, 1386). There is hardly anyone who has not heard of aerobics and yoga. Yoga is an immediate and direct knowledge of the depth of one's existence and is in harmony with the laws of nature. Regular yoga exercises both improve physical abilities and increase a person's mental powers (Hiltman, Richard, 1371). "Yoga" is a collection of physical posture exercises (asana), controlled breathing exercises (pranayama) and relaxation and relaxation exercises (shavasana) (Willin [1] et al., 2005). which includes a complete series of stretching, endurance and balance and flexibility exercises along with concentration and breathing control. Many benefits have been listed for yoga exercise, including helping to increase the range of motion of the joints (Kenneth Howard, 2014), reducing blood pressure, reducing breathing rate, improving cardiovascular status, increasing flexibility, muscle endurance, balance and strength (Fan Vechen [2], 2011), increasing agility, power and speed (Visho [3], 2011), reducing lumbar spine pain, menstrual pain, general nerve and muscle tension and The pains caused by old age (Rob[4], 2002) were mentioned. "Aerobics" is a popular sport that is a combination of rhythmic and diverse movements with music and has become popular among Iranian women (Visi, 2008). There are many benefits for aerobics, including increasing cardiovascular endurance, weight loss, fighting depression, nerve-muscle coordination, improving agility, balance, strength, endurance, and reducing subcutaneous fat (Shaheidi, 2010), (Shahana[5], 2010). Endurance and muscular strength, flexibility and appropriate balance in the body and physical structure can play an important role in women's healthier lives and being careful of many injuries that they may face during their lifetime. In a more specific examination, five biomechanical components of balance, flexibility, agility, endurance and anaerobic power will be examined. First, "balance" which plays a major role in carrying out vital activities and leads to optimal use of the energy needed by the body, "flexibility" in the absence of which the body suffers from dry joints and many other injuries, and "endurance" which is one of the most important factors in obtaining physical health
    (Sadeghi, 2015). Since both yoga and aerobics are low-cost sports, applicable for all ages and with the least equipment and facilities, and can have a significant impact on the health of groups and strata of society, especially young women and mothers, in this research, an attempt will be made to answer the question of whether an eight-week yoga and aerobic training course has an effect on some biomechanical parameters of women aged 30 to 40?

     Abstract:

    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of eight weeks of yoga and aerobic training on selected biomechanical parameters of females at the age of 30 to 40 years old.

    Methods: 36 females of Jashnvareh Sport club located in the 4th district of Tehran with a mean age of 34.6 3.7, height 162.1 5.8cm and weight 66.7 10.9 kg were selected according to purposive sampling (available) method and were divided randomly to three groups. yoga, aerobics and control. For both groups of yoga and aerobics, try exercise was done in a three section in 8 weeks. and control group during this time did not have any special training and did their daily job. Of the three groups before and after the training period the following tests were taken. the sit and reach box test for measuring the flexibility, sit up test for measuring muscular endurance, sargent jump test for measuring anaerobic power, stork test for measuring static balance, tandem test for measuring dynamic balance test and 4*9 test for measuring agility were used. K.S test for normalizing data distribution, independent t test and couple t test were used to test the research hypotheses.

    Result: results showed that, except for anaerobic power in the yoga group, all components in both groups yoga and aerobics improved significantly compared to the control group.
