The study was conducted on a group of 394 university students from Poland, Germany, and Slovakia. The assessment of diet quality and knowledge on food and nutrition was done with the use of the Dietary Habits and Nutrition Beliefs Questionnaire. The diet of German students was characterized by a significantly higher consumption of legume-based foods, vegetables, and fruit compared to Polish students and Slovakian participants (p < 0.001). The diet of the Poles was characterized by a high consumption of cured meat, smoked sausages, hot dogs, white bread and bakery products, butter, fried foods, and energy drinks. The most important factors significantly associated with diet quality involved the country, place of residence, Body Mass Index (BMI), physical activity, and time spent watching TV or using a computer. Polish students were characterized by the highest level of knowledge on food and nutrition (p < 0.001). However, it was not reflected in their diet. The authorities of universities should aim to provide students with access to canteens on campuses which would offer the possibility of consumption of both affordable and healthy meals.}, language = {en} } @misc{BraunMartinAlfermannetal., author = {Braun, Alexander and Martin, Titus and Alfermann, Dorothee and Michel, Sven}, title = {{\"U}berpr{\"u}fung der Reliabilit{\"a}t und Validit{\"a}t der Kurzform des Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ-S) in den Altersgruppen des fr{\"u}hen und sp{\"a}ten Erwachsenenalters}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Sportpsychologie}, volume = {25}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Sportpsychologie}, number = {3}, issn = {2190-6300}, doi = {10.1026/1612-5010/a000236}, pages = {115 -- 127}, abstract = {Zusammenfassung.

In order to work against this process and keep health consequences of long-term unemployment as small as possible (not least for reasons of the reintegration into the job market), the health promotion stands increasingly in the focus. A goal of the following study was to find out the effects of a strength-perseveranceoriented back training in regard to physical, psychological and social level. 13 longterm unemployed women (age 56.08 ± 3.17 years) were examined and trained 5 weeks. The state of health and the movement behavior was assessed with an anamnesis. The admission of the objective health parameters was carried out by the determination of the anthropometrics values by means of BIA balance, as well as by the determination of the strength impact from belly and back muscles using Total Trunk. The subjective health parameters were seized over a sensibility to pain scale and a questionnaire to the general habitual well-being. On this basis the obtained results, regarding the anthropometric values and the sensibility to pain, there could not be determined significant changes, but emphasized positive tendencies. Significant changes showed up with some parameters of the general habitual wellbeing (Well-Being-Score, psychological miss-being), as well as with the strength impact, which took the main meaning regarding the training program. Therefore it can be said that a 5-week strength-perseverance-oriented back training, improve on the one hand to the physical health, accompanies in view to the strength perseverance ability of belly and back muscules and on the other hand the psychological health, by a significant decrease of the psychological miss-being.

During the examination period from June until December 2014, one-dimensional isometric trunk strength measurements were carried out on healthy, middle-aged probands using the biofeedback device "Pegasus". The aim was to check out the predefined standard values of the company BfMC and generate standard value ranges for muscular imbalances. Furthermore, these examinations were used to capture occurring forces on other levels to assess their impact on one-dimensional measurements. A standardized warm up was followed by the determination of the maximum trunk strength in flexion, extension, rotation and lateral inclination. Two measurements on 54 probands at the age of 22.8 ± 3.3 years and an average BMI of 28.9 ± 3.2 were conducted. In addition, the deviating forces were determined. In target-actual value comparison, the probands were about 17.1\% above the normal range of their respective age groups, with an average isometric trunk strength development in all six directions of movement of 835Nm. For the male probands it was also found out that they positioned themselves 63.6\% above (average?). The female probands in total were also within the normal range, but 200Nm less power was generated and 34\% did not reach the normal range. Looking at the deviating forces, it is noticeable that 549.1 Nm (54\%) were also applied in the other anatomic plains. Here, there were clear differences between the deviating forces in the isometric testing in the sagittal and frontal plain. In the measurement results of the sagittal plain (Ext; Flex), the deviating forces were 45.8Nm (29.9\%) on average in the frontal and transverse direction. In the measurement results of lateral inclination and rotation, the deviating forces were 95.3\% and 110\% in sagittal and transverse direction. As a result, it can be noted that, despite the absence of pain, postural imbalances and diseases of the spine, more than half of the forces cannot be generated according to the axis. At this, synergistic functions seem to be physiological in this scope, in order to produce maximum plain equitable forces which basically questions one-dimensional measurements. The test results show significant deviations from the normal range, which raises the issue of the relevance of the defined standard values based on the evaluation of isometric force development.

Athletes rarely return to the peak of performance or are limited in their ability to perform their sport. Performance tests for ACLR are still immature and often unspecific. In Judo, the ability to stand on one's feet is an essential prerequisite for many situations. An unstable standing position also promotes knee injuries. In order to check the stability of the single leg stand, a controlled test-re-test design is used in the present study. Two groups are included: A (n=27): Judoka without anamnestically relevant injuries of the lower extremities or the back and B (n=17): Judoka 5.06 ± 1.06 years after ACLR. A one-legged hop test up on a piezoelectric force plate is examined for reliability with respect to the test repetition and validity with regard to the predicted identification of deficits in a side-by-side comparison. In this test, the test person jumps with one leg on the force plate at a defined distance and tries to stand as still as possible, which means that hardly any horizontal force is generated. Both tests are carried out one after the other with both legs and with sufficient break twice each. In group A, there were no significant differences (p>0.05) between the subjectively better leg and the subjectively worse leg, or the leg in the front and rear of the kumi-kata in Judo. In group B, in the first experiment with the ACLR leg, the test persons generate a significantly higher horizontal force in a 95\% confidence interval of the bilateral coefficient of CI=[0.16-0.76] compared to the side not affected (p=0.017). In the test repetition, Group B generates with the affected leg significantly less horizontal force surges than in the first attempt. No significant differences in lateral comparison could be measured, although there is a reliability coefficient of r=0.89 for the ACLR leg, but only r=0.35 for the unaffected leg and r=0.53 for group A. It is concluded that the test for asymptomatic judokas cannot be regarded as sufficiently selective due to the low requirement. In group B, in the second experiment, a feed-forward model including pre-activation based on empirical values from the first experiment could explain the improvement, which has led to no significant differences between legs.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KirschnerVorwergMicheletal., author = {Kirschner, Jana and Vorwerg, Susan and Michel, Sven and Braun, Alexander and Martin, Titus and Prill, Robert}, title = {Effect of a manual-therapeutic segmental mobilization on the mobility of the thoracic spine}, series = {The International Disabled People's Day - XXIII edition - Life without Pain/Healthy Children - Healthy Europe}, booktitle = {The International Disabled People's Day - XXIII edition - Life without Pain/Healthy Children - Healthy Europe}, publisher = {Oficyna Wydawnicza Klubu Literackiego "Inspiracje"}, address = {Zgorcelec}, isbn = {978-83-88380-75-4}, pages = {S. 123}, abstract = {An important aim of the manual therapy is to improve the joint mobility and the functionality to reduce pains in the area of treatment.
