2025-10-27T11:37:22+08:00

Objective: The aim is to develop a scientific and systematic exercise prescription to help people with impaired vestibular function intervene in symptoms through systematic exercise training. Methods: A random sampling method was used to select samples of people with impaired vestibular function for this experiment from the group with poor vestibular function stability. Before the subjects received a 6-week exercise prescription intervention, they underwent vestibular function tests, balance function tests, etc. Subsequently, they carried out systematic training according to the designed exercise prescription. The training content included vestibular function rehabilitation training exercises, balance training, visual target training, vestibular reflex training, etc. The training was conducted three times a week, with each training session lasting about 60 min for 6 weeks. After the training, various evaluations were carried out again to assess the effectiveness of the exercise prescription. Results: After 6 weeks of systematic training, the subjects’ vestibular function, balance ability, and visual adjustment ability were all improved. Specifically, the visual adjustment coefficient score was (6.92 ± 0.06) points, which was higher than (6.65 ± 0.07) points before the intervention; the balance stability coefficient score was (8.65 ± 0.10) points, which was higher than (9.23 ± 0.25) points before the intervention; the somatosensory coefficient score was (6.67 ± 0.05) points, which was higher than (6.97 ± 0.08) points before the intervention; the balance index score was (42.99 ± 24.75) points, which was higher than (49.40 ± 18.64) points before the intervention; the vegetative function score was (2.69 ± 0.06) points, which was higher than (2.90 ± 0.07) points before the intervention; the somatic motor score was (1.44 ± 0.69) points, which was higher than (2.53 ± 0.74) points before the intervention. Difference is statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The exercise prescription for people with impaired vestibular function can improve the patients’ balance ability and postural control ability, thus improving their quality of life. Therefore, developing a scientific and systematic exercise prescription is of great significance for the rehabilitation of people with impaired vestibular function.

The Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training on Body Composition, Blood Lipids, and Lipoproteins in Female College Students with Normal-Weight Obesity

2025-12-03T10:13:23+08:00

Objective: To investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on body composition, blood lipids, and lipoprotein in occultly obese female college students. Methods: Female college students who were not majoring in physical education were randomly divided into HIIT group and MICT group. The body composition, blood lipids, apolipoprotein, and lipoprotein levels of the subjects before and after exercise were measured. Results: Both 12 weeks of HIIT and MICT reduced body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage (BF%), degree of obesity, waist-to-hip ratio, and visceral fat area in female college students with normal-weight obesity. The HIIT group showed a significantly lower body fat percentage (BF%) and visceral fat area compared to the MICT group. Additionally, the HIIT group demonstrated a significant decrease in triglyceride levels and a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, whereas the MICT group did not exhibit these effects. Serum apolipoprotein AI (ApoAI) levels were significantly increased in the HIIT group. The levels of apolipoprotein B100 (ApoB100) and lipoprotein (LP(a)) were significantly decreased. Serum ApoB100 levels in the MICT group were decreased, and there was no significant change in the levels of ApoAI and LP(a). Conclusion: Both 12-week HIIT and MICT interventions reduced the degree of obesity in female college students with normal-weight obesity. However, HIIT was more effective than MICT in reducing body fat percentage (BF%) and visceral fat area. High-Intensity Interval Training is an effective exercise modality for improving body composition, blood lipids, apolipoprotein, and lipoprotein levels in this population.

Investigating Determinants for Sustainable Development of Chinese Youth Campus Football: A Scoping Review

2025-10-27T11:37:23+08:00

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influencing factors for sustainable development of Chinese youth campus football. The research adopted the scoping review method to search and screen the Chinese core journal literature in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data and VIP Database from 2016 to 2024. Based on the PRISMA-ScR checklist, 53 articles were finally included for the study. The bibliometric analysis results indicated that the research fervor within this specific field had been showing a declining tendency. Topic clustering identified 5 themes such as innovative practice of sports-education integration, modernization of the governance system, reform and development path, reality dilemma cracking, health promotion and long-term development. The results show that the sustainable development of campus football for Chinese teenagers requires further strengthening the innovative practice of integrating sports and education, standardizing the modern governance system, actively exploring the path of reform and development, improving the allocation of funds and infrastructure, strengthening the collaborative support system among families, schools and communities, and improving the competition system. These provide more continuous impetus for the high-quality development of campus football in China.
