POWER YOGA AS AN EFFECTIVE RECOVERY TOOL FOR WOMEN VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS: A COMPREHENSIVE 12-WEEK EVALUATION Venkataramani Natesamurthy, Renganathan Mohana Krishnan, Swamynathan Sanjaykumar Rehabilitation and Recreation, 2025 Background and Study Aim. Power Yoga involves a continuous flow that challenges both body and mind, aiming to enhance cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and overall flexibility. The role of Power Yoga in athlete recovery, especially for volleyball players, remains insufficiently studied. This research aimed to investigate the effects of a 12-week Power Yoga program on muscle soreness and flexibility among sub-elite women volleyball players. Material and Methods. The study involved 37 female volleyball players from SRM Institutions, Tamil Nadu, India. Participants completed pre-test assessments before starting a 12-week Power Yoga program. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Measurements included muscle soreness using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and flexibility through Sit-and-Reach test assessed. The same tests were administered at each evaluation point to track changes and assess the impact of the Power Yoga intervention. Results. The statistical analysis demonstrated a progressive and significant improvement in both recovery- related variables across the 12-week intervention period. Regarding muscle soreness, repeated measures ANOVA showed a consistent decline in VAS scores at each follow-up, indicating a reduction in perceived soreness levels over time. The analysis yielded a significant F-ratio of 8.59361 (p = 0.000028), confirming the efficacy of the Power Yoga program in alleviating post-exercise muscle soreness. Similarly, flexibility scores, as measured by the Sit-and-Reach test, improved markedly throughout the program. The flexibility gains were statistically significant, with an F-ratio of 11.61522 and a p-value of 0.00001, reflecting enhanced range of motion and musculoskeletal adaptability among participants. These findings collectively underscore the positive impact of Power Yoga in promoting muscle recovery and improving flexibility, both of which are critical components for optimal athletic performance and injury prevention in volleyball. Conclusions. The 12-week Power Yoga program was effective in improving recovery among women volleyball players by reducing muscle soreness and enhancing flexibility. These results suggest that integrating Power Yoga into training routines can optimize recovery and performance in athletes.
EFFECTS OF SECTIONAL BREATHING TECHNIQUES ON OPTIMIZING PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN WOMEN ATHLETES Dilli Babu Kanchana, Murugan Senthil Kumar, Swamynathan Sanjaykumar Rehabilitation and Recreation, 2025 Background and Study Aim. Sectional breathing techniques have been associated with enhanced respiratory function and cardiovascular efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week sectional breathing intervention on improving vital capacity and reducing resting heart rate among women athletes engaged in regular sports training. Material and Methods. A simple randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 82 women players aged 18 to 23 years, randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 41), which practiced sectional breathing along with regular training, or the control group (n = 41), which followed regular training without additional intervention. The intervention consisted of guided sectional breathing sessions conducted twice daily (20 minutes each) for six days a week over 12 weeks. Pre– and post-intervention measurements included vital capacity (in liters) and heart rate (in beats per minute). Repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni pairwise comparisons were used for statistical analysis. Results. The experimental group showed a significant increase in mean vital capacity from 3.008 L (±0.287) to 3.156 L (±0.305), supported by a large effect size (F = 448.397, p = .000, η² = .847). Similarly, heart rate significantly decreased from 55.207 bpm (±6.204) to 49.951 bpm (±5.906) (F = 246.097, p = .000, η² = .752). Pairwise comparisons confirmed statistically significant differences between pre– and post-intervention measures for both outcomes. Conclusions. The findings demonstrate that sectional breathing is an effective and time-efficient strategy to enhance lung function and improve cardiovascular efficiency in women athletes. Incorporating such respiratory training into regular sports routines may offer measurable health and performance benefits.
Race-day temperature and marathon performance: Analysing trends from six Olympic games (2004-2024) Murugan Senthil Kumar, Mert Kurnaz, Nurettin Konar, Igor Grygus, Swamynathan Sanjaykumar Journal of Human Sport and Exercise, 2025 This study analysed the influence of race-day temperature on marathon performance over six Olympic Games (2004–2024), using data from the top 50 male and female finishers, resulting in 600 observations. Key variables included marathon finish times (minutes) and race-day temperatures (°C). Statistical methods such as paired t-tests and correlation analysis were employed to evaluate trends. Results show that marathon performances have steadily improved over time, with notable reductions in average times from 02:16:37 in Athens 2004 to 02:11:29 in Paris 2024. Key factors influencing these trends include advancements in training, hydration strategies, and equipment, as well as varying weather conditions. Optimal performance was observed in cooler temperatures, such as London 2012 (15.5°C) and Paris 2024 (19°C), while higher temperatures like in Beijing 2008 (26.5°C) and Tokyo 2020 (28.5°C) demonstrated heat-adaptive capabilities among athletes. Paired t-test comparisons revealed significant differences in performance across several Olympic years, with the largest improvements observed between 2012 and 2024 (mean difference: 00:03:10, p = .004). Pearson correlation analysis further highlighted a negative relationship between average marathon times and temperatures, indicating that cooler climates generally favour faster performances. The findings underscore the impact of weather conditions and technological advancements on marathon performance, providing valuable insights for athletes, coaches, and sports scientists aiming to optimize race strategies under varying environmental conditions.

Plyometric training is widely utilized to improve athletic performance by increasing explosive power, speed, and agility. Despite extensive research on its benefits for professional athletes, there is a lack of empirical studies investigating how plyometric exercise training influences specific fitness components in novice volleyball players. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a 4-week plyometric training program on particular physical fitness components in novice volleyball players under 21 years of age. Material and Methods. This study involved 40 novice volleyball players under 21 years of age (M = 19.28 ± 0.93 years). Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 20), which engaged in an organized 4-week plyometric training program, or a control group (n = 20), which adhered to their conventional training schedule. Performance in lateral cone hops, burpees, squat jumps, box jumps, and a 40-meter sprint was evaluated through pre- and post-test assessments. Data were analyzed using paired and independent samples t-tests, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Results. The results showed substantial enhancements in all assessed training metrics for the experimental group relative to the control group. Significant improvements were noted in lateral cone hops, squat jumps, and sprint performance. The results indicate that short-term plyometric training markedly improves specific fitness components essential for volleyball performance. Conclusions. A four-week plyometric training program significantly enhances particular fitness components in U21 novice volleyball players. These findings underscore the need to include plyometric exercises in training programs to improve athletic performance. Future studies should investigate the long-term effects and adaptations across various levels of athletes.
Differential effects of pre-workout energy drink and chocolate on cardiovascular endurance and physiological responses in intermittent sport athletes Joseph Lobo, Teejay D Panganiban, Jasper Jay N. Mendoza, Jem Cloyd M. Tanucan, Vlad Adrian Geantă, Mert Kurnaz, Edi Setiawan, Novri Gazali, Swamynathan Sanjaykumar Sportis Scientific Technical Journal of School Sport Physical Education and Psychomotricity, 2025 This study compared the effects of energy drink and chocolate pre-workout intake on cardiovascular endurance, blood pressure, heart rate, and recovery in 42 collegiate athletes. Participants were divided into the Energy Drink Group (EDG) and Chocolate Group (CG) and underwent Beep Tests to evaluate cardiovascular endurance. Results revealed sex-specific responses: females in the EDG significantly improved cardiovascular endurance, while improvements in males across both groups were nonsignificant. The CG demonstrated significant cardiovascular endurance enhancements without the adverse effects observed in the EDG, such as elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Notably, the EDG exhibited superior heart rate recovery post-exercise, a benefit less pronounced in the CG. These findings suggest that while energy drinks facilitate immediate cardiac recovery, chocolate offers a more favorable impact on cardiovascular endurance without negatively affecting cardiovascular parameters. Future studies should examine a broader range of commercially available energy drinks and chocolate snacks commonly consumed by student-athletes. Emphasis on sport-specific testing is recommended to better understand these supplements' effects on athletic performance across diverse sporting contexts
Unlocking the connection: hematological status, dietary iron intake and endurance in Indian female athletes Sai laavanya Jegatheesan, Silambu selvi Kumbamoorthy, Swamynathan Sanjaykumar, Navaraj Chelliah Jesus Rajkumar Physical Activity and Nutrition, 2025 [Purpose] The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to reduce the prevalence of anemia in women of reproductive age by 50% before 2030. However, negligible global change has been observed in the prevalence of anemia; therefore, achieving the SDG target for anemia reduction by 2030 may be challenging. Athletes are particularly susceptible to anemia owing to their poor diet and intense physical activity, which can significantly impact endurance levels. This study aimed to determine the correlation between hematological status and endurance in Indian female athletes. The frequency of iron-rich food consumption and dietary iron intake by the athletes was also identified.[Methods] In this cross-sectional observational study, 104 athletes aged 18–25, including 52 volleyball and 52 ball badminton players who were training in SRM institute of science and technology and Tamil Nadu physical education and sports university were assessed for hematological status using an automated hematological analyzer and endurance through Cooper's and plank tests. The results were statistically analyzed to compare the two groups of athletes and Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to study the correlation between hematological status and endurance. A food frequency questionnaire focusing on iron-rich foods and 24 h dietary recall was used to evaluate dietary iron intake.[Results] Approximately 53.8% of the total group of athletes were anemic. The study confirmed a positive correlation between hematological status and cardiorespiratory endurance among volleyball athletes (r = 0.36) and all athletes (r = 0.22). Volleyball athletes demonstrated better endurance than did ball badminton athletes (p < 0.001) and non-anemic athletes exhibited superior endurance performance compared with that of anemic athletes. The consumption of iron-rich foods of athletes was inadequate.[Conclusion] Athletes need to consume a varied and nutritious iron-rich diet to maintain their hematological status and improve endurance.
Protein supplementation on muscle recovery and soreness after intense badminton training sessions , Palraj Balaji, Chandrababu Suresh, , Irina Pomeshchikova, , Alina Melnyk, , Swamynathan Sanjaykumar, and Fizicna Reabilitacia Ta Rekreacijno Ozdorovci Tehnologii, 2025 Purpose. This study aimed to investigate the impact of protein supplementation on muscle recovery and delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in male badminton players following intense training sessions. Materials and Methods. Thirty-six male badminton players, aged 18 to 25, were randomly divided into three groups: a high-protein group (1.6 g/kg body weight), a moderate-protein group (0.8 g/kg body weight), and a placebo group. Participants consumed their respective supplements within 30 minutes after each training session over a six-week period. Muscle soreness was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-exercise, and recovery was measured through the Perceived Recovery Status (PRS) scale. Statistical analyses, including two-way ANOVA, were performed to assess the effects of protein supplementation and the recovery time on muscle soreness and recovery. Results. The high-protein group showed significantly faster recovery and reduced muscle soreness than the moderate-protein and placebo groups (p < 0.001). Furthermore, regression analysis indicated a strong negative correlation between protein intake and muscle soreness, highlighting the benefit of higher protein levels in improving recovery. Conclusions. Protein supplementation, especially at a higher dose of 1.6 g/kg body weight, significantly aided in muscle recovery and reduced muscle soreness in male badminton players. This suggests that adequate protein intake is key to enhancing recovery and performance in sports that require quick bursts of intense activity.
Evaluating The Impact of Structured Training Programs on Stress Reduction Among College Students Thenmozhi T., M. Senthil Kumar, Swamynathan Sanjaykumar Journal of Neonatal Surgery, 2025 Stress has become a significant concern among college students, impacting their academic performance and overall well-being. This research aims to examine the effects of high-intensity and moderate-intensity exercise on stress reduction in college students. Sixty participants were randomly assigned to three groups: Experimental Group I (high-intensity interval training), Experimental Group II (moderate-intensity continuous training), and a control group (no exercise intervention). Stress levels were assessed using a standardized questionnaire before and after a 12-week period. ANOVA was used to analyse the differences in pre- and post-test stress scores, with a significance level set at 0.05. Results revealed substantial reductions in stress for both exercise groups, with mean differences of -4.73 and -4.67 for high- and moderate-intensity groups, respectively (p < 0.0001). The control group showed a minimal reduction of -0.30 (p = 0.0027), which was not significant. These findings suggest that both high- and moderate-intensity physical activities are effective in alleviating stress among college students. The study supports the integration of exercise into campus wellness programs to improve mental health. Further research could investigate the long-term effects of different exercise types and their impact on various stress sources.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING REHABILITATION MEASURES IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS А. О. Nogas, І. М. Grygus, S. Swamynathan Rehabilitation and Recreation, 2025 The article summarises and highlights the main advantages and disadvantages of using rehabilitation measures for rheumatoid arthritis. The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis is 0.5–1.8%, and 80% of all cases occur between the ages of 35 and 50. It has been noted that the inflammatory process in the joints leads to pain, morning stiffness, swelling, structural damage and functional impairment. As a result of these pathological changes, patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a limited ability to self-care, mobility, reduced daily activities, disability and a significant deterioration in quality of life. The purpose of the study is to analyse and highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of using rehabilitation measures in rheumatoid arthritis. Material: analysis and synthesis of scientific data in the modern scientific and methodological literature, databases (PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar) on the use of rehabilitation measures in rheumatoid arthritis. Results. Carefully selected therapeutic exercises and other means of physical therapy help to suspend further progression of the disease, restore the functions of the affected joints, improve the physical condition and quality of life of the patient. Most of the recommended therapeutic exercises are intended primarily for the lower extremities (ankles), without taking into account the upper extremities (wrists, hands), which are primarily affected by rheumatoid arthritis. There are still a number of problems in the rehabilitation treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, primarily related to the timely and comprehensive use of modern rehabilitation measures. A structured approach to the rehabilitation process is required for a systematic assessment of the consequences of the disease, appropriate definition and evaluation of the goals of rehabilitation interventions, and active partnership with the patient. The existing results of treatment and rehabilitation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in general clinical practice do not always meet the needs of patients. In this pathology, the activity and participation of the patients in question are not always taken into account in the process of rehabilitation treatment, which is contrary to the main provisions of the ICF. Conclusions. In the process of rehabilitation and social adaptation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, appropriate rehabilitation measures and technologies are needed that would solve the ultimate goal of physical therapy, that is, to adapt the patient to everyday life, domestic and professional conditions by improving the quality of life.
