Memoirs of Fukui University of Technology 47 265 - 268 2017.5

This study examined the relationship between ability to maintain a stable posture on an unstable stool (Involuntary Stimulation test: IS test) and physical functions and fall experiences in the female elderly. Physical functions included isometric leg strength, and balance ability. We found a significant relationship between the IS and the One Leg Standing (OLS) tests, and between the IS and the Functional Reach (FR) tests; however, it was not high. The IS test is related to a different ability than the OLS and FR tests.

Memoirs of Fukui University of Technology 47 269 - 272 2017.5

Various tests have been developed to assess the ability to balance. The area of the center of gravity displacement test (voluntary stimulation test: VS test) assesses balancing ability when a person is subjected to added physical stimulation to make the body unstable. On the contrary, the test related to maintaining a stable posture on an unstable stool (involuntary stimulation test: IS test) assesses the balancing ability when a person is subjected to added physical stimulation while continuously standing. This study aimed to examine the relationship between each of these tests and balancing ability. To conclude, the IS test is related to a different functional ability than the VS test.

Physical fitness of elementary school children has reportedly decreased over the past few years, physical fitness of present-day children who exercise regularly may not necessarily be inferior to that of the children in the past. This study aimed to examine the secular trend and sex differences in physique, muscular strength, and flexibility in 9–10-year-old children who took part in swimming practice and training at a swimming sport club. The physique of elementary school children regularly attending the swimming sport club did not show marked time period and sex differences. Muscular strength was superior in the present-day children and ankle mobility was superior in the past children. In addition, marked sex differences in muscle strength and flexibility, except for trunk flexion, were not found in both periods.

Japan Journal of Test and Evaluation in Health and Physical Education 16 43 - 48 2017.3

The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between cognitive and physical fitness (grip strength, standing long jump, softball throwing, 25m run, side-stepping, timed dipping, sit and reach) in preschool children. A choice reaction time test (even condition, winning condition) and a physical fitness test were conducted on healthy preschool children. Choice reaction times were measured using a specialized “Paper, Rock, and Scissors” device which can record the duration of time it takes from the time a picture of a hand gesture representing either paper, rock, or scissors is displayed on a monitor to the moment when a preschool child reacts to the picture by pressing the button in front of him or her. These results suggest that cognitive and physical fitness are weak related.

This study aimed to examine the reliability and sex differences in elderly subjects for maintaining a stable posture on an unstable stool that leaned sharply in the backward and forward directions. The ability to stand with both legs on the balance board for 20 sec was measured five times with a 1-min resting period between each trial. Difference in results based on sex was found in the balance board test. These results suggest that when using the unstable stool balance board test in the elderly, the representative measurement values should be taken as the mean value of the third and fourth trials in males and the mean value of the second and third trials in females.

Hiroki Sugiura, Hiroe Sugimoto

Memoirs of Fukui University of Technology 46 254 - 258 2016.6

This study examined the relationship between dynamic balance tests and various physical fitness tests in preschool children. Dynamic balance was assessed by walking the length of a balance beam several times (beam height, 30 cm; width, 10 cm; length, 200 cm) and walking a pathway (width, 10 cm; length, 200 cm). Physical fitness was assessed with activities such as a 25-meter run, continuous bilateral hopping, upright hand standing, standing long jump, and catching a ball. In conclusion, both walking a balance beam and pathway showed a relationship to coordination. Walking a balance beam successfully was also positively correlated with agility. However, the relationships between these two dynamic balance tests were not as high.

American Journal of Sports Science and Medicine 4 ( 1 ) 1 - 5 2016.1

To maintain a stable posture on an unstable moving stool is performed by few in daily life. Hence, the achievement of a stable posture on an unstable moving stool may be difficult even for the elderly with high independence in daily activities. This study aimed to examine differences between the female elderly who could maintain a stable posture on an unstable stool leaning sharply in the backward and forward directions for 20 s (balance board test) and those could not maintain this posture for physical functions, ADL, fall experience, and fall risk. The female elderly who cannot perform the present balance board test have more fall experience and are inferior in static balance ability, walking ability, and ADL compared with the elderly who can perform it despite having similar static leg strength.

Hiroki Sugiura, Shinichi Demura

Memoirs of Fukui University of Technology 45 257 - 263 2015.7

This study aimed to examine the differences in the activities of daily living (ADL) among the female elderly without knee pain (G1), with mild knee pain (G2), and with severe knee pain (G3). In conclusion, female elderly with severe knee pain is inferior in ADLs that required movement of the knee joint such as locomotion, posture-change, and stability. In addition, it was judged that the female elderly with mild knee pain is inferior in the achievement of “ascending and descending the stairs” and “rising from kneeling.”

The relationship between stepping test, functional reach test, and balance board test in healthy male students Reviewed

Hiroki Sugiura, Shinichi Demura

Advances in Research 3 ( 6 ) 571 - 576 2015.6

Various tests to assess dynamic balance ability have been developed. The spot stepping (stepping) test assesses balance ability when a person voluntarily moves the body. The functional reach (FR) test assesses balance ability when a person is subjected to added stimulation to make the body unstable. The balance board (BB) test assesses balance ability when a person is subjected to added stimulation while continuously standing on one leg. This study aimed to examine the relationship between each of these tests with regards to dynamic balance ability. The FR test assesses a very different functional ability than the stepping and BB tests and this explains why the relationships were not high.

Relationships between mild/severe knee joint pain and fall risk assessment items in elderly females Reviewed

Hiroki Sugiura, Shinichi Demura, Kenji Takahashi

Advances in Research 3 ( 4 ) 445 - 454 2015.4

This study aimed to examine differences in corresponding rates of fall risk survey which comprised 50 items representing 5 risk factors (symptoms of falling,” “disease and physical symptoms,” “environment,” “behavior and character” and “physical function) among 3 groups of elderly females categorized on the basis of knee pain. The severe knee pain group exhibited higher corresponding rates in several fall risk items compared with the other 2 groups. The fall risk items related to frequency of motion in the behavioral and character factors category showed a tendency to be low in the groups with no or mild pain.

Hiroki Sugiura, Shinichi Demura, Tamotsu Kitabayashi, Yoshimitsu Shimoyama, Daisuke Sato, Ning Xu, Yuko Asakura

American Journal of Sports Science and Medicine 2 ( 6 ) 208 - 211 2014.11

Competitive swimmers may have inferior balance because antigravity strength exertion, which is used to stand, is not often necessary in the water. This study concerns the ability to stand with the manipulating and supporting legs and their laterality by examining male competitive swimmers and male general university students. Static balance and dynamic balance were evaluated by the center sway of foot pressure and stability on an unstable stool, respectively. In conclusion, dynamic balance while standing with the manipulating or supporting leg is superior in competitive swimmers, unlike static balance assessed by the center sway of foot pressure. In addition, dynamic balance in the manipulating leg is superior to that in the supporting leg for both groups.
