Background: Strength of leg musculature is crucial to generate propulsive force during rowing. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of isokinetic dominant leg strength and 2 km time trial on stationary rowing ergometer among male national rowers.

Methods: Seventeen male national rowers were recruited for the study. Their hip and knee isokinetic strength were determined in the sagittal plane at 60Â°/s angular velocity. The relationship between the hip and knee strength, and 2 km time trial performance were evaluated using Pearson correlation.

Results: The national rowers completed the 2 km time trial duration in 7.20Â±0.39 minutes. The hamstring to quadriceps ratio (H:Q) was significantly correlated to 2 km time trial performance (r=-0.491, p=0.045). No other significant relationships between hip and knee isokinetic strength and 2 km time trial performance were observed.

Conclusion: Increased isokinetic knee strength ratio (H:Q) may enhance 2 km time trial performance among male national rowers. Other isokinetic variables of hip and knee isokinetic strength were not significantly related to 2 km time trial.

PMID: 36575646 DOI: 10.1002/nop2.1572

AIM: To understand Baduanjin rehabilitation therapy in mild COVID-19 patients.
DESIGN: A narrative review.
METHODS: A literature search for COVID-19 and Baduanjin treatments was conducted on Chinese and English electronic databases: China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Ebscohost, SPORTDiscus and ProQuest.
RESULTS: Twelve studies on the Baduanjin rehabilitation for COVID-19 patients have been included. We acknowledged the considerable published research and current clinical practice using Baduanjin for COVID-19 treatment in the following areas: anxiety, depression, insomnia, lung function rehabilitation, immunity and activity endurance.
CONCLUSION: The use of Baduanjin as adjuvant therapy for COVID-19 patients' rehabilitation is still limited, therefore, more clinical studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.
