RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: In archery training, side bridges are performed in a posture similar to archery shooting for training the muscles around the shoulder joint and the shoulder girdle of the pusher. AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a low-tremor side-bridge exercise for 4 weeks improves bow tremor during archery movements. METHODS: Participants were 20 male college students. First, we measured the tremor during side bridges performed with trunk inclinations of 25°, 40°, 55°, and 70° using an accelerometer attached to the elbow joint and identified low-tremor side bridges. The participants were then randomly divided into intervention and non-intervention groups, and the low-tremor side bridges were performed for 4 weeks. RESULTS: The effect of the intervention was determined by measuring the total tremor value using an accelerometer attached to the bow and changes in the median power frequency (MdPF) of the middle deltoid, upper trapezius, and lower trapezius. This intervention reduced the bow tremor and the median power frequency of the middle deltoid (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggested that the tremor during the archery sighting phase could be reduced by performing side bridges with a specific trunk angle for a certain period of time. This intervention was also shown to reduce the intermediate frequency of the middle deltoid. The reduced tremor can shorten the sighting phase, which can facilitate injury prevention.

Benzoï¼»aï¼½pyrene (BaP) is one of the strongest carcinogenic compounds among polycyclicaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) .We previously identified the ITB9 strain of Olleya species, which shows BaP-degrading activity; our report was the first about BaP degradation by the genus Olleya. In this study, BaP-degradation efficiency by ITB9 was about 50% when the strain was suspended in 20 ml of L9 liquid medium with 100 µg/ml BaP and 0.2 M NaCl, with pH 8.0, and incubated at 25â for 5 days. Under the same conditions, all four type strains (O. marilimosa CIP108537, O. aquimaris KCTC22661, O. namhaensis KCTC23673, and O. algicola KCTC22024) also showed BaP-degrading activities, at efficiencies ranging from 49% to 63%. Olleya sp. ITB9 and O. aquimaris KCTC22661 were found to be in the same clade in the phylogenetic tree of the genus Olleya, given that the homology of 16S rRNA gene sequences between ITB9 and KCTC22661 was 99.77%.
