Objective: To investigate effects of functional training on physical and cognitive function in 4-5 years old children, so as to provide a reference for the research on development of children s physical and cognitive functions. Methods: The 173 participants aged 4-5 were enrolled from 6 kindergartens in Xicheng District, Beijing and were divided into experimental (n=94) and control groups (n=79) by randomized digital tables. The experimental group were asked to receive a 18 week special designed functional movement training, which were not performed to the control group. The two groups were tested with physical and cognitive assessments before and after the intervention, and the results were compared pre/post in individual group and between groups with t tests. Results: Compared with control group, the score of standing long jump among children in the experimental group was improved by 5.72%, and that of feet jump was improved by 23.79%, that of 10-meter-shuttle run was improved by 13.95%, that of simple reaction was by 20.34%, and that of attention was by 18.96%, and all the improvement was of statistical significance(t=-2.75, 6.68, 10.79, 5.07, 4.32, P<0.01). Conclusion Both physical and cognitive functions were enhanced by the functional physical training in 4-5 year-old children.

Objective:To compare the intervention effects of neck resistance training in different postures on chronic non-specific neck pain(CNSNP)and explore a more efficient exercise therapy for CNSNP. Method:Fifty-one CNSNP patients(age 41.0±5.0 years)were randomly divided into three groups:prone neck resistance training group(group A,n=17),sitting neck resistance training group(group B,n=17)and prone control group(group C,n=17).The test measures included visual analog score(VAS),Neck Disability Index(NDI),craniocervical Angle(CVA),cervical range of motion(ROM),and Root Mean Square(RMS)of neck muscles.All measures were measured before intervention and 4 weeks after intervention. Result:The intervention effect of group A was better than that of group B and group C.Neck pain score(VAS),Neck Disability Index(NDI),craniocervical Angle(CVA),cervical flexion range of motion(ROM),cervical extension range of motion(ROM),RMS(superior tract of the trapezius muscle,flexion;Sternocleido-mastoid muscle,resting;Stemocleidomastoid muscle,extension)were significantly different from those in groups B and C(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in RMS(upper tract of the trapezius muscle,resting)between Group A and Group B(P＞0.05),but there was a significant difference from Group C(P＜0.05). Conclusion:Neck resistance training in the prone position can more effectively reduce the VAS and RMS of neck muscles and increase the ROM and CVA of neck muscles.
