Effect of Speed, Agility and Quickness Protocol on Performance of Junior Tennis Players
Research Posters blood pressure 86.13 +/- 5.91 mmHg decreased to 85.13 +/- 5.21 mmHg. An inverse correlation was identified between age at menopause and blood pressure and a positive correlation was found between postmenopausal period and either systolic or diastolic blood pressure. The B.M.I. of both samples was decreased after 2 weeks of exercise. An inverse correlation was identified between B.M.I. of both the samples and distance covered. Conclusions: The collected data concluded that two-weeks of aerobic exercise training are effective and can elicit changes in cardiovascular variables of pre-post women. Further suggested that aerobic exercise is an important strategy for prevention and treatment of high blood pressure. The blood pressure and heart rate were found to be reduced more in premenopausal females as compared to postmenopausal females. Key Words: Menopause, Blood pressure, Heart rate, Body mass index, Aerobic exercise Disclosures: None disclosed. Research Poster 994 Effect of Speed, Agility and Quickness Protocol on Performance of Junior Tennis Players Isha Garg (Freelancer), Gaurav Kadyan Research Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of 4week SAQ protocol on agility and aerobic capacity in junior tennis players. Design: Research is an experimental randomised controlled trial and was carried out on a sample of fifty healthy tennis players from the sports complexes (aged: 14.20.9; height: 160.66.2cm; weight: 57.35 kgs). The players were randomly divided into training group and control group. The training group received four weeks of speed, agility and quickness protocol three days per week and the control group performed their regular training under the direct supervision of the physiotherapist. The pre and post testing for the agility (t-test) and aerobic capacity (cooper test) was done at 0 week and after 4 weeks. Setting: The study was carried out in the sports complexes of Delhi, India. Participants: 50 subjects were taken from sports complex. Out of which 5 subjects could not complete the training. The players taken were under-16 national level who have been playing for last 2 years and were able to complete 12 min walk/run test. Before the initiation of training, experimental and control groups underwent a pre-testing procedure for aerobic capacity using 12 minute cooper walk/run test and agility using T-test. Interventions: Before training, subjects completed their regular warm up session of 10 minutes. Experimental group underwent speed agility and quickness training for 3 days x 4 weeks. Control group continued with their regular training program. Post-testing was completed after 4 weeks of training program. After completion of the training, data was collected and analyzed. Main Outcome Measure(s): The main outcomes measured were Aerobic Capacity and Agility of Players. Results: The pre-test readings of t-test {training group (11.2461.09) and control group (10.9331.093)} and post-test readings were {training group (10.17120.93) and control group (10.68480.85)} which concluded a significant improvement (0.05). Similarly, with aerobic capacity, training group (24.31526.7 vs 30.11768.1) and control group (22.96.54 vs 23.76.6). Conclusions: The study concluded that SAQ protocol can improve both the agility and aerobic capacity in tennis players. Key Words: Saq Protocol, Aerobic Capacity, Agility Disclosures: None disclosed.

e35 Research Objectives: The study explored differences in Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) participants at admission and discharge of a Brain Injury Coping Skills (BICS) 12-Week Program, a group-based cognitive behavioral intervention including brain injury survivors and their primary caregivers. Design: Caregivers completed perceived burden and relationship satisfaction measures and rated behavior changes after brain injury, while brain injury survivors were administered measures on life satisfaction, coping skills, and mood, both before and after completion of the BICS program. Setting: Patients were recruited from the Brain Rehabilitation Clinic at Mayo Clinic Rochester. Participants: Twenty-eight patients with ABI (Stroke Z 21, AneurysmZ1, TumorZ2, Anoxic InjuryZ1, TBIZ2, Other Z 1) and their 28 caregivers (Spouses Z 25; parents Z 2; committed partnerZ1). Patients Mean age Z 65.79 years, Range: 39-81 years; femalesZ8, malesZ20; Mean time since injury Z 22.07 months, Range: 3-111 months. Interventions: Between 2014 and 2016, 7 groups of participants (NZ28), underwent an evidence-based 12-session Brain Injury Coping Skills (BICS) program focused on education and development of coping and compensation skills. Main Outcome Measure(s): All patients completed the Brain Injury Coping Skills Questionnaire (BICS), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Their caregivers completed the Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe) and the Caregiver Appraisal Scale. The Perceived Burden subscale and the Caregiver Relationship Satisfaction subscales of the Caregiver Appraisal Scale were used in analyses. In addition, the Apathy, Disinhibition, and Executive Dysfunction subscales of the FrSBe were analyzed. Tests were administered before and upon completion of the 12-week program. Results: We have complete data on 24 of 28 participants. Paired sample ttests were performed to compare the participant’s scores before and after the brain rehabilitation program. There was a significant decrease in the FrSBe total score (t (21)Z2.83, pZ0.01), which signifies improvement in frontal systems behaviors. There was a significant improvement in apathy (t (22)Z2.76, pZ0.012) and in executive functioning (t (22)Z2.48, pZ0.021). There was improvement in mood as depressive symptoms decreased (t (22)Z-2.47, pZ0.022). No significant change was found for life satisfaction, caregiver relationship satisfaction, caregiver perceived burden, coping skills of the TBI patient, or for disinhibition. Conclusions: After completing a 12- week brain injury coping skills intervention, caregivers reported that ABI patients exhibited an overall reduction in dysexecutive behaviors. Specifically, patients exhibited reduced apathy and improved executive functioning (scale examples: is disorganized, can’t do two things at once, or is inflexible). The program also demonstrated a positive impact on mood as patients reported decreased depressive symptoms at the conclusion of the program. This 12week program appears to provide benefit to patients but additional research is needed to see if the treatment effect is sustained over time.
