<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><italic>Study aim</italic>: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 12 weeks of Pilates, coordination and strength exercise on the osteoporosis patient’s social physical anxiety and physical parameters.<italic>Methods</italic>: Three groups of patients practiced 12 weeks of exercises, 3 day/week, 60 minutes/day. Each group performed a different set of exercises. Those are Pilates, coordination and strength exercise. For each group before and after program the social physical anxiety index and physical parameters were measured.<italic>Results</italic>: The paired sample T test shows that the Pilates and Coordination group has significant improvement regarding the participants’ social physical anxiety. On the other hand the strength exercises have a bigger impact on the physical parameters of the patients.<italic>Conclusion</italic>: The exercise programs improve the physical fitness capacity of the female patients with osteoporosis. Social physical anxiety decreases with increasing self-confidence, as patients feel their body muscles have become stronger.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><italic>Introduction:</italic>The field of sports nowadays experiences a continuous development, both from the sports performance and social perspective, transitioning from a free time activity to a complex industry. On this growth trend where more and more people practice sports a large sports services market has developed, which brought a new applicability for marketing in this area of consumption.The efficiency of a new marketing policy with regard to a sports entity depends on the importance given to consumer’s needs. By studying the consumer’s behavior one understands identifying the ways the consumer comes to a decision when deciding how to spend available resources (time, money, effort) in the acquisition and consumption process.<italic>Aim:</italic> Sports clubs, especially the private ones, are in a continuous competition on the sports services market, we decided to identify the demand and needs of parents in Timisoara when it comes to choosing a sports activity for their children.<italic>Methods:</italic>We obtained the information necessary for carrying out this market study based on a questionnaire. The research took place in Timisoara throughout the year 2016, and a number of 217 parents having children that were enrolled in seven different private sports clubs were included in the study, our target being sports games.<italic>Results:</italic>The results help in highlighting the needs and demand of sports consumers, offering information about the amount of money parents are willing to pay, the number of weekly training sessions, the day and location for the activities, the best advertising etc. With these data we hope that sports managers can implement new marketing strategies, having a more detailed vision on the target group.</abstract>

The following study focuses on analyzing the free throws in the Men’s National League of Basketball, emphasizing those features that can make the difference between the champion team and the other participants.Thus, starting from the hypothesis that the team on the first place must be the team with the lowest average of the free throws of the visiting teams, this study would like to point out the number of free throws that were given to the host teams and to the guest teams. Other aspects that have been analyzed in this paper include the percentage of scored points in free throws, the percentage of free throws for teams participating in the LNBM (Men’s National Basketball League) and the teams that have benefited from the most free throws, so that the data obtained can provide coaches with a series of useful information for future preparation.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Polysemy is a rather complex and productive phenomenon in sporting language terminology. It is proof of the unlimited and varied possibilities that the Romanian language has to enrich itself from a lexical point of view. Enriching a Romanian word with a new meaning is possible by borrowing a term from another language, a term that has another meaning except for the one corresponding to the Romanian word.Perfect synonymy in sporting language is generated by the influences of other foreign languages, by paraphrasing borrowed words, or by the attempt to create a genuine new word with a recent neologism. In sporting language, synonymy is the result of trying to replace a neologism with a word from common language.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Volleyball has become a sport of the giants. Under these circumstances it is desirable that players of a very large stature also possess a corresponding vertical jump. The aim of the paper was to identify the values of some parameters that we considered crucial in limiting or maximizing the in-game performance of the athletes in the study. Our intention was to verify if the body composition indicators change significantly at different stages of a competition season and if the characteristics of the jump, crucial in performing the actions through which the points arescored, are relevant in determining the level of physical conditioning. Twelve players (n=12) were selected from the second league Romanian male volleyball team CSU UVT. The subjects were tested for body composition and their spike jump and counter movement jump was measured on three separate occasions, each corresponding to a different stage of training.Study results highlighted a significant increase of 1.15kg (p=0.028) in weight at the intermediate testing compared to the initial values. There were no differences in muscle mass between the initial and the intermediate testing (p=0.88). The results have shown a significant increase of the average skeletal muscle mass in the final test by 0.77 kg over the intermediate test (p=0.012) and 0.81kg over the initial test (p=0.039).We recorded a considerable increase of body fat mass between initial and intermediate testing (p=0.0073) and there was an average decrease of 1.76 kg (p=0.0285) of body fat mass between intermediate and final testing.We have seen a significant increase in the height of the spike jump at the final test compared to the intermediate testing (p&lt;0.0001) respectively the initial testing (p&lt;0.0001).The counter movement jump recorded a significant decrease in the intermediate test 37.58 cm, compared to the initial test 40.57 cm (p=0.014).. Final measurements of the counter movement jump height increase in relation to intermediate testing (p=0.037).Measurements also indicate a direct correlation between the height and power developed during the jump in all the three tests: initial (r=0.76), intermediate (r=0.68) and final (r=0.84).</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The problem of practicing a sport during childhood is a largelycommented topic, being closely related to the physical development, physiological and emotional balance of the human body during the growth period.The obesity rate increased with over 20% in prepubertal children, which inevitably led to a decrease in their motor performance in strength, speed and endurance efforts, hence the imperative to train strength in children.Starting from this idea, our study aimed at investigating whether a 10-monthtraining program involving athletic means could improve strength inprepubertal children aged 6-9 years. There were 50investigatedsubjects aged 6-9 years, of whom 20subjectswere part of the experimental group. The athletics lessons took place three times per week and lasted 80 minutes.Strength was assessed by two motor tests: standing long jump and sit-ups from lying on the back within30 seconds. After the statistical processing of the obtained results in the two motor tests, we can conclude that, at this age, it is possible tointervene on the improvement of both the lower-limb explosive strength andthe abdominal muscle strength.</abstract>
