Changes in condition of top athletes with prolonged air travel for expedition to foreign countries
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To examine the considerations in conditioning for foreign expedition with prolonged air travel, we investigated the changes in condition accompanied with long air flight among the Japanese top athletes. The athletes who participated in the 14th Asian games (2002/Busan) as Japanese delegation carried out a survey by questionnaire on foreign expedition in 2002, regarding experiences of change in their condition and the influence to performance at the competition, and behaviors in the air plane during flight. We collected the effective data from five hundred twenty nine (529) athletes. The most frequent country for expedition is China, following as France, United States of America, Australia, and Canada. Two hundred fifty (250) athletes have experiences of swell of crus and pain of low back and crus in the past. One hundred forty one (141) athletes also deteriorated their condition due to prolonged travel. In forty one (41) athletes, the deterioration of their condition influenced their performance at the competition. About three hundred ninety (390) to four hundred fifty (450) athletes did not arrange the timing or content of breakfast, dinner or sleep at the days before travel or on the day on travel, in consideration of difference in time. The higher occurrence behaviors in the airplane are sleeping, reading books, listening music, and watching movie video. However, the occurrences of exercises such as stretching, massage, flexibility exercise, and easy training were low. Many athletes drunk beverages such as tea, coffee, water, or alcohol, and took care of warming body and preventing to dry nose and/ir tgriat. As they are kinds of diuretic drinks and easily make the athletes dehydrated, athletes should be advised to take isotonic drinks with minerals. These findings suggested that prolonged air travel accompanying with foreign expedition influenced condition of Japanese top athletes, which was related with performance at the competitions. We concluded that fluid intake to prevent dehydration, lower exercise to faciliate peripheral blood circulation, and attention to timing and volume of sleeping and meals before and during travel were needed to prevent the deterioration of condition in Japanese top athletes. Then, disorder of circadian rhythm related with jetlag characterized by fatigue, sadness and sleep problems were discussed to resynchronize on the local time. Consequently subliminal problems during expedition were clarified to improve conditioning of representative athletes. Coaches should educate the importance of conditioning during prolonged air travel to athletes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
