Innebandy är en växande idrott, som framför allt utövas i Sverige, Finland och Schweiz, men där väldigt lite forskning ännu finns publicerad. Tidigare studier inom ishockey och baseboll har visat att träning med viktmanipulerad utrustning förbättrat bland annat greppstyrka och svinghastigheten av slagträ i baseboll. Annan forskning har visat på att det är en förbättring i det neuromuskulära samspelet snarare än ökad muskelmassa som förbättrat prestationen vid dynamisk motståndsträning. Skotthastigheten anses vara en viktig faktor inom innebandy för prestationen och eftersom det inom baseboll har visats att viktmanipulerad utrustning kan förbättra svinghastigheten så vore det intressant att se om samma resultat kan uppnås inom innebandy. Syftet med studien var att undersöka effekten av innebandyträning med en viktmanipulerad innebandyklubba med avseende på dragskottshastighet och greppstyrka hos manliga innebandyspelare samt undersöka korrelationen mellan dragskottshastighet och greppstyrka. Även testpersonernas subjektiva uppfattning av träningen med den viktmanipuleradeutrustningen undersöktes. Testgruppen bestod av 13 stycken 17-åriga manliga innebandyspelare. Under en sex veckors period genomförde testpersonerna 30 minuter av sin vanliga innebandyträning med den viktmanipulerade klubban (40 gram tyngre) tre gånger i veckan. Dragskotten filmades med en höghastighetskamera (Casio Exilim EX-FH25) med 250 fps och analyserades sedan i Dartfish för att mäta hastigheten. För att fastställa greppstyrkan användes en handdynamometer (Jamar – Baseline Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer). Träningen resulterade i en signifikant skillnad hos testpersonernas greppstyrka i den nedre handen på klubban (p<0,05). Däremot hittades ingen signifikant skillnad för den övre handens greppstyrka eller dragskottshastigheten. Studien visade heller inte på någon korrelation mellan dragskottshastighet och greppstyrka hos testpersonerna. Testpersonerna hade olika åsikter kring hur den extra tyngden påverkade innebandytekniken.De funna resultaten indikerar att träning med viktmanipulerad utrustning i innebandy signifikant förbättrar spelarnas greppstyrka i den nedre handen. Den ökade kraftutvecklingen kan eventuellt förklaras av ett ökat neuromuskulärt samspel. Studien ger en ökad förståelse för hur dynamisk motståndsträning kan implementeras i den dagliga innebandyträningen, vilket kan tillämpas vid planeringen av träningsprogram. / Floorball is a sport with increasing number of participants, which has not been studied extensively according to the literature. Previous studies on ice hockey and baseball have shown that training with weight manipulated equipment improved grip strength and swing speed. Other research has shown that the increased performance with dynamic resistance training rather occurs from the improvements in the neuromuscular facilitation than an increase in muscle mass. In floorball shooting velocity is considered to be an important factor of the performance. Since it has been shown in baseball that training with weight manipulated equipment can improve the bat velocity, it would be interesting to see if the same results can be found in floorball. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of grip strength and drag shot velocity in floorball training with a weight manipulated floorball stick. The study also investigated the relationship between grip strength and drag shot velocity. The test subjects’ subjective perception about the training method was also investigated. Thirteen 17-year-old male floorball players participated in the study. During a six weeks period the subjects used the weight manipulated equipment during 30 minutes, three times per week during their regular team practice. 40 grams lead tape was attached to the player's equipment to increase the resistance. The drag shots were filmed with a high speed camera (Casio Exilim EX-FH25) at 250 fps. The drag shot velocity was analyzed in Dartfish. To assess grip strength a hand dynamometer (Jamar - Baseline Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer)was used. The training resulted in a significant increase for the subjects’ grip strength in the lower hand on the stick (p <0,05). The study found no significant difference for the upper hand grip strength or drag shot velocity. No correlation between drag shot velocity and handgripstrength among the subjects were found. Conclusion: The results found in this study indicate that training with weight manipulated equipment can significantly improve the player’s lower hand grip strength. The results can eventually be explained by more effective fiber recruitment in the muscles. Studying floorball can contribute to increase the interest in research on floorball and increase the understanding for how dynamic resistance training can be incorporated in daily floorball practice.

Extensive research has already been performed on Aloe vera therefore it is important that researchers include other aloe species, such as Aloe marlothii and Aloe ferox, in studies involving aloe plant materials (Loots et al., 2007:6891). The use of natural products has regained popularity and in recent years the demand for alternative medication has risen considerably (Walji & Wiktorowicz, 2013:86). The hydration state of the human skin is fundamental for its normal functioning (Verdier-Sévrain & Bonté, 2007:75), with healthy skin possessing a water content higher than 10% (w/v) (Blank, 1952:439). This demonstrates the importance of the topical application of skin moisturisers as part of basic skin care regime (Verdier-Sévrain & Bonté, 2007:75). The first part of this project focused on the in vivo skin hydration effects of the precipitated polysaccharide components of A. vera, A. ferox and A. marlothii leaf gel materials (3% (w/v)) after single (30, 90 and 150 min after application) and multiple applications (twice daily application over a period of four weeks) on healthy volunteers, respectively. The anti-erythema effects of these aloe materials on sodium lauryl sulphate irritated skin were also examined. The skin hydration effects of the aloe materials were determined with the Corneometer® CM 825 and Visioscan® VC 98 during the short term study (single application) and longer term study (multiple applications). In addition, as an indirect measurement of skin hydration, the Cutometer® dual MPA 580 was used to measure skin elasticity during the longer term study. To determine the anti-erythema effects of the aloe materials when applied to irritated skin areas, the haemoglobin content of the skin was measured with a Mexameter® MX 18. The results from the in vivo study indicated that A. ferox gel material dehydrated the skin, whereas A. vera and A. marlothii gel materials hydrated the skin during the short term study. Results from the longer term study showed that all the aloe leaf materials have skin dehydration effects, probably due to the aloe absorbing moisture from the skin into the applied gel layer upon drying. From the anti-erythema study, it was seen that A. vera and A. ferox materials had the potential to reduce erythema on the skin similar to that of the positive control group (i.e. hydrocortisone gel) after six days of treatment. The skin possesses exceptional barrier properties which can mostly be ascribed to the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum (SC). Due to the physical barrier the skin has against drug permeation, the delivery of drug molecules into and across the skin continues to be challenging (Lane, 2013:13) and to overcome this barrier, penetration enhancers can be used to efficiently deliver drugs across the skin (Barry, 2002:522). The aim of the second part of this project was to determine the skin penetration enhancing effects of the gel and whole leaf materials of A. vera, A. marlothii and A. ferox. Ketoprofen was used as the marker compound and a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated to determine the amount of ketoprofen present in the samples. Prior to the skin diffusion studies, membrane release studies were performed to test whether the solutions containing different concentrations of the aloe leaf materials (i.e. 3.00%, 1.50% and 0.75% (w/v)) released ketoprofen from their gel-like structures. From these studies, it was evident the 0.75% (w/v) concentration had the highest average percentage ketoprofen release, which was subsequently chosen as the concentration for the aloe leaf materials tested in the transdermal skin diffusion studies. The in vitro permeation study was conducted across dermatomed (400 μm thick) skin in Franz diffusion cells. Tape stripping was performed after completion of the diffusion studies to determine the concentration ketoprofen present in the SC-epidermis and epidermis-dermis layers of the skin. Results from the in vitro permeation study showed that A. vera gel enhanced the flux of ketoprofen to the highest extent (20.464 μg/cm2.h) when compared to the control group (8.020 μg/cm2.h). Aloe marlothii gel (12.756 μg/cm2.h) and A. ferox whole leaf material (12.187 μg/cm2.h) also enhanced the permeation of ketoprofen across the skin compared to the control group. A. vera gel material was the most efficient transdermal drug penetration enhancer of the selected aloe species investigated. In order to determine by which mechanism the aloe leaf materials enhanced the skin permeation of ketoprofen (Hadgraft et al., 2003:141), the permeation profiles were analysed using a non-linear curve-fitting procedure (Díez-Sales et al., 1991:3) to obtain α, β and kp values. A change in the α-value indicated the aloe leaf material influenced the partition coefficient (K), whereas a change in β indicated the aloe leaf material influenced the diffusivity (D) (with the assumption that h, the diffusional path length is constant) (Otto et al., 2010:278). The calculated α-values indicated the drug permeation enhancing effect of A. vera gel can be ascribed to an increased partitioning of the drug into the skin. The calculated β-values showed A. ferox whole leaf altered the diffusion characteristics of the skin for ketoprofen. The tape stripping results showed A. marlothii whole leaf delivered the highest concentration of the ketoprofen into the SC-epidermis and epidermis-dermis layers of the skin. / PhD (Pharmaceutics), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Pigmentation disorders occur in multiple conditions (Hakozaki et al., 2006:105). Although many modalities of treatments are available, none are completely satisfactory (Briganti et al., 2003:101). Two cytokines normally present in the skin, transforming growth factor–beta1 (TGF–81) and tumour necrosis factor–alpha (TNF–9), have been shown to inhibit melanin synthesis (Martinez–Esparza, 2001:972). The stratum corneum has been commonly accepted as the main barrier to percutaneous absorption. Many techniques have been applied to overcome this barrier properties and to enhance penetration with varying success (Pellet et al., 1997:92). The objective of this study was to investigate the topical delivery of the above mentioned peptide drugs with aid of the Pheroid drug delivery system. Pheroid technology is a delivery system that promotes the absorption and increases the efficacy of dermatological, biological and oral medicines in various pharmacological groups (Grobler et al., 2008:4). Pheroid entraps drugs with high efficiency and delivers them with remarkable speed to target sites (Grobler, 2004:4). In order to avoid degradation of these peptides, bestatin hydrochloride (an aminopeptidase inhibitor), was used (Lkhagvaa et al., 2008:386). Topical drug delivery was achieved by means of vertical Franz cell diffusion studies performed over a 6 and 12 h period. ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) detection was used to detect cytokine concentrations. Entrapped cytokine solutions were monitored by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Upon removal of donor and receptor compartments, skin discs were subjected to tape stripping in order to establish the amount of active present within the stratum corneum and epidermis as well as the remaining dermis (Pellet et al., 1997:92). When comparing the two studies with each other, it is evident that the diffused concentration values obtained with PBS (phosphate buffer solution, pH 7.4) was lower than that obtained with the Pheroid drug delivery system. Both cytokine concentrations were successfully delivered topically as a minimum of concentrations for both actives were detected. This positive result was confirmed as well by the amount of active detected in stratum corneum–epidermis and epidermis–dermis solutions. / Thesis (M.Sc.
