Alma Kisielienė Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education, Kaunas, Lithuania Supervisor: Dr. Rasa Jankauskiene, professor Expression of Self-Esteem and Aggression by Adolescent Judo Athletes Contemporary society witnesses the growth of the negative phenomena, which are often determined by an individual\'s relations with other persons, an inadequate self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, etc. Sport activity, continuous occupation good mutual team relations may affect an individual\'s emotional and psychological determination, stimulate activity, personal competences and inspiration for self-education. Research tasks: to determine and compare the expression of aggression and self-esteem among the adolescent judo athletes and non-athlete adolescents; to explore the relationship between aggression and self-esteem with the achieved sport results. Research sample: 48 respondents who practiced judo and 48 persons of the control group. Testing was carried out among 12-16 year old girls n=42 (37.5%) and boys n=70 (62.5 %). There were more boys among the judo athletes than among the non-athletes — 76.8 % and 48.2 % respectively (χ2=9.75; df=1; p

Our study founded that the expression levels of α-actinin-2 in rat hindlimb muscles were upregulated by long-term exercise training. Moreover, we showed that α-actinin-3 expressions in rat soleus muscle largely increased in response to hindlimb suspension. These results suggest that α-actinin isoform were highly responsive to the change of muscle structure. However, the response of α-actinin isoform to muscle damage inducing disruption of structure is little understood. Purpose: To determine the expression level of alpha actinin isoforms in damaged rat skeletal muscle. Methods: Male Wistar rats (14-wks-age) were divided into two groups: Control (CON, n=6, 277.0 ± 15.3 g) and Bupivacaine-treated (BPVC, n=6, 280.0 ±12.1 g). The rats in BPVC group were bilaterally injected into the tibialis anterior (TA) muscles with 0.5 ml of 0.5 % bupivacaine solution to induce muscle damage. Six days after the injection of bupivacaine, all rats were euthanized, and then TA muscles were quickly removed. The expressions level of αactinin-2 and α-actinin-3 in TA muscle were analyzed by immunoblot analysis. Results: TA muscle weight in BPVC group significantly decreased compared with CON group (p

locate in the Z-line <strong>and</strong> form actin-actin cross-links. Our study founded that the expression<br />

levels <strong>of</strong> α-actinin-2 in rat hindlimb muscles were upregulated by long-term exercise training.<br />

Moreover, we showed that α-actinin-3 expressions in rat soleus muscle largely increased in<br />

response to hindlimb suspension. These results suggest that α-actinin is<strong>of</strong>orm were highly<br />

responsive to the change <strong>of</strong> muscle structure. However, the response <strong>of</strong> α-actinin is<strong>of</strong>orm to<br />

muscle damage inducing disruption <strong>of</strong> structure is little understood.<br />

Purpose: To determine the expression level <strong>of</strong> alpha actinin is<strong>of</strong>orms in damaged rat skeletal<br />

muscle.<br />

Methods: Male Wistar rats (14-wks-age) were divided into two groups: Control (CON, n=6,<br />

277.0 ± 15.3 g) <strong>and</strong> Bupivacaine-treated (BPVC, n=6, 280.0 ±12.1 g). The rats in BPVC<br />
