Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Proprioception makes an important contribution to the regulation of speed, strength, and spatial parameters of movements, determining the level of proficiency in motor skills. However, the effectiveness of various training approaches in relation to voluntary proprioceptive control of target muscles has not been sufficiently studied. In this paper, we investigated the effectiveness of three types of manipulative training: (1) fine coordination, (2) discrete muscle relaxation and (3) their combinations in relation to the accuracy of reproducing: (а) the angular deviation of the joystick from the vertical and (b) static muscle efforts during the pronation and supination of the joystick. The study involved 40 young (18–35 years old), physically active volunteers who randomly made up four groups of ten people: “Control” (lack of training), “Coordination” (training of passing an analog of a slit maze with a thin probe), “Discrete Relaxation” (training of discrete muscle relaxation of pronators and supinators of the forearm), “Combined” (combined training of maze passing and discrete relaxation). Before and after training (n = 10) we eva°luated: (1) the accuracy of reproduction of the deviation of the hand joystick from the vertical by 20°, 50°, 80° and (2) the accuracy of reproduction of isometric contraction (0, 20, 50, and 80% of the maximum effort) in the descending and ascending directions as well as discrete achievement of any effort level by pronation/supination of the joystick. It was found that coordination training increased the length of the traversed path in 3 min with a reduced number of errors and increased the proprioceptive accuracy of reproducing the angle of deviation of the joystick by 20°. In the “Discrete Relaxation” group the mean modulus of errors in reproducing descending, ascending, and discrete forces during supination, as well as the mean modulus of errors in reproducing descending, ascending, and discrete forces during forearm pronation decreased after course training. At the same time, no changes in the accuracy of reproducing the angular positions of the joystick were found in this group. In the “Combined” group, training led to an increase in the accuracy of reproducing ascending and descending efforts during pronation, as well as the accuracy of descending efforts during supination of the forearm. In addition, in this group, a decrease in the error modulus during reproducing the tilt of the joystick by 50° by supination was revealed. Correlation analysis did not reveal positive links between training changes in proprioceptive control of different modality. Thus, the training effects used on the target muscles of the forearm have a specific effect on the proprioceptive control of muscle effort and spatial position in the hand joints. The high efficiency of discrete relaxation training regarding the accuracy of voluntary efforts allows us to recommend its use in order to increase the level of mastery of the motor skills of the hand.
