A comprehensive literature search was conducted using electronic databases, following PRISMA guidelines. Studies focusing on Ramadan fasting's impact on soccer players' biomarkers and performance were included and critically evaluated. The study revealed that Ramadan fasting did not negatively impact recovery after matches. However, it resulted in decreases in certain blood parameters and performance indicators. Increased sleepiness and muscle fatigue were also observed. Notably, maintaining a training program during Ramadan did not increase oxidative stress. Fasting improved systemic inflammation biomarkers in obese males and did not adversely affect liver and renal function biomarkers. The effects on body weight and plasma volume appeared to be linked to dietary factors or the body's biochemical response to fasting. While Ramadan fasting presents challenges for Muslim soccer players, its overall impact on performance and recovery appears manageable. The findings suggest that players can maintain their performance levels during Ramadan with proper management and training adjustments. However, individual variations and specific aspects of performance should be considered when developing strategies for Muslim athletes during this period.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100113,"journal":{"name":"Apunts Sports Medicine","volume":"60 225","pages":"Article 100467"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142540147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recognizing and referring individuals to support resources is vital for providing necessary assistance. Awareness and recognition of mental health issues enable coaches to create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone can perform their best. This article examines the experiences of participants in U.S. Soccer's Coaching License Courses to understand the frequency they have experienced supporting athletes or staff with mental health challenges and their exposure, interest, perceived value to training in mental health awareness. This observational, cross-sectional study involved a survey following a free mental health awareness presentation. The results of this study showed: (a) a high prevalence of participants have supported athletes or staff in their environment with challenges related to their mental health (82.19 %); (b) a majority of participants had no previous training in recognition or management of mental health related issues (56.65 %); (c) a majority of participants worked with youth athletes (60.16 %); and (d) nearly all participants felt that there was value in having training in mental health for their role as a coach or administrator (98.71 %). In conclusion, coaches and administrators in soccer desire more mental health awareness training. The prevalence to which they have supported individuals with mental health challenges emphasizes the continued need for training and access to mental health resources. Additionally, incorporating training and awareness into all coaching license levels should be prioritized, making it a requirement to comprehensively support athletes and staff both on and off the field.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100113,"journal":{"name":"Apunts Sports Medicine","volume":"59 224","pages":"Article 100459"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666506924000270/pdfft?md5=dca4189ad5cd5cd46ce94a310051c81e&pid=1-s2.0-S2666506924000270-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142232588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, based on the current evidence, this paper aims to summarize the potential mechanisms of the Flossband application benefits. The primary speculated mechanisms, “Pain Gate”, “Fascia Glide”, “Sponge Effect”, “Soft Tissue Ischemia”, and “Joint Effect” were proposed to illustrate how Flossband application works on soft tissues or joints to reduce pain, release fascia tension, improve muscle flexibility, decrease inflammation, and enhance muscle activation. The benefits derived from the Flossband application may be more effectively elucidated through the interaction of the five primary mechanisms mentioned above, whether applied to soft tissues or joints rather than relying on a singular mechanism. This consideration acknowledges the complexity and interactivity inherent in the Flossband application.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100113,"journal":{"name":"Apunts Sports Medicine","volume":"59 224","pages":"Article 100453"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266650692400021X/pdfft?md5=de7e85bbac874c009bbe40e69755caa8&pid=1-s2.0-S266650692400021X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141961544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
