This study compared CVD risk biomarkers, fitness, and body composition between FFs and LEOs. Ninety-eight career, structural male FFs (age = 35.1±9.6 yrs; weight = 94.3±15.4 kg; height = 178.4±13.2 cm) and seventy-three career LEOs (age = 41.4±9.0 yrs; weight = 92.3±16.8 kg; height = 179.6±8.1 cm) from local departments were studied. Participants completed a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPXT), where VO_2max was estimated from the Foster equation. Fasted blood was collected to assess CVD risk biomarkers. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry assessed body composition, and waist and hip measures were taken. Analyses with and without women participants were conducted to assess differences in CVD risk biomarkers, fitness, and body composition between the FFs and LEOs. Effect sizes were calculated and reported as Cohen's <i>d</i>. Univariate general linear model (GLM) analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were conducted to account for age as a covariate, wherein partial Eta squared (η_p ²) values were used to assess effect size for the GLM statistics. FFs had higher (<i>p</i><0.05) CPXT exercise times (FFs: 10.9±1.6 min; LEOs: 10.3±2.0 min; <i>d</i>=0.366) compared to LEOs. FFs also had higher (<i>p</i><0.05) advanced oxidation protein products (FFs: 134.8±90.1 μM; LEOs: 106.8±67.6 μM; <i>d</i>=0.342), blood cortisol (FFs: 14.2±5.0 μg/dL; LEOs: 12.5±5.6 μg/dL; <i>d</i>=0.325), and waist-to-hip ratios (FF: 0.95±0.06; LEO: 0.89±0.08; <i>d</i>=0.792). These findings suggest that while FFs demonstrated greater CPXT time-to-exhaustion, they also expressed higher stress and CVD risk biomarkers concentrations than LEOs.

This study aimed to examine the effect of breakfast consumption on collegiate female athletes during a resistance training session and their nutritional habits throughout the remainder of the day. Twenty-three female collegiate Division I athletes (basketball, volleyball, bowling, and soccer) during the offseason participated in this cross-over study. The study included three visits: baseline measures for heart rate (HR), blood glucose (BG), salivary cortisol (SC), and 5-repetition maxes for strength exercises; and two randomized conditions: a resistance training session with breakfast (experimental) and one with breakfast omission (control). For each condition, BG, HR, and SC was collected after a wait period which immediately preceded a resistance training session. Blood glucose, RHR, SC, heart rate recovery (HRR), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was collected after resistance training. A two-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to examine how the condition (breakfast or breakfast omission) and time (pre and post) affected BG, HR, and SC. BG was more stable between pre and post in the experimental condition compared to the control. Lastly, a Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed that breakfast was associated with increased happiness and lower academic stress. This study showed that consuming breakfast could influence female collegiate athletes emotionally and physiologically, promoting further research as it could be of importance to female athletes, coaches, and administration.</p>","PeriodicalId":14171,"journal":{"name":"International journal of exercise science","volume":"18 6","pages":"591-609"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12289237/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144707437","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}

Thirteen elite national-level female rowers (age: 26.9 ± 5.1 years; body mass: 60.6 ± 6.9 kg; height: 166.7 ± 6.7 cm) performed three stroke-rate conditions on two ergometer setups: an Olympic rowing ergometer and a modified ergometer with a static seat replicating Traditional rowing. The stroke rates included 18 spm (120 s), 24 spm (100 s), and 30 spm (60 s), with 2-minute rest intervals between sets. Kinematic data, including leg and trunk angles at the catch and finish, as well as leg, trunk, and arm velocities, were captured using an automated analysis system.

The objective of this study was to analyze the evolution of match technical-tactical performance indicators according to age category in men's national football teams (U-17, U-20 and senior). A non-experimental retrospective observational design was used. Variables studied were ball possession, goal chances, shots off target, shots on target, corner kicks, effectiveness; goals, offsides, fouls committed, yellow cards, red cards, and second yellow cards. Data were drawn from 917 matches (195 senior, 369 U-20, and 353 U-17) played by teams from 97 nations. For the study of the differences between winners and losers, a T-test and a discriminant analysis were performed. To analyze the change between the different tournaments, a linear regression and its slope were used. Goal chances, shots on target, and effectiveness are the variables that best discriminated match winners. As players' ages increased, their effectiveness increased, there was a decrease in their shots and goal chances, and game actions were more balanced. The evolution of technical-tactical performance indicators between 2003-2009 and 2010-2019 showed a decrease in fouls committed and yellow cards for all categories. In general, the results show an evolution in the game towards strategies that seek to generate more effective situations with a greater chance of scoring.

Many studies have shown that a large shift in DKV is a predisposing factor for knee injuries and disease, such as anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL), patellofemoral pain syndrome or osteoarthritis. Functional training could be a great tool to reduce DKV. Thus, in this pilot study, nine male youth soccer players (mean age: 16.4 ± 0.2 years) took part in six weeks of functional training program. DKV was measured in pre- and post-measurements during single leg squats using Kinect Azure camera with DynaKnee software. In addition, maximal voluntary muscle contraction (MVC) was measured using a dynamometer and muscle activation amplitude (MAA) was measured using electromyography. Data were analysed using a non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank test to assess differences in DKV, MAA and MVC at a 5% significance level. Data showed a small improvement of DKV in the dominant leg. MVC increased slightly in all variables. The MAA of the involved muscles in the single-leg squat did not show a higher value, but rather a decreasing trend. However, none of the analyses showed significant changes. The small number of participants and the short duration of the training might have been a limiting factor.

We aimed to evaluate the correlations between FSKT, HRV, and body composition measures in amateur Muay Thai fighters. This is a cross-sectional study with 37 Muay Thai fighters. They underwent FSKT-10s and multiple FSKT to measure the kick fatigue index (KFI). In addition, body composition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis and HRV using a heart rate monitor. When comparing the values before and during the FSKT-10s, there was a decrease in the percentage of interval differences of consecutive successive NN intervals greater than 50 ms (pNN50), approximate entropy, and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) index, with an increase in the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) index. The number of kicks assessed by FSKT-10s positively correlated with fat-free mass (FFM) and low frequency (LF) of the HRV assessment. The KFI correlated negatively with the FFM and PNS index, and positively with the LF and SNS index. When amateur Muay Thai fighters perform the FSKT-10s, there is an acute effect on autonomic modulation with increased sympathetic activation and vagal withdrawal. FFM and sympathetic activation are related to performance and susceptibility to fatigue.
