Sport and exercise science research studies have investigated the effects of experimentally induced mental fatigue on cognitive performance, with mixed results. It has been suggested that negative effects of mental fatigue on cognition performance in laboratory studies could translate to impaired sport performance. However, it remains unclear if impairments in sport performance are due to mental fatigue and how mental fatigue may differ from physical fatigue. Fatigue is well understood as a complex multifactorial construct involving interactions between physiological and neuropsychological responses across brain regions. It may be prudent for researchers to return to the origins of fatigue and cognition before attempting to connect mental fatigue and sport cognition. This article reviews the concept of mental fatigue, its mechanisms and neuroanatomical basis, models of cognition relevant to sports science, investigates how mental fatigue may influence cognition, and suggests future research directions. Mental fatigue as a construct separated from fatigue could be an oversight that has hindered the development of our understanding of mental fatigue. Future sports science research could work to enhance our knowledge of our definitions of fatigue.","PeriodicalId":14439,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142949019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study demonstrates the effects of additional scapular adduction and depression and scapular posterior tilt movements on the activation of trapezius and serratus anterior muscles and scapular kinematics during arm raising. Eighteen asymptomatic men performed arm raising tasks with and without additional scapular movements, including scapular adduction and depression and scapular posterior tilt. During all tasks, the muscle activity of the upper/middle/lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscles was measured using surface electromyography; scapular upward rotation and posterior tilt angles were measured using a smartphone application. Lower trapezius muscle activity significantly increased during arm raising with scapular adduction and depression (p=0.001) or scapular posterior tilt compared to preferred arm raising (p<0.001). However, arm raising with the scapular posterior tilt showed significantly greater serratus anterior muscle activity (p=0.002) and scapular posterior tilt angle (p=0.001) together with lesser upper trapezius muscle activity (p=0.027) compared with those of scapular adduction and depression.

This study investigated the effects of body orientation, movement direction, and limb dominance on the active knee angle reproduction error. Subjects underwent active contralateral knee angle reproduction tests in a seated versus prone position, from a starting point of knee flexion versus knee extension, and with the dominant versus nondominant limb setting the target angle. The test order was randomly determined for each subject. The primary outcome was the absolute active knee angle reproduction error (°). The data of 54 healthy subjects (mean±standard deviation, age: 26±5 years, height: 174±11 cm, body mass: 69.9±14.4 kg, and Tegner activity score: 5.8±1.9) showed that the reproduction error was greater in the seated position than in the prone position. The use of the dominant limb as the reference limb was associated with significantly greater errors in the seated position, but not in the prone position. In conclusion, directly comparing the results obtained in the prone and seated positions is not recommended. However, the dominance of the reference limb might be relevant when testing patients and comparing healthy and injured knees.","PeriodicalId":14439,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143467943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 127 male collegiate Taekwondo athletes (64 lightweight athletes and 63 heavyweight athletes) participated in this study. The athletes were classified into lightweight and heavyweight based on their respective competition weight divisions. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Athletes had experienced fractures to 54.3%. Athletes were more likely to experience fractures during training and defensive movements. Of the fractures reported, 31.9% necessitated surgical intervention. Although 65.1% of the athletes were primarily concerned about the possibility of reinjury, only 36.2% received specialized rehabilitation. The heavyweight athletes had a higher prevalence of fractures (odds ratio=2.40 and 95% confidence interval=1.17-4.90) than the lightweight athletes. The heavyweight athletes had a higher prevalence of fractures during the competition (odds ratio=4.83 and 95% confidence interval=1.54-15.17), in offensive situations (odds ratio=4.67 and 95% confidence interval=1.38-15.99), and in the lower limbs (odds ratio=3.84 and 95% confidence interval=1.12-13.14) than the lightweight athletes.

This study included 14 elite male volleyball players who participated in 95 training sessions and 18 matches. The session rating of perceived exertion and inertial measurement units were utilized to measure internal and external training loads, respectively. Biological recovery was assessed using the countermovement jump test, while social and psychological recoveries were measured through the RESTQ-Sport. Relationships were examined using linear mixed-effect models to account for repeated measures across players and time points. The results revealed that chronic external training loads negatively influenced the biological recovery, with increases in chronic external training loads associated with a longer time to take-off (β=- 0.008, p=0.03) and a reduced modified reactive strength index (β=- 0.008, p=0.047). Social recovery was influenced by internal training load metrics, with acute internal training loads increasing social stress (β=- 3.512, p=0.034). For psychological recovery, chronic internal training loads and the acute:chronic internal training load ratio were linked to higher emotional exhaustion (β=- 0.013, p=0.029; β=0.021, p<0.001, respectively). These findings highlight the critical role of external load management in the biological recovery and the relevance of subjective internal load measures in monitoring social and psychological recovery dimensions. Coaches are encouraged to integrate time-based neuromuscular metrics and perceptual load assessments into their recovery monitoring protocols to optimize athletes' well-being and performance.","PeriodicalId":14439,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143414080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following a graded exercise test to determine maximal oxygen uptake intensity (iVO2max), 26 recreational runners performed a time to exhaustion effort (TTE) as baseline at 110% iVO2max. The same TTE was performed in fasting state, then, a muscle glycogen depletion protocol was executed. Subsequently, participants received a low-carbohydrate diet and beverages containing high (H-CHO, 10.8±2.1 g·kg- 1), moderate (M-CHO, 5.6±1.1 g·kg- 1), or zero (Z-CHO, 0.24±0.05 g·kg- 1) carbohydrates. Another TTE was performed 24 h later. Each energy system contribution was assessed. Generalized linear mixed models were used for statistical analysis (p<0.05). H-CHO increased relative anaerobic capacity (slope effect [baseline -intervention]x[H-CHO - M-CHO]) due to the relative lactic contribution maintenance (slope effect [baseline - intervention]x[H-CHO - Z-CHO] or [H-CHO - M-CHO]) and increase in relative alactic contribution (6.3±3.5 kJ·min- 1). The aerobic contribution was lower (- 8.7±4.0 kJ·min- 1), decreasing performance (- 34±16 s) for H-CHO. M-CHO and Z-CHO maintained anaerobic capacity due to increase in alactic contribution (slope effect [fasting - intervention]x[M-CHO - H-CHO]; and Z-CHO was 7.3±3.4 kJ·min- 1 higher than baseline). Fasting increased relative alactic (2.9±1.7 kJ·min- 1) but decreased aerobic contribution (- 3.3±2.3 kJ·min- 1), impairing performance (- 17±12 s).
