Data were extracted on prevalence, strength, endurance, coordination, reaction time, psychological stress, sleep quality, and injury risk. Random-effects models calculated pooled prevalence, standardized mean differences, and odds ratios. Bruxism prevalence among athletes ranged from 15 to 70%, with a pooled estimate of 38% (95% confidence interval: 25-52%), significantly higher than the general population's 8-20%. Combat sports (58%) and weightlifting (50%) showed the highest rates. Athletes with bruxism exhibited reduced strength (standardized mean difference=-0.48), endurance (standardized mean difference=-0.41), coordination (standardized mean difference=-0.45), slower reaction times (standardized mean difference=-0.33), elevated anxiety (standardized mean difference=0.62), poorer sleep quality (standardized mean difference=-0.56), and a 2.5-fold higher injury risk (odds ratio=2.5). Bruxism poses significant challenges for athletes, compromising oral health, sleep, and performance. Further research should clarify sport-specific risk factors and develop targeted management strategies to safeguard athletes' health and competitive outcomes.","PeriodicalId":14439,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143964749","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}

However, its reliability remains unknown. In this study, we assessed the repeatability of durability (determined as the decline in power output after accumulated work). We recorded the highest power output values (maximum mean power values) attained by 18 professional cyclists (27±4 y) during training and competition for different effort durations (10 s and 1, 5, 10, and 20 min) after different levels of accumulated work (0-40 kJ/kg) during a cycling season. Repeatability was examined through the standard error of measurement and the intra-class correlation coefficient calculated from the two highest maximum mean power values obtained by each cyclist for each duration and level of accumulated work. A progressive decline of maximum mean power values compared to the non-fatigued state was observed after higher levels of accumulated work, particularly after 20 kJ/kg (p<0.001). All maximum mean power values showed high repeatability under fatigue states (all standard error of measurement<5% and intra-class correlation coefficient>0.90), with the lowest repeatability observed for the shortest efforts (10-s maximum mean power). These findings were confirmed separately for training sessions and competitions, albeit with lower repeatability (standard error of measurement<8% and intra-class correlation coefficient>0.80). The measure of durability appears therefore reliable, which might support its validity for monitoring field-based performance in professional cyclists.","PeriodicalId":14439,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078032","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}

These studies assessed sex differences in fatigue using various measures during single and multiple resistance training sets, performance relative to the baseline at various time points (0-5 min, 1-6 h, 24 h, and 48-96 h after resistance training), and metabolic responses. Substantial heterogeneity in study design and results were observed. Together, most studies found minor-to-no sex differences in neuromuscular fatigue, but some evidence of greater fatigability in males during or immediately following resistance training were found when (1) more complex free-weight exercises were performed with moderate loads, (2) rest periods were shorter, and (3) males were substantially stronger than females in relative terms, among others. Future investigations should explore the impact of training variables and habitual training on fatigue in males and females of comparable relative strength and technical proficiency.","PeriodicalId":14439,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143669833","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}

It aims to support evolutionary theory and explore quadrupedal locomotion's potential for enhancing fitness and health. In a randomized crossover design, 12 participants performed quadrupedal and bipedal walking on a treadmill at identical speeds. Physiological responses, including energy expenditure, carbohydrate oxidation rates, respiratory rate, and heart rate, were measured during both forms of locomotion. Quadrupedal walking significantly increased total energy expenditure by 4.15 Kcal/min [95% CI, 3.11 - 5.19 Kcal/min], due to a rise in carbohydrate oxidation of 1.70 g/min [95% CI, 1.02 - 2.24 g/min]. It also increased respiratory and heart rates, indicating higher metabolic demands. The exercise mainly activated upper limb muscles and the gluteus maximus in the lower limbs. Ten minutes of quadrupedal walking at the same speed as bipedal walking resulted in a 254.48% increase in energy consumption. This simple form of locomotion offers a strategy for enhancing physical activity, and supports the idea that energy optimization influenced the evolution of efficient bipedal locomotion.","PeriodicalId":14439,"journal":{"name":"International journal of sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":"344-355"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142620697","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}

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.
