The SPR metric quantifies the impact of each stroke on match dynamics, providing a comprehensive alternative to traditional outcome-based metrics. Results show that on hard courts, first serves to the outside placement achieve the highest expected return (27.3), while on clay courts, the outside has the highest probability distribution (22.1%). For second serves, hard courts favor the inside with the highest expected return (2.3), whereas grass courts demonstrate the highest probability in the outside (6.0%). These findings underscore the critical need to adapt serve strategies to court-specific characteristics, enabling players to maximize strategic efficiency. Coaches can utilize these insights to develop targeted training programs. By integrating the SPR metric and Nash equilibrium, this study combines stroke impact quantification through SPR with game-theoretic strategy optimization. This integration enables players to dynamically adapt serve strategies during matches and empowers coaches to design surface-specific training regimens, thereby enhancing competitive performance through data-driven tactical adjustments.","PeriodicalId":17066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sports Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"1417-1424"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143970748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A secondary aim was to examine how task complexity modulates the relationship between maturation and performance. Thirty-nine soccer players from an English football academy were categorised as pre-, circa- and post-peak height velocity (PHV). As part of routine club testing, players performed 1) bilateral and SL jumps (countermovement jump (CMJ) and 10/5 rebound jump tests), 2) speed (30-m sprint), and 3) change of direction (COD; 505 test and 45° cut) assessments. Landing (LESS score) and cutting mechanics (CMAS score) were determined during SL CMJ and 45° cuts, respectively. Differences in landing mechanics were not observed between groups. However, large effect sizes indicated that CMAS scores were lower in the post-PHV group versus pre- and circa-PHV groups, indicative of a favourable cutting technique. The circa-PHV group outperformed the pre-PHV group in the 'simpler' bilateral CMJ and linear sprint assessments, but not in the SL CMJ, 10/5 or COD assessments. The observed variability between participants in the circa-PHV period could be interpreted by changes in coordinative abilities. It is possible that athletes may require closer monitoring and possible training modification during this phase.","PeriodicalId":17066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sports Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"1452-1461"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144023983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Temporal trends were analysed using general linear models, adjusted for sex, age, height, and weight, with distributional characteristics quantified using the coefficients of variation ratios. Over the 20-year period, handgrip strength declined significantly by 4.5 kg [effect size (ES) = -0.82)], with males (6.0 kg; ES = -0.91) experiencing a larger decline than females (2.2 kg; ES = -0.49). The greatest declines were observed in children (ES = -0.2), adolescents (ES = -0.55) and young adults (ES = -0.52). Middle-aged adults showed a small improvement (ES = 0.2), while older adults displayed no significant change. Distributional variability trends were negligible. These findings raise concerns about population health, as low handgrip strength is linked to chronic diseases and mortality. Continuous surveillance and interventions are essential to enhance muscular strength and public health.","PeriodicalId":17066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sports Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"1490-1498"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144497400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In April 2022, studies were searched for in nine electronic databases. Overall, 58 papers investigating more than 80,000 children and adolescents from 26 countries met full inclusion criteria. Studies examined the associations between PA and psychological health (n = 45), physical health (n = 13), social health (n = 12), general health (n = 1), and health-related habits (i.e. sleep, nutrition, screen time; n = 17). Most studies demonstrated strong evidence for relationships between PA and psychological health. Mostly positive correlations also emerged regarding the relation of PA and physical as well as social health. PA is also associated with other health-related behaviours, with screen time having an exceptional role during the pandemic. This review indicates that PA and health are associated largely even during the changed conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Future studies are needed that focus on the causality of these relationship between PA and health by including studies with longitudinal designs.","PeriodicalId":17066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sports Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"1499-1522"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144119928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results showed that, in general, while average root mean square (RMS) increased, SmO2 decreased (p < 0.05), except in the gastrocnemius medialis, which remained stable. Vastus lateralis and biceps femoris exhibited moderate signal agreement between RMS and SmO2 (CCCLin: vastus lateralis = 0.70; biceps femoris = 0.50), while stabilizing muscles showed weak agreement (gastrocnemius medialis CCCLin = 0.32; tibialis anterior CCCLin = 0.39).
