This explorative study aimed to (1) describe the EMG activity of the quadriceps and hamstrings and (2) identify the metrics most sensitive to changes between the first and second half. Seven players (age: 23.1 ± 5.7 years; height: 1.82 ± 0.05 m; weight: 77.6 ± 10 kg) were evaluated. EMG outcomes included EMG amplitude, intensity distribution, and usual bout duration for dominant (D) and non-dominant (N.D) muscles. Hamstring activity averaged 47% (D) and 43% (N.D) of %EMGMVC, while quadriceps averaged 32% (D) and 27% (N.D). Most time was spent at the lowest EMG intensity and 13% at the highest intensity. Bout amplitudes (37-54%EMGMVC) and durations (14-17s) varied between muscle groups and limbs. The hamstrings' usual EMG bout amplitude (N.D) was the most sensitive, showing a 12% reduction (effect size [ES] = 0.64, p = 0,01). The most substantial percentage change was observed in the hamstrings' duration > 100% EMGMVC (D), which decreased by 27% (ES = 0.14, p = 0.57) with other metrics showing smaller reductions. This study highlights the potential of textile EMG to quantify neuromuscular demands during soccer matches, offering valuable tools for performance monitoring and tailored interventions to enhance training and prevent injuries.","PeriodicalId":17066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sports Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143468333","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}

Using fifty-three players from two professional Scottish soccer academies, this study examined the effects of team size (4v4, 5v5, and 6v6) and bio-banding (i.e. grouping players by maturity status) on players technical (i.e. touches, releases, possessions), physical (i.e. distance covered, accelerations/decelerations), and psychological (i.e. confidence, competitiveness, positive attitude) performance during small-sided games, using foot-mounted inertial measurement units (F-IMU) and coach observations. Data were analysed using multivariate ANOVA. During maturity-matched games, technical actions decreased as team size increased. More mature players displayed greater technical actions in 4v4 compared to 6v6. Maturity-mismatched games revealed significant technical action differences for less mature players, particularly in 4v4 formats. More mature players covered greater high-intensity distances in maturity-matched and mismatched 6v6 games. Psychological scores were higher for more mature players in smaller team sizes (4v4), whereas less mature players showed consistent psychological scores across all formats. Smaller team sizes and maturity-matched bio-banding formats enhanced technical actions and psychological characteristics, particularly for more mature players.","PeriodicalId":17066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sports Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143189705","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}

Moreover, SRC symptomology was not increased when assessed immediately postexercise and showed a 24 h follow-up benefit. Accordingly, persons with an SRC demonstrated an EF benefit following a single bout of sub-symptom threshold aerobic exercise.

Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of each theoretically defined performance parameter on the amount of rotation using deterministic models for halfpipe and kicker tricks, separated for the direction of rotation, performed on a trampoline with a bounce board. Kinematic motion tracking was used to determine biomechanical performance parameters of 157 corks performed by 15 riders, and random intercept models were used to develop deterministic models. The results show that regardless of the discipline and direction of rotation, angular velocity, take-off velocity and the moment of inertia are key performance indicators to increase the amount of rotation. The coefficient of determination showed a high goodness-of-fit and the standardized estimate was highly significant for all investigated performance parameters.

Fifteen elite male athletes performed maximal effort push starts, while ground reaction forces (GRF) and 3D marker trajectories were simultaneously recorded for ground contacts of different sub-sections of the push phase (start acceleration phase: first and second ground contact after the initial push-off from the start block, acceleration phase: 10 m and high-velocity phase: 30 m). To obtain a comprehensive view of the push phase, whole-body kinematics as well as joint kinetics were analysed and compared across the push phase. The results showed that propulsion during the start acceleration was hip extensor dominant. With increasing running speed, the contribution to propulsion increased at the ankle and decreased at the knee. In contrast to unresisted sprinting, bobsleigh athletes relied more on mechanical energy generation at the hip than at the ankle, especially during start acceleration.

Barriers included lack of confidence in measuring RMR, burden of measurement on athlete and technician, confusion over measurement responsibility, and scepticism in RMR measurements as an indicator of LEA. Subthemes that contributed to scepticism included: the RMR thresholds used to indicate LEA, unanswered research questions, and measurement errors introduced by athlete presentation, testing equipment and/or environment. Enablers to use of RMR measurements included perceived value of RMR measurements as a 'piece of the puzzle' when assessing for LEA and its use as a longitudinal measure.
