Comparison of brachial artery endothelial function in the dominant arm between male college baseball pitchers and fielders. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2025-Although structural changes caused by exercise-induced vascular adaptation have been reported in baseball players, current evidence in the literature concerning vascular function remains limited. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether vascular endothelial function in the brachial artery of the dominant arm differed between university baseball pitchers vs. fielders. Ninety baseball players participated in this study. Brachial artery diameter and vasodilator function were measured in the supine position for each subject using an ultrasound imaging system. Shoulder joint range of motion and muscle strength were measured in supine and prone positions. Compared with the fielders, the pitchers had a decreased mean flow-mediated dilation (FMD) values (7.5% ± 2.5 vs. 10.6% ± 4.0%, p < 0.001) but significantly higher values for range of motion regarding external rotation (ER) of the shoulder joint (119.8 ± 8.5° vs. 115.7 ± 7.8°, p = 0.035), ER muscle strength (7.6 ± 2.2 N vs. 6.2 ± 2.0 N, p = 0.009), and baseline brachial artery diameter (4.2 ± 0.4 mm vs. 4.0 ± 0.4 mm, p = 0.010).

This study aimed to (a) compare IMTP and CMJ kinetics between young weightlifters who did and did not attain national qualification and (b) identify kinetic variables that predict qualification. Thirty-seven young weightlifters were classified into 2 groups: those who qualified (QUAL; age = 17.1 ± 0.3 years, maturity offset = 3.13 ± 0.6 years, males = 15, females = 10) and those who did not qualify (DNQ; age = 15.8 ± 2.2 years, maturity offset = 2.7 ± 1.6 years, males = 6, females = 6). Subjects completed CMJ and IMTP tests on dual force plates. T-tests revealed that QUAL showed significantly ( p < 0.05) higher relative force at minimum displacement ( g = 0.82), average relative propulsive force ( g = 1.76), and average propulsive velocity during the CMJ ( g = 0.68), along with a shorter propulsive phase ( g = -1.22). In the IMTP, QUAL demonstrated higher relative peak force. Statistical parametric mapping revealed greater relative vertical force at 69-88% of movement time in QUAL, indicating higher force during the CMJ propulsive phase.

J Strength Cond Res 39(10): e1218-e1225, 2025-Repetitions-in-reserve (RIR) allows the standardization of effort between individuals during resistance training. This study investigated the validity and reliability of predicting RIR during low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR). Twenty subjects were assessed for bench press one-repetition maximum (1RM), before 4 experimental trials (20, 30, 30, 40% 1RM) comprising 4 sets (30, 15, 15, 15 repetitions; 30 seconds rest) with continuous BFR at 60% arterial occlusion pressure. After 15 repetitions in the final set, subjects estimated RIR before continuing the set to failure. Differences between estimated RIR and actual repetitions to failure were calculated (RIR error ). Test-retest reliability of RIR error was determined from repeated 30% 1RM trials using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and coefficients of variation (CV). Differences and associations were assessed by repeated measures ANOVA and correlational analyses. The fewest fourth set repetitions were performed at 40% 1RM (median [interquartile range] = 8 [5-16] repetitions), followed by 30% 1RM (30 [19-37]) and 20% 1RM (90 [53-114]). RIR error was significantly higher with 20% 1RM (52 [23-76]) than 30% 1RM (9 [2-15]; p < 0.001) but was not analyzed at 40% 1RM (because 14/20 subjects completed ≤15 repetitions). Repetitions-in-reserve predictions were moderately reliable (ICC: 0.980, CV: 13.6%), but with wide limits of agreement (-7 to 7 repetitions). Number of fourth set repetitions was almost perfectly correlated with RIR error ( R2 = 0.90-0.94). Repetitions-in-reserve should not replace 1RM training prescriptions for low-load BFR.

Anthropometry, maturity offset, agility (perception-decision time, and movement response time), and CODS were assessed. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was applied to obtain the standardized coefficients of each variable in the model and the accuracy of the model comparing the predicted with the true group. Aiming to describe the discriminant ability of CODS and agility, all LDA models also included subjects age, maturity offset, and training age. Standard discriminant function (SDF) revealed that CODS (SDF = -0.012) or perception-decision (SDF = -0.380) time has a reduced discriminatory ability compared with age and maturity offset. When considering all variables, movement response time (SDF = -0.726) and maturity offset (SDF = 0.595) contributed the most to the discriminant ability of the models (75% accuracy). Moreover, movement response time correctly classified elite (accuracy >84%) compared with subelite and nonelite players. Our results indicate that agility tests with specific stimuli are better than CODS tests at distinguishing young soccer players of different competitive levels, even when considering the effects of age, maturity status, and training age.

We measured single-leg knee extensor strength under isometric and dynamic conditions on 64 young adults (33 men and 31 women). Subjects performed maximal and burst-like contractions under isometric conditions to assess maximal torque (MVT) and rate of torque development (RTD). Under dynamic conditions, a torque-velocity relationship was obtained from an incremental load test. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to reduce the dimensionality of the data set and group variables. Principal component analysis identified 4 components: (a) \"Maximal force\" (composed by MVT, T 0 , RTD 100 , RTD 150 , T opt , Pmax ), (b) \"Explosiveness\" (composed by RTD 50 , RTD peak , RTD 50 N, RTD 100 N, RTD 150 N, RTD peak N, time to peak torque, time to RTD peak ), (c) \"Force at high velocity\" (composed by V 0 and V opt ), and (d) \"Curvature\" (C). When data were normalized by sex differences, \"Explosiveness\" resulted as the first component and Pmax was included in the \"Force at high velocity\" component. The present findings remark the importance of testing the explosiveness (i.e., early RTD and normalized RTD metrics) together with torque-velocity profiling, to have a more comprehensive assessment of neuromuscular qualities.</p>","PeriodicalId":17129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research","volume":" ","pages":"e1226-e1232"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144506058","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}
