Par ailleurs, l’efficacité d’un programme est d’autant plus marquée que les séances sont régulières et réparties de manière fractionnée sur la semaine. En complément des séances encadrées, une pratique en autonomie contribue à renforcer et pérenniser les effets thérapeutiques obtenus.

The evolution of the study population followed a sequence of men, women, adults, and older adults. “Quality of life (277 times, with a centrality of 0.37)” and “mortality (190 times, with a centrality of 0.23)” were the most frequent and central keywords. The top five popular research clusters were, in order, “heart failure (28 nodes),” “resistance training (26 nodes),” “physical activity (23 nodes),” “exercise training (23 nodes),” and “systematic review (21 nodes).” Nitric oxide has maintained the highest research heat for the longest duration, spanning from 2000 to 2015. “Controlled trial” is the keyword with the highest prominent intensity (strength 21.58). Heart failure is the primary cardiac disease that researchers in this field focus on.

The players were classified as early, on-time and late maturers (&lt;em&gt;Z&lt;/em&gt;-score distribution). Furthermore, a psychological assessment was carried out using a validated Spanish version of the CSAI-2R and a post-competition perception questionnaire. Multivariate analyses (MANOVA) were conducted to estimate the impact of sex and biological maturity status on psychological constructs and perception.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Higher cognitive and somatic anxiety levels in girls (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; &lt;!--&gt;&lt;&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.05, both) and self-confidence in boys (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; &lt;!--&gt;&lt;&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.001) were found. Moreover, higher cognitive anxiety levels were identified in early maturing girls than in on-time maturing girls (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; &lt;!--&gt;&lt;&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.05). According to the bio-banding perception, boys showed higher understanding (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; &lt;!--&gt;&lt;&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.001) and enjoyment (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; &lt;!--&gt;&lt;&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.05) levels. In girls, late maturing girls showed higher enjoyment levels than the rest of the counterparts (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; &lt;!--&gt;&lt;&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.05). Furthermore, enjoyment and self-confidence were positively correlated (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; &lt;!--&gt;&lt;&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.01).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The findings suggest that bio-banding may offer a valuable strategy for creating equitable competitive environments by aligning challenges with players’ maturity status. Practical recommendations include tailoring competitive experiences, addressing psychological needs – particularly in female athletes – and fostering safe developmental pathways. These insights provide actionable guidance for coaches and stakeholders to enhance the effectiveness of talent identification and development programs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objectif&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;La présente étude a analysé l’impact de la maturité biologique et du sexe sur l’anxiété pré-compétitive, la confiance en soi et la perception chez les jeunes joueurs de handball dans le cadre de compétition en fonction de l’âge biologique.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Matériel et méthodes&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;L’échantillon était composé de 87 enfants (46 garçons et 41 filles) âgés de 13 à 17 ans.

Previous studies have found that scheduled exercise can effectively affect the molecular circadian clock in peripheral tissues. However, the mechanisms by which exercise affects clock genes are still not well understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can be affected by exercise and regulate the expression of clock genes. Thus, we hypothesized that scheduled exercise could affect the level of miRNAs to regulate the molecular circadian clock.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Forty-six young healthy men were recruited. The relative changes in miRNAs in the blood of these individuals were tested after a scheduled exercise or sitting quietly as control. Then, an analysis to identify miRNAs that were differentially expressed between the two groups was performed. Next, the relationship of clock genes and the differentially expressed miRNAs was confirmed, and the co-expression relationships among the miRNAs and their target clock genes were analyzed via one-tailed Pearson analyses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Among the detected miRNAs, four of them hsa-miR-24, hsa-miR-107, hsa-miR-206, hsa-miR-142-3p had significant fold changes between scheduled exercise group and control group. And these four miRNAs have been reported that they can regulate the expression of core clock genes. Furthermore, correlation analysis showed that, in addition to hsa-miR-206, the contents of the other three miRNAs were linear dependence with their target core clock genes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Our results suggest that the effect of scheduled exercise on miRNAs is related to molecular circadian clock and represent a new approach for interfering with clock genes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objectif&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Les gènes d’horloge jouent un rôle important dans la régulation des fonctions physiologiques. Des études antérieures ont montré qu’un exercice programmé peut influencer l’horloge circadienne moléculaire dans les tissus périphériques. Cependant, les mécanismes par lesquels l’exercice affecte les gènes d’horloge ne sont pas encore parfaitement compris. Les microARNs (miARNs) peuvent être influencés par l’exercice et réguler l’expression des gènes d’horloge. Nous avons donc émis l’hypothèse qu’un exercice programmé pourrait affecter les niveaux de miARNs pour réguler l’horloge circadienne moléculaire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Méthodes&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Quarante-six jeunes hommes en bonne santé ont été recrutés. Les changements relatifs des miARNs dans le sang de ces individus ont été mesurés après un exercice programmé ou après qu’ils soient restés tranquillement assis en tant que contrôle. Par la suite, une analyse a été réalisée pour identifier les miARNs différentiellement exprimés entre les deux groupes. Ensuite, la relation entre les gènes d’horloge et les miARNs différentiellement exprimés a été confirmée, et les relations de co-expression entre les miARNs et leurs gèn","PeriodicalId":21728,"journal":{"name":"Science & Sports","volume":"40 7","pages":"Pages 554-561"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145060767","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}
