Twelve healthy individuals (5 men, 7 women; 33.0 ± 12 years) randomly performed a single 20-minute high-intensity WB-EMS and a time- and intensity-matched whole-body circuit training (CT) with a 3-week wash-out period. Blood samples were taken pre- and post-training and at 1.5, 3, 24, 48 and 72 h after exercise to assess creatine kinase (CK), myoglobin, and creatinine, cell populations (red and white blood cells [RBC, WBC], thrombocytes), cytokines (interleukin IL-1Ra, IL-6, IL-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 [MCP-1]), angiogenic factors (IL-8, vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], thrombospondin), adipokines (leptin, adiponectin), and hormones (testosterone, cortisol). WB-EMS induced significant CK elevations peaking at 72 h (WB-EMS, 18,358 ± 21,380 vs. CT, 186 ± 129 U/l; time × group, p < .001) and increased MCP-1 after 3 h (time × group, p < .05). Both protocols induced similar effects on WBC, RBC, IL-1Ra, IL-8, leptin, and cortisol (overall time effect, all p < .01). WBC increased at 1.5 and 3 h (p < .001) and RBC decreased over 72 h (p < .05). IL-1Ra peaked at 1.5 h (p < .01) and IL-8 was elevated at 3-72 h (p < .05). The cortisol and leptin decreases lasted up to 48 and 72 h, respectively (p < .05). Despite inducing muscle damage, a single of high-intensity WB-EMS session did not lead to significantly different inflammatory and hormonal signaling compared to an acute aerobic CT session. Prolonged studies are needed to investigate whether regular WB-EMS leads to more pronounced training adaptations despite similar signaling signatures.","PeriodicalId":94191,"journal":{"name":"Research quarterly for exercise and sport","volume":" ","pages":"580-589"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: Shooting scores and EEG activity in the left and right temporal regions were collected from 20 healthy air pistol shooters (10 assigned to neurofeedback training) before and after a 16-session intervention completed within 6 weeks. Specifically, EEG low-alpha (8-10 hz), high-alpha (10-13 hz) power, and coherence obtained at the T3-Fz and T4-Fz recording sites over three consecutive 1-s intervals prior to trigger pull, were subjected to three separate 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 (Group x Hemisphere x Time x Epoch) ANOVAs. Results: The neurofeedback group exhibited elevated low- and high-alpha EEG power across both temporal regions, but no differences in EEG broad-band alpha coherence, accompanied by enhanced performance after the intervention compared to the control group. Conclusions: The findings support the influence of neurofeedback training on cerebral cortical arousal and performance of a precision-aiming task, however, the influence of the neurofeedback on brain dynamics (i.e. alpha power) extended beyond the targeted region as a nonspecific manifestation of cerebral cortical inhibition leading to neural efficiency at the homologous sites.","PeriodicalId":94191,"journal":{"name":"Research quarterly for exercise and sport","volume":" ","pages":"486-496"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Global positioning system data were collected from 39 male soccer players across two seasons. Kinematic and mechanical MDP were identified by composite MDPk (maximal distance covered across moderate- and high-speed running and sprinting thresholds) and MDPm (maximal magnitude of high-intensity acceleration and deceleration efforts) criterion variables across 5 min moving average periods. Linear mixed models assessed the intensity, number of efforts, and duration of specific locomotor activities of each MDP by position. The kinematic MDP showed higher intensity, effort count, and relative duration of MDPk activities than mechanical MDP (p ≤ 0.001; ES: 0.7-1.7). Conversely, MDPm activities had greater magnitude, efforts, and relative duration in mechanical MDP (ES: 1.9-2.0). Similar constituent variable compositions were observed between peak periods. The MDPk comprised ~60 ± 16% moderate-speed running, ~30 ± 11% high-speed running, and ~14 ± 8% sprinting distances; MDPm included ~35 ± 23% and ~65 ± 23% high-intensity accelerations and decelerations. Positional differences revealed central defenders had lower, while full-backs and wide-midfielders had higher, MDP values. Findings from this study highlight the multidimensional characteristics of composite peak kinematic and mechanical periods in professional soccer. The differential contribution of low- and high-intensity locomotor activities during such periods, in terms of magnitude, number of efforts, and duration, should be considered by practitioners. Such insight can inform effective position-specific training prescription as well as bespoke recovery strategies based on the MDP observed during match play.","PeriodicalId":94191,"journal":{"name":"Research quarterly for exercise and sport","volume":" ","pages":"475-485"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143371414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Athletic activity for adults with disabilities requires adaptation to their physical and/or intellectual limitations. However, few adaptive, inclusive sports programs exist for power wheelchair users. Methods: A multi-method, qualitative case-study design was used to describe the experiences of athlete participation in powerful wheelchair adaptive team sports, specifically, soccer and volt hockey. Ten qualitative interviews with 5 players from the US and 5 from Scandinavia explored player experiences with adaptive team sports. The authors assessed overall health once using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Survey (WHOQOL-BREF). Subsequent heart rate data were collected from players while at rest and during adaptive team sport scrimmages. Results: Four qualitative themes described adults with disability experiences: Community; Personal gain; Competition; and Barriers. WHOQOL-BREF means averaged 60 points for all four domains, no significant differences existed between US and Scandinavian players. Heart rate data demonstrated a significant increase in heart rate during scrimmage compared to rest. Conclusion: Adaptive team sports provided participants with valuable social interaction, decreased isolation, and increased opportunities for mentorship and advocacy. Participants reported personal gain related to mental, emotional, and physical benefits not found elsewhere. Competition allowed participants to set both team and individual goals for improvement. Barriers to play concerned equipment, volunteers, and ableist attitudes.","PeriodicalId":94191,"journal":{"name":"Research quarterly for exercise and sport","volume":" ","pages":"607-616"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12310194/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143660133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
