Exercise behavior, practice, injury, and symptoms of respiratory tract infection of 502 Brazilian adults during lockdown oscillations in two years (2021 –2022) of the COVID-19 pandemic
ConclusionAfter two years of the COVID-19 pandemic (2021 –2022), with periods of lockdown, there were low reports of injuries and pain symptoms after exercising on the return to physical exercise practices of running and strength training. However, the restrictions negatively affected the exercise behavior due to respiratory tract symptoms of COVID-19 a nd a reduction in training intensity, performed without any professional or technical supervision. The participants reported the use of a fabric or surgical mask for the prevention of COVID-19, and an increased feeling of anxiety. The reasons given for practicing physical...

Acute and chronic cardiovascular responses to concentric and eccentric exercise in older adults with knee osteoarthritis
ConclusionsThe repeated, progressive exposures of Concentric RT-induced blunted the hypertensive responses to acute exercise compared to Eccentric-RT. Among people with knee OA, Concentric-RT may confer strength benefits to manage OA and possibly reduce cardiovascular stress during exercise. (Source: BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Neurofeedback training and motor learning: the enhanced sensorimotor rhythm protocol is better or the suppressed  alpha or the suppressed mu?
AbstractA large number of previous studies have examined how different neurofeedback-based techniques may influence motor learning. However, only a few studies attempted to compare the effects of these different techniques on motor learning. Therefore, the present study attempts to examine the effects of neurofeedback training on motor learning in novice golfers, using three protocols, namely enhanced sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) at Cz, suppressed alpha waves at Fz, and suppressed mu waves at Cz. The participants were 64 adults (32 females; mean age  = 22.31 ± 2.25 years). The study consisted of a pretest stage (day ...

Physical activity patterns in type 1 diabetes in Spain: The SED1 study
ConclusionsThe Spanish T1D population performed PA in a higher frequency and intensity than the general population. A relationship between PA and glycemic control couldn ´t be shown. However, limitations of the study should be kept in mind to discard a long-term positive influence. (Source: BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Eating disorder risk in adolescent and adult female athletes: the role of body satisfaction, sport type, BMI, level of competition, and training background
ConclusionsThe study indicated that eating disorder risk in adolescent female athletes was related to sport type and body satisfaction. The findings showed that, in adolescent athletes, eating disorder risk was the most associated with practicing lean non-aesthetic sports. Coaches and athletes should be aware that eating disorder risk increases among individuals with a lower body image. (Source: BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Parental support for physical activity and children ’s physical activities: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that direct parental assistance for PA such as logistic support encourages children to engage in moderate-to-vigorous PA; in addition, parental use of community resources may encourage children to engage in moderate and light PA such as walking. Conversely, indirect and negative involvement such as modeling and limiting sedentary activities were not associated with children ’s PA. Therefore, logistic support may need to be strengthened to encourage moderate-to-vigorous and vigorous PA, which is important for children’s health.

Pre-exercise isomaltulose intake affects carbohydrate oxidation reduction during endurance exercise and maximal power output in the subsequent Wingate test
ConclusionCompared with SUC intake, ISO intake does not produce an abrupt decline in the percentage of CHO-derived EE during prolonged endurance exercise; it remains relatively high until the final exercise phase. Additionally, anaerobic power output at the end of the exercise, largely contributed by anaerobic glycolysis, was greater after ISO intake than after SUC intake.

Effects of whole-body vibration on sensorimotor deficits and brain plasticity among people with chronic ankle instability: a study protocol for a single-blind randomized controlled trial
DiscussionThis is the first trial to investigate the role of brain plasticity in sensorimotor changes brought by WBV for individuals with CAI. As plastic changes in the brain have been an increasingly important aspect in CAI, the results of the current study can provide insight into the treatment of CAI from the perspective of brain plasticity.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2300068972); registered on 02 March 2023.

A longitudinal follow-up of continuous laryngoscopy during exercise test scores in athletes irrespective of laryngeal obstruction, respiratory symptoms, and intervention
ConclusionsIn athletes with repeated testing, CLE scores remain mostly stable over 3 –24 months even with advice on breathing technique to those with EILO. However, there is some intraindividual variability in CLE scores over time.Trial registrationISRCTN, ISRCTN60543467, 2020/08/23, retrospectively registered, ISRCTN – ISRCTN60543467: Investigating conditions causing breathlessness in athletes.

Asymmetries of foot strike patterns during running in high-level female and male soccer players
ConclusionFSP of soccer players are asymmetric at slower running speed, but symmetry increases with increasing speed. Future studies should consider that FSP are non-stationary and influenced by running speed but also differ between legs. (Source: BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Epidemiology of injuries and illnesses in elite wheelchair basketball players over a whole season – a prospective cohort study
ConclusionsCharacteristics and frequency of injuries and illnesses during wheelchair basketball season differed from those during major wheelchair basketball tournaments. The high proportion of overuse injuries and the higher injury rates in women should be regarded in the development of individualized prevention measures. Since results from previous studies during major tournaments are only partially comparable to wheelchair basketball league play, further studies should follow.

Impact of high intensity interval exercise with and without heat stress on cardiovascular and aerobic performance: a pilot study
ConclusionsThe addition of acute heat stress to HIIE elicited additive adaptations in only cardiovascular function compared to HIIE alone in active young adults in temperate conditions, thus providing evidence for its effectiveness as a strategy to amplify exercise-induced cardiovascular adaptations.

The effectiveness of non-surgical interventions in athletes with groin pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsThe qualitative review showed that PPTs plus ET and ET seem to have positive effects on pain intensity and hip ROM. The quantitative analysis found very low certainty of evidence proposing a positive effect in pain intensity for ET interventions based on hip muscles stretching, compared to PPT combined with ET, in the short-term.
