Horizontal jump asymmetries are associated with reduced range of motion and vertical jump performance in female soccer players
ConclusionsAssessing inter-limb asymmetries through different methods can help scientists understand the specificity of their detrimental effects on soccer performance. Practitioners should be aware of these specificities as well as the magnitude and direction of the asymmetries when aiming to improve specific on-field skills.

Results of arthroscopic treatment for anteroinferior shoulder instability using a single anterior working portal using birdbeak
ConclusionIt has been observed that the repair technique applied using the “birdbeak” from the anterior single working portal is a successful treatment, and further studies are required due to the limited literature. (Source: BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Injuries and complaints in the Brazilian national volleyball male team: a case study
ConclusionsAlmost one-third of the athletes had injuries and almost all athletes reported complaints during the study period. Injuries and complaints were more prevalent in the knees. Complaints caused a high demand for the healthcare team. To manage risk of injuries for overload, specific injury prevention strategies are needed and should be included as an essential component of the training plan for elite volleyball players.

Agreement between questions about physical activity and sitting time, and device-based measures, used in Swedish targeted health dialogues in the context of primary health care
ConclusionThe PA interview form and the SED-GIH question on sitting time may be of value in targeted health dialogues in primary health care with the intention to support sedentary and insufficiently physically active persons in increasing their physical activity and limiting their sitting time. The questionnaires are easy to use and are more cost effective than device-based measures, especially regarding population-based interventions conducted in primary health care for thousands of participants such as targeted health dialogues.Clinical trial registrationNot applicable.

Comparison of postural sway in individuals with and without dynamic knee valgus
ConclusionThough several possible factors could contribute to the lack of significant differences in postural sway between individuals with and without DKV, such as measurement tool differences, variable sensitivity in postural stability tests, and differences in movement variability and test stance, we recommend analyzing postural sway in more functional tasks and with different methodological patterns in future studies. Such research could help develop targeted interventions for individuals with DKV and offer a better understanding of the relationship between postural control and DKV.

The effect of physical activity level on the severity of diastolic dysfunction
ConclusionsThis study showed an inverse relationship between physical activity level and DD of the LV in a sample of 228 individuals attending the Anesthesia Clinic, independent of potentially confounding variables.Therefore, due to lower rate of DD in patients who are physically active, we can expect lower occurrence rate of cardiovascular events during surgery.

Factors affecting nutritional knowledge, attitude, practices and dietary intake among national players in Kathmandu, Nepal: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionsHalf of the athletes ’ nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and practices score were satisfactory. Nutrient intake among athletes was suboptimal. Nutrition intervention programs are critical to improve nutritional knowledge, attitude and practice related to dietary intake among national athletes in Nepal.

The effects of hip- vs. knee-dominant hamstring exercise on biceps femoris morphology, strength, and sprint performance: a randomized intervention trial protocol
DiscussionDespite extensive research showing the benefits of the NHE on reducing hamstring strain injury risk, alternative exercises, such as the RDL, may offer similar or potentially even greater benefits. The findings of this study will aim to inform future researchers and practitioners investigating alternatives to the NHE, such as the RDL, in terms of their effectiveness in reducing rates of hamstring strain injury in larger scale prospective intervention studies.Trial RegistrationThe trial is prospectively registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05455346; July 15, 2022).

Comparing position sense and isokinetic strength of the muscles of elbow joint between aikidokas and non-athlete people
ConclusionsJPS was not impaired in Aikidokas in spite of the repetitive stress applied to the elbow joint during the performance of Aikido techniques. The lack of significant difference in isokinetic between Aikidokas and healthy non-athletes, and the absence of an acceptable correlation between IPS and muscle strength in Aikidokas, might be attributed to the soft nature of Aikido.

Perspectives of adults living with HIV attending the opportunistic infections clinic at Chitungwiza central hospital in Zimbabwe towards physical activity: a cross-sectional survey
ConclusionAdults living with HIV receiving HAART at Chitungwiza Central Hospital are highly active when compared to other studies done in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is also important to create interventions that promote physical activity considering what this population considers as perceived benefits and barriers to physical activity.

The potential benefits of assessing post-cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in aging: a narrative review
AbstractCardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is an important tool to measure the cardiopulmonary fitness of an individual and has been widely used in athletic, clinical and research settings. Most CPET focus on analyzing physiological responsesduring exercise. We contend that the post-CPET recovery physiological responses offer further diagnostic and prognostic information about the health of the cardiopulmonary and metabolic systems, especially when testing apparently healthy middle-aged and older adults. However, there are limited studies that investigate physiological responses during the post-CPET recovery, and even...

Upper body posture in Latin American dancers: a quantitative cross-sectional study comparing different postures
ConclusionsThis study is an approach to better understand the involved muscular structures in LD. Performing LD changes the static parameters of the upper body statics. Further projects are needed to analyse the field of dance even more thoroughly. (Source: BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation)
