How limb dominance influences limb symmetry in ACL patients: effects on functional performance
ConclusionsGiven that limb dominance affects the LSI of muscle strength suggests that a differentiated interpretation of the LSI with respect to limb dominance should be considered for a safe return to sport. Monoarticular knee extensor strength and multiarticular hop test performance are interrelated and thus can show asymmetries which are not maladaptive but established during years of habituation or training.

Risk factors for shoulder injuries in handball: systematic review
ConclusionOverall, from all the risk factors evaluated, there was strong evidence that the weakness of the shoulder external rotator muscles and the female sex increase the probability of shoulder injury in handball athletes. Nevertheless, the evidence for the other risk factors was moderate due to the methodological quality and the limited number of studies.Protocol registration: PROSPERO ID: CRD42020138233.

Fractal correlation properties of HRV as a noninvasive biomarker to assess the physiological status of triathletes during simulated warm-up sessions at low exercise intensity: a pilot study
ConclusionsDespite inter-individual differences, DFA a1 offers potential to assess physiological status and guide athletes in their training as an easy-to-apply monitoring procedure during a standardized warm-up. A regular assessment including individual data history and statistical references for identification of response is recommended. Further data are necessary to confirm the results in a larger and more homogeneous population. (Source: BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Positional transversal release is effective as stretching on range of movement, performance and balance: a cross-over study
ConclusionsThe PTR is equally effective as SS and PNF in acutely increasing ROM of the lower limbs. However, the PTR results less time-consuming than SS and PNF. Performance and balance were unaffected by all the proposed interventions. (Source: BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation)
