Association between expiratory mouth pressure and abdominal muscle activity in healthy young males
ConclusionAll abdominal muscles contribute to forced expiration with a greater contribution of the OI and TrA than the RA and OE. Furthermore, the contribution of the TrA would be greater than that of the OI. (Source: European Journal of Applied Physiology)

Health and performance effects of 12  weeks of small-sided street football training compared to grass football training in habitually active young men
ConclusionSmall-sided street football training for 12  weeks with 1–2 weekly sessions led to improvements in submaximal exercise capacity only, whereas recreational grass football training confirmed previous positive effects on submaximal exercise capacity as well as cardiorespiratory fitness.

Prediction of instantaneous perceived effort during outdoor running using accelerometry and machine learning
AbstractThe rate of perceived effort (RPE) is a subjective scale widely used for defining training loads. However, the subjective nature of the metric might lead to an inaccurate representation of the imposed metabolic/mechanical exercise demands. Therefore, this study aimed to predict the rate of perceived exertions during running using biomechanical parameters extracted from a commercially available running smartwatch. Forty-three recreational runners performed a simulated 5-km race on a track, providing their RPE from a Borg scale (6 –20) every 400 m. Running distance, heart rate, foot contact time, cadence, stride le...

The acute influence of amateur boxing on dynamic cerebral autoregulation and cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide
ConclusionsA typical bout of amateur boxing (i.e., three rounds) can subtly alter cerebral pressure-flow dynamics, and the magnitude of this change may be related to head impact exposure. (Source: European Journal of Applied Physiology)

Recovery kinetics following sprint training: resisted versus unresisted sprints
ConclusionsUnresisted and resisted sprint-training induces prolonged reduction of muscle strength (24  h), and sprinting performance (72 h), associated with prolonged increase of DOMS and CK (72 h). (Source: European Journal of Applied Physiology)

Influence of the time of day in the effect of caffeine on maximal fat oxidation during exercise in women: a randomized, crossover, double-blind, and placebo-controlled study
ConclusionThe intake of 3  mg/kg of caffeine increased the use of fat as a fuel during exercise independently of the time-of-day in trained women.Trial registrationThe study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov with the following ID: NCT05880186 by 15 May 2023.

Changes in cardiovascular health and white matter integrity with aerobic exercise, cognitive and combined training in physically inactive healthy late-middle-aged adults: the “Projecte Moviment” randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsWe found changes in anthropometric measures that suggest initial benefits on cardiovascular health after only 12  weeks of AE and changes in WM microstructure in the CCT and COMB groups. These results add evidence of the clinical relevance of lifestyle interventions and the potential benefits when combining them.Clinical Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT031123900.

Acute effect of static stretching on non-muscular tissue stiffness and joint flexibility: a comparative study between older and young men
ConclusionThe reduction in sciatic nerve stiffness by stretching was noticeable in older men and led to improved joint flexibility. These findings may provide insight into tissue adaptation by stretching and may be used to explore effective exercises for improving joint flexibility in older adults.

Effects of 12 weeks of neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the quadriceps muscles on the function and physio-biochemical traits in functionally fit female nursing-home residents aged 75  + years: a pilot study
ConclusionTwelve weeks of NMES treatment improved participants ’ functional capacity and inflammatory, bone metabolism, and cardiovascular traits. The ES group participants’ performance on functional tests was best predicted by hemodynamic parameters. (Source: European Journal of Applied Physiology)

The benefit of knowledge: postural response modulation by foreknowledge of equilibrium perturbation in an upper limb task
In conclusion, when subjects are suspended in the air and have to respond with WE, the prepared motor set includes anticipatory postural adjustments if KF velocity is known, and additional postural reactions if KF velocity is unknown. (Source: European Journal of Applied Physiology)
