Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1929-0295Endurance training results in diverse adaptations that lead to increased performance and health benefits. A commonly measured training response is the analysis of oxygen uptake kinetics, representing the demand of a determined load (speed/work) on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic systems, providing useful information for the prescription of constant load or interval-type aerobic exercise. There is evidence that during high-intensity aerobic exercise some interventions prescribe brief interval times (<1-min), which may lead to a dissociation between the load prescrib...

Epidemiology of the injuries sustained by elite Spanish under-18 and under-20 rugby players
This study examine the injuries suffered by players (n=166) of the Spanish national men’s under-18 and under-20 rugby teams between 2015 and 2017, and identifies the actions involved in their appearance. All injuries (total n=78) sustained during matches and training were recorded as recommended by World Rugby, and injury incidence rates per 1000 player-hours (ph) calculated for both types of activity. Injuries occurred more commonly during matches than during training (incidence 105.3 [95%CI 78.7-131.9] per 1000 [ph] of match play, vs. 1.16 [95%CI0.69-1.62] per 1000 ph of training), and most days absent per 1000 ph duri...

Reliability of a Submaximal Field Test in Wheelchair
Rugby
In conclusion the
submaximal field test showed moderate to excellent reliability for all measured
parameters. The observed fatigue seems to be not clinically relevant. The test
can be recommended to assess the effects of training or interventions. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart,

Retrograde Training: Effects on Lower Body Strength and
Power
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1796-7808Backward walking and running on positive grades (retrograde training) represents
a closed kinetic chain exercise used by rehabilitation specialists for
patellofemoral-related injuries. To date, no longitudinal studies exist to
support it use. This investigation examined the effects of retrograde training
on lower body strength and power in recreational athletes aged 18–50
years over 6 weeks. Thirty-seven subjects were divided into two groups. Group 1
performed retrograde training 3 days∙wk−1 using
treadmill ...

Both Hypoxia and Hypobaria Impair Baroreflex Sensitivity but through
Different Mechanisms
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1960-3407Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is a measure of cardiovagal baroreflex and is lower
in normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia compared to normobaric normoxia. The aim of
this study was to assess the effects of hypobaria on BRS in normoxia and
hypoxia. Continuous blood pressure and ventilation were recorded in eighteen
seated participants in normobaric normoxia (NNx), hypobaric normoxia (HNx),
normobaric hypoxia (NHx) and hypobaric hypoxia (HHx). Barometric pressure was
matched between NNx vs. NHx (723±4 mmHg) and HNx vs. HHx

Adding intermittent vibration to varied-intensity work intervals: no extra benefit
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1812-7600Varied-intensity work intervals have been shown to induce higher fractions of maximal oxygen uptake during high-intensity interval training compared with constant-intensity work intervals. We assessed whether varied-intensity work intervals combined with intermittent vibration could further increase cyclists’ fraction of maximal oxygen uptake to potentially optimise adaptive stimulus. Thirteen cyclists (V̇O2max: 69.7±7.1 ml·kg-1·min-1) underwent a performance assessment and two high-intensity interval training sessions. Both comprised six 5-minute varied-intensity work interva...

Effects of Minimalist Shoes on Plantar Intrinsic Foot Muscle Size and Strength: A Review
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1908-8867Minimalist shoes are proposed to prevent injury and enhance performance by strengthening intrinsic foot muscles, yet there is little consensus on the effectiveness of minimalist shoes in increasing their strength or size. This systematic review assesses using minimalist shoes as an intervention on changes in plantar intrinsic foot muscle size and strength. PubMed, CINHAL, Scopus, and SPORT Discus were systematically searched for articles between January 2000 to March 2022. Studies were included if they had an intervention of at least 2 weeks with a control group and examined the eff...

Characteristics predictive of word recall performance following adolescent concussion
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1941-5673Clinicians rely on objective concussion assessments which may be influenced by patient characteristics, creating difficulties in isolating the effect of concussion on patient function. The purpose of our study was to identify characteristics associated with performance on the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5th edition (SCAT5) 10-word recall test following adolescent concussion. We evaluated patients seen for care within 14 days of concussion (n=125; 15.2±1.6 years of age, range=11-18 years; 46% female; 6.9±3.4 days post-concussion). Patient demographic (age, sex, medical and con...

Association between self-reported overtraining syndrome and symptoms in high school track and field athletes
In conclusion, athletes with OTS-like symptoms may be prone to injuries and diseases. Hence, although OTS is difficult to diagnose, further attention should be paid to minimize OTS-related risks.

Altered Core Temperature and Salivary Melatonin in Athletes with a
Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1925-7531Sleep disturbances are common in athletes with a cervical spinal cord injury
(cSCI) and may be associated with circadian alterations. Therefore, the purpose
of this study was to compare physiological circadian outputs between athletes
with a cSCI and non-disabled controls (CON). Eight male wheelchair athletes with
a cSCI and eight male CON (30±4 and 30±6 yrs,
respectively) had their core body temperature (Tcore), skin
temperature (Tskin), and salivary melatonin measured during a
24 h period. In the cSCI grou...

Shoulder Internal Rotator Strength as Risk Factor for Shoulder Pain
in Volleyball Players
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1806-2303The aim of this study was to identify the intrinsic factors that could increase
risk of shoulder pain in adolescent volleyball players. Twenty-eight young male
volleyball players (between 14 and 18 years old) participated in this study.
Athletes were submitted to: isokinetic muscle strength assessment of shoulder
rotator muscles, ball service speed assessment, anterior and posterior drawer
test, apprehension test, groove sign and scapular dyskinesia test. Athletes were
followed for 16 weeks to monitor the presence of should...

Association of the CKM rs8111989 Polymorphism with Injury
Epidemiology in Football Players
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1945-8982The influence of the rs8111989 polymorphism in the muscle-specific creatine
kinase gene (CKM) on injury incidence is unknown. The aim was to
investigate CKM polymorphism on injury incidence in high-performance
football players. A cohort of 109 high-performance players was genotyped by
using saliva samples. Injury incidence was similar in players with the GG, GA,
and AA genotypes and did not modify incidence during training or match exposure
(p=0.583 and p=0.737 respectively). GG players had a higher
frequency of s...
