Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1843-8778We aimed to determine the cardiovascular responses to two different set configuration resistance-exercise protocols during a knee extension composed of 40 repetitions with a 15RM load and a total resting time of 360 seconds. Twenty-four healthy sport science students randomly performed two sessions: (a) a long set configuration session (LSC: 4 sets of 10 repetitions with 2 min rest between sets) and (b) a short set configuration session (SSC: 8 sets of 5 repetitions with 51 s rest between sets). Before and during exercise, peak and mean values of heart rate, blood pressure, rate pre...

Plasma endogenous endotoxin core antibody response to exercise in endurance athletes.
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1827-3124The study aimed to investigate the impact of laboratory-controlled exertional and exertional-heat stress on concentrations of plasma endogenous endotoxin core antibody (EndoCAb). Forty-four (males n=26 and females n=18) endurance trained (V̇O2max 56.8min/kg/min) participants completed either: P1-2h high intensity interval running in 23°C ambient temperature (Tamb), P2-2h running at 60% V̇O2max in 35°C Tamb, or P3-3h running at 60% V̇O2max in 23°C Tamb. Blood samples were collected pre- and post-exercise to determine plasma IgM, IgA, and IgG concentrations. Overall resting pre-...

Systematic review of innovative diagnostic tests for chronic exertional compartment syndrome
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1866-5957The diagnosis chronic exertional compartment syndrome is traditionally linked to elevated intracompartmental pressures, although uncertainty regarding this diagnostic instrument is increasing. The aim of current review was to evaluate literature for alternative diagnostic tests. A search in line with PRISMA criteria was conducted. Studies evaluating diagnostic tests for chronic exertional compartment syndrome other than intracompartmental pressure measurements were included. Bias and quality of studies were evaluated using the Oxford Levels of Evidence and the QUADAS-2 instrument. A...

The Effects of Exercise Therapy Moderated by Sex in Rehabilitation of
COVID-19
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1866-6092Standardized exercise therapy programs in pulmonary rehabilitation have been
shown to improve physical performance and lung function parameters in post-acute
COVID-19 patients. However, it has not been investigated if these positive
effects are equally beneficial for both sexes. The purpose of this study was to
analyze outcomes of a pulmonary rehabilitation program with respect to sex
differences, in order to identify sex-specific pulmonary rehabilitation
requirements. Data of 233 post-acute COVID-19 patients (40.4% females...

Tracking the Fatigue Status after a Resistance Exercise through
Different Parameters
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1766-5945The purpose of the study was to investigate the sensitivity of back squat bar
velocity, isometric mid-thigh pull, heart rate variability parameters, perceived
recovery scale and step counts for tracking the muscular fatigue time-course
(reduction in countermovement jump [CMJ] performance) after strenuous acute
lower limb resistance exercise. Sixteen healthy men performed heart rate
variability assessment, perceived recovery scale, CMJ, back squat bar velocity,
isometric mid-thigh pull, and daily step counts before and 24 ...

Practices and Applications of Heart Rate Variability Monitoring in
Endurance Athletes
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1864-9726Heart rate variability reflects fluctuations in the changes in consecutive
heartbeats, providing insight into cardiac autonomic function and overall
physiological state. Endurance athletes typically demonstrate better cardiac
autonomic function than non-athletes, with lower resting heart rates and greater
variability. The availability and use of heart rate variability metrics has
increased in the broader population and may be particularly useful to endurance
athletes. The purpose of this review is to characterize current pr...

Lean Mass, Muscle Strength, and Muscle Quality in Retired Rugby
Players: The UK Rugby Health Project
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1854-0052Although athletes from sports such as rugby have greater lean mass and strength
during their playing careers, little is known about these characteristics
post-retirement. Therefore, this study investigated lean mass, strength, and
muscle quality in retired elite and amateur rugby players and non-contact
athletes. Retired elite male rugby players (n=42,
43.9±10.3 y; 101.1±13.4 kg;
1.82±0.09 m), amateur rugby players (n=46,
48.0±10.5 y; 98.9±16.6 kg;
1.79±0.07 m) and non-contact athletes ...

Physical and Technical Demands and Preparatory Strategies in Female
Field Collision Sports: A Scoping Review
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1839-6040Women’s participation in field collision sports is growing worldwide.
Scoping reviews provide an overview of scientific literature in a developing
area to support practitioners, policy, and research priorities. Our aim is to
explore published research and synthesise information on the physical and
technical demands and preparation strategies of female field collision sports.
We searched four databases and identified relevant published studies. Data were
extracted to form (1) a numerical analysis and (2) thematic summary. ...

Macrophage Depletion Attenuates Acute Renal Damage after Exhaustive
Exercise in Mice
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1827-3261Exhaustive exercise is known to induce acute renal damage. However, the precise
mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated the effects of macrophage depletion
on exhaustive exercise-induced acute renal damage. Male
C57BL/6 J mice were divided into four groups: sedentary with
control liposome (n=8), sedentary with clodronate liposome
(n=8), exhaustive exercise with control liposome (n=8), and
exhaustive exercise with clodronate liposome (n=8). Mice were treated
with clodronate liposomes or control liposomes intra...

Predictions of the Distance Running Performances of Female Runners
Using Different Tools
This study examined the validity and compared the precision and accuracy of a
distance-time linear model (DTLM), a power law and a nomogram to predict the
distance running performances of female runners. Official rankings of French
women (“senior” category: between 23 and 39 years old) for the
3000-m, 5000-m, and 10,000-m track-running events from 2005 to 2019 were
examined. Performances of runners who competed in the three distances during the
same year were noted (n=158). Mean values and standard deviation (SD) of
actual performances were 11.28±1....

Cardiovagal Modulation in Young and Older Male Adults Following Acute
Aerobic Exercise
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1843-7974We compared response patterns of cardiovagal modulation through heart-rate
variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) indices at 10 and
60 min after an acute bout of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE)
and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) in active young and older
adults. Twelve young (aged 20–40 years) and older (aged 57–76
years) healthy and active male adults performed an isocaloric acute bout of
HIIE, MICE, or a non-exercise condition in a randomized order. HRV and BRS
indices we...

Voluntary Increase of Minute Ventilation for Prevention of Acute
Mountain Sickness
This study evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of voluntary sustained
hyperventilation during rapid ascent to high altitude for the prevention of
acute mountain sickness (AMS). Study subjects (n=32) were volunteer
participants in a 2-day expedition to Mount Leoneras (4954 m), starting at 2800m
(base camp at 4120 m). Subjects were randomized to either: 1) an intervention
group using the voluntary hyperventilation (VH) technique targeting an end-tidal
CO2 (ETCO2)<20 mmHg; or 2) a group using
acetazolamide (AZ). During the expedition, respiratory ra...

Assessment of Fatigue and Recovery in Sport: Narrative
Review
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1834-7177Fatigue is a phenomenon associated with decreases in both physical and cognitive
performances and increases in injury occurrence. Competitive athletes are
required to complete demanding training programs with high workloads to elicit
the physiological and musculoskeletal adaptations plus skill acquisition
necessary for performance. High workloads, especially sudden rapid increases in
training loads, are associated with the occurrence of fatigue. At present, there
is limited evidence elucidating the underlying mechanisms ass...
