Body Fat Percentage
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1778-4359Softball pitchers with a high body-fat percentage (bf%) can often be
successful, despite the heightened risk of injury associated with high
bf%. Given the importance of propulsion during pitching, those with high
bf% may have an advantage performance-wise. Therefore, the purpose of
this study was to examine the differences in ground reaction force (GRF)
development between two groups of pitchers: those with a high-fat percentage
(≥32 bf%) and a healthy-fat percentage (<32
bf%). Thirty-two female high-school s...

Can a Short-term Daily Oral Administration of Propolis Improve Muscle
Fatigue and Recovery?
This study investigated the effect of 1-week oral administration of propolis on
muscle fatigue and recovery after performing a fatigue task (total 100 maximal
voluntary concentric knee extension repetitions). In this placebo-controlled,
double-blind study, 18 young men consumed a formulation with high Brazilian
green propolis dose (H-BGP), a formulation with low Brazilian green propolis
dose, or a placebo, for 1 week before performing the fatigue task (an interval
between each intervention: 1–2 weeks). Maximal voluntary contraction
torque, central fati...

Modelling Changes in Bone and Body Composition Over a Season in Elite
Male Footballers
This study investigated the change in bone and body composition characteristics of elite football players and recreationally
active control participants across the course of a season. Fortysix participants (20 footballers and 26 recreationally active
controls) were assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry
and peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography for a range
of bone and body composition characteristics at four points
over the course of a competitive season. Multilevel modelling
was used to examine changes. Footballers had higher characteristics than cont...

Carbon Plate Shoes Improve Metabolic Power and Performance in
Recreational Runners
This study compared metabolic power (MP) and time trial (TT) running performance
between Adidas Adizero Adios (AAA) and Nike VaporFly 4% (NVP).
Thirty-seven runners completed three laboratory sessions and two field sessions
(n=30). After familiarization (visit 1), participants completed eight
6-min treadmill running bouts (four with each shoe, counterbalanced) at their
preferred pace, and MP was assessed using indirect calorimetry (visits 2 and 3).
During visits 4 and 5, participants completed two outdoor TTs
(~3.5 km) in NVP and AAA (counterbalanced)....

Effect of Cardiorespiratory Fitness on Verifying VO2max in
Middle-aged and Older Adults
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1735-3407We investigated the effect of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on the probability
of achieving the verification criterion to confirm that VO2max was
obtained in a sample of middle-aged to older adults. Data from twelve men and
nine women (60.7±8.5 years, VO2max:
34.8±9.4 mL/kg/min) were used for analysis.
Participants had their VO2max measured via a maximal graded exercise
test and confirmed using a verification bout on a cycle ergometer. Logistic
regression was used to evaluate the effect of CRF (VO2max) on th...

Cardiac Rehabilitation Improves Endothelial Function in Coronary
Artery Disease Patients
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1717-1798Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation may be an effective non-pharmacological
intervention for improving endothelial function in coronary artery disease
patients. Therefore, this systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to (a)
estimate the training-induced effect on endothelial and vascular smooth muscle
function, assessed by flow-mediated dilation and nitroglycerin-mediated
dilation, respectively, in coronary artery disease patients; and to (b) study
the influence of potential trial-level variables (i. e. study and

Effect of Exercise Training on Arterial Stiffness in Overweight or
Obese Populations
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1795-2940The purpose was to analyze the effects of exercise training (ET) on arterial
stiffness in all-age overweight or obese individuals. Sixty-one trials were
included with ET improving flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulse wave velocity
(PWV), and intima-media thickness (IMT). In the subgroup analysis: (i) ET
improved FMD in overweight or obese children and adolescents with a large effect
size (SMD=0.83, 95% CI 0.42–1.25). PWV was decreased
after ET regardless of age. IMT was decreased by ET in participants younger than
...

Effects of a Multicomponent Exercise Training Program on Balance
Following Bariatric Surgery
In conclusion, a multicomponent
exercise intervention program improves some balance parameters in patients with
severe obesity following BS and therefore should be part of post-BS follow-up
care as a potential strategy to reduce falls and associated injuries. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart,

Exercise to Lower Postprandial Lipemia: Why, When, What and
How
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1810-5118We review recent findings on the ability of exercise to lower postprandial
lipemia (PPL). Specifically, we answer why exercise is important in lowering
PPL, when it is most effective to exercise to achieve this, what the preferred
exercise is and how exercise reduces PPL. Most findings confirm the power of
exercise to lower PPL, which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular
disease. Exercise is most effective when performed on the day preceding a high-
or moderate-fat meal. This effect lasts up to approximately two...

Technology and Sleep Quality: Friend or Foe? Let the Exergames Come
into Play!
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1756-5005Low sleep quality is associated with many health problems. Although physical
exercise is a nonpharmacological tool that positively impacts sleep quality,
there are many barriers (lack of energy, lack of motivation, lack of skills,
lack of resources, and fear of injury) for people to adopt an active lifestyle.
Exergames are an alternative way of physical exercise that are funnier and more
attractive than traditional forms of physical exercise and, therefore, has the
potential to increase adherence to a physical exercise prog...

Current Insights into Cellular Senescence and Myotoxicity Induced by
Doxorubicin: The Role of Exercise and Growth Factors
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1797-7622Doxorubicin is an anti-neoplasmic drug that prevents DNA replication but induces
senescence and cellular toxicity. Intensive research has focused on strategies
to alleviate the doxorubicin-induced skeletal myotoxicity. The aim of the
present review is to critically discuss the relevant scientific evidence about
the role of exercise and growth factor administration and offer novel insights
about newly developed-tools to combat the adverse drug reactions of doxorubicin
treatment on skeletal muscle. In the first part, we discu...
