Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2152-7426This research aimed to conduct a systematic review of para powerlifting strength
performance. The searches were conducted in three electronic databases: PubMed,
Scopus, and SPORTDiscus. Intervention studies related to para powerlifting
performance were included. The main information was extracted systematically,
based on criteria established by the authors. The data on study design, sample
size, participant’s characteristics (e. g. type of disability,
sex, age, body weight, and height), training experience, assessment t...

Well-trained Endurance Runners ’ Foot Contact Patterns:
Barefoot vs. Shod Condition
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2156-2553We aimed to investigate the initial foot contact and contact time in experienced
endurance runners at individualized speeds, in running shoes and barefoot.
Forty-eight participants (33.71±7.49 y,
70.94±8.65 kg, 175.07±7.03 cm, maximum aerobic
speed 18.41±1.54 km.h-1) were distributed
into three groups according to athletic performance: highly-trained runners,
middle-trained runners, and control group. An incremental running test until
exhaustion was performed for assessing maximum aerobic speed.

Autophagy and Exercise: Current Insights and Future Research
Directions
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2153-9258Autophagy is a cellular process by which proteins and organelles are degraded
inside the lysosome. Exercise is known to influence the regulation of autophagy
in skeletal muscle. However, as gold standard techniques to assess autophagy
flux in vivo are restricted to animal research, important gaps remain in
our understanding of how exercise influences autophagy activity in humans. Using
available datasets, we show how the gene expression profile of autophagy
receptors and ATG8 family members differ between human and mouse sk...

Impact of Environmental Factors on the ACL Injury Risk in
Recreational Alpine Skiing
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2134-3908In recreational alpine skiing, an ACL injury represents the most common injury.
Skiing is a complex activity where the skier interacts with the environment,
such as weather, snow conditions, temperature, etc. Thus, the aim of this study
was to evaluate the potential impact of environmental factors on ACL injury risk
in recreational alpine skiers. Among a cohort of 392 ACL-injured skiers and 392
uninjured controls matched for sex and skiing skill, environmental factors were
collected by questionnaire. Factors included weathe...

Players
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2123-2600The present study describes the time-loss injuries among female and male athletes
of the Spanish rink hockey league during the 2021/22 season.We performed a retrospective cohort study on time-loss injuries, whereby the
athlete is prevented from participating in a training session or game because of
the injury.A total of 463 athletes were included, with 326 (70.4%) senior male and
137 (29.6%) female. Two hundred and eighty-two time-loss injuries were
recorded, the most common form being muscle injuries (112 episodes,
39.7%),...

Temporal Trends in the Physical Fitness of Hong Kong Adolescents
Between 1998 and 2015
This study aimed to estimate temporal trends in
the physical fitness of Hong Kong adolescents aged 12–17 years between
1998 and 2015. Physical fitness (9-min run/walk, sit-ups, push-ups, and
sit-and-reach) and body size data in a total of 28,059 adolescents tested across
five population-representative surveys of Hong Kong secondary school pupils,
were reported. Temporal trends in means were estimated at the gender-age level
by best-fitting sample-weighted linear regression, with national trends
estimated by a post-stratified population-weighting proced...

Acute Effects of Different Conditioning Activities on Amateur Soccer
Players
In conclusion, the
combined conditioning activity and strength protocols can be chosen in warm-up
activities instead of static stretching (control condition) for improved
immediate sprint and jump abilities in amateur soccer players. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart,

Association between Lower Body Qualities and Change-of-Direction
Performance: A Meta-Analysis
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2117-9490The aim of the present study is to determine the associations between lower body
muscle strength qualities and change of direction (CoD) performance. Three
databases were used to perform a systematic literature search up to September
30, 2022. Based on the studies that met the inclusion criteria, we calculated
Pearson’s r correlation coefficient to examine the relationships
between muscle strength qualities and CoD performance. The quality of the
studies included was evaluated by the modified version of the Downs and Blac...

The Effect of Various Training Variables on Developing Muscle
Strength in Velocity-based Training: A Systematic Review and
Meta-analysis
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2095-8254Velocity-based training is an advanced auto-regulation method that uses objective
indices to dynamically regulate training loads. However, it is unclear currently
how to maximize muscle strength with appropriate velocity-based training
settings. To fill this gap, we conducted a series of dose-response and subgroup
meta-analyses to check the effects of training variables/parameters,
such as intensity, velocity loss, set, inter-set rest intervals, frequency,
period, and program, on muscle strength in velocity-based training. ...

Effects of Body Weight Support in Running on Achilles Tendon
Loading
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2113-1026Achilles tendon (AT) tendinopathy is common in runners. Repetitive AT loading may
play a role in etiology. Interventions such as body weight support (BWS) may
reduce loading on the AT in running. Examine how ground reaction force, AT
loading, foot strike, and cadence variables change in running with BWS.
Twenty-four healthy female runners free from injury were examined. Participants
ran on an instrumented treadmill with and without BWS using a harness-based
system at a standardized speed. The system has 4 elastic cords affi...

The Genetic Association with Athlete Status, Physical Performance,
and Injury Risk in Soccer
The objectives were to provide guidance on which genetic markers
could potentially be used as part of future practice in soccer and to provide
direction for future research in this area. The most compelling evidence
identified six genetic polymorphisms to be associated with soccer athlete status
(ACE I/D; ACTN3 rs1815739; AGT rs699;
MCT1 rs1049434; NOS3 rs2070744; PPARA rs4253778), six
with physical performance (ACTN3 rs1815739; AMPD1 rs17602729;
BDNF rs6265; COL2A1 rs2070739; COL5A1 rs12722;
NOS3 rs2070744), and seven with injury risk ...

Current Research on Vitamin D Supplementation against Sarcopenia: A
Review of Clinical Trials
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2116-9240Vitamin D plays an important role in skeletal muscle function and metabolism. The
aim of this review was A) to discuss the clinical evidence of vitamin D
supplementation either alone or combined with other strategies in the prevention
of sarcopenia in non-sarcopenic individuals and B) to critically discuss the
clinical evidence on the effect of vitamin D combined with other strategies on
muscle strength, mass and function in sarcopenic individuals without vitamin D
deficiency. Sparse clinical data on non-sarcopenic individu...

Acute Effects of Whole-Body Electrostimulation Combined with
Stretching on Lower Back Pain
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2080-2018Data from recent studies suggest that whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS)
is a time-effective and tailored intervention for chronic lower back pain
(CLBP). The aim of this non-randomized controlled study was to compare the
efficacy of a WB-EMS training and the association between WB-EMS specific
training with passive stretching (Well Back System, [WBS]) on CLBP. Forty
patients with CLBP, 43–81 years old, were assigned to one of the two
groups: WB-EMS (n=20) and WB-EMS+WBS (n=20). Both groups
completed 12 s...
