Accuracy of a Clinical Applicable Method for Prediction of
VO2max Using Seismocardiography
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2004-4669Cardiorespiratory fitness measured as ˙VO2max is considered an
important variable in the risk prediction of cardiovascular disease and
all-cause mortality. Non-exercise ˙VO2max prediction models
are applicable, but lack accuracy. Here a model for the prediction of
˙VO2max using seismocardiography (SCG) was investigated.
97 healthy participants (18–65 yrs., 51 females) underwent
measurement of SCG at rest in the supine position combined with demographic data
to predict ˙VO2max before performing a graded e...

Predicting Running Performance and Adaptations from Intervals at
Maximal Sustainable Effort
This study examined the predictive quality of intervals performed at maximal
sustainable effort to predict 3-km and 10-km running times. In addition, changes
in interval performance and associated changes in running performance were
investigated. Either 6-week (10-km group, n=29) or 2-week (3-km group,
n=16) interval training periods were performed by recreational runners.
A linear model was created for both groups based on the running speed of the
first 6×3-min interval session and the test run of the preceding week
(T1). The accuracy of the model was ...

Asymptomatic Bone Marrow Edema in Weight-bearing Bones in Athletes
and Military Trainees: A Systematic Literature Review
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2013-2226Asymptomatic bone marrow edema (aBME) is a non-specific radiographic finding
often found in athletes. Although aBME may represent the body's
physiological response to training load, the etiology, MRI characteristics, and
natural history of aBME remain unknown. To better characterize aBME in the lower
extremities of military trainees and athletes. A systematic literature review in
accordance with PRISMA guidelines was performed to identify primary research
articles reporting on aBME in the lower extremities of athletes and m...

Constructing a Diagnosis Model and Visualizing the Risk Relationship
between Biomarkers and Overuse Injuries in Well-trained
Wrestlers
In conclusion, a predictive model based on biomarkers (cortisol, CRP, and CK)
predicted the overuse injuries risk of well-trained wrestlers. High levels of
these three biomarkers were associated with a higher risk of overuse injuries,
and a J-shaped relationship was observed between them. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart,

Vertical and Leg Stiffness Modeling During Running: Effect of Speed
and Incline
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2044-4805A spring mass model is often used to describe human running, allowing to
understand the concept of elastic energy storage and restitution. The stiffness
of the spring is a key parameter and different methods have been developed to
estimate both the vertical and the leg stiffness components. Nevertheless, the
validity and the range of application of these models are still debated. The aim
of the present study was to compare three methods (i. e., Temporal,
Kinetic and Kinematic-Kinetic) of stiffness determination. Twenty-ni...

The Anabolic Effect of Fenugreek: A Systematic Review with
Meta-analysis
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2048-5925The use of plant steroids to improve physical health and performance is becoming
increasingly popular. One of these plant steroids is diosgenin, which is mainly
available in fenugreek. As a result, some studies have been conducted to improve
physical health. Fenugreek extracts are also becoming increasingly popular in
the context of athletic performance. Based on these assumptions, a systematic
review with meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the promoting effects of
fenugreek on strength performance, body composition, a...

Peripheral Arterial Stiffness is Associated with Maximal Oxygen
Uptake in Athletes
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2053-7613Increased central arterial stiffness is associated with decreased maximal oxygen
uptake (V̇O2max). Endurance exercise training improves
arterial function throughout the whole body, but the relationship between
central and peripheral arterial stiffness and V̇O2max is
unknown. The present study investigated the relationship between central and
peripheral arterial stiffness and V̇O2max in
endurance-trained athletes. Twenty-one young male endurance-trained athletes and
12 sedentary controls were included in this st...

Predictors of Ball Velocity in the Sitting Volleyball Serve: A Causal
Analysis
This study explored the performance of the Sitting Volleyball serve by
investigating the causal factors associated with ball velocity. Thirty-seven
athletes underwent anthropometry and strength assessment and performed ten
successful maximal effort serves. Ball velocity was measured using a sports
radar gun. The hip, shoulder, elbow and wrist angles at the instant of ball
impact as well as the height of ball impact were estimated through
two-dimensional motion analysis. The causal relationships between variables were
described through a linear Structural...

Muscle Hypertrophy Responses to Changes in Training Volume: A
Retrospective Analysis
This study assessed associations between changes in the weekly number of sets
performed and the percentage change in muscle thickness of the biceps
(MTBB) and triceps (MTTB) brachii muscles. Through a
retrospective analysis, sixty-eight resistance-trained subjects that
participated in previous studies had their previous training volumes analyzed
and compared to the volume imposed during each individual study. The
relationship between variables was determined through Spearman
correlation and a k-cluster analysis was performed to subdivide the participan...

Estrogen-related Receptor Signaling in Skeletal Muscle
Fitness
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-2035-8192Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that can alter its metabolic and
contractile features, as well as regenerative potential in response to exercise
and other conditions. Multiple signaling factors including metabolites, kinases,
receptors, and transcriptional factors have been studied in the regulation of
skeletal muscle plasticity. Recently, estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) have
emerged as a critical transcriptional hub in control of skeletal muscle
homeostasis. ERRα and ERRγ – the two highly expressed
