Influence of Amputation on Kinetic Chain Musculature Activity During Basic and Modified Core Exercises
CONCLUSIONS: Amputation caused muscle activation asymmetry and 2 activation patterns. Modifications by enhancing proximal stability and adjusting distal loading effectively reduced the asymmetry of muscle activation. Coaches and clinicians can use these results to tailor exercises for athletes with disabilities in training and rehabilitation.PMID:38508161 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0215 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Absence of Monotony and Strain Effects on Referees' Physical Performance During International Basketball Federation World Cup Basketball Competition
CONCLUSIONS: The environmental stressors experienced by senior-level athletes (World Cup) differ from those encountered by younger athletes (World Cup Under 19). Further investigation is required to ascertain the potential effects of competition monotony and strain on decision-making processes and the overall quality of refereeing.PMID:38508177 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0199 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Investigating the Relevance of Maximal Speed and Acceleration in Varsity-Level Female Ice Hockey Players
CONCLUSIONS: Although skating speed may be advantageous in specific game situations, our results suggest that players spend little time at near-maximal speeds while accelerating frequently during games. This warrants further investigation of direction changes, skating transitions, repeated sprints, and other determinant variables potentially related to on-ice success and the implementation of training strategies to improve repeated acceleration or qualities beyond maximal skating speed.PMID:38503279 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0417 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Countermovement-Jump and Pull-Up Performance Before and After a Swimming Race in Preparatory and Competitive Phases of a Swimming Season
CONCLUSION: Swimming performance and CMJ performance improved as the season progressed, although these improvements were not directly correlated. PU performance did not appear to be sensitive to training or race-induced fatigue, in contrast to CMJ, in this group of male swimmers.PMID:38458179 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0329 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

The Quantification of Physical Performance and Internal Training Load in Youth Male Soccer Players During Preseason
CONCLUSION: The current study highlights the relationship between training load, physical assessments, and playing time. Coaches and practitioners can use physical test data at the start of preseason as an indication of players that report higher sRPE, perceived fatigue, and reduced well-being across preseason, supporting decisions around individualized training prescriptions.PMID:38437841 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0312 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)
