Why Should Athletes Brake Fast? Influence of Eccentric Velocity on Concentric Performance During Countermovement Jumps at Different Loads
CONCLUSIONS: Contrary to current practices, the current study highlights the need for performing the eccentric phase of loaded countermovement jumps, a common exercise performed by athletes for both training and evaluation purposes, as fast as possible. This allows not only a greater eccentric work but also improved concentric performance.PMID:38237568 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0273 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Combining Heat and Altitude Training to Enhance Temperate, Sea-Level Performance
CONCLUSIONS: Current research regarding combined heat and altitude interventions does not seem to indicate that it enhances temperate, sea-level performance to a greater extent than "traditional" (heat or hypoxia alone) training approaches. A major challenge in implementing combined-stressor approaches lies in the uncertainty surrounding the prescription of dosing regimens (ie, exercise and environmental stress). The potential benefits of conducting heat and altitude exposure sequentially (ie, one after the other) warrants further investigation.PMID:38237571 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0250 (Source: International Journal of S...

Individualizing Basketball-Specific Interval Training Using Anaerobic Speed Reserve: Effects on Physiological and Hormonal Adaptations
CONCLUSIONS: Supramaximal HIIT performed at Δ%20ASR resulted in more uniform physiological adaptations than HIIT interventions prescribed using VIFT or MAS. Although hormonal changes do not follow this approach, all the approaches induced an anabolic effect.PMID:38237576 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0379 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Effects of In-Exercise Carbohydrate Supplementation on Prolonged High-Intensity Exercise Performance in Oral Contraceptive Users
CONCLUSION: CHO depletion during ACT negatively influenced TT performance and emotional well-being when compared with SUG. Irrespective of OC pill phase, CHO supplementation should be prioritized to sustain performance and improve postexercise recovery-stress balance.PMID:38237580 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0143 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Effects of Hypoxia Severity on Muscle Oxygenation Kinetics Using Statistical Parametric Mapping During Repeated Treadmill Sprints
CONCLUSIONS: The application of SPM demonstrated that only SH reduced muscle oxygenation levels during the late portion of the passive (recovery) phase and not the active (sprint) phase during repeated treadmill sprints. These findings underscore the usefulness of SPM for assessing muscle oxygenation differences due to hypoxic exposure and the importance of the duration of the between-sprints recovery period.PMID:38215729 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0324 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Effects of High-Intensity Inspiratory Muscle Warm-Up on High-Intensity Exercise Performance and Muscle Oxygenation
CONCLUSIONS: Given that oxyhemoglobin is an index of local oxygen supply, the results of this study suggest that high-intensity IMW increases the oxygen supply to active limbs. It may also reflect a reduction in RPE in the leg. In addition, high-intensity IMW may improve exercise performance.PMID:38215734 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0163 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Training Regimen of an Elite Ultramarathon Runner: A Case Study of What Led Up to the 24-Hour World-Record Run
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that training for ultramarathon races should include high-volume running at varied paces and intensity with cross-training to avoid injuries. We hope that this evidence helps athletes understand how to prepare for these ultraendurance events.PMID:38215736 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0182 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Variability of External Load Measures During Soccer Match Play: Influence of Player Fitness or Pacing?
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that players with relatively lower intermittent running capacity might show lower variability during matches, as evidenced by smaller reductions in high-intensity actions during the final 15 minutes. We attribute these observations to players' possessing better pacing strategies.PMID:38198797 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0243 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Effect of Wetsuit Use on Body Temperature and Swimming Performance During Training in the Pool: Recommendations for Open-Water Swimming Training With Wetsuits
CONCLUSION: Wetsuit use during pool training increases Tcore and decreases swimming performance. Although wearing wetsuits in training situations is important for familiarization, for the safety of the swimmers, it is recommended that they remove their wetsuit if they feel too hot.PMID:38194956 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2022-0222 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Effect of the  Fran CrossFit Workout on Oxygen Uptake Kinetics, Energetics, and Postexercise Muscle Function in Trained CrossFitters
CONCLUSIONS: The Fran unbroken workout is a high-intensity effort associated with an elevated metabolic response. This pattern of energy response highlights the primary contribution of aerobic energy metabolism, even during short and very intense CrossFit workouts, and that recovery can take >24 hours due to cumulative fatigue.PMID:38194958 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0201 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)
