Acute Responses to Repeated-Sprint Training in Hypoxia Combined With Whole-Body Cryotherapy: A Preliminary Study
CONCLUSIONS: Inclusion of WBC in an RSH session did not modify the power output but could improve prolonged performance in hypoxia by maintaining muscle oxygenation. A single RSH session did not deteriorate sleep quality. WBC, particularly when performed after RSH, positively influenced recovery perception and sleep.PMID:38171353 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0252 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Effects of 4 Different Velocity-Based Resistance-Training Programming Models on Physical Performance
CONCLUSIONS: These different programming models are all suitable for improving physical performance. LP and RP induce similar or greater gains in physical performance than UP and CP.PMID:38167650 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0313 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Addressing Circadian Disruptions in Visually Impaired Paralympic Athletes
CONCLUSIONS: VI athletes with light perception but reduced visual acuity or visual fields may still benefit from light interventions in managing jet lag. However, VI athletes lacking a conscious perception of light should rely on gradual shifts in behavioral factors, such as meal timing and exercise, to facilitate the entrainment of circadian rhythms to the destination time. Furthermore, interventions like melatonin supplementation may prove useful during and after travel. In addition, it is recommended that athlete guides adopt phase-forward or phase-back approaches to synchronize with the athlete, aiding in jet-lag manag...

Uniform Homeostatic Stress Through Individualized Interval Training Facilitates Homogeneous Adaptations Across Rowers With Different Profiles
CONCLUSIONS: Results demonstrated that expressing supramaximal interval intensity as a proportion of APR facilitates imposing the same degrees of homeostatic stress and leads to more homogeneous physiological adaptations in maximal variables when compared to prescribing a supramaximal HIIT intervention using WV˙O2max. However, lower interindividual variability would be seen in submaximal variables if HIIT interventions were prescribed using WV˙O2max.PMID:38168020 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0246 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Quantifying Offense and Defense Workloads in Professional Rugby Union
CONCLUSIONS: The increased locomotion and contact workloads in offensive periods and the differing physical requirements between positions and match outcomes for both types of play are novel findings that should aid practitioners in designing effective training.PMID:38171349 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0149 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Postactivation Performance Enhancement With Maximal Isometric Contraction on Power-Clean Performance Across Multiple Sets
CONCLUSION: Power-clean performance was potentiated after 1 minute of rest following 3 repetitions of MVIC across 3 sets. Furthermore, the ISO protocol did not result in greater perception of exertion. These results indicate that coaches may incorporate MVICs as the postactivation performance-enhancement stimulus during contrast training involving the power-clean exercise.PMID:38157842 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0383 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

The Inclusion of Preplanned and Random and Unanticipated/Unexpected Events During Strength Training Improves the Ability to Repeat High-Intensity Efforts Under Uncertainty
CONCLUSIONS: A 10-week unilateral FT improved RSA-RANDOM and COD ability in youth football players, so both preplanned and unexpected situations should be included on strength training.PMID:38157844 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0107 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

Repeated-Sprint Training With Blood-Flow Restriction Improves Repeated-Sprint Ability Similarly to Unrestricted Training at Reduced External Loads
CONCLUSIONS: Repeated-sprint ability, anaerobic capacity, leg lean mass, and peak aerobic power improved following 3 weeks of RST; however, the addition of BFR did not further enhance adaptations. Interestingly, comparable improvements were achieved between groups despite lower external loads experienced during RST sessions with BFR.PMID:38154016 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0321 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)

The Influence of a Multistage Mountain-Bike Race on Neuromuscular Activation and Synergies: A Case Study
CONCLUSIONS: In this case study, the increase in synergies suggests that, after the stage race, the athlete showed a more complex muscle-recruitment pattern. This may indicate that muscle coordination can change when muscle fatigue occurs; however, further research is needed to confirm these results in a larger sample.PMID:38134892 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0061 (Source: International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)
