Effects of dynamic Japanese drumming performance on autonomic nervous system and immune function in a traditional performing arts group
Introduction: There are various types of performing arts, but there is the so-called "comprehensive sports art" that combines artistic elements with athletic and sporting elements. An example is the internationally well-known Japanese drumming performance that is accompanied with an intense exercise in which the performer skillfully moves his or her upper and lower limbs on the drum using a variety of drumsticks. In this regard, Japanese drum (wadaiko) players, like athletes, undergo resistance and endurance training on a daily basis in order to be able to perform well.

A systematic literature review and meta-analysis of the effect of physical interventions on the intrinsic foot muscles
Introduction: The intrinsic foot muscles are important contributors to foot function. Smaller and weaker intrinsic foot muscles have been reported in individuals with plantar heel pain, hallux valgus and diabetes. Identifying interventions that improve intrinsic foot muscle size and strength may improve management of these conditions. This systematic review evaluated the effect of physical interventions on the intrinsic foot muscles. (Source: Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport)

Effects of 10 months of training on salivary mitochondrial DNA copy number in adolescent female volleyball players
Introduction: For adolescent athletes who play sports that consist of intermittent exercise, such as volleyball and basketball, monitoring physical condition is an essential requirement from the perspective of performance improvement and injury prevention. If non-invasive methods using saliva can be utilized, it would be possible to rapidly check the conditioning status of each athlete. Particularly, previous studies have shown that increased physical fitness levels improve mitochondrial function, most notably by increasing mitochondrial DNA copy number.

The effect of match location and travel modality on physical performance in A-League association football matches
Introduction: Previous literature has examined the effect of match location (home vs away) on physical performance in association football matches; however, conflicting findings suggest that further contextual factors need to be considered. Categorising all away matches in a catch-all group may hide nuances in the effect of travel on physical performance. This is particularly pertinent in the Australian A-League, where away matches can range from road travel to cross-continent flights made days prior to the match.

Effects of aerobic capacity on DNA telomere length in adolescent cross-country skiers
Introduction: Previous studies have suggested that enhanced aerobic capacity based on endurance training may increase mitochondrial DNA copy number. Similarly, it has been reported that there appear to be a close relationship between cardiorespiratory function and DNA telomere length in healthy adults. However, the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and DNA telomere length in adolescent athletes remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobic capacity on DNA telomere length in adolescent cross-country skiers. (Source: Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport)

Breaststroker ’s knee – thinking posterolaterally
Introduction: “Breaststroker’s knee”, a prevalent overuse condition in breaststroke and ‘eggbeater’ kicking athletes is traditionally attributed to tension injury of anteromedial structures. This case describes a Breaststrokers’ knee presentation with symptoms instead attributed to a posterolateral os teochondral lesion as a result of tibiofemoral compression. Kick kinematics provide rationale for posterolateral structure injury, however, its incidence is unknown. The purpose of this case report is to increase awareness of posterolateral compression as a potential contributing factor in Breaststr oker’s knee....

Development and External Validation of the KOOS-ACL for Young Active Patients with ACL Tears
Introduction: The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcomes Score (KOOS) is a widely used outcome measure for assessing patients of all ages with a variety of knee conditions. The relevance and interpretability of the KOOS for young active patients with ACL injuries has been questioned. Further, the KOOS does not have adequate structural validity for use in this specific population. Therefore, the purpose of these studies was to develop a short form, condition-specific version of the KOOS appropriate for high functioning ACL patients: the KOOS-ACL.

The effect of tele-yoga on physical fitness and mental health of irritable bowel syndrome during the covid-19 pandemic
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a group of symptoms manifesting as a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder. Patients experience abdominal pain, discomfort, and bloating, often relieved with defecation. IBS is often associated with a host of secondary comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, headaches, and fatigue. There was very limited literature investigating the influence of exercise on IBS. Therefore, we propose to investigate the influence of Tele-Yoga on IBS patients during the COVID-19 period. (Source: Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport)

Embodying experiences of the Tidda Talk program through body mapping: methodological processes and key considerations
Introduction: Principles of equity, collaboration, and mutual respect underly participatory research, yet a minimal amount of this research extends these principles to research methodology. The co-design and co-ownership of research methods are essential for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to reflect culturally significant ways of knowing, being and doing. This presentation describes the collaborative process of tailoring the emerging art-based research method of body mapping for participants of the Tidda Talk program, an integrated physical activity and psychosocial program for young Aboriginal and Torre...

Prescriptive considerations and outcomes of High-Intensity Multimodal Training:
Introduction: High-intensity exercise that combines both aerobic and resistance training stimuli into a single time efficient exercise session is of great interest in the community. Previous literature has described this method of training using various terms such as High-Intensity Functional Training, bodyweight High-Intensity Interval Training, circuit training, resistance circuit training and CrossFit ®. More recently, the term High-Intensity Multimodal Training (HIMT) has been introduced to more broadly capture all styles of combined aerobic, resistance and/ or bodyweight training performed at a high intensity.

Does ankle inversion and eversion peak torque correlate to vertical jump scores in women college athletes?
Introduction: The ankle joint has been considered a contributing factor for vertical jump performance (Panoutsakopoulos et al., 2021). Ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion have influenced static balance control, showing the greatest influence on vertical movement (Kim& Kim, 2018). However, there is little research done on ankle inversion and eversion peak torque of the ankle (Hartsell& Spaulding, 1999). Female athletes tend to land more valgus (Arundale et al., 2020), which means eversion of the ankle, which could correlate to how high they can jump based upon force measurements of ankle inversion and eversion.
