Effects of medium and long distance running on heart damage markers in amateur runners: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression
ConclusionEndurance running races induce the release of cardiac damage markers that remain elevated for at least 24 h after the race. In addition, young male athletes with high body mass index who perform races combining long duration and moderate intensity (i.e., marathons) release the highest levels of cardiac damage markers. Physicians should take into consideration these results in the diagnosis and treatment of patients admitted to the hospital days after finishing an endurance running race.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

Land-walking vs. water-walking interventions in older adults: Effects on aerobic fitness
Conclusion: Our study supports current physical activity recommendations that 150min/week of moderate-intensity exercise produces improvements in fitness in previously sedentary older individuals. Also, LW and WW elicit similar improvements in fitness if conducted at the same relative intensities. Exercise-naïve older individuals can benefit from the lower impact forces and decreased risk from falls associated with WW without compromising improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

An evaluation of prevention initiatives by 53 national anti-doping organizations: Achievements and limitations
ConclusionResults show a discrepancy between NADOs’ self-report data and the implementation assessment. Even though the NADOs indicated otherwise, most of their education-based approaches did not address aspects of the VAS (e.g., resisting peer pressure); and only few programs were ongoing. Possible explanations might be found in the reported barriers (e.g., financial). Concrete guidelines defining multi-faceted, values-based education, and best-practice examples should be developed to indicate how to include all 5 approaches in prevention.Graphic abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

Estimates of voluntary activation in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Effects of type of stimulator, number of stimuli, and quantification technique
ConclusionThese results indicate that percent activation derived from the interpolated twitch technique provides superior estimates of voluntary activation than CAR derived from burst superimposition and is less affected by pulse train conditions or stimulators in individuals with ACLR.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

Reasons why older adults play sport: A systematic review
ConclusionOlder adults play sport for a range of health-related and social reasons which can contribute to the experience of successful ageing. Strategies to increase sport participation by older adults should focus on promoting these aspects.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

Impacts of Exercise Intervention on Various Diseases in Rats
ConclusionAs a model animal, rats not only provide a convenient resource for studying human diseases but also provide the possibility for exploring the molecular mechanism of exercise intervention in diseases. This review also aims to provide exercise intervention frameworks and optimal exercise dose recommendations for further human exercise intervention research.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

Profiling elite male 100-m sprint performance: The role of maximum velocity and relative acceleration
ConclusionCoaches and researchers are encouraged to utilise the 4 split time method proposed in the current study to assess several key race variables that describe a sprinter's performance capacities, which can be subsequently used to further inform training.

Exercise-mediated regulation of autophagy in the cardiovascular system
Publication date: Available online 15 October 2019Source: Journal of Sport and Health ScienceAuthor(s): Lijun Wang, Jiaqi Wang, Dragos Cretoiu, Guoping Li, Junjie XiaoAbstractCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of human death worldwide. Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved degradation pathway, which is a highly conserved cellular degradation process in which lysosomes decompose their own organelles and recycle the resulting macromolecules. Autophagy is critical in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis and function, and excessive or insufficient autophagy or autophagic flux can lead to cardiovascular disease. E...

Physical activity levels in American and Japanese men from the ERA-JUMP Study and associations with metabolic syndrome
ConclusionHigher total step counts/day had an important protective effect on MetS prevalence in both the Japanese and American cohorts, despite differences in PA levels and other MetS risk factors. The effect of steps/day (across all intensity levels) was much greater than domain-specific moderate-vigorous PA captured by questionnaire, suggesting the need for measurement tools that can best capture total movement when examining the effects of PA on MetS development.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)
