Prevalence of sunscreen use and sunburn in Greek athletes: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Sunscreen utilization is notably insufficient among athletes, reflecting a limited awareness of the potential risks associated with sun exposure, even though they frequently suffer from sunburn. This heightened susceptibility places them at an increased risk of developing skin lesions. Initiating and disseminating awareness campaigns that specifically emphasize the importance of sunscreen use within the outdoor sports community is imperative.PMID:38385636 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.23.15559-9 (Source: Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness)

Changes in muscular strength following nine weeks of high- or low-load resistance training
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests training with lighter loads may be detrimental for long term isokinetic strength, whereas heavier loads could result in maintenance and greater increases in 1-RM despite performing repetitions to failure.PMID:38385637 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.24.15569-7 (Source: Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness)

The relationship between jump and sprint performance in preschool children
CONCLUSIONS: The findings showed that short-distance (i.e., 10 m) linear sprint performance, both velocity and momentum, in preschoolers may be predicted mainly using SLJ assessment. These findings underscore the importance of early motor skill development in shaping physical abilities and their potential relationship in preschool children.PMID:38385638 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.24.15628-9 (Source: Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness)

Is change of direction influenced by motor competencies? A possible response from a MOBAK-based study in Italian schoolchildren
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the biunivocal relationship between COD and BMC, and the need for physical education teachers and trainers to stimulate both, during growth.PMID:38385635 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.24.15329-7 (Source: Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness)

Muscular fitness profiles in relation to the response in body fat during school-based high-intensity intervention
CONCLUSIONS: The findings may help teachers assess the potential and indirect changes in muscle performance after employing a body weight intervention (based on the HIIT program). A more targeted approach to treating adolescents with excessive BF, in parallel with improving MF, can be individually tailored.PMID:38358366 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.24.15586-7 (Source: Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness)

Effects of 16-week circuit training on physical fitness parameters, pulmonary function, and quality of life in healthy women
CONCLUSIONS: CT decreased waist-hip ratio and body mass index, increased knee flexor/extensor strength and flexibility, and improved mental health. The 16-week CT may be an alternative approach to improve physical fitness parameters and mental health without any positive effects on body fat and pulmonary functions in healthy women.PMID:38358367 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.24.15707-6 (Source: Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness)
