The relationship between physical activity pre COVID-19 pandemic with mental health, depression, and anxiety in COVID-19 patients: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionIt seems that adequate physical activity as a part of a healthy lifestyle may have a beneficial effect on mental health during the current outbreak of covid-19. Therefore, it is suggested that we perform exercise training every day to preconditioning effects. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

The effect of six week virtual reality training on the improvement of functional balance in women with type-I osteoporosis: A preliminary study
ConclusionThe VRT and CMT improved the COP sway parameters during weight-shifting tasks. The VRT was more effective than CMT in increasing the ability to control weight-shifting and dynamic functional tasks in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. This approach in training has suitable potential to provide convenient error feedback learning. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

The effects of passive dehydration on motor unit firing rates of the vastus lateralis in males
ConclusionThe 9.8% decrease in strength during hypohydration might be caused by a decrease in the contractile force of the active muscle fibers rather than decreased activation of the MU pool. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Applied sport science of Gaelic football
AbstractThe current review focuses on Gaelic football literature providing an insight into the physical characteristics of players, the demands of match-play, the injury profile, and nutritional considerations within the game. Since the first review of Gaelic football in 2001, an increased understanding of match dynamics has taken place through the application of movement analysis technology. In recent years, the evolution of the application of sport science provisions within Gaelic football has increased. This has resulted in researchers attempting to bridge the gap between the scientific laboratory and the applied practi...

Fitness parameters in young football players are affected by training load and somatic-anthropometric variations
ConclusionsDuring puberty, variation in fitness parameters are affected by variations in somatic-anthropometric parameters and training load parameters differently between U14 and U17. Variations of body shape have more influence in U17, match load more influence in U14 and intensity of training influence only in U17. This study offers new interpretations about the effect of anthropometric and somatic parameters, as well as on training dose (volume, intensity and typology) on the variation of fitness parameters during puberty.

COVID-19 in older adult residents in nursing homes: factors associated with mortality and impact on functional capacity
ConclusionAlthough the null hypothesis analysis did not find significant differences between the groups, the effect size suggests that older adults residing in nursing homes who died from COVID-19 had lower handgrip strength. In the survivors, the isolation period after COVID-19 infection only negatively impacted the sit-to-stand performance. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Safety of beta-alanine supplementation in humans: a narrative review
AbstractCarnosine levels play a significant role in intracellular pH buffering during exercise. The limiting factor for muscle carnosine synthesis is the availability of β-alanine. Results from meta-analysis showed a significant positive effect of β-alanine supplementation on high-intensity exercise performance. Nonetheless, much less has been described about the safety of β-alanine. The available literature indicates no adverse events related to β-alanine usage ; side effects such as paresthesia may be observed if a large single high dose of β-alanine is taken, but the symptom can be attenuated either by using splitt...

Preliminary investigation of the effects of sitting with and without short active breaks on muscle stiffness assessed with shear-wave elastography
ConclusionsAlthough few statistically significant effects were detected, the trends in this preliminary trial suggest that prolonged sitting increases muscle stiffness and warrants further investigation of short active breaks with larger sample sizes. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Impact of exercise on brain neurochemicals: a comprehensive review
ConclusionsThe comprehension of exercise and its positive effect on neurochemicals in the improvement of neuro-cognition, neurogenesis and brain functions have been pooled in this study. Single bouts of exercise have been given equal pertinence as chronic exercise in development of a complete psychophysiological well-being. This review magnifies that aerobic exercise of moderate intensity when performed in a regular and precise way improves all three classes of neurochemicals and modulates mental health and wellness.

Effect of varying recovery intensities on power outputs during severe intensity intervals in trained cyclists during the Covid-19 pandemic
ConclusionReducing recovery intensities below 50% of FTP failed to enhance subsequent severe intensity intervals, suggesting that a lower limit for optimal W ′ reconstitution had been reached. As self-selected recoveries were seen to adapt to maintain the severe intensity power output as the session progressed, adopting such a strategy might be preferential for interval training sessions.
