The impact of bias on developing healthy lifestyles, understanding if personal perspectives impact modeling and recommendations of diet and exercise by educators to their students
ConclusionFindings indicate (1) portrayal of healthy behaviors to students exist but expressed opinion that families have a greater influence than educators on healthy lifestyles, (2) there appears to be an unawareness of personal bias or expression of implicit bias toward behaviors projected to students, and (3) health/physical education and life science teachers may be able to act as a source of unbiased information to provide resources to a school site to aid in developing healthy lifestyles.

Relationship between maximal strength and hamstring-to-quadriceps ratios in balanced and unbalanced legs in futsal athletes
AbstractHamstring-to-quadriceps (H:Q) strength ratio has been used to estimate injury risk and readiness to return to sport. Previous studies have investigated if H:Q ratios are determined by the weakness of knee flexors (KF) or strength of knee extensors (KE) in soccer players. However, the results on H:Q ratio determinants are divergent. Moreover, studies with this proposal involving futsal athletes were not found. The present study aimed to verify: (a) the global correlation between KF (KFPT) and KE peak torque (KEPT) with conventional and functional H:Q ratios, (b) the correlation according to balanced and unbalanced H...

The ability to produce a timely explosive force may affect loading rate at landing
ConclusionsParticipants with increased RFD at the countdown signal had a lower loading rate at landing. Our results suggest that the ability to produce a timely explosive force may be a determinant of safe landing ability. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

High intensity interval training is more effective than moderate intensity continuous training in ameliorating the influence of acute noise stress on coagulation factors
ConclusionHIIT is more appropriate exercise training mode compared to MCT because its adaptation reduced PT and PTT in response to noise stress. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Comparing Y-balance test between chronic low back pain and healthy people; a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsAnterior reaching was the least sensitive measure of the YBT in individuals with chronic LBP. The reach distance and composite score of the YBT were affected only in the minimally physically active individuals regardless of whether the dominant or non-dominant side was tested.RegistrationThe protocol of this review and meta-analysis was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022314475). Available from:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022314475. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Influence of painful overloading using stair ascending in quadriceps neuromuscular function of women with patellofemoral pain syndrome
ConclusionThe onset of activation of the VM in relation to the VL does not change in the presence of pain. However, the VM/VL activation ratio is altered in the presence of pain in women with PFP. Therefore, interventions that target anticipation of VM onset activation should be discouraged for women with PFP. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Pacing and heat stress independently and differentially effect elite marathon performance
ConclusionThere are large individual effects of pacing and smaller but meaningful effects of heat stress on elite marathon race times holding constant an individual ’s age, sex, and previous personal best time. Reduced pacing variations lowers the impact of heat stress to a small degree. Even pacing and tolerating varying levels of heat stress are key for the best elite marathon finish times.

Relationship between physical exercise and COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2): systematic review
ConclusionsIt is possible to conclude that physical exercise can be a component for the treatment of COVID-19. In addition, it could help to reduce the symptoms and severity of COVID-19, and may be considered as an adjunct to drug therapy in patients contaminated with SARS-CoV-2.

Perception of the prognostic impact of physical activity among cancer survivors: a narrative review
ConclusionsThis narrative review revealed that most reports showed that cancer survivors have a poor perception of the prognostic impact of PA. In addition, the lack of advice from HCPs may also be contributing to the lack of perception among cancer survivors. Therefore, to increase the amount of PA among cancer survivors, it is necessary to improve the perception of the prognostic impact of PA in both cancer survivors and HCPs.

The influence of playing standard on the positional running performance profiles during hurling match-play
ConclusionThe current data are the first to show differences in positional running performance between standards of play within hurling. These normative data provide additional considerations for hurling coaches with respect to transitioning players from sub-elite to elite level of play. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)
