Energy availability and RED-S risk assessment among Kho-Kho players in India
ConclusionThe male Kho-Kho players showed a prevalence of low EA that can be due to higher training loads and unintentional under-eating, not related to an eating disorder. The players also exhibited higher RED-S risk outcomes; however, it was irrespective of low EA. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Patterns of school environment that matter for physical activity engagement among Brazilian adolescents
ConclusionThe findings reinforce the role of the school environment within PA and reveal a complex association, as different patterns of the school environment may favor specific PA domains more than others. The promotion of PA must consider the multiple layers of the school environment to enhance PA practice across all domains. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

A proposal to identify the maximal metabolic steady state by muscle oxygenation and VO2max levels in trained cyclists
ConclusionA new indicator has been provided for trained cyclists, < 27% SmO2 as a cut-off to define the MMSS Zone. This is the intensity for which the athlete can sustain 1 h of exercise under quasi-steady state conditions without fatiguing. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Health effects of outdoor water sports in chronic disease: a scoping review
ConclusionsVery low to low quality evidence from a limited set of pilot studies seems to suggest beneficial effects of outdoor water sports for chronic disease populations. However, such preliminary findings need to be replicated through large, high-quality RCTs to be conducted in target populations. Avenues of development, scoping directions and translational perspectives for this specific research field are proposed and discussed. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Eccentric and concentric contraction of multifidus lumborum and longissimus muscles during flexion –relaxation test using discrete wavelet transform
ConclusionFor both paravertebral muscles analyzed, discrete wavelet decomposition suggests that during the flexion –relaxation test there is an ECC contraction characterized by low-frequency bands compared with the CON phase characterized by medium- and higher-frequency bands both paravertebral muscles analyzed. The spectral characteristics might be a useful physiological neuromuscular reference to the pathoph ysiology adaptations of the paravertebral muscle contraction. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)
