Assessment of lower extremity functional performance in young male volleyball athletes
ConclusionOverall, functional symmetries between the limbs indicate low risk of lower limbs injury; results can be explained by the short period of practice. However, YBT ’s composite score below the recommended values, suggests a neuromuscular training program. Finally, the weak correlations between WBLT and YBT indicate the necessity of performing both tests to have a more effective functional evaluation. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

The interaction effect of green tea consumption and exercise training on fat oxidation, body composition and blood lipids in humans: a review of the literature
ConclusionsShort-term consumption of GT may have positive metabolic effects during moderate-intensity exercise in inactive people or those who exercise recreationally. Likewise, a combination of moderate-intensity aerobic training and GT consumption for a minimum period of 8 to 10 weeks can increase FO during exercise in healthy individuals. Regular resistance training combined with GT consumption may have potential benefits in enhancing body composition, lowering triglyceride, and increasing high-density lipoprotein in sedentary obese/overweight people.

Evening chronotype predicts dropout of physical exercise: a prospective analysis
ConclusionOur results suggest that chronotype is another variable to be considered in future studies on promoting PAs in formal environments. Likewise, the practice frequency during week 1 and duration of membership plan also deserve more attention in additional studies. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Contribution of the Craig ’s test to hip internal rotation among baseball players
ConclusionThis study shows that the Craig ’s test for high school baseball players is a predictor of HIF and HIE in the lead hip and trail hip. Since the Craig’s test results are the largest predictor of hip internal rotation, the soft tissues and Craig’s test need to be assessed among baseball players. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Can hip muscle strengthening interventions improve lower extremity kinematics among healthy subjects? A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionIt is difficult to make any definitive conclusions based on the results of this review and further research is needed. However, it should be considered that prescription hip muscle strengthening interventions alone maybe has a small effect on lower extremity kinematics in healthy subjects.

Influence of bout duration on exercise demands during 4v4 small-sided games in elite young football players
AbstractThe aim of this study was to compare the exercise demands between two intermittent small-sided games (SSGs) and their temporal changes throughout SSGs repetitions, while controlling for total exercise duration. Exercise demands were recorded using wearable 10-Hz global positioning system technology with a 100-Hz accelerometer embedded and heart rate (HR) monitors in eight U17 male professional football players (age = 16.3 ± 0.5 years old) during two 18-min 4v4 plus goalkeepers SSGs based on long bouts (LB; 3 × 6 min) and short bouts (SB; 6 × 3 min) separated for 2-min rest. Total duration was ...

Differences between boulderers and top rope climbers in the relationship between anxiety and disordered eating
ConclusionFindings showed a higher anxiety in boulderers but no greater measures of DE. It is possible that, through their experience in a high anxiety environment, boulderers have been able to develop effective coping strategies that have a protective effect against DE.

Athlete and practitioner prevalence, practices, and perceptions of passive heating in sport
This study aimed to establish the current prevalence, practices and perceptions of passive heating from athletes and sport science practitioners within sport using an online survey. Of the 343 respondents, 62% of athletes and 69% of practitioners reported using passive heating within their sport, with a greater prevalence amongst combat sport athletes or athletes competing at a higher standard (p < 0.05). The most commonly reported purpose of engaging in passive heating for athletes was recovery (66%), and for practitioners was heat acclimation (64%). Most athletes previously engaging in passive heating perceived i...
