Comparison of intermittent pneumatic compression and active recovery after sub-maximal aerobic exercise in collegiate soccer players: in relation with heart rate variability and heart rate recovery
ConclusionIPC is a better recovery tool in terms of HRR, BP and RPE than active recovery while no such difference was found in the time- and frequency-domain measures of HRV. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Test –retest reliability of the EUROFIT test battery: a review
ConclusionOverall, the findings of this review suggest that the EUROFIT can be used as a reliable battery of tests to assess physical fitness in research and practice. Still, as there were only six included studies, more research in different populations is needed. Future studies are also required to explore the influence of variables (e.g., familiarization with the exercise tests) that may impact the reliability of the EUROFIT test battery.

Short-term effects of isometric exercise with local and systemic hypoxia and normoxia on fatigue and muscle function in trained men
ConclusionFrom the results it can be concluded that performing isometric resistance activity with blood flow obstruction can exert further pressure on the muscle compared to performing the same activity with equal load, but without blood flow obstruction. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Effects of high- and moderate-intensity resistance training sessions on glycemia of insulin-treated and non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes mellitus individuals
ConclusionsA single acute RT-session reduces CG, regardless of intensity, in NIT individuals. In IT individuals, the RT-session did not induce an additional effect on CG. Moreover, participants with the highest pre-exercise CG levels were the most benefited ones by RT-session in reducing glycemia. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

The effect of high-intensity interval training and CoQ10 administration on hepatic CEACAM1 and PDGFA proteins in diet-induced obese rats
ConclusionEnhanced CEACAM1 and reduced PDGFA seems to have a contribution in HIIT-induced improvement of insulin resistance and fatty liver. However, any potential effects of CoQ10 in the liver tissue is less likely to be mediated by CEACAM1 and PDGFA proteins in obese rats. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

Rectus femoris activation is modified by training status and correlates with endurance performance in cycling
AbstractThe study aimed to compare the activity of low and fast-twitch muscle fibers of the prime mover muscles used in cycling between recreational cyclists with different training levels during a high-intensity exercise. Twelve male cyclists performed, on distinct days, a graded exercise test and two bouts of cycling at severe-intensity. The first bout was performed as familiarization and the second to monitor the muscle activation through surface electromyography (EMG) of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, and gluteus maximus. According to peak oxygen uptake\({(}\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{{{\text{2peak}}}} {)...

Effect of exhaustion on dynamic balance of professional padel players
AbstractPadel is an intermittent multidirectional racket sport that uses tennis ’ rules and its scoring system. The popularity of padel has seen exponential growth; becoming one of the most practiced sports in the world. Balance constitutes a central component of racquet sports competitive demands. The aim of this study was exploring the effect of an exhaustive exercise on dy namic balance in elite padel players. 34 first division padel players with national rankings (age: 31.6 ± 7.9 years, height: 181.1 cm ± 5.26 cm; body mass: 81.1 kg ± 9.95 kg) volunteered for this study. Subjects were first tested...

Need for resuming sports and physical activity for children and adolescents following COVID-19 infection
ConclusionsWhile there is no doubt that it will bring multiple benefits in terms of general health, returning to play sport should be gradual and preceded by an accurate physical examination in those young subjects previously affected by the coronavirus disease, especially when their heart and/or lungs and/or kidneys were affected.

Irisin pathways in hearts of Type 1 diabetic adult male rats following 6 weeks of moderate and high-volume aerobic exercise on a treadmill
ConclusionIrisin and UCP1 protein values increased due to HHEV in the heart of Type 1 diabetic rats, but PPAR- α values did not change; it shows that HHEV is suitable for the heart of Type 1 diabetic rats in terms of the benefits of the pathway of irisin. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)
