Affectivity responses across different resistance training variables in older adults: a systematic review
In conclusion, our study emphasizes the importance of considering the load variable in resistance training for older adults. We found a preference for low-load protocols, linked to more positive emotional responses. Exercise programs to individual preferences may enhance the effectiveness of resistance training regimens in this demographic. (Source: Sport Sciences for Health)

A more thorough analysis of the countermovement jump demonstrates changes in neuromuscular performance during pre and early competitive season in elite futsal players
ConclusionIn conclusion, CMJ kinetic variables should be incorporated and analyzed alongside more standard measures (CMJ height) to monitor performance in elite futsal players, as changes of substantial magnitude were observed in phase-specific metrics during the pre-season and the initial stages of the competitive calendar.

Targeting exercise intensity and aerobic training to improve outcomes in Parkinson ’s disease
AbstractAerobic training is popular for people with Parkinson ’s disease (PD) given its potential to improve aerobic capacity, relieve symptoms, and to stabilise disease progression. Although current evidence supports some of the assertions surrounding this view, the effect of exercise intensity on PD is currently unclear. Reasons for this include inconsiste nt reporting of exercise intensity, training regimes based on general guidelines rather than individualised physiological markers, poor correspondence between intended exercise intensities and training zones, and lack of awareness of autonomic disturbance in PD and i...

The effect of anti-inflammatory properties of sumac powder (Rhus coriaria L.) along with ferrous sulfate on blood markers and oxidative stress of young athletic girls with non-anemic iron deficiency (NAID)
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the simultaneous consumption of sumac powder (RhusCoriaria L.) and ferrous sulfate for six weeks on hematologic indices such as ferritin, hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), inflammation (high sensitivity C-reactive protein), oxidative stress (TAC and MDA) and some physical fitness factors in teenage volleyball players with depleted iron stores (serum ferritin less than 40 ng/ml). In a semi-experimental study, 30 girls aged 15–18 years with three to five years of background in volleyball who were at the special level o...

The influence of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism and physical activity level on blood pressure and heart rate variability behavior
This study compared blood pressure (BP) and heart rate variability (HRV) values considering the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphisms and physical activity (PA) level. Participants were stratified according to their ACE polymorphism and PA level. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect polymorphisms and PA level was assessed by questionnaire. Participants had their BP measured by an oscillometer and the HRV rerded using a heart monitor. Participants grouped by polymorphism II showed higher values of root mean square successive difference when compared to individuals with DD polymorphism. “Highly ac...

Predictive performance models in marathon based on half-marathon, age group and pacing behavior
ConclusionThe present results suggest that even and negative pacing behavior and a better time in 21.1 km, in the previous weeks of the marathon, might accurately predict the MRT. At the same time, nomadic packing behavior was the one that reported the best performance. On the other hand, although the age group variable might partially explain the final performance, it should be included with caution in the final model because of differences in sample distribution, causing an overestimation or underestimation of the final time.
