The purpose of this study was to test the relationships between training workload (WL) parameters with variations in anaerobic power and change direction (COD) under-16 soccer players. Twenty-three elite players under 16 years were daily monitored for their WL across 20 weeks during competition season. Additionally, assessed three times anthropometric, body composition, COD, power. A correlational analysis mean differences assessments accumulated conducted. Moreover, a regression executed...
The purposes of this study were (i) to analyze the variations in maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2m ax ), heart rate (HR max at rest, acceleration, speed, agility, anaerobic sprint test (RAST) peak power (RPP), RAST minimum power, average (RAP), and fatigue index (RFI) during competitive season, using maturation status accumulated training load as covariates, (ii) describe differences between responders non-responders relation baseline levels. Twenty-three elite players from same team...
This study aimed to investigate the effects of 6-week small-sided games training (SSGs) vs. high-intensity interval (HIIT) on psychophysiological and performance responses, technical skills young basketball players. Thirty-two male players (age: 14.5 ± 0.5 years age) were randomly divided into SSGs group (n = 16) HIIT methods thrice per week for 6 weeks. The in performed two 5–8 min 2 with rest periods, while 12–18 runs at intensities (90 95%) related velocity obtained 30-15 intermittent...
The aim of this study was two-fold: (i) analyze the within-group physical fitness adaptations promoted by a detraining period (4 weeks) followed an intervention using small-sided games (SSGs) or running-based high intensity interval training (HIIT); and (ii) between-group differences aiming to identify effectiveness each on youth male soccer players.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects small-sided games (SSGs) and running-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on body composition physical fitness youth female soccer players.This followed a randomized parallel design. Twenty-four players (age: 18.63 ± 2.36 years) were randomly allocated two groups (SSG, n = 12; HIIT, 12). intervention had duration eight weeks, consisting three sessions per week. Players assessed twice (pre- post-intervention) for anthropometrics,...
Abstract The rise of β-lactam resistance among pathogenic bacteria, due to the horizontal transfer plasmid-encoded β-lactamases, is a current global health crisis. Importantly, hydrolyzation by not only protects producing cells but also sensitive neighboring cooperatively. Yet, how such cooperative traits affect plasmid transmission and maintenance currently poorly understood. Here we experimentally show that KPC-2 β-lactamase expression extracellular activity were higher when encoded on...
The purposes of this study were to (1) analyze the variations acute and chronic training load well-being measures during 3 periods season (early, mid, end) (2) test associations between weekly different season.Thirteen professional volleyball players from a team competing in Portuguese Volleyball First Division (age 31.0 [5.0] y) monitored an entire season. Weekly (wAL) (wCL), workload ratio (wACWL), monotony (wTM) calculated all weeks values muscle soreness (wDOMS), stress (wStress),...
To analyze young swimmers' performance regarding sex and skill level, 23 boys 26 girls (15.7 ± 0.8 14.5 years old, respectively) were assessed for anthropometry, flexibility, strength, drag, coordination, biomechanical variables. During a 50-m maximal front-crawl bout, seven aerial six underwater Qualisys cameras kinematics, load cell was used to measure drag (Tedea, United Kingdom) tethered swimming force. A multivariate analysis of variance test (p < .05) enabled us observe differences...
The aim of this study was two-fold: (i) analyze the weekly variations well-being and training/match intensity measures in youth soccer players, (ii) test relations between training outcomes. followed a descriptive case design. Twenty-seven under-17 male players were monitored for parameters over seventeen consecutive weeks. An adjusted version Hooper questionnaire used to monitor perceptive sleep quality, readiness, fatigue, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) early morning. CR-10 Borg’s...
This study aimed to: (i) analyze fat mass and physical fitness variations among age-groups playing positions, (ii) explore the relationship between in youth male soccer players. A total of 66 players from under-16, under-17, under-19 were tested. Body mass, skinfolds, countermovement jump (CMJ), single-leg triple hop (SLTH), bilateral (BTH), yo-yo intermittent recovery Level 2 (YYIR-2) assessed. two- one-way ANOVA conducted, effect size was measured. Interactions found skin folds mass. The...
This study aimed to analyse the impact of an 8-week core strength training (CST) programme in youth karate practitioners on endurance, agility, flexibility, sprinting, jumping, and kick performance. followed a randomized parallel design. Twenty-nine participants (age: 12.86 ± 0.81 years old; height: 152.55 10.37 cm; weight: 42.93 8.85 kg) were allocated CST (n = 16) performed thrice weekly or control group 13) only performing sport-specific (karate) training. Participants assessed three...
Adolescence is a key developmental period from health, physical and psychological perspective. In view of this, the present research aimed to establish relationship between emotional intelligence, Mediterranean diet adherence, BMI age. order address this aim, (a) an explanatory model developed intelligence its with age, (b) proposed structural examined via multi-group analysis as function whether students engage in more than three hours activity week. To end, quantitative, non-experimental...
