Plyometric training (PT) is a widely used method to improve muscle ability generate explosive power. This study aimed determine whether preadolescent boys exhibit plyometric trainability or not. Forty-five children were randomly assigned either control (CG, N = 21, 10.6 ± 0.5 years; participated only in regular soccer practice) group (PTG, 24, 0.6 practice plus exercise protocol). Both groups trained for 12 weeks during the in-season period. The PT exercises (forward hopping, lateral...
Basketball incorporates intense eccentric muscle activity that induces microtrauma and an inflammatory response. This study investigated time-dependent performance responses during a weekly microcycle after basketball match. Twenty elite-standard players underwent trial comprised match followed by 6-day simulated in-season microcycle. The was preceded control condition did not have Blood sampling tests of maximal-intensity exercise damage occurred before each condition, immediately the daily...
This randomized controlled trial examined body mass, composition, energy balance and performance responses of previously sedentary overweight/obese women to a circuit-type integrated neuromuscular training program with alternative modalities. Forty-nine healthy overweight or class I obese females (36.4±4.4 yrs) were randomly assigned either control (N = 21), 14) training-detraining group. In weeks 1-20, the groups trained three times/week using 10-12 whole-body exercises progressively...
The purpose of this study was to determine the recovery rate football skill performance following resistance exercise moderate or high intensity. Ten elite players participated in three different trials: control, low-intensity (4 sets, 8-10 repetitions/set, 65-70% 1 repetition maximum [1RM]) and high-intensity 4-6 85-90% 1RM) a counterbalanced manner. In each experimental condition, participants were evaluated pre, post, at 24, 48, 72 h post time points. Football assessed through...
We examined the temporal changes of isokinetic strength performance knee flexor (KF) and extensor (KE) after a football match. Players were randomly assigned to control (N = 14, participated only in measurements practices) or an experimental group 20, also match). Participants trained daily during two days Match training overload was monitored with GPS devices. Venous blood sampled muscle damage assessed pre-match, post-match at 12h, 36h 60h post-match. Isometric as well eccentric concentric...

In-season integrative neuromuscular strength training improves performance of early-adolescent soccer athletes. J Strength Cond Res 34(2): 516–526, 2020—Although forms (INT) are used extensively for injury prevention treatment, no information exists about its effects on adolescent We investigated the an...
Clinical trials are evaluating the efficacy of inhibitors myostatin pathway in neuromuscular and metabolic diseases. Activins follistatins major regulators pathway, but their physiology relation to anthropometric variables response exercise remains be fully elucidated humans. We investigated whether concentrations circulating activin A, B, follistatin, follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3) associated with they affected by exercise. Activin FSTL3 were measured (1) 80 subjects divided according age...
It is unclear how high-intensity, interval-type nontraditional exercise training programmes can be feasible and effective options for inactive obese individuals. This randomized controlled trial investigated the hypothesis that a 10-month neuromuscular programme (DoIT) with adjunct portable modalities, performed in small-group setting, induces improvements psychological well-being, subjective vitality behavioural regulations women. Associations between adherence, physiological indicators...
This study examined the dose-response effects of a 1-year hybrid-type, multicomponent interval training programme (DoIT) on various musculoskeletal fitness parameters in inactive overweight and obese adults gym setting. Ninety-seven middle-aged (44.8 ± 5.2 years) individuals with overweight/obesity (31.2 5.7 kg/m2) (66% female) were randomly assigned to following groups: (i) no-intervention control (CON, n = 29), (ii) DoIT performed once weekly (DoIT-1, 24), (iii) twice (DoIT-2, 23) (iv)...
The effects of protein supplementation on performance recovery and inflammatory responses during a simulated one-week in-season microcycle with two games (G1, G2) performed three days apart were examined. Twenty football players participated in trials, receiving either milk concentrate (1.15 0.26 g/kg game training days, respectively) (PRO) or an energy-matched placebo (1.37 0.31 carbohydrate (PLA) according to randomized, repeated-measures, crossover, double-blind design. Each trial...
Background Soccer-specific speed-endurance training induces short-term neuromuscular fatigue and performance deterioration over a 72-h recovery period, associated with elevated markers of exercise-induced muscle damage. We compared the effects whey vs. soy protein supplementation on field activity, performance, damage redox responses following in soccer players.Methods Ten well-trained, male players completed three trials, receiving (WP), (SP) or an isoenergetic placebo (PL; maltodextrin)...
The present study examined skeletal muscle metabolism and changes in repeated sprint performance during match play for n = 20 competitive elite women outfield players. We obtained musculus vastus lateralis biopsies blood samples before, after, following intense periods each half of a friendly match, along with 5 × 30-meter tests movement pattern analyses (10-Hz S5 Global Positioning System [GPS]). Muscle glycogen decreased by 39% 42% after an period the second respectively, compared to...
Abstract The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is the main cellular proteolytic responsible for degradation of normal and abnormal (e.g. oxidised) proteins. Under catabolic conditions characterised by chronic inflammation, UPS activated resulting in proteolysis, muscle wasting impaired function. Milk proteins provide sulphur-containing amino acid have been proposed to affect inflammation. However, response aseptic inflammation protein supplementation largely unknown. aim this study was...
Obesity is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates low levels of quality life among adults globally. It critical to examine evidence-based practices for developing lifestyle behavioral changes such as physical movement structured exercise training. The DoIT protocol, a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program, effectively reduces body mass, alters energy balance, improves performance obese adherence rate. This study aims determine the dose-response effects protocol on...
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a 5-month high-intensity hybrid-type neuromuscular training program with nontraditional implements on cardiometabolic health, redox status, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in inactive overweight obese women. Forty-nine female participants obesity (age: 36.4 ± 4.4 years; BMI: 29.1 2.9 kg/m
