Without a doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic has had tremendous impact on global tourism for at least two reasons: (1) imposed systematic travel restrictions that discourage people from traveling even though they would like to; and (2) increased anxiety due to perceived risk of virus, causing change their typical behavior. This study aims explore role Covid-19 in shaping future More specifically, following general model vacation behavior behavior, we investigate how influences travelers’...
This study compared the effects of recreational football and high‐intensity interval training ( HIIT ) on body composition, muscular fitness, cardiorespiratory fitness in overweight obese children. Forty‐two overweight/obese males aged 11‐13 years [body mass index BMI >20.5 kg/m 2 ] were randomly assigned to a group (n = 14; 157.9 ± 5.8 cm; 63.7 12.6 kg), 163.8 9.4 71.5 10.5 or nontraining control 162.7 9.3 67.4 16.1 kg).

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a toxic compound that causes severe oxidative stress and inflammation in skeletal muscles, resulting structural damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired contractile function. While CD45 melatonin (MLT) are implicated immune modulation antioxidative defense, their precise roles mitigating CCl4-induced muscle damage remain incompletely understood, warranting further investigation. This study used 24 Wistar rats divided into four groups to evaluate the effects...

(1) Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effects high-intensity interval training (HIIT) implemented in physical education classes on adolescents’ motivation for exercise. (2) Methods: This involved 60 male adolescents (16.23 ± 0.6 years) recruited from a local high school who were randomly assigned either HIIT group or control (CG). Exercise Motivation Inventory-2 (EMI-2) questionnaire used assess how participation program influenced exercise among adolescents....
This study aimed to examine the effects of post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) on swim start and lower body power after different warm-up protocols. Ten male national-level swimmers performed three warm-ups: (i) a swim-specific (SW, control protocol); (ii) PAPE (an experimental (iii) SW followed by (SW + PAPE, an protocol). consisted performing series 5 drop jumps. A repeated-measures ANOVA showed significant differences between protocols in (F = 8.89; P < 0.001) countermovement...
Introduction The aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability My Jump 2 app for assessment interlimb jump asymmetry in young female basketball players.

Combat sports and martial arts are often associated with aggressiveness among the general public, although data on judo and/or seem to be unclear. This research aims compare athletes who have trained for a prolonged time (minimum 5 years) from various team sports, primarily regarding manifestation of aggression, but also personality traits, emotional intelligence, self-efficacy. Also, potential predictive value self-efficacy aggression within subsamples judokas was tested. The findings...
The purposes of this study were to determine: 1) morning-to-evening differences in physical performance with and without a ball; 2) associations between sleep outcomes (duration quality) handball players. Sixteen elite, male players (25.4 ± 5.8 yr, 94.0 7.4 kg, 193.5 7.5 cm) completed tests ball (a zig-zag test assessing closed-skill agility, linear sprints, countermovement (CMJ) squat jumps) sprints) the morning evening. In addition, quality quantity during night before testing obtained...
