The paper provides a large-scale study into the motion characteristics of top class soccer players, during match play, according to playing position. Three hundred top-class outfield players were monitored 20 Spanish Premier League and 10 Champions games using computerized analysis system (Amisco Pro®, Nice, France). Total distance covered in five selected categories intensity, mean percentage time spent each activity analyzed Midfield significantly greater total (p < 0.0001) than groups...
The aim of this investigation was to examine physiological demands single match play in tennis.20 players performed 10 matches 50 min. Respiratory gas exchange measures (RGEM) and heart rates (HR) were measured using two portable systems. Lactate concentration determined after each game. average oxygen uptake (VO2) 270 games 29.1 +/- 5.6 mL.kg-1.min-1 (51.1 10.9% VO2max). Average VO2 for a game ranged from 10.4 47.8 (20.4 86.8% lactate (LA) 2.07 0.9 mmol.L-1 (ranging 0.7 5.2 mmol.L-1)....
Regular resistance exercise training and a balanced diet may counteract the age-related muscular decline on molecular level. The aim of this study was to investigate influence elastic band nutritional supplementation circulating muscle growth degradation factors, physical performance quality (MQ) institutionalized elderly. Within Vienna Active Ageing Study, 91 women aged 83.6 (65.0–92.2) years were randomly assigned one three intervention groups (RT, training; RTS, plus supplementation; CT,...
Physical exercise leads to temporary ischemia in muscles, followed by increased oxygen supply during recovery as a result of reperfusion. It is thought that the sudden influx causes calcium overload cells, leading an inflammatory cells into reperfused tissue. This generation reactive radicals and subsequent oxidative damage DNA, proteins, lipids. For example, oxidant production mitochondria muscles acute exercise, reoxygenation, was shown cause cellular (1). In addition, may transient muscle...
Purpose: Numerous investigations have reported changes in metabolic and cardiorespiratory responses associated with the menstrual cycle. We examined whether variables commonly used exercise testing are influenced by cycle phases. Methods: Nineteen eumenorrheic women performed two incremental tests to voluntary exhaustion on a ergometer during different phases of cycle: follicular phase (FP) luteal (LP). Our study were power output, V˙O2, HR, V˙E, RER, ventilatory equivalents oxygen...
Abstract Sansone, P, Tschan, H, Foster, C, and Tessitore, A. Monitoring training load perceived recovery in female basketball: Implications for design. J Strength Cond Res 34(10): 2929–2936, 2020—This study investigated the relationship between internal of semi-professional basketball players during competitive season. Eleven were monitored 14 weeks in-season phase. For each event (training game), data collected as follows: (a) Total Quality Recovery (TQR) score before (TQR pre ); (b)...

Acute effects of back squats on countermovement jump performance across multiple sets a contrast training protocol in resistance-trained men. J Strength Cond Res 33(4): 995-1000, 2019-This study was designed to evaluate the voluntary postactivation potentiation (PAP) moderate-intensity (MI) or high-intensity (HI) squat exercises (CMJ) protocol. Sixty male subjects (age, 23.3 ± 3.3 years; body mass, 86.0 13.9 kg; parallel...
This study aimed to evaluate the technical-tactical, perceptual and mental demands of basketball small-sided games (SSGs). Twelve male semi-professional players participated in four half-court 3vs3 SSGs characterized by different tactical tasks (offensive; defensive) training regimes (long-intermittent; short-intermittent). The were video-recorded perform notational analysis technical-tactical parameters. Ratings perceived exertion (RPE, CR-100 scale), effort (ME) e njoyment collected after...
The incidence and severity of football-related injuries has been found to differ strongly between professional leagues from different countries. aims this study were record the incidence, type in Kosovarian football players investigate relationship injury rates (IRs), players' age playing positions.Players' age, anthropometric characteristics positions, training match exposure as well occurrences monitored 11 teams (143 players) Kosovo's top division during 2013/14 season. exact type,...
Treadmill testing (TT) commonly used in endurance is often not sport-specific. Therefore a field test (FT) for tennis players was developed. The purpose 1) to compare metabolic and cardiorespiratory response between TT FT 2) assess stroke ratings during FT. In both tests ventilatory variables (VO2, VE, VT, Bf, VE x VO2(-1)), heart rate (HR), lactate (LA) were measured. For an "individual anaerobic threshold" (IAT) calculated. comparison of yielded significant differences response. LA...
High physical fitness levels in childhood and adolescence are associated with positive health-related outcomes later life. Albeit many researchers investigated rural-urban differences fitness, the of these studies inconsistent data on Kosovo widely missing. Thus, this study aims to examine anthropometric parameters 14 15 year old Kosovan adolescents living rural urban areas. Two schools from Pristina (mostly population) two surrounding villages district Deçan were selected. Anthropometric...
Abstract Defects in skeletal muscle energy metabolism are indicative of systemic disorders such as obesity or type 2 diabetes. Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 31 P-MRS), particularly dynamic P-MRS, provides a powerful tool for the non-invasive investigation muscular oxidative metabolism. The increase spectral and temporal resolution P-MRS at ultra high fields (i.e., 7T) uncovers new potential previously implemented techniques, e.g., saturation transfer (ST) highly resolved...

Myocellular ATP synthesis (fATP) associates with insulin sensitivity in first-degree relatives of subjects type 2 diabetes. Short-term endurance training can modify their fATP and sensitivity. This study examines the effects moderate long-term exercise using or resistance this cohort.A randomized, parallel-group trial tested 16 glucose-tolerant nonobese (8 group 8 group) before after 26 weeks training. Exercise performance was assessed from power output oxygen uptake (VO(2)) during...
Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) is a phenomenon which can improve power performance executed after previous conditioning activity. PAP usually evoked through heavy resistance or plyometric exercise. It has been suggested to refer as Postactivation Performance Enhancement (PAPE) when research field-based on explosive activities. To our best knowledge, no studies have investigated the effects of PAPE deceleration performance, key factor in sports involving change directions. Therefore, aim...
On Earth, physical activity plays a tremendous role to preserve and improve the physical, psychological, social well-being of people. The enjoyability, appreciation, variability exercises are fundamental factors for production lifestyle benefits. Currently, exercise countermeasures astronauts during long-duration missions focus more on physiological side, frequently overlooking relevant psychosocial one. Exergames form that have taken hold in last decades Earth has been widely accepted as...
