Tennis can be a mentally challenging sport, and emotional intelligence (EI) contributes significantly to an athlete’s psychological well-being. Thus, this study investigated the effects of 6 weeks combined Change Direction (CoD) reactive agility (RA) intervention program on in pubertal tennis players. A total 28 youth players, aged 11 14 years, were randomly assigned experimental group (EXP-G, n = 15, 13 boys [age 13.34 ± 0.98 maturity offset (MO) −0.19 0.96], 2 girls 12.77 0.23 MO 0.78...
While there is ample evidence on the effects of neuromuscular training (NMT) and stretching selected measures physical fitness in young athletes, less known mental well-being effects. Here, we aimed to examine NMT versus (ST) performed during warm-up active control (CG) highly-trained male pubertal soccer players. A secondary aim was investigate associations between training-induced changes well-being. Forty-six participants aged 12.2 ± 0.6 years were randomly allocated NMT, ST, or CG. The...
Strength training using high and lower load such as contrast (CST) seems to be beneficial it addresses larger adaptive reserves in youth athletes. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigate effects CST on dynamic balance (composite score during test (CS-YBT)), one repetition maximum lower-limb back squat (1RM), jumping performance (single-leg hop (SLH) or countermovement jump height (CMJ)), asymmetry (predicted from single-leg between two legs [ILA]) elite male volleyball players....
To examine the effects of combined positive verbal encouragement and general technical guidelines on psychophysiological parameters in pupils during a small-sided handball passing game. Twenty secondary school (age, 16 ± 1 years; body mass, 55.3 6.6 kg; height, 1.77 0.13 m; BMI, 22.6 2.2 kg m-1) performed games (2 × 10 min) with three conditions: game (1) instruction; (2) (3) without any instruction (control) which passes for each pupil set was measured together rate perceived exertion (RPE)...
Background: Although previous research in pediatric populations has reported performance enhancements following long-term plyometric training, the acute effects of exercises on measures balance, vertical jump, reactive strength, and leg stiffness remain unclear. Knowledge (i.e., maximal versus submaximal hurdle jumps) help to better plan program warm-up sessions before training or competition. Objectives: To determine vs. jump exercise protocols executed during one session young volleyball...
Background: High-intensity muscle actions have the potential to temporarily improve performance which has been denoted as postactivation enhancement. Objectives: This study determined acute effects of different stretch-shortening (fast vs. low) and strength (dynamic isometric) exercises executed during one training session on subsequent balance in youth weightlifters. Materials Methods: Sixteen male female young weightlifters, aged 11.3±0.6years, performed four exercise conditions randomized...
While there is ample evidence on the effects of single-mode aerobic and speed training physical fitness in soccer players, less known combined these exercise regimens psychological factors.This study aimed to compare with soccer-specific versus only performance during YOYO intermittent test level 1 (final velocity, total distance [TD], maximal oxygen consumption [VO2max]), repeated sprint ability (best, time [RSABT, RSATT], decrement [RSA dec]) somatic anxiety (SA), cognitive (CA),...
Resistance training (RT) can represent a challenging and stressful endeavour for those who participate in it. We aimed to investigate the acute effect of four types RT exercise [i.e., Concentric (CONC), Isometric (ISOM), Dynamic (DYN) Eccentric (ECC)] on psychological parameters (feeling scale: FS) perceived internal load (RPE) young elite weightlifters. The protocols were differentiated according contractile characteristics involved muscles comprised: (i) CONC: 3 sets hurdle jumps; (ii)...
