Background We examined effects of trait self‐control, constructs from social cognition theories, and intentions on health behaviours. Trait self‐control was expected to predict behaviour indirectly through theory intentions. also predicted moderate the intention–behaviour relationship. Methods Proposed were tested in six datasets for ten health‐related behaviours studies adopting prospective designs. Participants ( N = 3,249) completed measures theories at an initial time point self‐reported...

Smartphone apps for heart rate variability (HRV) measurement have been extensively developed in the last decade. However, ultra-short-term HRV recordings taken by wearable devices not examined.The aims of this study were following: (1) to compare validity and reliability short-term time-domain frequency-domain variables a novel smartphone app, Pulse Express Pro (PEP), (2) determine agreement assessments between an electrocardiogram (ECG) PEP.In total, 60 healthy adults recruited participate...
Complex training (CT) is a strength intervention performed by completing all the sets of resistance exercise followed series high-velocity/plyometric exercise/s. The purpose this novel study was to conduct meta-analysis on effect CT vertical jump (VJ) performance. Five electronic databases were searched using terms related and VJ. Studies needed include randomized trials comparing with traditional (RT)/plyometric (PLYO)/control (CON) lasting ≥ 4 weeks VJ as dependent variable. Seven studies...
The aim of the present study was to compare effects different warm-up interventions on jump, sprint and agility performance in collegiate soccer players. Twenty-one healthy male college players (age: 20.14 ± 1.65 years; body height: 179.9 8.34 cm; mass: 74.4 13.0 kg; % fat: 9.45 4.8) participated study. Subjects underwent four randomized protocols separated by at least 48 hours. schemes were: 1. no conditioning contraction protocol (NCC); 2. dynamic stretching (DS); 3. prolonged intermittent...
The application of whole body vibration (WBV) as a warm-up scheme has been receiving an increasing interest among practitioners.The aim this study was to determine the effect loaded and unloaded WBV on countermovement jump, speed agility.Twenty-one healthy male college football players (age: 20.14 ± 1.65 years; height: 179.9 8.34 cm; mass: 74.4 13.0 kg; % fat: 9.45 4.8) underwent randomized controlled trials that involved standing in half squat position (ST), ST with 30% bodyweight (ST +...
ABSTRACT THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE WAS TO PERFORM A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS ON EFFECT CONTRAST TRAINING (CT) VERTICAL JUMP PERFORMANCE. THIRTEEN 83 STUDIES WERE INCLUDED FOR REVIEW, WHEREAS 10 USED META-ANALYSIS. REVEALED GREATER COUNTERMOVEMENT (CMJ) GAINS IN CT THAN RESISTANCE (RT) (EFFECT SIZE [ES] = 1.30; CONFIDENCE INTERVAL [CI] 0.31–2.30). SIMILARLY, DISPLAYED HIGHER CMJ CONTROL (ES 1.46; CI 0.46–2.46). CONCLUSION, SHOWED IMPROVEMENT COMPARED WITH RT CON. VIDEO ARTICLE,...
This study examined the effect of a 10-week programme strength training with elastic band (STEB) on fitness components in young female handball players. Twenty-six players (aged 15.8 ± 0.2 years) from same club participated this study. They were randomly assigned between experimental (EG; n = 13) and control (CG; groups. The EG performed STEB, replacing some handball-specific drills regular training. CG followed (i.e., mainly technical-tactical drills, small sided simulated games, injury...
Exercise and sport practitioners frequently utilize rating of perceived exertion (RPE) to evaluate the players’ psychophysiological strains during training sessions. The subjective physical level sports has been shown have a reciprocal relationship with wellness status periodic or competitive seasons. However, between exertions short-term overseas camps (OTCs) not extensively investigated. This study aimed examine responses [session-RPE (sRPE), monotony, strain] (fatigue, sleep, delayed...
Acute slow breathing may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular regulation by affecting hemodynamics and the autonomic nervous system. Whether at resonance frequency (RF), a rate that maximizes heart oscillations, induces differential to of is unknown. We compared acute either RF + 1 breaths per minute muscle sympathetic activity (MSNA) baroreflex function. Ten healthy men underwent MSNA, blood pressure (BP), (HR) recordings while for 10 min their spontaneous (SB) followed both randomly...

There seems to be a scarcity in literature investigating day-to-day warm-up (WU) variations. We investigated variation of psychophysiological responses during Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) 11+ and dynamic (DWU) exercises. Twenty-one male collegiate soccer players were randomly assigned the FIFA (n = 10) or DWU group 11). Each performed WU protocol on three different occasions with 48-h interval between. The inter-day heart rate (HR), time distribution HR zones,...
