Opioids are increasingly used in the treatment of chronic non-malignant pain. The aim this open-label, randomised, parallel group study was to compare analgesia and side-effects two commonly opioid analgesics, tramadol dihydrocodeine, long-acting formulations 60 osteoarthritis patients with strong pain despite NSAID's. Dose titration based on effect performed respective immediate release solutions given additionally 100 mg bid dihydrocodeine during first 4 days 1 month treatment. Electrical...
Reduced aspirin efficacy has been demonstrated in people with Type 2 diabetes. Because increased platelet reactivity and/or turnover are postulated mechanisms, we examined whether higher more frequent dosing might reduce effectively.Participants diabetes (n = 24) but without known cardiovascular disease were randomized a three-way crossover design to 2-week treatment periods 100 mg once daily, 200 daily or twice daily. The primary outcome was reactivity, assessed using the VerifyNow(™) ASA...
Verbal encouragement (VE) is considered as external motivation provided by physical education teacher. For this reason, study aimed to examine the effects of VE on psychophysiological and affective responses during small-sided games (SSG). Sixteen male school students (age: 17.37 ± 0.48 years) completed four sessions a 4-a-side SSG. Two occurred with (SSGE), two did not include (SSGNE). Heart rate was continuously recorded, rating perceived exertion (RPE) blood lactate concentration ([La]b)...
This study aimed to analyze the number of successful finishers and performance athletes in 100-km ultra-marathons worldwide. A total 2067 ultra-marathon races with 369,969 men 69,668 women competing between 1960 2019 were analyzed, including finishers, age, sex, running speed. The results showed a strong increase events as well participants gap disappeared older than 60 years. Nevertheless, speed over 70 years has improved every decade. In contrast, among top three remains persistent all...
The aspect of participation and performance trends in marathon running has been investigated mainly marathons held the United States America (e.g., “New York City Marathon,” “Boston Marathon”), but not for fastest course world, “Berlin Marathon” Berlin, Germany. This study aimed to examine on all its previous 46 editions from 1974 2019, largest dataset ever studied this event with 696,225 finishers (after data cleaning). Athletes age groups increased their participation, except male athletes...
The main purpose of this research was to demonstrate the changes in 25(OH)D concentration, bone resorption markers, and physical fitness along one-year training season young soccer players. A total 24 players (age: 17.2 ± 1.16 years, mass: 70.2 5.84, height: 179.1 4.26 cm) were tested at four different time points across one year (T1-September 2019; T2-December T3-May 2020; T4-August 2020).

Predictive resting metabolic rate (RMR) equations are widely used to determine athletes’ energy expenditure (REE). However, it remains unclear whether these predictive RMR accurately predict REE in the athletic populations. The purpose of study was compare 12 prediction (Harris-Benedict, Mifflin, Schofield, Cunningham, Owen, Liu’s, De Lorenzo) with measured Turkish national team athletes and sedentary controls. A total 97 participants, 49 (24 females, 25 males), 48 (28 20 were recruited from...
Nutrient deficiency is a common cause of underperformance in endurance athletes, and supplement intake frequently considered compensatory for vegan vegetarian athletes specifically.

In recent years, there has been an increasing number of investigations analyzing the effects sex, performance level, and age on pacing in various running disciplines. However, little is known about impact those factors strategies ultramarathon trail running. This study investigated age, level UTMB® (Ultra-trail du Mont Blanc) aimed to verify previous findings obtained research other disciplines races. Data from 2008 2019 for 13,829 race results (12,681 men 1148 women) were analyzed. A...
Cut-off points and performance-related tools are needed for the development of Olympic distance triathlon. The purposes present study were (i) to determine cut-off values reach top three positions in an triathlon; (ii) identify which discipline highest influence on overall race performance if it has changed over decades. Data from 1989 2019 (n = 52,027) all who have competed official triathlon events (World Triathlon Series Olympics) included. value achieve a position was calculated. Linear...
