Eight weeks of concurrent training, with or without inspiratory muscle exercise, was better than WHO “Support for Rehabilitation: Self-Management after COVID-19-Related Illness” recommendations training alone to improve cardiopulmonary fitness, strength, and symptom severity, in a safe effective manner. The RECOVE trial proved the benefits utility supervised exercise program people post-COVID-19 conditions mild COVID-19 an ambulatory setting.

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy 11 wk resistance training failure vs. nonfailure, followed by an identical 5-wk peaking period maximal strength and power for both groups as well underlying physiological changes in basal circulating anabolic catabolic hormones. Forty-two physically active men were matched then randomly assigned either a (RF; n = 14), nonfailure (NRF; 15), or control (C; 13). Muscular testing blood draws determine hormonal concentrations conducted before...

Bone has recently been described as exhibiting properties of an endocrine organ by producing osteocalcin that increases insulin sensitivity and secretion in animal models.We aimed to evaluate circulating association with three different studies nondiabetic subjects: one cross-sectional study 149 men (using minimal model), two longitudinal independent groups (one formed 26 women, the other 9 11 women), after a mean 7.3 16.8% weight loss, 8.7% loss plus regular exercise.In study, was...

Effects of 16-wk strength training on maximal and power performance the arm leg muscles serum concentrations [testosterone (T), free testosterone (FT), cortisol] were examined in 11 middle-aged (M46; 46 ± 2 yr) older men (M64; 64 yr). During training, relative increases muscle output significant both groups ( P < 0.05–0.001), with no differences between two groups. The absolute higher 0.01–0.05) M46 than M64 mainly during last 8 wk training. No changes observed for T FT concentrations....

This investigation examined the influence of number repetitions per set on power output and muscle metabolism during leg press exercise. Six trained men (age 34 ± 6 yr) randomly performed either 5 sets 10 (10REP), or (5REP) bilateral exercise, with same initial load rest intervals between sets. Muscle biopsies (vastus lateralis) were taken before first set, after final Compared 5REP, 10REP resulted in a markedly greater decrease (P<0.05) output, PCr ATP content, higher levels lactate IMP....

This study compared physical characteristics (body height [BH], body mass [BM], fat [BF], and free [FFM]), one repetition maximum bench press (1RM (BP)), jumping explosive power (VJ), handball throwing velocity, power-load relationship of the leg arm extensor muscles, 5- 15-m sprint running time, endurance in elite (n = 16; EF) amateur 15; AF) female players aged 17 - 38. Results revealed that, to AF, EF presented similar values percent fat, but higher (p < 0.001 0.05) BH (6 %), FFM (10 1RM...

The purpose of this study was to analyse differences in rally length considering attack effectiveness, a players' location and game outcome professional padel players. A total 1527 rallies from 10 male matches the 2013 Masters Finals World Padel Tour were registered through systematic observation. Data treatment included non-parametric mean comparisons (Mann-Withney Kruskal-Wallis tests), association analyses (crosstabs Chi square analysis). In overall, 40% unforced errors made within first...

Abstract Courel-Ibáñez, J, Sánchez-Alcaraz Martinez, BJ, and Muñoz Marín, D. Exploring game dynamics in padel: implications for assessment training. J Strength Cond Res 33(7): 1971–1977, 2019—A better understanding of in-game competition demands potentially improved coaching strategy quality. However, there is very limited information about patterns padel, a modern racket sport born the 70s. The purpose this study was therefore to quantify classify during match professional padel players...

This study investigated the inter- and intra-device agreement of four new devices marketed for barbell velocity measurement. Mean, mean propulsive peak outcomes were obtained bench press full squat exercises along whole load-velocity spectrum (from light to heavy loads). Measurements simultaneously registered by two linear transducers T-Force, position Speed4Lifts, smartphone video-based systems My Lift, one 3D motion analysis system STT. Calculations included infraclass correlation...

Purpose: Sixteen elite female handball players were studied to examine the effects of an entire season on anthropometric characteristics, physical fitness, and throwing velocity. Methods: One-repetition-maximum bench press (1RMBP), jumping explosive strength, power-load relationship leg arm extensor muscles, 5- 15-m sprint running time, endurance running, velocity assessed in four periods. Individual volumes intensities training competition quantified for 11 activities. Results: During...

This study examined the impact of 4 weeks either complete cessation training (DTR) or a tapering period (TAP; short-term reduction strength volume, while intensity is kept high), subsequent to 16 periodized heavy resistance (PRT) on strength/power gains and underlying physiologic changes in basal circulating anabolic/catabolic hormones strength-trained athletes. Forty-six physically active men were matched randomly assigned TAP (n = 11), DTR 14), control group (C; n 21), 16-week PRT program....

This study aimed to analyse effectiveness at the net and its influence on match outcome regarding serve situation in professional padel players. The sample contained 2107 rallies from 15 male matches of 2013 Masters Finals World Padel Tour. Variables pertaining game result, attack effectiveness, players' location, were registered through systematic observation. Statistical analyses included a series binomial logistic regression analyses. Results showed that six out ten finished net....

The choice of the optimal squatting depth for resistance training (RT) has been a matter debate decades and is still controversial. In this study, fifty-three resistance-trained men were randomly assigned to one four groups: full squat (F-SQ), parallel (P-SQ), half (H-SQ), Control (training cessation). Experimental groups completed 10-week velocity-based RT programme using same relative load (linear periodization from 60% 80% 1RM), only differing in trained. individual range motion spinal...
