The effects of protein supplementation on performance recovery and inflammatory responses during a simulated one-week in-season microcycle with two games (G1, G2) performed three days apart were examined. Twenty football players participated in trials, receiving either milk concentrate (1.15 0.26 g/kg game training days, respectively) (PRO) or an energy-matched placebo (1.37 0.31 carbohydrate (PLA) according to randomized, repeated-measures, crossover, double-blind design. Each trial...
Insulin-dependent patients are individuals with chronic disease who well adapted to living and dealing any health needs fears arising. An important aspect in the process of adaptation illness is provision nursing care early stages disease, because this contributes its acceptance identification management potential complications.To investigate self-management problems faced by diabetes daily, especially those use insulin. Furthermore purpose study was experienced stage but also subsequent...
The development of chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation in the elderly (inflammaging) has been associated with increased incidence chronic diseases, geriatric syndromes, and functional impairments. aim this study was to examine differences habitual physical activity (PA), dietary intake patterns, musculoskeletal performance among community-dwelling men low elevated inflammation. Nonsarcopenic older free diseases were grouped as ‘low’ (LSI: n = 17; 68.2 ± 2.6 years; hs-CRP: <1 mg/L) or...
To determine the recovery kinetics of performance, muscle damage, and neuromuscular fatigue following 2 speed-endurance production training (SEPT) protocols in soccer.Ten well-trained, male soccer athletes randomly completed 3 trials: work-to-rest ratio 1:5, SEPT/1:8, a control trial. Training load during SEPT was monitored using global positioning system heart-rate monitors. Performance (isokinetic strength knee extensors flexors, speed, countermovement jump) damage (delayed-onset soreness...
Limited research exists in the literature regarding biomechanics of jump-landing sequence individuals that experience symptoms muscle damage. The present study investigated effects knee localized damage on sagittal plane landing during drop vertical jump (DVJ). Thirteen regional level athletes performed five sets 15 maximal eccentric voluntary contractions extensors both legs at 60°/s. Pelvic and lower body kinematics kinetics were measured pre- 48 h post-eccentric exercise. examination...
Background/Objectives: Despite being widely promoted, protein supplementation’s overall effectiveness during demanding basketball schedules remains unclear. This study investigated whether increased intake can accelerate recovery of muscle function a 6-day congested microcycle consisting three consecutive games while accounting for the impact playing time. Methods: In randomized, two-trial, cross-over, double-blind repeated measures design, eighteen male players were assigned to high (High...
