The aims of this study were to analyze the shoulder functional profile young male and female tennis players establish relationship among physical variables serve speed.A total 128 Spanish (Under-13 (n = 32/32 males/females) Under-15 36/28 males/females), tested during National training camps. Tests included passive range motion (ROM) for both internal (IR) external rotation (ER) isometric strength (i.e., IR ER) dominant/non-dominant shoulders, medicine ball throws (MBT), speed. Age sex...
Despite the large number of studies that have examined acute effects different warm up modalities (WU) on physical performance, none them documented time course potential performance recovery in tennis players. The aim this study was twofold: (a) to analyze and compare two WU (traditional [TWU] dynamic [DWU]) (i.e., CMJ, sprint, serve speed accuracy) elite junior players, as well (b) monitor any WU-induced changes after 30 60 min simulated match-play. Twelve players completed both WUs (TWU...
The aim of this study was to investigate the acute (a football match) and chronic whole season) effects competition on ankle dorsiflexion ROM in professional players. Forty players participated study. Ankle recorded examine (pre-match, immediately post-match 48 h post-match) (pre-season, mid-season post-season) competitive football. In addition, it found that had restricted mobility measures as >2 cm change between baseline (pre-match pre-season). training load all played matches estimated...
Previous investigations have found that several genes may be associated with the interindividual variability to ergogenic response caffeine. The aim of this study is analyze influence genetic variations in CYP1A2 (-163C > A, rs762551; characterized such as "fast" (AA genotype) and "slow" caffeine metabolizers (C-carriers)) ADORA2A (1976T C; rs5751876; by "high" (TT or "low" sensitivity on acute intake professional handball players. Thirty-one players (sixteen men fifteen women; daily = 60 ±...
Abstract The monitoring of the high intensity activity-demands profile during official matches (OMs) and training sessions (TSs) provides a deeper understanding relationship between competition loads as well players’ fitness characteristics. aims this study were to: 1) describe match in U-19 soccer players; 2) compare depending on type session (OM or TS) throughout match-weeks; 3) differentiate profiles location (home away). Twenty-five Spanish players monitored TSs OMs for one-month...
This study aimed to examine the intra-season variation and effects of contextual variables on total distance (TD), high-intensity running (HIRD) high-speed (HSD) covered by Spanish football teams. The sample included 20 professional teams that competed in LaLiga during 2021-2022 season. Data were recorded using TRACAB (ChyronHego, New York, USA) multicamera computerized optical tracking system. Multilevel linear mixed models used five (1: phase season six periods, 2: match location, 3:...
This study assessed the agreement between an optical video tracking system (TRACAB Gen5, Chyronhego, NY, USA) coupled with Mediacoach software (LaLiga, Spain) and accelerometry data derived from a GPS-Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) device (GPS-IMU; Hudl, Lincoln, NE, in measuring number intensity of accelerations (ACCs) decelerations (DECs) during professional football matches. Data were collected 46 LaLiga players across three seasons (2021–2024), resulting 662 comparative match datasets,...
Background: The scientific literature about the effect of a football match on leg force production is scarce, particularly for competitive matches in female players. This investigation aimed to assess acute quadriceps and hamstrings’ rate development (RFD) isometric peak (IPF) during knee flexion extension actions. Methods: study design present research was descriptive longitudinal. Twenty-two players (20 ± 2 years) underwent unilateral maximal (quadriceps) (hamstrings) measurements at three...
Sports supplements are commonly used by elite athletes with the main goal of enhancing sport performance. Supplements use might be substantially different depending on discipline, sex, and competitive level. To date, data about prevalence most-commonly in handball scarce. Thus, aim this investigation was to determine patterns players both sexes levels: One hundred eighty-seven (112 men 75 women) levels (106 professional 81 amateur) completed a validated self-administered questionnaire use....
Beetroot juice (BJ) contains high levels of inorganic nitrate (NO3-) and its intake has good evidence in increasing blood nitrate/nitrite concentrations. The ingestion BJ been associated with improvements physical performance endurance sports, however the literature intermittent sports is scarce. aim this study was to investigate whether could improve tennis players. Thirteen well-trained players (25.4 ± 5.1 years) participated during their preparatory period for season. Subjects were...
Genetic factors play a significant role in athletic performance and its related phenotypes such as power, strength aerobic capacity. In this regard, the lack of muscle protein due to genetic polymorphism has been found affect sport wide variety ways. α-actinin-3 is located within skeletal with key production sarcomeric force. A common stop-codon (rs1815739; R577X) gene that codes for (ACTN3) produces individuals XX genotype expression functional α-actinin-3. contrast, R-allele (i.e., RX vs....
The maximum running speed that a football player can attain during match play has become one of the most popular variables to assess player's physical talent. However, influence on performance not yet been properly investigated. aim this study was determine peak/maximum team's ranking position at end national league. A second investigate differences in among playing positions. To fulfil aim, speeds 475 male professional players were recorded for 38 fixtures Spanish first-division league (
Whereas beetroot juice (BJ) supplementation is shown to increase physical performance in endurance activities, its benefits team sports has been barely studied. In this randomized placebo-controlled study, we investigated the effects of BJ acute improving neuromuscular and match activity basketball. Ten young male competitive basketball players aged 15-16 years received 140 mL or placebo (PLA) on two separated days a balanced cross-over design. Testing sessions comprised test battery...
To date, there is a lack of information about the optimal conditions warm-up to lead better performance in elite tennis players. The aim this study was compare effects two different protocols (dynamic vs. self-myofascial release with foam rolling) on neuromuscular variables associated physical determinants performance. Using crossover randomised experimental design, eleven professional men players (20.6 ± 3.5 years) performed either dynamic (DWU) or rolling (SMFR) protocol. DWU consisted 8...
In 2020, the IOC released a consensus statement that provides overall guidelines for recording and reporting of epidemiological data on injury illness in sport. Some aspects this need to be further specified sport-by-sport basis. To extend methods sports meet sport-specific requirements all cycling disciplines regulated by Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). A panel 20 experts, with experience or medicine, participated drafting cycling-specific extension statement. preparation, members were...
In the first wave of COVID-19 outbreak (spring 2020), division professional soccer in Spain ( LaLiga ) was suspended for 12 weeks as part lockdown imposed by Spanish health authorities. Professional players were confined to home 8 and then a retraining period 4 set before competitive match. When competition resumed, teams competed congested calendar (11 matchdays 39 days) while some in-game regulations altered (up 5 substitutions, refreshment pauses). The current research presents an...
The aim of this study was to investigate the association ACTN3 rs1815739 polymorphism with match running performance and injury incidence in top-level professional football players. A total 315 players from first division Spanish (i.e., LaLiga) participated prospective descriptive study. genotype identified for each player using genomic DNA samples. During LaLiga 2021–2022, players’ obtained through a validated camera system all official matches. Additionally, non-contact injuries by team’s...
Background: The influence of external workload variables on the development calf muscle strainsin football players has not been previously explored. Hypothesis: Overloaded would have an increased risk strain injury. Study Design: Prospective observational study. Level Evidence: 4. Methods: A total 41 professional from 1 team were monitored for 2 consecutive seasons. Total distance covered (TD), and distances at high-intensity running, high sprint low (LACC) (HACC) acceleration, (LDEC) (HDEC)...
