A large proportion of European children, adults and older do not engage in sufficient physical activity (PA). Understanding individual contextual factors associated with PA behaviours is essential for the identification implementation effective preventative environments, policies, programmes that can promote an active lifestyle across life course potentially improve health. The current paper intends to provide 1) a multi-disciplinary, Pan-European view key determinants 2) proposal how these...
To assess the effects of mental fatigue on physical and technical performance in small-sided soccer games.Twenty players (age 17.8 ± 1.0 y, height 179 5 cm, body mass 72.4 6.8 kg, playing experience 8.3 1.4 y) from an Australian National Premier League club volunteered to participate this randomized crossover investigation. Participants played 15-min 5-vs-5 games (SSGs) without goalkeepers 2 occasions separated by 1 wk. Before SSG, team watched a 30-min emotionally neutral documentary...
The aim of this study was to assess elite women's basketball game performance. Five games (3 Italian first division and 2 Euroleague) were analyzed for individual team time-motion analyses. analysis evaluated the players' movement patterns with particular focus on high-intensity activity (HIA), sprint activity, repeated events (RSEs). Team included live time (LT), stoppage (ST), their ratio, transfer (TR) phases, half court full actions. frequency occurrence changes activities n = 576 ± 110,...
This study aimed to analyse the effects of two factors (number players and training regimes) on players' physiological technical demands in basketball ball-drills. Twenty-one young performed four different ball-drills (two levels for each factor). The number involved was 2vs2 4vs4, while ball-drill regimes were continuous intermittent. Physiological demand assessed using percentage maximal heart rate (%HRmax), Edwards' load rating perceived exertion (RPE). Furthermore, following actions...
Purpose : To characterize the weekly training load (TL) and well-being of college basketball players during in-season phase. Methods Ten (6 guards 4 forwards) male (age 20.9 [0.9] y, stature 195.0 [8.2] cm, body mass 91.3 [11.3] kg) from same Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association team were recruited to participate in this study. Individualized game loads assessed using session rating perceived exertion at end each session, status was collected before session. Weekly changes (%)...
The aim of this study was two-fold: (i) to describe the training/match ratios different external load measures during a full professional soccer season while analyzing variations between types weeks (three, four and five training sessions/week) (ii) investigate relationship weekly accumulated loads match demands same week. Twenty-seven players (24.9 ± 3.5 years old) were monitored daily using 10-Hz global positioning system with 100-Hz accelerometer. Total distance (TD), running (RD),...

During neuronal development and maturation, microRNAs (miRs) play diverse functions ranging from early patterning, proliferation commitment to differentiation, survival, homeostasis, activity plasticity of more mature adult neurons. The role miRs in the differentiation olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) is emerging conditional inactivation Dicer immature ORN, depletion all this system. Here, we identify specific involved development, by focusing on mice null for Dlx5, a homeogene essential...
This study assessed the physiological and technical demands of no dribble game drill (NDGD) in comparison with a regular (RD). Twenty-three young basketball players performed RDs NDGDs random order. All rules were followed for RDs, whereas dribbling was not permitted NDGDs. The independent variable condition, dependent variables percentage maximal heart rate (%HRmax), perceived exertion (RPE), Edwards training load (TL), following actions (TAs): pass (total, correct, wrong, percent correct...
The present study aimed at analyzing the technical and tactical aspects of professional padel matches in relation to gender match outcome.For this purpose, a notational analysis was performed on 22 official World Padel Tour 2016 by means 18 indicators.A non-parametric approach applied evaluate differences (P ≤ 0.05) between outcome subgroups.For gender, emerged for occurrence (P<0.001) duration rallies, backhand strokes (P=0.02) volley (P=0.027),strokes close net (P=0.001) from midfield zone...

To assess the weekly fluctuations in workload and differences according to playing time elite female basketball.Twenty-nine basketball players (mean ± standard deviation, age: 21±5yr; stature: 181±7cm; body mass: 71±7kg; experience: 12±5yr) belonging 7 teams competing first division Lithuanian Women's Basketball League (LMKL) were recruited. Individualized training loads (TL) game (GL) assessed using session-RPE following each session during entire in-season phase (24 weeks). Percentage (%)...
This study aimed to evaluate the technical-tactical, perceptual and mental demands of basketball small-sided games (SSGs). Twelve male semi-professional players participated in four half-court 3vs3 SSGs characterized by different tactical tasks (offensive; defensive) training regimes (long-intermittent; short-intermittent). The were video-recorded perform notational analysis technical-tactical parameters. Ratings perceived exertion (RPE, CR-100 scale), effort (ME) e njoyment collected after...
The purposes of this study were to (1) analyze the variations acute and chronic training load well-being measures during 3 periods season (early, mid, end) (2) test associations between weekly different season.Thirteen professional volleyball players from a team competing in Portuguese Volleyball First Division (age 31.0 [5.0] y) monitored an entire season. Weekly (wAL) (wCL), workload ratio (wACWL), monotony (wTM) calculated all weeks values muscle soreness (wDOMS), stress (wStress),...
This study quantified average and peak external intensities of various basketball training drills. Thirteen youth male players (age: 15.2 ± 0.3 years) were monitored (BioHarness-3 devices) to obtain load per minute (EL · min-1; EL min-1) during team-based sessions.
