Background/Objectives: Despite the abundant body of evidence linking high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to cardiometabolic markers, little is known about how HIIT affects liver enzymes, particularly in obese adolescents. This study aimed investigate effects on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic disease (MASLD)-related biomarkers overweight/obese adolescent girls. Methods: Thirty-three girls (age, 17.0 ± 1.15 yr.; mass index, 33.3 4.77 kg/m2) were randomly assigned (n = 17) or...
Objective: Research in sports medicine and exercise science has experienced significant growth over recent years. With this expansion, there been a concomitant rise ethical challenges specific to these disciplines. While various guidelines exist for numerous scientific fields, comprehensive set tailored specifically is lacking. Aiming bridge gap, paper proposes comprehensive, updated of targeted at researchers science, providing them with thorough framework ensure research integrity....
To investigate the effect of a 6-week tai chi (TC) training program on physical performance in adolescents with Down syndrome and its influence psychological well-being their parents, randomized controlled design, 25 male (age 14.4 ± 1.30 years) were randomly assigned to control group ( n = 10) or 15). Before after period, lower limb explosive strength, upper flexibility, balance assessed all participants, as well parents’ well-being. Using 2 × repeated-measures analysis variance,...
Preferred music has been shown to enhance psychological and physiological parameters in order increase physical performance high intensity exercises. However, the effects of preferred are less conclusive with different frequencies. The present study assessed listening during warm-up at frequencies on psychophysiological responses specific male female kickboxers. In a double-blind crossover design, fifteen men thirteen women kickboxers randomly performed intermittent kickboxing anaerobic...
To examine the effects of short high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on body composition, physical performance and plasma lipids in overweight/obese compared to normal-weight young men. Nine nine men (control group) aged 17 20 years underwent a HIIT programme three times per week for eight weeks. Body indices aerobic [maximal velocity (MAV) maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)] anaerobic [squat jump (SJ), counter-movement (CMJ), five-jump test (FJT), 10-m 30-m sprint] performances, as well...
Although High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has shown its effectiveness in improving body composition, cardio-respiratory fitness and lipid profile obese adults, evidences remain limited overweight/obese youth. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a 12-week HIIT program without caloric restriction on composition among young men. Twenty healthy youth were randomly allocated into two groups; experimental group control group. The consisted 3 exercises sessions per week (30...
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and small-sided games (SSG) have been applied tested for athletes in order to enhance the soccer performance. For this reason, experimental study aimed compare effects of SSGs HIIT on power, physiological responses perceived enjoyment.Sixteen youth players (age, 17.5±0.6 years, mean±standard deviation; height, 178.2±6.4 cm; body mass, 70.4±5.4 kg; fat, 10.6±0.8%) completed one session each SSG separate days with 1 week between sessions. Each lasted 25...
This study aimed to assess the effects of total quality recovery and well-being indices (self-ratings sleep during preceding night, stress, fatigue delayed onset muscle soreness) on rating perceived exertion (RPE) physical enjoyment (PE) small-sided games. A 20 professional soccer players (25 ± 0.8 years) completed four 5-a-side game sessions 25-min duration each (4 × 4 min work with 3-min passive in-between). All variables were collected before session exception RPE Physical Activity...
The ergogenic effect of pre-selected warm-up music with the tempo and loudness variations on performance combat sports’ athletes as well difference between sexes is not established. present study aimed to assess effects listening different tempos during perceived exertion, physical enjoyment performances in young taekwondo athletes. In a randomized design, 20 (10 males, mean ± SD: age: 17.5 0.7 years, experience: ≥ 6 year) performed specific agility test (TSAT) 10s multiple frequency speed...
This study investigated the effects of 4-weeks repeated sprint (RST) vs. high-intensity-technique training (RTT) on physical performance. Thirty-six adolescent taekwondo athletes (age: 16 ± 1 yrs) were randomly assigned to RST (10 × 35 m sprint, 10 s rest), RTT 6 Bandal-tchagui, rest) and control (control group (CG): no additional training) groups. Additionally, their regular training, trained 2×/week for 4 weeks. Training load (TL), monotony, strain calculated using rating perceived...
This study investigated low-dose caffeine ingestion, conditioning activity (CA) effects on psycho-physical performances in young taekwondo athletes. In a randomized, double-blind, counterbalanced, crossover design, 20 athletes (10 males; 17.5 ± 0.7 yrs) performed taekwondo-specific agility test (TSAT), 10 s/multiple frequency speed of kick (FSKT-10s/FSKT-mult) after ingesting 3 mg·kg−1 (CAF) or placebo (PL) 60 min before performing standard warm-up without (NoCA) with CA (3 × vertical jumps...
Soccer match outcomes rely on technical accuracy, intensity of play, and athlete motivation, these parameters can be developed during sport-specific practice such as small-sided games (SSGs). Verbal encouragement a coaching technique improves exercise enjoyment (indicative motivation), but the impact performance alongside critical remains unknown.To examine effects verbal performance, intensity, SSGs.Sixteen male youth soccer players (mean [SD]; age: 17.2 [0.4] y; height: 176.3 [7.0] cm;...
Sex differences that appear throughout puberty have a substantial impact on the training process. It remains unclear what effect these sex should how programs are planned and performed objectives be established for boys girls of different ages. This study aimed to investigate relationship between vertical jump performance muscle volume based age sex.One hundred eighty healthy males (n = 90) females three types jumps (VJ): squat (SJ), counter movement (CMJ), with arms (CMJ arms). We used...
Abstract Background This study aimed to compare various factors, namely perceived enjoyment (PE), percentage of peak heart rate (%HRpeak), blood lactate (La), rating exertion (RPE), and technical-tactical performance among soccer players across different bout durations (CB: continuous bout, MIB: medium intermittent bouts, SIB: short bouts) between male female during four-a-side (4vs4) small-sided games (SSGs) including goalkeepers. Methods sixteen (age: 20.1 ± 0.5 years old) professional...
Omentin-1 is a recently discovered adipokine, mainly produced by visceral adipose tissue, which thought to improve insulin sensitivity. The study aimed assess the association of plasma omentin-1 with cardiometabolic traits and physical performance test its response high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in obese normal-weight subjects.Nine overweight/obese (OG) 9 (NWG) young men performed an 8-week HIIT program.
