Objective: Protein supplements (PSs) are widely consumed by professional and non-professional athletes, yet research on non-athletic PS users’ perceptions, motivations, and health risk awareness is limited. This study aimed to investigate non-p...

Background/Objectives: Creatine monohydrate (CRE) is a popular nutritional supplement that increases lean/muscle mass accretion. Although data regarding CRE and its effects on muscle protein synthesis are mixed, we hypothesized that CRE may potentiat...

Introduction: Oral rehydration reduces thirst sensation (TS), which may negatively affect autonomic function, measured by heart-rate variability (HRV). However, it is unclear if this effect is independent of hydration changes. This study examines whe...

Background/Objectives: Studies of the effects of anchor schemes (perceived intensity vs. relative intensity) on muscular performance have reported mixed findings. Therefore, the present study examined the effects of different anchor schemes on time-t...

Background: Extensive data exists on external load during training and competition, but a significant gap remains in understanding internal physiological load, particularly in protocols conducted in ecological settings. Given the scarcity of studies...

Background/Objectives: Neurodegenerative diseases represent a growing global health challenge with limited therapeutic options. Physical exercise has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological intervention with potential neuroprotective effects. This...

Background: The aim of this systematic review was to collect, appraise, and synthesize the available information related to the cardiovascular and metabolic demands of commonly performed firefighting tasks while wearing personal protective equipment...
