Blood flow restriction exercise (BFRE), which partially restricts arterial inflow and occludes venous outflow to the limbs, has gained attention for its potential to elevate serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key mediator in the muscle...
Boxing is a sport that has a high level of oxygen use within the Rectus Femoris muscle, with recovery between rounds important to subsequent performance. The study aimed to determine muscle oxygen use in male and female professional boxers in respons...
Background: Previous work has found that combining plyometric and resistance training in a single session can be effective in improving maximum strength (muscle contraction ability), vertical jumping, and sprint acceleration performance in young socc...
This study examined the impact of different breath-holding conditions on iliopsoas and other hip flexor muscle activity in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI). It has been hypothesised that impaired diaphragmatic function influences ilio...
This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle on the performance of female athletes. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, and Pu...
The strength and conditioning literature examining neuromuscular physiology, bioenergetics, neuroendocrine factors, nutrition and metabolic factors, and the use of ergogenic aids, as well as physical and physiological responses and adaptations, have...
Benign paroxysmal torticollis (BPT) is a condition characterized by episodes of alternating head tilt in infants. Mild cases may be mistaken for Congenital Muscular Torticollis, potentially leading to unnecessary treatment. This case report describes...
Hip injuries are common in contact sports, particularly in high-impact activities. A well-known type of hip trauma is the hip pointer, which is a contusion of the iliac crest caused by a direct blow. Typically, hip pointers involve the lateral aspect...
Improving and maintaining an ideal body composition is important for sporting achievement and good health. Body composition assessment is therefore a tool used to monitor training and to evaluate the objectives of a training plan for health purposes....
Non-contact injuries are common in collegiate throwing athletes. Identifying musculoskeletal issues that predispose athletes to injuries would be valuable for reducing the associated risk. The purpose of this pilot study was to use binomial logistic...
