The literature suggests that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is more effective than moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) to improve functional ability. However, there is no evidence on including HIIT in a circuit programme (HIICT). O...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, underscoring the necessity of long-term secondary prevention strategies such as comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR). CR is a clinically validated, cost-effe...
Background: Optimizing training load and recovery is crucial for achieving peak performance in competitive wrestling, a sport characterized by high physical, technical, and psychological demands. Methods: This study compared the effects of two differ...
Female university ice hockey players experience elevated and sustained cardiovascular stress during training and competition. There remains limited research on the “exercise dose–response” in female ice hockey players. The purpose o...
Background: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is increasingly implemented in school-based physical education, yet little is known about how exercise intensity changes across repeated sessions and whether such trajectories are associated with ph...
This study investigated the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in elite youth soccer players using a novel multidomain correlational mapping approach. A four-week HIIT intervention was applied in a randomized controlled design, with p...
There is conflicting evidence on whether concurrent aerobic endurance and resistance training (RT) leads to synergistic enhancements in aerobic capacity and muscular strength or causes interference, limiting performance gains. We developed a concurre...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a major global health burden, characterized by persistent airflow limitation, progressive lung tissue destruction, and systemic comorbidities. Conventional pharmacological therapies alleviate sympt...
Monitoring respiration rate (RR) is crucial in various healthcare settings, particularly during demanding (physical) activities where respiratory dynamics are critical indicators of health status. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of photople...

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves functional capacity, muscle power and physical performance in older adults with and without comorbidities. The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of HIIT as a method for reducing major...
Background: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a time-efficient approach that has been recognized to enhance cardiometabolic health and aerobic capacity in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various HIIT...
During exercise, increased oxygen consumption results in elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). If the antioxidant system is unable to counteract this surge in ROS, oxidative stress occurs. Physical activity modulates both the generati...
The sirtuins (SIRT) protein family and the mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) are intracellular molecules that have been involved in the regulation of several biological processes, as well as in various aging-related processes. This pil...
Skeletal muscle, as the largest metabolic organ, maintains its homeostasis highly dependent on the precise regulation of mitochondrial quality control. Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) encompasses three core aspects: mitochondrial biogenesis, dyna...
Backround and Objectives: Basketball performance is shaped by repeated high-intensity actions interspersed with brief recovery. Conventional continuous or strictly incremental testing may not fully capture short active-recovery dynamics relevant to s...
High-intensity interval training (HIIT), a new type of exercise, can effectively prevent the progression of metabolic diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of HIIT on liver inflammation and metabolic disorders in type 2 diabe...
Purpose: Acute exercise elicits coordinated neuroendocrine and autonomic responses that are strongly influenced by exercise modality and intensity. While cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase are widely used as peripheral indicators of hypothalamic&nda...

As global quality of life has improved, the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases have gradually increased in prevalence. People have consequently sought to improve their health through physical exercise. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is...
Forecasting petroleum prices in state-administered markets presents unique challenges distinct from those encountered in liberalized commodity exchanges. Algeria’s hydrocarbon sector, which accounts for 95% of export earnings, operates under pricing...
Surface electromyography (sEMG), increasingly delivered through wireless wearable systems, is a key non-invasive tool for the objective monitoring of muscle activation during repetitive motor tasks. The clinical and longitudinal usefulness of wearabl...
Research in football has been embracing the complex systems paradigm in order to identify different insights about key determinants of performance. The present study explored the multifractal properties of several football-related scenarios, as a can...
Background/Objectives: Telomeres are critical biomarkers of biological aging, with shortened leukocyte telomere length strongly linked to all-cause mortality and age-related disease risk. Although exercise modulates telomere dynamics, the field&rsquo...
