Sex dimorphism in serum lipid dynamics after acute exhaustive exercise
This study aimed to characterize serum lipidomic sexual dimorphism following acute exhaustive exercise under stringently controlled conditions. Forty healthy adults (20 males, 20 females) performed a CPET to exhaustion, with objective termination criteria and females tested during their mid-luteal…

Weekday-specific associations of movement behaviors with body composition in preschool children: A compositional data analysis
This study aimed to examine the differences in associations between 24-hour movement behaviors and body composition on weekdays versus weekends in preschool children, and to estimate the potential effects of time reallocation among behaviors on body composition. A cross-sectional study was…

Effects of different full squat training volumes matched for fatigue on strength gains, neuromuscular adaptations, and muscle hypertrophy
To investigate the effects of three full squat (SQ) training volumes, matched for fatigue, on jump performance, muscle strength, neuromuscular adaptations, and muscle hypertrophy. Thirty-six resistance-trained men were randomized into three groups: low (LOW), moderate (MOD), and high (HIG) volume…

Possession in motion: a five-season analysis of running in-possession and out-of-possession with match outcomes in the English Premier League
This study examined relationships between running load, possession metrics, and team success (points per game (PPG)), across five English Premier League (EPL) seasons (2019/20–2023/24). Comparison of running and possession demands when facing top six (T6) versus lower-ranked (7–20) opponents was…

Effects of movement velocity in squat training with and without blood flow restriction
This study compared the effects of four different resistance training (RT) programs that differed in the movement velocity [maximum (MaxV) vs. 50% of maximum voluntary velocity (HalfV)] and the blood flow condition [free (FF) vs. restricted (BFR)] on strength, neuromuscular, and hypertrophy…

Do important points change the game? Technical-tactical performance in high-level men’s padel
In padel, match outcomes often hinge on high-pressure situations that arise during critical scoring moments. However, little is known about how technical–tactical performance varies between important and regular points. This study aimed to test whether important points (break, golden, tiebreak)…

Objective sleep characteristics of elite academy soccer players: a seven-day actigraphy analysis of a U15 national league squad
This study quantified objective sleep characteristics in elite academy soccer players using actigraphy and determined how day type (training days, non-training days, and competition days) influences sleep parameters. Objective sleep characteristics of elite academy soccer players (n = 13) were…

Journal Article
The overload loop: a distinct reoxygenation pattern above the second ventilatory threshold revealed by a new analytical method
Overpacing is frequently observed in high-intensity functional training modalities such as CrossFit, where athletes exceed sustainable intensity domains early and subsequently fail to recover performance within the same exercise bout. This study examined whether exercising above the second…

Impact of biological maturation on match workload in Portuguese elite male academy soccer players
Youth soccer academies are essential for identifying and developing talented players, yet substantial inter-individual variability in biological maturation may influence match workload beyond chronological age. This study investigated the independent and interactive effects of biological maturation…

Dietary nitrate supplementation reduces performance decline during repeated sprint exercise independent of sex
Dietary nitrate supplementation has been shown to improve endurance exercise performance, but its effects on repeated anaerobic sprints and potential sex-based differences remain underexplored. This study examined whether acute dietary nitrate supplementation reduces performance decline during…

Effects of unilateral and bilateral training on performance in team sports athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Team sports athletes rely heavily on unilateral movements, yet the comparative performance benefits of unilateral training (UT) versus bilateral training (BT) remain controversial. This meta-analysis systematically examined the effects of UT and BT on strength, jumping, sprinting, and agility in…

Does movement efficiency differentiate performance? An analysis of competition load in elite women’s padel
Quantification of competition load provides critical information on player performance. This study aimed to analyse external loading variables in elite female padel players to establish reference values and distinguish mobility profiles between match-winning and match-losing pairs. Kinematic data…

Training characteristics of male and female World Tour professional road cyclists before the competitive phase
Evidence regarding the training characteristics of professional cyclists is limited, particularly for female athletes. We aimed to compare the week-by-week training characteristics of female and male professional road cyclists of the highest competitive level. We analysed data from 16 female (age…

Current approaches to measuring high-intensity locomotor actions in adult male professional soccer. A scoping review
High-intensity locomotor actions (HILAs) including high-speed running (HSR), sprinting, accelerations, and decelerations are critical to performance and injury risk in professional soccer. Rapid technological and methodological developments since 2021 necessitate an updated synthesis of how these…

Associations of physical activity domains and delayed biological aging: assessing heterogeneity and interaction of effects
Physical activity (PA) is widely recognized for its physical and mental health benefits, but the effects of different PA domains on delayed biological aging remain inconclusive. This study aimed to investigate the specific effects of occupational PA (OPA), transportation PA (TPA), and leisure-time…

Influence of contextualized physical performance metrics on offensive and defensive outcomes in professional football players
This study aimed to determine how contextualized physical performance metrics influence offensive and defensive outcomes in professional football. We examined external load and high-intensity actions over two seasons, adopting a dual-team approach including a reference team and its opponent…

Assessing the contributions of technical error and biological variability to error of measurement in reliability studies
A neglected issue in reliability studies is the contribution of technical (device) error and biological variability to the standard (typical) error of measurement. These contributions can be estimated with mixed modeling when subjects are measured simultaneously with two devices on two occasions…

Does repeated daytime napping over consecutive days enhance physical, perceptual, and cardiac autonomic responses in high-level adolescent basketball players?
Adolescent athletes experience insufficient sleep, impacting their health and performance. Napping has emerged as a promising sleep management strategy to counteract these consequences, with acute benefits on performance. However, the impact of repeated napping remains unclear. This study examined…
