The influence of adrenoceptor blocker treatment on fracture healing in osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic bone
Fracture healing is a highly dynamic process that involves inflammation, cell recruitment, angiogenesis, and subsequent bone formation and remodeling. Increasing evidence suggests the pivotal role of adrenergic signaling in musculoskeletal repair and bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis…

Performance prediction equation for the Valencia Marathon based on time and pacing in the half marathon
IntroductionAlthough pacing is a variable that affects marathon running performance, there is a lack of studies that assessed whether it can improve performance prediction. The aim was to calculate a linear regression model with data such as the half marathon race time, age category, sex and pacing…

Acute enhancement strategies for countermovement jump performance: a network meta-analysis of different resistance training protocols
BackgroundCountermovement jump performance is the gold standard for assessing lower limb power, and even minor improvements can significantly enhance performance in sports such as basketball and volleyball. Post-activation potentiation (PAP) and post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) are…

Time-efficient and beneficial strategy: low-volume high-intensity interval training for cardiometabolic health and body composition outcomes in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity—a systematic review and meta-analysis
ObjectivesThis meta-analysis aimed to synthesize evidence on the effects of low-volume high-intensity interval training (LV-HIIT) on body composition and cardiometabolic health in overweight and obese children and adolescents. Specifically, we sought to: (1) quantify the effects of LV-HIIT versus…

Accentuated eccentric loading in lower-body resistance training: a systematic review of acute and chronic adaptations on strength, power, and speed outcomes
Background and ObjectivesAccentuated eccentric loading (AEL) prescribes an eccentric load exceeding the paired concentric load, exploiting the muscle’s greater force capacity during lengthening. Evidence suggests benefits, but findings on its acute and chronic efficacy versus traditional resistance…

Effects of concurrent training on speed and agility performance in soccer referees
PurposeSoccer referees are exposed to high aerobic and anaerobic demands during match play, yet evidence regarding training strategies that simultaneously enhance speed and agility in this population remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effects of a 12-week concurrent training program…

Influence of body position on diaphragmatic thickening fraction in healthy adults: advancing the standardization of diaphragm ultrasonography
IntroductionThe diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, and its dysfunction—particularly in hospitalized patients or those in intensive care units—is associated with difficulties in weaning from mechanical ventilation, functional deterioration, and increased healthcare costs. Although…

No improvement in maximum jumping height in experienced and less experienced jumpers following a single session of transabdominal, transcutaneous spinal anodal direct current stimulation
IntroductionConflicting findings have been reported about effects of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) on jumping performance, as transabdominal tsDCS was shown to enhance maximum jumping height while spine-shoulder did not. The aim of the study was to evaluate effects of…

End-to-end non-invasive ECG signal generation from PPG signal: a self-supervised learning approach
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are frequently utilized for detecting important cardiac events, such as variations in ECG intervals, as well as for monitoring essential physiological metrics, including heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV). However, the accurate measurement of ECG…

Afferent innervation of the kidney: projections to and processing in the central nervous system
FDA approval for catheter-based renal nerve ablation has sparked renewed interest in the role of renal nerves in hypertension and their potential contribution to other pathophysiologies. While the anti-hypertensive effects of catheter-based renal nerve ablation were thought to be due to the…

Central motor commands to human elbow joint muscles during simultaneous changes in their force and length: a preliminary study
IntroductionMuscle hysteresis reflects nonlinear, history-dependent relationships between electromyographic (EMG) activity, muscle length, and force. Although hysteresis has been examined under fixed-length or fixed-force conditions, it remains unclear how EMG hysteresis behaves when muscle length…
