XML Blood-Flow Restriction Walking: Effects on Insulin Sensitivity and Aerobic Capacity in Type 2 Diabetes
Samer AbuEid *
Abstract (1085 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (433 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • This study indicates that BFR Walk Training could be an effective, low-intensity exercise alternative for managing T2D, particularly for patients who struggle with high-intensity workouts.
  • Recommended Protocol: T2D patients may benefit from low-intensity BFR Walk Training with cuffs set to 50% LOP, effectively enhancing insulin sensitivity and aerobic capacity.
  • Monitoring and Safety: Blood pressure and exertion levels during BFR sessions, especially for beginners, can be monitored to maintain patient safety.
  • Patient Education: Educating patients on BFR benefits, safe cuff use, and expected outcomes, such as improved glycemic control, can enhance adherence and engagement.
  • Expected Outcomes: Clinicians may observe improved glycemic control and aerobic fitness over 8 weeks, though adjustments in intensity and frequency may be needed to meet individual patient responses.

XML A Systematic Review of Nutritional Ergogenic Aids on Physiological Responses and Skilled Performance among Football Players
Nur Syamsina Ahmad , Muhammad Luqman Jariah , Erie Zuraidee Zulkifli , Rosniwati Ghafar *
Abstract (1338 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (378 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • The current study showed that the drink type of supplementation was the preferred form among the players during the competition, compared to the capsule or solid bar.
  • Interestingly, the most chosen supplements were carbohydrates, amino acid groups, electrolyte drinks, and caffeine. Deep ocean water, carbohydrate-electrolyte, caffeine, nitrate, BCAA, and creatine were used to improve sports performance, while probiotics focused on brain function, and others altered blood markers to the optimum level compared to baseline.
  • Therefore, we claim that the supplement dosage should be based on body weight to give football players the maximum effect.

XML The Revelation of Linear and Change of Direction HIIT Training Effects on the Anaerobic Power of Female Football Players
Besnik Morina , Grgur Višić * , Davorin Antonić , Matej Babić , Goran Sporiš , Ivica Franjko , Zvonimir Tomac , Onur Akman , Aleksandar Miletić , Rrezon Krasniqi
Abstract (1858 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (331 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • The conducted research enriches the existing literature by offering scientific, theoretical, and practical insights specifically tailored to women's football.
  • HIIT training with directional changes has similar effects on anaerobic power as HIIT training without directional changes, establishing both as valuable training methods.
  • The findings provide clear and relevant information about the distinct impacts of these two training types, conducted independently of other training methods.
  • Given their proven effectiveness, coaches and sports scientists can integrate these HIIT protocols to enhance athlete performance.
  • The study also addresses a previously limited area of research on high-intensity interval training, particularly with directional changes, which has only been sporadically mentioned in prior studies.

XML The Analysis of Injuries or Pain among Fencing Athletes and Recovery Methods Based on the Distribution of the Cutaneous Nerve: A Literature Review
Junghwan Kim , Hyejung Oh , Je-Hun Lee *
Abstract (1040 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (437 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • Since the nerves responsible for pain travel through muscles, when any pain occurs, intentional stimulation of the boundary muscle according to each pain region helps relieve pain.

XML Effects of Wearing Functional Garment on Balance, Cervical Lordosis Angle, and Aerobic Performance in Amateur Runners: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Han Soo Park , Jae Keun Oh , Mu Yeop Ji *
Abstract (815 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (221 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • This study suggests functional garments can improve male amateur runners' balance, cervical posture, and aerobic capacity.
  • Athletes and coaches may benefit from incorporating these garments into training to enhance performance and reduce injury risks.
  • The garments may help maintain stability and prevent posture-related injuries during long-distance running.

XML Dynamic Plantar Pressure Patterns and Their Role in Optimizing Energy Transfer During the Golf Swing
Khemchat Chaemklan , Pornthep Rachnavy * , Soodkhet Pojprapai , Dipak Kumar Agrawal
Abstract (867 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (292 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • Integrating plantar pressure assessment and energy transfer evaluation can provide insights into how pressure distribution influences the energy transfer through the kinetic chain during the golf swing.
  • Golf footwear design should incorporate findings on optimal plantar pressure zones to enhance stability and efficiency while mitigating injury risks.
  • Training programs should focus on balancing plantar pressure during key swing phases to improve kinetic chain efficiency and swing consistency.
