Abstract (2748 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (559 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • The conducted research complements the literature and provides a scientific, theoretical, and practical insight into women's football, addressing a gap compared to the extensive research on male players.
  • HIIT training with a turn is better than HIIT training without turns in terms of aerobic power. In this way, new scientific knowledge will be obtained.
  • The study provides relevant information about two types of training that will be carried out without combining them with any other training, providing a clear picture of the concrete effects of these pieces of training.

Abstract (1364 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (344 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • Affective and enjoyment responses were improved after a few sessions of outdoor-based HIIE in overweight and obese adults.
  • Outdoor-based HIIE promotes excellent cardiorespiratory fitness and body fat percentage improvement over a 10-week intervention in overweight and obese adults.

XML L-Carnitine Supplementation and Moderate-Intensity Exercise Enhanced Bone Metabolism Markers and Muscular Performance in Individuals with Overweight and Obesity
Norsuriani Samsudin , Nur Syamsina Ahmad * , Foong Kiew Ooi , Azidah Abdul Kadir , Nur Karyatee Kassim
Abstract (3077 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (1766 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • The current study supports the importance of exercise and L-carnitine supplements, whether taken alone or combined, in preventing bone loss.
  • Interestingly, the combination of L-carnitine and exercise group expressed the highest peak torque and average power at 60o/s and 300o/s.
  • Therefore, we claim that the active compound in the L-carnitine supplement positively affects bone and muscular performance in combination with brisk walking and interval exercise training.

XML Impact of Aerobic, Resistance, and Combined Training on Blood Pressure in Patients with Chronic Diseases: A Narrative Review
Nouf H. Alkhamees , Sameer Badri AL-Mhanna , Gerasimos V. Grivas , Yuni Astuti , Norsuhana Omar * , Hafeez Abiola Afolabi , Bishir Daku Abubakar , Khalid Mohamed , Alexios Batrakoulis
Abstract (2226 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (465 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • The study demonstrates that both aerobic and resistance training, when performed consistently, can effectively lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with chronic conditions, emphasizing the potential of exercise therapy in managing cardiovascular risk factors.
  • Aerobic exercise, in particular, significantly reduces systemic vascular resistance, making it a viable non-pharmacological intervention for patients with metabolic syndrome and those at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
  • Combining aerobic and circuit-based resistance training over 12 weeks was particularly beneficial in reducing mean arterial pressure, especially in individuals with pre- and stage-1 hypertension and type 2 diabetes.
  • These findings reinforce the importance of integrating structured exercise programs into the treatment plans for hypertensive patients, offering a complementary approach to traditional pharmacological treatments to manage blood pressure better and mitigate cardiovascular risks.

XML Post-Activation Performance Enhancement of Croatian Track and Field Athletes
Hrvoje Ajman * , Atila Salaj , Zoran Špoljarić
Abstract (1196 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (290 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • The measurements of the maximal voluntary contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle protocol showed a small but insignificant improvement in the jump height after the protocol was implemented. With the maximum isometric half-squat protocol, the measurements showed a small but statistically insignificant regression in the results. No single protocol is more effective than the other.
  • All jump height measurements were made in the Kinovea program, which has been repeatedly proven reliable and valid. Although Kinovea is a reliable tool for this kind of measurement, the quality of the analyzed video also plays a significant role. The recommendation for future research would be to set the camera settings to more than 240 frames per second when recording the subjects' attempts.
