APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- The research fills a literature gap and offers a scientific, theoretical, and practical contribution to women's football.
- HIIT training with directional changes and HIIT training without directional changes are practical for enhancing motor abilities, specifically agility.
- When implemented independently, the study delivers relevant information about these two types of training, offering a clear understanding of their specific effects.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- The research complements existing literature and makes significant contributions to women's football, an area previously dominated by studies on male players.
- It highlights that both linear and change of direction (COD) HIIT protocols enhance ball-specific agility almost equally, although linear HIIT shows slightly higher applicability in certain areas, possibly due to better starting conditions in the COD group.
- Both HIIT programs can be effectively integrated into the physical conditioning of female football players.
- Understanding the impact of various HIIT training methods on specific motor abilities is essential for optimizing athletic performance and overall well-being. Coaches and sports scientists can use these insights to develop tailored training programs, enhancing performance and reducing injury risks.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
- IMUs were reliable for measuring joint angles in the sagittal and frontal planes, particularly for the knee, but showed limitations in the transverse plane, especially for ankle movements.
- Accurate sensor placement and secure attachment were essential for improving IMU measurement precision, especially during high-speed movements.
- MUs offer practical advantages for field applications due to their portability and real-time data capabilities, making them valuable for dynamic movement analysis in sports and clinical settings.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- This study pointed to many important observations that can be applied in the future, including conducting research similar to the percentage of nicotine in the blood and its relationship to the characteristic strength of speed and also conducting such research to be a deterrent to some smokers to quit smoking. The researcher also recommends conducting a cotinine examination for students before admission to the physical education and sports sciences faculties. It is a prerequisite for admission to non-smokers exclusively, raising students ' awareness to indicate the harms of smoking and urge to quit it and conducting a comprehensive examination to all students, whether within the College or university, despite the high cost of these tests, This motivates them and urges them to quit smoking, but important to identify the harms of smoking. Training programs must adopt strategies to encourage athletes to avoid smoking and adopt a healthy lifestyle to improve their performance. In addition, he conducted longitudinal prospective research studies to examine the long-term effects of smoking on sports performance for large samples and experimental and control groups.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Recreational badminton benefits cardiovascular fitness and mobility, but may not be sufficient for significant lipid profile improvements.
- To optimize cholesterol management, older adults should incorporate aerobic endurance training alongside playing badminton.
- Sports and fitness programs for older adults should include both intermittent and continuous aerobic exercises to maximize metabolic health benefits.
- Healthcare professionals and fitness trainers should encourage holistic lifestyle modifications, integrating exercise with dietary counselling to enhance lipid metabolism.
- Future studies should explore the long-term effects of badminton combined with endurance training and the role of genetic predisposition in lipid metabolism responses.
Effects of Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome on Hand Grip Strength in Physiotherapists: An Anatomical Evaluation

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- The findings of this study highlight the impact of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) on musculoskeletal performance, particularly hand grip strength, in physiotherapists. A significant reduction in left-hand grip strength was observed in individuals recovering from COVID-19, suggesting a possible compensatory overuse of the dominant hand during the post-acute phase. These results underscore the importance of incorporating bilateral strength assessments and targeted rehabilitation protocols into post-COVID recovery programs for healthcare professionals. Functional recovery appears feasible in commonly used muscle groups, but strength imbalances may persist. Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation specialists should consider evaluating grip strength and muscle symmetry as part of routine post-COVID functional assessments, even in young and active populations.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Neuromuscular Priming for Swim Training: Incorporating short EMS sessions before swim workouts can enhance lower limb muscle activation, promoting improved propulsion and stroke efficiency without increasing injury risk.
- Injury Prevention Strategy: For beginners susceptible to overuse injuries, particularly in the shoulder and lower limb regions, EMS provides a low-impact method for strength development and muscular balance restoration.
- Performance Consistency Enhancement: Coaches may utilize EMS to reduce intra-individual performance variability, thereby improving athletes’ pacing control and psychological confidence in competitive settings.
- Adherence and Motivation Tool: Measurable progress achieved through EMS can boost motivation and training adherence among youth athletes, particularly those struggling with early-stage performance stagnation.
- Scalability and Accessibility: Given its affordability and user-friendly interface, the EMS Butterfly device offers a feasible and scalable intervention for community swim programs, especially in resource-limited settings.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Development of motor performance and accuracy of shooting in handball: the training program aims to improve motor response using interactive exercises supported by technology (such as placebos), while tracking progress with accurate measuring devices. Such training includes dynamic balance exercises to enhance the stability of the center of gravity and techniques to improve the optimal knee angle (90-110°) using jumps. Players are also trained to control elbow and wrist angles (90-120°) to improve aiming accuracy through guided exercises and kinesthetic analysis tools.
