APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Heat acclimatisation is an avenue for athletes in competitive sports in hot environments to understand and improve their performance, reduce the risk of heat-induced illness, and even improve better quality of athletes lives. Sports federations and trainers should encourage athletes to participate in HA programs to avail them of quality adaptation and know the dos and don'ts of the program. Hence, HA programs should include gradual exposure to hot environments, both with and without exercise.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Determination of the exact number, severity, and type of injuries that appear in the highest rank of football in Croatia is data that wasn't known until now, and it can be used for a better understanding of injury prevention and reduce the number of them. In addition to the number, severity, and type of injuries, based on the results of the players' attitude towards injuries and the use of prevention programs, the results of the study can further develop the existing prevention programs that are used or propose the creation of own programmes based on the results. Another practical implication of the results with applicable remarks is definitely additional education of all medical and sports staff which is needed for all participants in the football game in order to make the implementation of prevention programs easier, more precise, and more productive.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- The scientific contribution of this work is in favor of the fact that additional plyometric training lasting 15 minutes 4 times a week does not significantly affect the increase in RPE and wellness, therefore it can be concluded that low-volume training that has an effect on increasing fitness abilities in football players will not significantly increase the experience of psychological and physiological stress. Daily monitoring of the subjective feeling of load is a good and important tool for controlling athletes. This especially applies to younger athletes because it is an extremely effective tool that is available to everyone and does not require financial expenses. Educated experts in the field of strength and conditioning of athletes can monitor and plan the activities of their athletes in a simple and effective way using RPE and wellness questionary.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- It should be taken into consideration that intrinsic motivation is an important variable in recreational participation, and at the same time, recreation experience preference is also a significant factor. Therefore, it can be ensured that recreation programs can be organized in this direction by evaluating the relevant variables in different recreational field participation.
- In addition, the effects of recreation experience preference and intrinsic motivation on each other and the relationship between them can be investigated with different sample groups.
- Studies can be expanded by conducting similar research in different geographical locations.
- At the same time, in addition to the quantitative research method, qualitative data can be obtained and the perspectives of the participants can be included by obtaining their opinions in the study.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Research results show that it is beneficial to use less duration and number of repetitions of static stretching exercises and more dynamic stretching exercises in the applied warm-up protocols.
- It can be said that individual warm-up exercises combined with a short-term high-intensity warm-up protocol, as opposed to the traditional 45-minute warm-up protocol, increase the vertical jump performance of women volleyball players.
- Short-term high-intensity warm-up protocol is the best warm-up protocol to acutely improve vertical jump height in women volleyball players, when compared to traditional warm-up protocol and when each one is applied by itself.
- It is thought that a short-term high-intensity warm-up protocol has a positive effect on vertical jump height and that including it in warm-up programs in sports where vertical jump is a performance criterion may have positive effects.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
- The study confirms that both the Biodex dynamometer and Vicon motion capture system are reliable tools for assessing individual quadriceps muscle strength in sedentary males, with the Biodex showing consistent reliability across frequencies and the Vicon excelling at higher frequencies. These methods should be further developed and standardized for longitudinal tracking and targeted rehabilitation programs, particularly for addressing muscle-specific strength deficits and imbalances that can occur from fatigue and injury. This reliability supports their broader application in various populations and clinical settings.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Effectiveness of Physical Activity: The review highlights that various forms of physical exercise significantly improve the QOL in cancer patients, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and CRF. These benefits extend across different types of cancer and stages of treatment, emphasizing the broad applicability of exercise as a supportive care measure.
- Cancer-related fatigue: The study specifically points out that physical activity plays a crucial role in mitigating CRF, a common and debilitating symptom experienced by cancer patients. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce fatigue levels, thereby enhancing patients' overall well-being and functional capacity.
- Types of Exercises: The review discusses a range of exercise interventions, including AE, RT, and flexibility exercises. These interventions, whether conducted at home or in hospital settings, have been found effective in improving QOL and reducing fatigue among cancer patients.
