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
  • Muscles move and feel sensations under the control of nerves. Therefore, when musculoskeletal pain occurs, applying interventions that allow the muscles to move smoothly helps relieve pain.
  • This study confirmed the effect of reducing pain by using the shoulder joint muscles of subjects experiencing adhesive capsulitis.

XML A Systematic Review of Effective Warm-Up Programs to Enhance Fente Performance and Prevent Hip Injuries in Fencing
Soo-Won Uh , Jung-Hwan Kim , Cheol-Jung Yang *
Abstract (3652 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (2103 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
See the Video Summary of this Paper on YouTube, and also the Infographic Summary on LinkedIn and X (Twitter): 
                    
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • This study can be compared to previous studies that effectively provided warm-up exercises to perform fente, an attack movement in fencing.
  • Training the knee flexors through extensor contraction improves the performance of fente, and it is important to perform an active warm-up that focuses on the muscles used in fencing rather than a passive warm-up to prevent fencing injuries.

  • There are significant differences in mental health between males and females. Males' mental health is better than that of females.


XML Physical Competence in Thai Schoolchildren Aged 10–12 Years: A Cross-Sectional Comparison of Rural and Urban School Contexts Using CAPL-2
Raweewan Maphong , Charinthip Manyuen , Sonthaya Sriramatr *
Abstract (1809 Views) | Full-Text (PDF) (660 Downloads)   |   Highlights
 
See the Video Summary of this Paper on YouTube, and also the Infographic Summary on LinkedIn and X (Twitter): 
                    
 
APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • Rural schools can build on their strengths by incorporating structured active play sessions and fundamental movement skill programs into the school day, further enhancing PACER and CAMSA performance. Urban schools, where space is limited, should adopt space-efficient PE strategies such as station-based circuits, motor skill games in multipurpose spaces, and core-strength routines, supported by targeted teacher training to optimize delivery.
  • At the policy level, integrating PL benchmarks into the national PE curriculum and routinely assessing students with standardized tools such as CAPL-2 will enable schools to monitor progress, address gaps, and implement evidence-based strategies. These actions can lead to measurable improvements in physical competence and contribute to lifelong healthy activity habits.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • This study pointed out that teacher education institutions should consider hybrid curriculum models (70% PE specialisation, 30% interdisciplinary skills) to balance professional identity with workforce adaptability.
  • Policymakers may integrate interdisciplinary modules (e.g., health education, ICT, collaborative teaching) into PE programs to improve graduate employability without sacrificing disciplinary expertise.
  • Employers and schools should recognise the strengths and limitations of single-subject versus dual-subject trained teachers when designing recruitment and staffing strategies.
