APPLICABLE REMARKS
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.

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
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Current study showed support that 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 from carbohydrates, amino acid groups, electrolyte drinks, and caffeine. Among all, deep ocean water, carbohydrate-electrolyte, caffeine, nitrate, BCAA, and creatine were used to improve sports performance, while probiotic was focused on brain function and others to alter blood markers to the optimum level compared to baseline.
- Therefore, we claim that the supplement dosage should be based on body weight to give maximum effects to football players.

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
- 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.
