Barsumyan, A., Soost, C., Burchard, R. “…The aim of this study was to quantify durability in well-trained age-group cycling athletes using home-based test measures, identify durability as an important predictor of endurance performance, and provide practical recommendations for improving durability through training. …”

Sandbakk, Ø., Tønnessen, E., Sandbakk, S. B., Losnegard, T., Seiler, S., Haugen, T. “…The study design included: (1) an extensive, email-administered and Word™-based questionnaire related to training characteristics at the macro-, meso-, micro-, and session-level; (2) cross-referencing data with historically reported training logs from successful athletes; (3) in-depth and semi-structured in-person interviews with each coach; (4) a review process among authors and coaches. …”

Mancera-Soto, E., Garzon, M., Comtois, A. S., Millet, G. P. “…Among various factors, the importance of total hemoglobin mass (tHbmass) and the potential benefits of being an altitude-native athlete remain unclear, particularly in young categories. …”

Sushchenko, V. P., Lukashevich, D. A., Guseynov, D. I. “…The results obtained allow us to draw logical conclusions about the possibility of using «motion capture» systems to obtain accurate data characterizing the features of the kinematic parameters of pedaling, without affecting the biomechanical structure of the athlete`s movements. The use of new approaches in the study of kinematic characteristics of pedaling will improve the efficiency of monitoring the technical readiness of highly qualified cyclists.…”

Gough, L. A., Sparks, S. A. “…Background A new commercially available sodium bicarbonate (SB) supplement claims to limit gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort and increase extracellular buffering capacity. …”

Pion, J., Teunissen, J. W. “…A better connection between schools and sports clubs can prevent sports dropouts and increase talent pools. For this purpose, a new project was set-up in which schools, sports clubs and municipalities work together to support talent detection/orientation among adolescents in three sports: athletics, volleyball and cycling. …”

Sondt, N., Bernier, M., Kermarrec, G., Vacher, P. “…Discussion These results offer a better understanding of the links between mindfulness, as a disposition or a state, and stress-recovery balance. The study brings new applied and research perspectives. …”

Solaro, N., Pagani, M., Spataro, A., Lucini, D.

Vasquez-Bonilla, A. A., González-Custodio, A., Timón, R., Olcina, G. “…Purpose Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensors measure muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) as a performance factor in endurance athletes. The objective of this study is to delimit metabolic thresholds relative to maximal metabolic steady state (MMSS) using SmO2 in cyclists. …”

Zak, M., Mikrut, G., Sobota, G. “…The most commonly used reaction time tests within the athlete community require appropriate testing conditions and equipment, most frequently laboratory ones, which are not suitable for testing athletes in their natural environment and do not fully represent athletes` natural capabilities and the influence of the surrounding environment. …”

Sabau, A. M., Pantea, C. L., Damian, M. “…The paper is based on the hypothesis that the differences and similarities in the way of conducting rhythmic gymnastics competitions according to the internal regulations of Romania and Austria, respectively the differences between the 2 Olympic cycles 2012-2016 and 2017-2021 may influence the results of athletes practicing this discipline. Objectives. The paper aims to study the internal rules in rhythmic gymnastics of the 2 countries, Romania and Austria according to the specifics of the Olympic cycles, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the 2 technical training systems, presented and comparing the results obtained by athletes in the last two Olympic cycles in the two countries. …”

Ausland, Â., Sandberg, E. L., Jostveit, J., Seiler, S.

Zamora Solé, R. “…Methods: Eight elite athletes from a high-performance center in preparation for Tokyo 2020 (6 female and 2 male) took part in this longitudinal qualitative study. …”

Meyer, F., Lund-Hansen, M., Seeberg, T.M., Kocbach, J., Sandbakk, Ø., Austeng, A. “…Objective: The aim of this study was to provide a new machine learning method to determine temporal events and inner-cycle parameters (e.g., cycle, pole and ski contact and swing time) in cross-country roller-ski skating on the field, using a single inertial measurement unit (IMU). …”

Soligard, T., Palmer, D., Steffen, K., Lopes, A. D., Grek, N., Onishi, K., Shimakawa, T., Grant, M.-E., Mountjoy, M., Budgett, R., Engebretsen, L. “…Marathon and artistic swimming presented the highest illness incidences (both 8%), followed by skateboarding and karate (both 7%). In the study period, COVID-19 affected 18 athletes, accounting for 4% of all illnesses and 0.16% of all athletes. …”

Izem, O., Mourot, L., Tordi, N., Grandperrin, A., Obert, P., Rupp, T., Nottin, S. “…Basal rotation and peak untwisting rate responded faster and to a greater extent in the cyclists. This study provides new mechanical insights into the key role of LV untwisting in the more efficient acute cardiac response of endurance-trained athletes at onset of exercise.…”

Mostaert, M., Vansteenkiste, P., Pion, J., Deconinck, F. J. A., Lenoir, M. “…Future non-achievers experience a significant decrease in success rate when transitioning to a new competition category.…”
