Xiao, S., Liu, J. “…This review aims to drive the development of an intelligent prevention ecosystem which can not only improve the performance of Asian athletes but also protect their musculoskeletal health in the new era of sports medicine and athletics training.…”

Wang, G., Fuku, N., Miyamoto-Mikami, E., Tanaka, M., Miyachi, M., Murakami, H., Mitchell, B. D., Morrison, E., Ahmetov, I. I., Sportgene Research Group, Generozov, E. V., Filipenko, M. L., Gilep, A. A., Gineviciene, V., Moran, C. N., Venckunas, T., Cieszczyk, P., Derave, W., Papadimitriou, I., Garton, F. C., Padmanabhan, S., Pitsiladis, Y. P. “…We conducted a multi-phase genome-wide association study (GWAS) in world-class sprint and power athletes of West African and East Asian ancestry and their geographically matched controls. …”

Kotula, K., Loturco, I., Matusinski, A., Zajac, A., Maszczyk, A. “…This approach allowed us to ascertain whether there has been a consistent improvement in average performances among elite sprinters or whether progress is mainly due to extraordinary athletes who occasionally set new records. By analyzing these patterns, we aimed to understand the underlying factors contributing to advancements in sprint performance and to assess whether these improvements are widespread or concentrated among a few exceptional individuals. …”

Montoro, R., Sousa, P., Costa, A., Pinheiro, V., Sarmento, H., Rama, L.

Wei, P., Yuan, T., Gao, D., Han, D. “…This study aims to investigate the correlation between various physical fitness indicators and the performance of male elite jumping athletes. …”

Vandecauter, J., Van Vossel, K., Van de Casteele, F., Derave, W., Lievens, E. “…Therefore, the non-invasive measurement of MFTC can be seen as a new and valuable element in talent identification, identifying the ideal discipline for youth athletes around the age of 15 to 16 years. …”

Augustsson, S. R., Bergh, M., Petersson, K. “…Background Studies examining post-race emotional experiences in the context of endurance races among recreational athletes are scarce. …”

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. …”

Valero-Valenzuela, A., Hoyos Cuartas, L. A., Heredia-León, D. A., León-Guereño, P. “…Discussion: It is suggested to athletic trainers to use a PBA in athletics groups at a regional level to promote an ASITS and its positive consequences at both a psychosocial and cognitive level, although new studies are required, and of longer duration to be able to contrast these findings and their effects on athletic performance.…”

Shiraki, S., Kigoshi, K. “…The aim of the present study was to examine the availability of IPmax (maximal intermittent power) determined using a new IPmax test as an intensity index for intermittent sprint training. …”

Jusis, M., Paulauskas, R.

Kelemen, B., Benczenleitner, O., Toth, L.

Sim, A., Tan, H. Q., Ali, Y., Burns, S. F. “…However, other physiological markers and mood states appeared largely unaffected, aligning with existing literature indicating minimal disruption of physiological functions during acute LEA in male athletes. Study registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (Trial No.: 381278).…”

Johns, K. L., Potrac, P., Hayes, P. R. “…In contrast, there remains a paucity of literature exploring how coaches understand or think about their planning practices. The purpose of this study was to generate new knowledge regarding what information coaches actually consider within their planning processes and how they actually approach the task of planning. …”

Olsson, L. F., Glandorf, H. L., Black, J. F., Jeggo, R. E. K., Stanford, J. R., Drew, K. L., Madigan, D. J. “…However, to the best of our knowledge, empirical studies have yet to examine the relationship between athlete burnout and objective sport performance. …”

Foulkes, S. J., Haykowsky, M. J., Kistler, P. M., McConell, G. K., Trappe, S., Hargreaves, M., Costill, D. L., La Gerche, A. “…NEW & NOTEWORTHY: This life study of a 77-yr-old former world champion marathon runner exemplifies the impact of lifelong high-volume endurance exercise on functional capacity (Vo2max equivalent to a 20- to 29-yr-old), partly due to extreme ventricular remodeling that facilitates a large cardiac output during exercise despite reduced maximal heart rate. …”

Roy, T. K., Joyner, M. J., Senefeld, J. W., Wiggins, C. C., Secomb, T. W. “…The objective of this study is to derive mathematical equations that closely describe published data on world record running speed as a function of distance, age, and sex. …”

Augustsson, J., Gunhamn, T., Andersson, H. “…Data on the strength ratio between agonist and antagonist muscles are frequently examined in sports testing, given its correlation with athletic performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the agonist-to-antagonist ratio of upper body strength in female and male elite Swedish track and field throwers using a new push (bench press) and pull (supine bench row) test device, and to determine its reliability. …”

Barbry, A., Lerebourg, L., Racil, G., Jlid, M. C., Coquart, J. “…Introduction: Predict running performances is very important for athletes and trainers. Sport researchers have therefore developed certain tools to predict running performances, but only in non-obstacle races. …”

Mason, J., Starc, L., Morin, J.-B., McClelland, E. L., Zech, A. “…We overview the currently available evidence and highlight why the recent direction of AFT research provides a barrier to progress by focusing primarily on male athletes. We subsequently provide our perspective on why women may be benefiting from the new generation of shoes more than men, suggest potential mechanisms leading to hypotheses that need to be further investigated in upcoming studies, and finally propose that factors outside of footwear innovation may have concurrently driven the recently observed performance evolutions.…”
