Cooke, M., Paradis, K. F., Sharp, L. A., Woods, D., Sarkar, M. “…Methods: Qualitative findings of six focus groups with coaches (two focus groups) and athletes (four focus groups) were comprised of four sports (association football, boxing, field hockey, and swimming). …”

Shu, Y., Cheng, Y. “…METHODS: The study employed the following methods: (1) Training session analysis: A comprehensive examination of both aquatic and land-based training regimens, including specific swimming training and perceived exertion ratings (RPE) reported by coaches and athletes, along with monitoring of blood biochemical markers. (2) Functional testing and morphological changes: Regular assessments were carried out to evaluate morphological indicators and physical capabilities such as power and strength (Vertical Jump and Pull-up Test), speed (30 Metre Sprint Test), coordination (Y-Balance Test) and endurance (3 km Run Test). (3) Competition technical analysis: A systematic comparison was made of Haiyang Qins technical performance at the Fukuoka Championships with his previous results, with a focus on biomechanical changes and performance enhancements. …”

Nolte, S., Quittmann, O. J. “…METHODS: We analyzed power data and television-based positional information from the 2020 male sprint triathlon World Championship event held in Hamburg. Specifically, we focused on five of the eight riders from the leading bike group, examining their power profiles and power distributions. …”

Marais, N., Morris-Eyton, H., Janse van Rensburg, N. “…Data were collected in the form of questionnaires, focus group discussions, and one-on-one interviews. …”

Sandbakk, Ø., Tønnessen, E., Sandbakk, S. B., Losnegard, T., Seiler, S., Haugen, T. “…Another common emerging feature was an emphasis on high volume of low-intensity training combined with 2-3 weekly "key workout" days consisting of 3-5 intensive training sessions. Finally, coaches across all sports focused on achieving high training quality by optimizing training sessions, systematically controlling the load-recovery balance, and ensuring optimal preparations for major competitions. …”

Cerrito, A., Wittwer, L., Schmitt, K.-U. “…Introduction: As a coach or health care professional working with physically active people, it can be difficult to guide runners towards safe and effective progression, because making changes to single aspects of running technique may not lead to the desired result. …”

Lipková, L., Struhár, I., Krajnák, J., Puda, D., Kumstát, M. “…Introduction: This review focuses exclusively on field-based critical speed (CS) tests for runners, aiming to evaluate key testing conditions to optimize field-based assessments and their practical applications. …”

Kullik, L., Kiel, A., Kellmann, M., Jakowski, S. “…The influence of menstruation on athletes represents a current topic of scientific research. Investigations focus not only on performance but also on assessing the effects on regeneration and well-being. …”

Agudo-Ortega, A., Sandbakk, Ø., Salinero, J. J., Johansen, B., González-Rave, J. M. “…Results The coaches used traditional periodization (45%) with a 10- to 15-day tapering phase (48%) that includes a reduction in volume, maintenance of intensity, and focus on correct technical execution. …”

Papadimitriou, K. “…However, further studies focusing on specific aspects of intensity and pace calculation within USRPT sets are needed for comprehensive understanding. …”

Fasczewski, K. S., Bramblett, P. N., Bobo, L. K., Peterman, J., Shanely, R. A. “…These interactions should be considered an important part of the coach-athlete relationship. For optimal athlete motivation and performance, coaches should focus on creating well-designed workouts that include detailed written information using supportive wording.…”
