Barlow, M. J., Ross, C., Cockrell, R., Rubie, M., Cahill, H., Robertson, C., French, J., Elia, A. “…Purpose This study aimed to determine whether a series of repeated maximal voluntary apnoeas is effective in improving subsequent time trial performance in competitive level track and field athletes. …”

Yoshimoto, T., Chiba, Y., Mizukubo, S., Sato, K., Ohnuma, H., Takai, Y. “…In the 200 m sprint, it remains unclear whether modifying pacing distribution can lead to improved performance. This study aimed to address this question through three approaches: (1) cross-sectional analysis of world-class sprinters, (2) longitudinal analysis of an elite Japanese sprinter, and (3) an intervention involving pacing strategy modification for that sprinter. …”

Kudo, S., Yanai, T., Matsuda, Y. “…This study introduced power generated by underwater strokes as a crucial factor for assessing front crawl performance in the stroke phases and identified key segmental rotations that lead to the increased that power and, consequently, improved performance.…”

Shi, J. “…These findings emphasize the necessity of designing rehabilitation protocols based on fencing`s unique demands, providing a practical model for clinicians, coaches, and sports organizations to improve fencers` health and maintain their competitive performance.…”

Kettunen, O., Mikkola, J., Ihalainen, J. K. “…Purpose: To investigate if elite endurance athletes periodized their body mass (BM) and composition from preparation (T1) to specific preparation period (T2) and if changes in BM and body composition were associated with improved endurance performance. Methods: Fifty-two elite endurance athletes participated in this study. …”

Roa, J. E., Arias, N. D., Gaviria, J., Orejuela, D. F., Rojas-Padilla, I. C. “…Five classification models (LDA, KNN, CART, NB, and SVM) were tested, the Decision Tree being the one that obtained the best performance after being optimized with Grid Search. …”

López-Plaza, D., Alacid, F., Abellán-Aynés, O., Quero-Calero, C. D. “…Results Menarche-based differences were identified in handgrip strength, 10 m underwater from push, and sprint performance in the second year (P < 0.05), with menarcheal girls showing greater improvements in these attributes throughout the year. …”

Imanian, B., Hemmatinafar, M., Maymandinejad, I., Binazade, M. R., Jäger, R., Jahan, Z., Naseri, K., Rezaei, R., Suzuki, K. “…Any reference to gut-muscle-axis modulation is hypothesis-generating, as stool sequencing and metabolite profiling were not performed. Larger, sex-inclusive trials incorporating in-water, stroke-embedded assessments and microbiome/metabolomic profiling are warranted.…”

Sprenger, H. M. L., van Biljouw, T., Bentley, D. J. “…Purpose: We evaluated the feasibility of individualized sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) supplementation and its physiological effects on simulated artistic swimming duet performance, including blood buffering responses, perceived exertion, gastrointestinal (GI) tolerance, and performance scores. …”

Wu, Y., Zhang, H., Wang, S., Lu, C., Xing, Q., Tian, Y., He, D., Sun, L., Shen, Y. “…Subjectively, across all participants, foam-only spikes were rated more comfortable and more cushioned, whereas perceived performance did not differ between models. Conclusion: At long-distance race paces, foam-only AFT spikes improved RE and were perceived as more comfortable than a plate-integrated spike in national-level athletes. …”

Yu, S., Zhou, S., Peng, D., Jie, D. “…The CT group exhibited superior improvements in CMJ peak power (p = 0.010), DJ performance (p = 0.017), and RSI (p < 0.001). …”

Muzeau, M., Flood, A., Tam, N., Abel, B., Saunders, P., Staiano, W., Rattray, B. “…Advanced footwear technologies (AFT) improve road running performance. AFT have been incorporated into trail running footwear despite little evidence of their benefits in this context. …”

Rezaei, H., Gheitasi, M., Hosseini, S. M. “…Conclusion Corrective exercises were effective in improving postural alignment, range of motion, and shoulder pain symptomatology, but did not significantly affect swimming performance. …”

Bayati, A., Sadeghi, H., Yousefian Molla, R. “…Furthermore, when designing an annual training schedule, it is essential to consider gender differences and tailor workouts to the distinct strengths, abilities, and characteristics of each gender to improve performance in competition.…”
