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. …”

Russomanno, T. “…This means professional swimmers start and finish fast, maintaining a relatively consistent speed with minor fluctuations in between. This study investigates the use of a Random Forest model to predict final race times based on athletes heat times and pace strategy. …”

Shang, M., Cheng, Y. “…These achievements highlight the fact that competing and excelling in multiple events has become a new competitive trend. This study delves into the migration of Chinese swimmers ability to compete in a single short- and middle-distance event, and promotes multi-event participation and multidimensional skill enhancement in swimmers, which is believed to enhance the overall competitiveness and depth of talent in the sport. …”

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. …”

Reichel, F. “…The findings contribute to the understanding of race strategy optimization (metabolic costs), offering new insights for endurance athletes, race organizers and regulation au thorities. …”

Wei, X., Wang, N., Pu, R., Chmura, P., Krustrup, P. “…Objective This study aimed to explore the changing characteristics of running performance before and after extra time matches (ET) at the World Cup under new substitution rules and in special seasonal periods. …”

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. …”

Kyriakidou, G., Tsalis, G., Evaggelinou, C. “…This study aimed to ascertain whether there were any differences in anthropometrics, heart rate, and swimming performance parameters in athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID) before and after a three-month training break. …”

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.…”

Hamer, J., Desbrow, B., Irwin, C., Shaw, G., Disher, A., Alexiou, H. “…The process evaluation findings indicated that coaches found numerous aspects of the workshop valuable, including the case study approach, resources for consolidation of learning and discussions around the challenges they may experience when managing athletes at risk. …”

Ruiz-Alias, S. A., Ñancupil-Andrade, A. A., Pérez-Castilla, A., García-Pinillos, F. “…Highlights Recent advances in wearable technology are creating new opportunities to accurately monitor running intensity in contexts where precision is essential (i.e., track running) for athletes' (e.g., pacing) and coaches' (e.g., performance analysis) tasks. …”

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).…”

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. …”

Standoli, J. P., Candela, V., Bonifazi, M., Gumina, S. “…Context Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) may affect overhead athletes and contribute to shoulder injury. Objectives To assess data on passive shoulder range of motion (ROM) in young elite swimmers and to determine the prevalence of anatomical and pure GIRD (aGIRD and pGIRD, respectively) in a large sample size of asymptomatic elite swimmers with a new classification method. …”

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. …”
