Eating disorders risk assessment and body esteem among elite polish contact karate athletes
Dobkowska-Szefer, D., Staskiewicz-Bartecka, W., Kiciak, A., Kardas, M.Published in Frontiers in Nutrition (2025)“…Sex differences emerged: women scored higher on EAT-26 Part A (p=0.021) and reported lower body-esteem in sexual attractiveness and weight control, whereas men most often reported medium physical attractiveness with frequent low ratings for upper-body strength/physical condition. In women, higher body-esteem correlated with lower EAT-26 totals, and EAT-26 correlated positively with DOS-PL (r=0.367, p=0.036); these associations were not observed in men. …”

Unilateral and bilateral load-velocity relationships in athletes: evidence from a study in boxers
Han, Y., Xie, Y., Niu, Z., Jia, J., Zhang, Z.Published in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living (2025)“…Participants performed three repetitions at 30%-70% predicted 1RM, two repetitions at 75%-90% predicted 1RM, and one repetition at 95%-100% predicted 1RM, with a 10-second rest between repetitions and a 5-minute rest between load conditions. Results: We found a close relationship between MV and relative load (%1RM) in both BSS and BS exercises for the non-dominant legs (coefficient of determination; R2 = 0.94, standard error of estimate; SEE = 0.05 m·s-1), dominant legs (R2 = 0.94, SEE = 0.05 m·s-1), and back-squat (R2 = 0.95, SEE = 0.05 m·s-1), reflecting a nearly perfect relationship as per standard interpretations of coefficient strength. …”

Comparative study on the PAP effects of squat jump and heavy load back squat on vertical jump performance in wrestling athletes
Manying, R., Yuchen, W.Published in 29th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science, 2-5 July 2024, Book of Abstracts (2024)“…INTRODUCTION: Heavy load squat[1,2]and light load plyometrics training[3] are two common conditioning strategies to elicit PAP response. Although previous studies supporting the notion that both heavy weight resistance training and plyometric training can elicit the PAP effect, to our best knowledge, very few studies have directly compared the effects between these 2 types of conditioning activities. …”
