Prolonged intermittent-sprint exercise (i.e., team sports) induce disturbances in skeletal muscle structure and function that are associated with reduced contractile function, a cascade of inflammatory responses, perceptual soreness, and a delayed return to optimal physical performance. In this context, recovery from exercise-induced fatigue is traditionally treated from a peripheral viewpoint,...

Athletes often train or compete in athletic events that significantly reduce muscle and liver glycogen reserves. Carbohydrate ingestion before or during endurance exercise enhances performance by maintaining blood glucose levels and carbohydrate utilization. Also, an adequate intake of carbohydrate following endurance exercise helps to restore muscle and liver glycogen. This paper reviews the p...

The authors sought to determine how different elements of enrichment, for example, cognitive stimulation and voluntary exercise, differ in their ability to improve memory throughout the lifespan. Young, middle-aged, and aged female C57BL/6 mice received 24-hr exposure in their home cages to toys alone (cognitive stimulation), running wheels alone (exercise), or both toys and running wheels (com...

Objective: This study aimed to Prepare an educational program based on the overlap and the integration of the random exercise method with the variable exercise method and the intensive exercise method adapted to the capabilities of the research sample and Recognize the effect of the educational program on developing the skill performance and scoring accuracy of the research sample in the futsal...

PURPOSE Observation of a model performing fast exercise improves simultaneous exercise performance; however, the precise mechanism underpinning this effect is unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the speed of the observed exercise influenced both upper body exercise performance and the activation of a cortical action observation network (AON). METHOD In Experiment ...

BACKGROUND Performing exercise in thermally stressful environments impairs exercise capacity and performance. Cooling during exercise has the potential to attenuate detrimental increases in body temperature and improve exercise capacity and performance. OBJECTIVE The objective of this review was to assess the effectiveness of practical cooling strategies applied during continuous exercise in ...

Recovery strategies are commonly utilised in team sports despite limited scientific evidence to support their effectiveness in facilitating optimal recovery. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of selected recovery procedures on intermittent-sprint exercise performance (simulating netball) repeated on consecutive days with 24 h recovery. Ten female netball players performed a fam...
