Objectives. — Muscle oxygenation capacity is a metabolic component that can influence thebilateral strength asymmetry. This study measured the muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) during aprotocol of high-intensity Results. — Greater average peak torque were found in the DL of the knee extensor muscles (DL:157 ± 28 vs. NDL: 148 ± 25; P = 0.028). Similarly, a SmO2difference (DL: 11.7 ± 10.1 vs. NDL:16.3 ± 13.2; P = 0...
Abstracts 2nd Annual Summit of the Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC).
This study aimed to compare under-18 association football players’ performance (age = 17.7±1.0 years; playing experience = 9.0 ± 3.2 years) when manipulating the number of teammates and opponents during football game-based practices. Time-motion, individual and tactical-related variables were monitored when manipulating conditions with different number of teammates and opponents (11vs11, No-Sup, No-Inf; 11vs12,...
This study aimed to characterize the passing patterns that support collective tactical behaviour in football players of different ages (U15, U17, and U19) in different field zones. Two hundred and twenty-eight male players, divided into U15, U17, and U19, participated in the study. Cluster analysis was used to group the passes into three sizes (short, medium, and long). The chi-square test was used to analyse t...
This study explored how the number of allowed ball touches per player possession affected the performance of different age groups (U9, U11, U13, U15, U17 and U19) during a Gk + 4vs4+Gk small-sided games. Each day, players randomly performed the following three conditions (for a total of 6 days): i) free-play (FP); ii) maximum of 2 touches (2 T); iii) 1 touch (1 T). Players’ positional data was used to compute t...
The main objective of this research is to examine the interrelationships between job attitudes in the sports sector.Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest databaseswere used to find 3,844 studies. Three data sets were formed regarding the surveyed relationships. The data sets regarding these relationships included 5622, 3716, and 3798 subjects consecutively. According to the meta-analysis technique, the Comprehen...
The aim of the study was to quantify the individual player area (IPA)that emerges during football matches at youth levels, consideringdifferent numerical relations and pitch zones. Two hundred andtwenty-eight players, divided by U15, U17 and U19, participated inthe study. Jonckheete-Terpstra and Kruskal Wallis nonparametrictests were used to compare the IPA according to variations inplayers’ age, numerical rela...
Team-lines structures are particular subsystems determined strategically by the formation chosen by the team coach, and despite its relevance, no study has analyzed training effects on tactical behavior based on team lines. This study aimed to assess the effects of modified games playing freely and introducing artificial rules on tactical behavior based on team lines during the team-possession game phase in two...
Objectives: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is a complex disease that is mainly characterised by chronic pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances and may be precipitated or worsened by many stressors. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of respiratory muscle training (RMT) on respiratory efficiency and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with FM. Methods: A total of 30 women with FM were includ...
Objective: Anaerobic work capacity (AWC) is understood as the maximum power that the athlete can withstand over time, conditioned by high intensity effort and it is important to interpret it for the performance improvement. In addition, the muscle oxygen saturation (SmO 2) provides information on muscle metabolism and hemodynamics. Likewise, critical oxygenation (CO) is the highest metabolic rate that results i...
