Several studies have evaluated the most predictive discipline (swimming, cycling, and running) of performance in elite IRONMAN<jats:sup>®</jats:sup> triathletes. However, no study has ever determined the most decisive discipline for IRONMAN<jats:sup>®</jats:sup> age group triathletes. The present study analyzed the importance of the three disciplines on the overall race times in IRONMAN<jats:sup>®</jats:sup> ag...
The study aimed to examine the impact of high-intensity Small-Sided Games (SSGs) with coaches’ verbal encouragement (VE) on soccer players’ aerobic performance, mood state, satisfaction and subjective effort. Forty-three semi-professional male soccer players were randomly assigned to three distinct groups: a control group (CG, n = 14), an experimental group with verbal encouragement (EGVE, n = 14), and an exper...
Despite ongoing efforts, the relationship between groin strength and injury remains unclear. The challenge of accurately predicting injuries presents an opportunity for researchers to develop prevention strategies to reduce the occurrence of such injuries. Consequently, this issue requires further investigation to obtain insights into effective mitigation strategies. In 120 male soccer players, the maximum isom...
