Does vitamin D have remarkable effects on athletes' performance?
Which performance does vitamin D improve for athletes?
What performance is significantly enhanced by vitamin D intake?
We are interested on the study of the effect of Small Sided and conditioned games (SSCG´s) on strength and injuries in football.
There are too much studies related to aerobic and anaerobic effects of this game-based teaching and training methodology.
However, there are few references related to this topic and strength of lower limb muscles and prevention of injuries.
Any interesting reference you could suggest?
Thanks a lot.

I believe atherosclerosis develops over a long period of time and is accelerated by atherogenic diet and physical inactivity. If both these factors are reversed, there should be a possibility to aid plaque regression. Would appreciate any evidence or counter - evidence in this regard
What types of exercises and training variables (volume, intensity, repetitions, frequency, exercise selection, exercise order, and rest) are recommended for patients with Multiple sclerosis (MS)?
Hamstring strain injuries are very common in sport at all levels .They lead to significant costs, as well as an increased future risk of other injuries. So, it is important to realize which exercises are the most beneficial ones.
Hello everybody
I am doing my thesis in Exercises Science at the University of Padua.
I would like to know if anyone has been researching on health promotion through sport in the developmental period.
Than the promotion of sport in schools.
Thanks
Physical fitness is essential to allow people to carry out everyday activities. It is often particularly low in stroke survivors. It may limit their ability to perform everyday activities and also worsen any stroke-related disability. So, it is recommended that seniors do exercises in order to improve cognitive function, quality of life, and the ability to maintain physical activity. On the other hand, other researchers say that training programs increase the risk of having another stroke.
Dear colleagues,
pre-registration is a key element in open science practice. There are several options on the market for pre-registering an intended research project. I wonder if there is a tendency towards a specific pre-registration platform for exercise science research. For sports psychology it seems to be OSF, but I could not identify a preference for exercise science studies.
What do you think is the most used pre-registration platform for exercise science research and/or which one would you recommend for this field of science?
Cheers

Currently working on literature regarding the effects of cooling on MS patients.
Effects on physical performances, balance, cognitive impairments and patients' comfort.
I've already read the Meyer-Heim article ublished on 2007(Multiple Sclerosis, 2007; 13: 232-237), and Nilsagard's article (Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology, September 2006; 1(4): 225 – 233).
I'm actually trying to find alternate references that could i) increase my understanding in physiological rationales of those enhancement; ii) lead my team research on a "ideal" cooling intervention (avoiding thermal discomfort while getting improvement)
I am looking for information for the last 100 or 50 years on measurable sporting performance (for example: in athletics, swimming, cycling, rowing and the like) for competitors aged 40+, 50+, 60+, 70+ etc to answer the question: Has the physical performance of the elderly changed over the last 100 or 50 years?
Results for London etc marathons provide times and ages since the 1980s, but that is one activity and just 35 years.
Is there more information?
Many thanks.

Their is need to understand the safety and efficacy of exercise therapy on cancer treatment–induced cardiovascular toxicity and tumor progression and metastasis in oncology practice, this can be achieved by having a fundamental knowledge of exercise prescription, dosing and personalization with regards to cancer treatment and according to global best practices.
Staining 10um cross sections with PAS and immunofluorescent (for fiber type, cell membrane). Need assistance with imaging/ analysis.
Does anyone work with tensiomyography in the sports and exercise sciences, especially to evaluate the effects of different intervention programs on skeletal muscle tissue?
I wonder how different this equipment would be from an electromyograph.
I am trying to develop a study abroad class in Havana, Cuba, for my undergraduate Exercise Science & Wellness students. I think it would be a great way to expose them to a very different way of assessing and training athletes, general population and people with chronic disease. Does anybody know who might be willing to host a 2-week long course of about 8-12 students?
some athletes follow the paleolithic diet. paleolithic diet also known as caveman diet. in this diet you have to eat like of a caveman. what is your idea about this diet? can this diet increase the athletic performance? can anyone explain about the aspect of health of this diet?
elite bodybuilders have different condition compare to other resistance athletes. they have more muscle, they lift more heavy weight. they use the various training system for more stimulation and damage of muscle fiber. so I thinks some recommended protein intake in some research does not appropriate for elite bodybuilders. what's your idea ? how much protein need for bodybuilders in each meal?
can someone explain about of effect of this both training model on muscle activation and muscle damage? moreover what effect they have on the muscle hypertrophy?
Hello,
my name is Antonio and I'm a graduate in health and physical activity (University of Rome Foro Italico).
I and my group are looking for:
- medical doctor (oncologist) as advised, or
- medical center as partner, or
- University as partner, or
- Research center as partner
... of a project called Ne.Mo. which consists in a mobile app (with an integrated AI system) aimed to improve cognitive functioning of breast cancer patients, and contrast the cancer-related cognitive impairment (also known as chemobrain), by using personalized physical exercise program.
Currently, all the main world organizations related to cancer reccomand physical exercise as part of the oncologic therapy. However, in several Countries, like Italy, exists a gap between science and practice. Indeed, at least in Italy, medical doctors know that exercise is a powerful tool to improve the therapeutic effects and the general condition of a cancer patient. But, on one hand, they don't have a exercise science background to prescribe it and, on the other hand, there are very few specialized center in which is possible to find some cancer exercise personal trainer expert.
Our team is composed by 13 master and PhD students in different fields, such as psychology, exercise science, computer engineer, law, economy, medicine, neuroscience, marketing, data analysis, and so on.
We are part of a program called "Dock3 Training" (http://www.dock3.it/dock3training/) which is a business training course organized by the University of Roma Tre. In less than 2 months we have to present our idea to ask some funds to lunch our social startup. However, we want to go beyond this training course because we believe that this app could really help people with cancer and lead them to do physical exercise to improve their quality of life. So, we can create an Italian version of this app and other versions based on your country.
If you are interested in receive more details of our idea, please, contact me by answering to this post, contacting me on RG, or sending me an email (neuroscienzedelmovimento@gmail.com // antonio.defano.gf@gmail.com)
ps: if you want, you can also leave a comment to help us in developing this idea. We will really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for your attention.
Best Regards,

heat acclimatization can increase performance of athlete and occupational for physical activity in heat condition.
for this purpose we have to train for adaptation in heat condition regularly. but I have some question about chronic heat stress.
does living in heat climate can lead to chronic fatigue?
does hyperthermia and heat illness occur without any symptom chronically?
Is sport science about individual holistic approach, or inter-individual reductionistic specialism?
Should someone try to know as much as possible about everything related to the wide field of sport science (nutrition, mechanics, chemics, psychology, genes, pathways, etc. etc.)
Or should someone be a specialist in one or more fields and look for inter-individual coöperation?
Or both (but is this possible?)
Hello!
Can anyone suggest me researches about multidimensional models to evaluate and classify young (or not) soccer players according to their performance scores?
Ex.: score Z and other methods.
Thanks.
I intend to use the Psychological Characteristics of Developing Excellence Questionnaire (PCDEQ), developed and validated by MacNamara & Collins (2011, 2013), in a study in Portugal. In order to apply the questionnaire I tried to find one already translated to Portuguese or Spanish, but I didn't find available. If anyone have that document, please send me.
Thanks in advance.
what is the best mental test to assess the effect of dietary supplements on central fatigue after high intensity exercise?
The effect of an acute exercise stimulus would last about 48 hours. If we perform cell cultures (lasting more than 48 hours) and then measure a protein or RNA, would that measurement really reflect the effect of acute exercise?
We are comparing caloric expenditure using METs to determine distances covered between different exercises.
Eg: what is the bicycling equivalent of walking in miles
Patient is K3 and enjoys hiking and working out. His goals are that he would like to be able to squat at the gym and have greater stability on uneven ground when hiking. When he tries to squat his prosthetic foot lifts up and he would like it to stay level with the floor.
Hi,
Did you notice that when you test your athletes on the treadmill (during season few times) they try to remember previous result ( time or speed of treadmill when they stopped)??
What my point is that when I want to re - test and examine if their time - to exhaustion increased - my athletes have motivation to continue running until they beat their previous results but this is strictly mental/psycho ability(not because of training effects or acute supplementation e.g. some pre - workout).
Should I cover the treadmill screen to not show them what speed and time of exercise they reached and then re - test them after training period?
Have performed incremental CPETs (cycle ergometery) pre and post intervention, using indirect calorimetry. Each stage of the CPET is 3 minutes long, and total test duration 15-20min. I'm looking for opinions on what duration of time I should use to determine a mean for the end of each stage, and ultimately the VO2max value (ie. last 60s, last 30s or last 10s of each stage). I've seen papers report all manner of durations, and often not report at all. Does anyone have a good justification/ paper for choosing how long to calculate from?
Thanks
I don´t find any paper about the relation between neurotrophins NT3 and NT4 and exercise in human population, only i find papers in BDNF,
I want to know the suitable recovery duration when I use the interval training method for improving the speed or special endurance abilities which depend on anaerobic system of energy?
We have a high intensity interval training on the water (canoe sprint)
1'20" work (100% VO2max) / 2' rest (55% VO2max) x 4 repeat x 4 sets.
We collected a blood simples at 3', 5', 8' and 10'.
All athletes are stayers. It was different results.
On average, results can be divided into two groups.
1 - La(mmol/l) 3.5 - 5.2 - 12.5 - 10.3
2 - La(mmol/l) 12.5 - 13.2 - 13.4 - 10.7
What does it mean?
If the number of reps changes through training sesions does the RPE too? Or is RPE kept between 8-9. What i mean is: i understand DUP programming; but a hypertophy set can be as high in RPE as a strenght one; that is why i'm asking.
Last question: wouldn't it be also interesting comparing RPE based training to % training; but instead of the classical approach using an encoder/accelerometer? (to have precise 1RM daily data)
thanks in advance
I was wondering whether anyone could steer me in the direction of research that assessed changes in muscle activation during squats as the external load increases.
For example, some individuals' technique unintentionally changes when external load surpasses >85% 1RM, resulting in a greater increase in hip-extensor activation in relation to knee-extensor activation.
Considering the roles of lactate in our brain, I want to know if activities like mental tasks or neuro stimulation can change values of peripheral venous blood lactate.
I have read of lasers used to measure flex in a kayak paddle, but wonder if water displacement is more important than an indirect measure. But how can it be done on a lab and in the ocean?
does anyone have experience/references regarding exercise prescription/physical characteristics/ injury rate of long limbed athletes (basketball players in particular but not limited too)? I'm interested in evidence of reduced balance, stability, core strength, body control, proprioception etc...
I am looking for un-published, grey (theses, conference papers) and in-press data comparing ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) to one of the following criterion measures, during resistance exercise (dynamic, eccentric and Isometric included): Workload, Heart Rate, Blood pressure, Blood lactate or EMG.
This data is required for a meta-analysis looking at the validity of RPE as a measure of resistance exercise intensity.
You do not need to have completed statistical analysis comparing or correlated RPE to the criterion measure; If you have collected data for RPE and one of the criterion measures, I will just need sample sizes, means and SD's for each group/variable.
If you would be willing to share this data with me please let me know.
Regards
Hi All,
If Carbohydrates are more effcient in regards ATP production per oxygen consumption why one of the main endurance adaptation is that athletes rely more on fat metabolism???
I’m pretty familiar with CrossFit, having once been a Level 2 CrossFit trainer and CrossFit Kids trainer but no longer associated with CrossFit, so I’m quite interested in your project. I read the two articles derived from that data collected during the “CrossFit Teens randomized control trial” and have a few questions. This is the first.
Thanks so much for your time.
Helo,
When to collect blood samples to asses highest peak of testosterone,cortisol, GH, and insulin after resistance strength exercise? What you recommend?
Should I focus on the amount of muscle mass or muscle function in the sarcopenic elderly?
The test NASA-TLX evaluates the load mental, but which would be the minimum of age preferred to perform this test?

We are doing a study on cutting maneuver in national squash players using kistelr force platform with 1000 Hz sampling rate. They are asked to do reactive agility task similar to work with young soccer players in the following paper: "Effect of Anticipation on Lower Extremity Biomechanics During Side- and Cross Cutting Maneuvers in Young Soccer Players.2014" something raises our question when we were comparing our result to the findings reported in the attached file. as you see, the parameter Time to Peak Force in both Fz and fx seems too long (more than 0.5 second or above 500 ms) for a cutting task, in both anticipated and unanticipated conditions. based on our result the whole contact time during sidestep were less than 300 ms. I mean the time reported is too slow. Would you please explain about it?
what is the role of 99mTc-DTPA exercise renogram in the evaluation of renal disorders ?
We are working on blood pressure responses during steady treadmill exercise. Rise in blood pressure occurs during the exercise. So can we use this difference as a Delta or not?
Various techniques for measurement of body composition are commonly used in human performance laboratories. Some that are often seen are skinfold thickness measurements, BMI, bioelectrical impedance, DEXA, bod-pod etc.
What would be the best method/combination of methods for measuring body composition in athletes? Should there be a difference in methods used for high-intensity sports and low to moderate intensity sports and healthy non athletes?
What do you use in your lab and could you suggest some review on that topic or provide possible guidelines for that issue.
Thank you in advance,
Kind regards,
TinG
I have not been able to find any studies measuring nitric oxide in the literature that have done a longer follow-up to acute exercise than a few hours. Specifically I am interested to know whether a single session in untrained individuals could result in increased NO approximately 24 hours later. Ideally I'd like to have a study to reference for this but I'm also just interested to know the thoughts of others who are familiar with this area .
I am thankful for any kind of literature to that topic.
Thank you
Although the new IOC consensus statement has redefined the female triad terminology relative energy deficit (RED-S).
What is known in this area and what is the role of a Physiotherapist to address the issues in female athletes as a result of the triad???
We are looking at anticipation of effort for an upcoming bout of exercise/physical activity.
I am looking for evidence-based approaches to selecting (and re-composing) high-performance teams from talented, high-performing individuals based on task/mission profiles and individual strengths and weaknesses. The goal is to produce a "star team" (as distinct form "team of stars") which is best for the task at hand, where individual strengths are magnified and individual weaknesses compensated or better still - converted into collective strengths.
Amount of daylight exposure is known to be a predictor for work-related stress and job satisfaction. However daylight exposure is not the same as 'time spending outside'. I am curious if there are studies around who investigated the relationship between time spending outside and e.g. stress, fatigue, mental health, etc.
Or, what is the most suitable definition of 'time spending outside'?
To study the race walking athletic discipline, I need a wearable system to measure spatial (step length) and temporal (contact time, flight time and step rate) variables in field conditions. The system must be able to compare left vs right legs, and also to show the mean values of both legs.
We conducted a study where in 40 participants enrolled, underwent pre-intervention assessment and received the intervention. We had 10 people dropping out of the study mid way or did not complete post intervention assessment. Can we use intention to treat analysis? If so, how do we go about doing this for a single group design?
I wonder if there could be an association with partaking in regular HIIT and development of enduring fatigue in adults (especially those with a sedentary occupations in the absence of other health conditions)? I would be interested to hear about:
- Research?
- Clinical Observations?
- Anecdotal Accounts?
- Thoughts?
Many thanks,
Juliet :-)
i have been training so hard for the past two weeks and today throughout the day I was having a running stomach. Last year I was training athletics team during their preparation for the cross-country competition, and most of them were complaining about their running stomach. I interviewed them about the type of diet and amount of fluid they are taking, but it was a good diet and approximately 5-8 litres of water they drank per day(before, during and after training). I'm trying to find out if you guys you have a solution for this encountered solution. i want to know the physiological changes that takes place in the body that resulted in this situation
I wonder the exercise range (begin to stop), the angular speed of such isokinetic exercise for low back pain patients. Anyone have used this kind of exercise???
I am working with an adolescent (11-14 y) culinary skills intervention that includes a short 30 minutes of moderate physical activity. I remember previously reading that stretching is not needed based on the age of the participants, duration and intensity of the activity.
ACSM sources were not at all helpful.
I am looking for a broad,"If-Then" approach not necessarily computer modelling.
I want to know if anyone has looked at feedback on exercise-induced mood as a method of promoting future activity intentions or behaviour.
Hi,
How much time is possible to maintain workload related to second ventilatory threshold in cycling? I'm looking for any reference about that question, preferably with healthy active sample.
Thanks!
I need serious and potential collaborators to write with me a review on Perceived exertion? Please contact me through email: mhaddad@qu.edu.qa
I'm trying to find some test to asses knee stability different to Star Excursion Balance Test. I'm interested in any test which can be proved with athletes who have been undergone to a ACL operation and can be performed at field.
Thanks so much
Could cerebral hipercapnia with normoxia serve as the trigger for epileptic seizure in maximal voluntary breath hold in epileptic freedivers? If not, are you aware of any known physiological associates that would increase risk of getting epileptic attack during static and dynamic breath hold? Due to diving reflex there is hipercapnia with hypoxia present in the entire body except brain where there is hypercapnia with normoxia.
Kind regards
Aerobic capacity of an individual differs from person to person. An endurance runner who performed TMT (Age: 39 yrs; 4th stage of Bruce Protocol for 12:00 min:s; 13.30 METS, HR rest = 54 bpm; rose to a HR max = 171 bpm which is 94 % of the maximal age predicted heart rate), but the test was stopped due to safety of the athletes. How do we calculate his maximal aerobic capacity from sub-maximal exercise?
A lot of debate exists around which frailty measurement is best. Maybe we need two separate measurements - one for population health screening, and one for clinical assessment? Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Elsa
Most of the longitudinal studies on the cardiac adaptation to exercise training seems to report on wall thickening and moderate increase in internal ventricular diameter at best, with some notable exceptions, e.g.:
Any observations and considerations how to effectively induce "physiological" ventricular chamber expansion are welcomed. Also are speculations/hypotheses on the means to induce longitudinal (apex to valves) left ventricular enlargement.
It is well known that in rigid body, there are 2 ways to representing rotations in 3D: Euler and Quaternion. Empirically, has been noted that both methods have advantages (In Euler there's not redundancy and Quaternions there are stable interpolations of possible rotations) and disadvantages (In Euler exists the gimbal lock singularity and Quaternions there are redundancy by using 4 values to represent the DOF or degrees of freedom). Nevertheless, i've not found a technical and measurement report about when is recommended use Quaternions vs Euler representation, e.g. (recording a complex sport gesture, or recording a simple movement gesture). Even, in the ISB (international society of biomechanics) recommendations on definitions of joint coordinate system of joints for human analysis, there's no given an explanation of using an Euler representation in human motion.
Thanks
I came across data from Osteopathy but missing evidence based data from Physical Therapy. All about Diagnosis/Red Flags, Prevention and treatment is welcome. Thank you!
does aerobic exercises positively affect/delay diabetes in pre diabetic?
