Does Test Duration Matter? Comparing 1‐s and 5‐s Isometric Mid‐Thigh Pull Protocols for Performance Diagnostics in Basketball Players

ABSTRACT To compare kinetic characteristics of a 1‐s isometric mid‐thigh pull (IMTP) protocol with the traditional 5‐s protocol and examine their associations with basketball‐specific performance. Twenty‐five Tier 3 male basketball players performed standardized 1‐s and 5‐s IMTP...

Hydrodynamic characteristics of an ILCA6 sailing dinghy in calm water and head waves

Abstract The ILCA6 (formerly Laser Radial) sailing dinghy frequently encounters wave conditions during training and competition, where wave-induced resistance and ship motions can significantly influence sailing performance. However, systematic investigations of the hydrodynamic...

Inter‐Set Blood‐Flow Restriction Increases Peripheral Physiological Stress While Preserving Repeated‐Sprint Mechanical Output in Trained Athletes

ABSTRACT Inter‐set blood‐flow restriction (BFR) may increase the physiological stimulus of repeated‐sprint exercise without compromising mechanical output, but evidence in trained athletes is limited. In a randomized crossover design, 26 national‐level male badminton players comp...

Anthropometric PHV-prediction models versus skeletal age in elite Chinese U12–U13 male soccer players: a cross-sectional study

Assessing biological maturity in youth soccer helps reduce maturity-related selection bias. Anthropometric peak height velocity (PHV) prediction models provide non-invasive, repeatable tools for maturity monitoring, but their performance relative to skeletal-age (SA) indicators r...

Sensor-Based Movement Quality Assessment and Biofeedback for Rehabilitation Exercise: A Scoping Review with Implications for Home-Based and Remote Rehabilitation

Background/Objectives: Sensor-based movement assessment is increasingly used to quantify movement execution quality and support feedback-guided rehabilitation exercise, particularly in home-based and remote rehabilitation contexts. However, exercise adherence, movement execution...
