Nationalist–Feminine Bifurcation: The Construction of National Morality Through Gender Regimes

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of nationalist–feminine bifurcation to analyse how nationalist–populist regimes construct moral orders through gendered representations. It explores how women are simultaneously portrayed as the idealized ‘national woman’ and the excluded ‘moral threat’. Through a comparative discourse analysis of four cases—

Standalone plyometric training in basketball players: a meta-analytic comparison of countermovement jump, squat jump, and sprint performance enhancements

Frontiers in Physiology
IntroductionWhile several meta-analyses have quantitatively examined plyometric training effects, many combined it with other modalities (e.g., strength training) or did not focus exclusively on basketball players.

The Kinematic and Kinetic Development of Sprinting and Countermovement Jump Performance in Boys

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
BackgroundThe aim of the study was to examine the kinematics and kinetics of sprint running and countermovement jump performance between the ages of 8–9, and 11–12 years old boys in order to understand the developmental plateau in performance.Methods18 ...

The Formosan Black Bear and Taiwanese Nationalism

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building on scholarship that situates nations and nationalism within colonial relations, this article examines nationalism in settler‐colonial Taiwan amid China's colonial claim to sovereignty. Drawing on interviews, conservation documents and popular representations, we show how the Formosan black bear became a national symbol of resistance ...

High-intensity eccentric hip abductor strength training improves dynamic knee valgus in a task-dependent manner in asymptomatic young women: A pilot study.

PLoS ONE
IntroductionDynamic knee valgus is linked to reduced hip abduction strength, a critical factor in knee stability during unilateral movements. While interventions to reduce dynamic knee valgus often use traditional hip abduction training, many neglect the

The effects of a (poly)phenol‐rich food intervention on markers of exercise‐induced inflammation and oxidative stress: A randomised controlled trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined whether consuming a (poly)phenol‐rich food before strenuous muscle‐damaging exercise can modify post‐exercise markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Using a double‐blinded, randomised, placebo‐controlled, between‐subjects design, 26 recreationally active males (n = 15) and females (n = 11) consumed higher‐(poly ...

Effects of cold water immersion versus active recovery on oxidative stress, redox gene expression and mitochondrial adaptations after strength training

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We compared the acute and chronic effects of postexercise cold water immersion (CWI) and active recovery (ACT) on oxidative stress, redox‐related gene expression, mitochondrial adaptations and muscle oxidative capacity. In a crossover study, nine males completed strength sessions, followed by either 10 min CWI or ACT.

The cold‐water immersion recovery–adaptation paradox: Reconciling acute parasympathetic and analgesic benefits with chronic hypertrophy attenuation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cold‐water immersion (CWI) is among the most widely used post‐exercise recovery modalities in elite sport and clinical rehabilitation, yet a fundamental paradox now emerges from the evidence: the same protocols that accelerate parasympathetic reactivation and reduce perceived muscle soreness also suppress the molecular and cellular machinery ...

Contribution of biological maturation and power of upper and lower limbs to crawl swim performance in adolescent athletes

Human Movement, 2022
Purpose There is no consensus in literature data about the influence of biological maturation (BM) on swim performance in young athletes. We analysed the relationship of BM, upper-limb power (ULP), and lower-limb power (LLP) with adolescent athletes ...
