Physical Exercise and Psychophysical Learnings on Basic Strength Development

Methods and Protocols
Strength development through physical exercise enhances neuromodulator production, neural connectivity, and motor unit efficiency. Beyond physical benefits, understanding individuals’ perceptions, opinions, and knowledge can optimize engagement in ...

Differences in Vertical Jump Force-Time Characteristics between Stronger and Weaker Adolescent Basketball Players

Sports, 2017
The countermovement jump (CMJ) and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) are commonly used to compare one’s force capacity during dynamic and isometric assessments, respectively.

Resistance Training for Cyclists: Scientific Evidence and Practical Recommendations

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Growing evidence supports strength or resistance training (RT) as an effective method for enhancing cycling performance, but many cyclists remain reluctant to incorporate it due to perceived detrimental effects, such as excessive residual fatigue and unwanted hypertrophy.

The relationship between Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull variables and athletic performance measures:empirical study of English professional soccer players and meta-analysis of extant literature [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: There is currently limited evidence available to support the use of the isometric mid thigh pull (IMTP) within professional soccer. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between IMTP variables, with common markers of athletic ...

Arthroscopic Primary Repair of Mid‐Substance Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tears With Knotless Dual‐Suspensory Fixation

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears can spontaneously heal, but often heal with excess laxity. In contrast to well‐documented arthroscopic proximal and distal PCL tear repairs, the most prevalent mid‐substance tear is typically managed conservatively, or with full reconstruction.

Exploring the Role of Footwear in Trail Running and Hiking: A Scoping Review

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Off‐road activities such as trail running and hiking have undergone a significant surge in global popularity over the last 2 decades, but this engagement also raises the potential for musculoskeletal injuries, which are prevalent and comparable to rates reported in road running.

Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 9, Page 3993-4003, 1 September 2026.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;
