Is Maturational Growth More Influential than Training Engagement in Longitudinal Adolescent Physical Performance Development?

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Athlete development is considered a multi‐factorial and dynamic overtime process. Thus, understanding what factors and behavioural activities contribute most to development is important. The present study examined longitudinal relationships between training time and maturity status with physical performance indices in youth volleyball players.

Effects of Root Extract of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) on Perception of Recovery and Muscle Strength in Female Athletes

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Ashwagandha is a supplement with the potential to improve exercise performance. However, research on its impact on female athletes remains limited. This study investigates the effects of ashwagandha on exercise recovery and muscle strength in professional female athletes, addressing a gap in understanding its role in this underrepresented ...

The concurrent validity of a portable ultrasound probe for muscle thickness measurements

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Ultrasound imaging is extensively used by both practitioners and researchers in assessing muscle thickness (MT); however, its use in the field is constrained by the transportability of stationary devices. New portable ultrasound probes pose as a cost‐effective and transportable alternative for field‐based assessments.

Effects of Resistance Training With or Without Blood Flow Restriction on Bone Metabolism in Osteopenic Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial

International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background and Aims: Osteopenia in postmenopausal women increases the risk of fractures and functional decline. Exercise is a key nonpharmacological strategy to improve bone health. However, high‐intensity resistance training (HI) may not be feasible for all individuals.

Measurement of mid‐upper arm circumference to screen for childhood malnutrition: General applicability and use in special populations

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1517-1528, December 2024.
Abstract Since the development of consensus‐recommended indicators for pediatric malnutrition in 2014, screening and diagnosis of pediatric malnutrition have improved, but the indicators are not always used; malnutrition continues to be underdiagnosed in some community and healthcare settings.
