Comparison of the Effects of Static-Stretching and Tubing Exercises on Acute Shoulder Range of Motion in Collegiate Baseball Players by Andrew M Busch, Jackson Browstein, Richard Ulm

“…The DT exercises were hypothesized to elicit greater improvements in shoulder ROM. # Study Design Two-way crossover study. # Methods Twenty-five healthy collegiate baseball players (mean age = 19.8 ±1.0 years) presenting with glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) >20° and total rotational range of motion (TRROM) losses >5° completed the SS and DT interventions on different days. …”

Effect of small sided handball game on aerobic capacity and repeated sprint ability of male handball players by Balasubramanian Chıttıbabu

“…Subjects were measured on aerobic capacity, total sprint time and fatigue index on three occasions first before administration of training as pre-test, after four weeks of training as mid test and after eight weeks of training as post-test. A two-way repeated measure ANOVA with last factor repeated revealed that aerobic capacity, total sprint time and fatigue index improved (p lt;0.05). …”

Range of Motion and Muscle Stiffness Differences in Junior Tennis Players with and without a History of Shoulder Pain by Joshua Colomar, Javier Peña, Jordi Vicens-Bordas, Ernest Baiget

“…Participants performed stiffness measurements on muscles involved in the main tennis stroke motions alongside range of motion examinations on the dominant (D) and non-dominant (ND) extremities including IR, external shoulder rotation (ER), and TAM. A two-way mixed-design ANOVA analyzed group and limb effects, with effect sizes classified as small, medium, or large. …”

Acute effect of technique modification training on 180° change of direction performance and kinematics in adolescent male soccer players by Hayato Nakamura, Daichi Yamashita, Daichi Nishiumi, Naoto Nakaichi, Norikazu Hirose

“…Each section of the Pro-Agility test was divided into acceleration and deceleration phases based on the COM velocity; Stop marks the moment of direction change. Two-way (group and time) mixed ANOVA was conducted with Bonferroni corrections for post-hoc comparisons.ResultsNo significant interactions were observed in the total time of the Pro-Agility test, CODD, 20-m sprint time, or average acceleration and deceleration in each phase (p > 0.05). …”

Effects of a 10-week athletic performance program on match performance variables in male professional football players by Sergio Jiménez Rubio, José L. Estévez Rodríguez, Victor Escamilla Galindo, Sergio L. Jiménez-Sáiz, Juan Del Coso

“…Performance metrics were assessed pre- and post-intervention using GPS to measure match-related variables (total running distance, sprint distance, number of sprints, and peak running speed) and countermovement jump tests to evaluate vertical jumping ability. A two-way ANOVA (2 × 2; group and time) was employed to analyze the effects of the interventions and their interaction.ResultsSignificant group × time interaction effects were observed for total running distance (F = 51.853, P < 0.001), sprint distance (F = 197.610, P < 0.001), number of sprints (F = 86.923, P < 0.001), and peak running speed (F = 81.351, P < 0.001) during matches. …”

Development and Evaluation of an AI-based Exergame Training System for Ice-Hockey Players: a Randomized Controlled Trial by Nicole Sieber, Simon Walser, Thomas Weber, Raphael Gubler, Hannes Badertscher, Patrick Eggenberger

“…Acceptance was assessed with the Exergame Enjoyment Questionnaire (EEQ, 20–100 points scale), usability was assessed with the System Usability Scale (SUS), and exergame training intensity was measured as percentage of maximum heart rate (%HRmax) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE, modified Borg scale 1–10). Two-way repeated measures analyses of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze group x time interaction effects for EF and CMJ parameters. …”
