Study aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the differences in strength and jumping abilities of adolescent soccer players playing in different positions on the field.

Study aim: This study examined the associations between gender, the nature of sports club participation, training volume, and motor coordination in late childhood.

Study aim: This study aimed to develop vertical jumping power normative-reference standards based on a large cohort of Canadian university students.

The study aimed to investigate the effects of age and gender on game-related performance (GRP) and the associations between GRP data and official game-related statistics (GRS).

Study aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the variability and symmetry of upper limb physiological tremor in elite sport dancers under simulated competitive conditions.

Study aim: Poor posture is a widespread issue in today’s world, emphasizing the importance of spinal posture for balance, stability, and efficient movement. We aimed to systematically review the impact of virtual reality (VR) exercises on correcting spinal alignment in healthy individuals or those w...

Study Aim: This study examined the relationship between psychological coping skills and injury occurrence among sub-elite male soccer players, assessing differences between injured and non-injured players and across playing positions.

Study aim: The study analyzed biomechanical similarities and differences between ancient and modern sports techniques, focusing on pankration. It examined historical artifacts and modern pankration scenes to elucidate biomechanical developments over time.

Study aim: Real-time EEG neurofeedback (NFB) training is gaining popularity as a cognitive-motor enhancement tool in elite sports. However, its protocol-specific effectiveness across disciplines and outcome domains remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of rea...

Study aim: This study aimed to assess the acute effects of manual therapy, focusing on knee, hip, and sacroiliac joint mobilization (DM), on knee extension (KE) and flexion (KF) strength in young soccer athletes, with the goal of determining the impact of these critical factors on performance.

Study aim: To compare the efficiency of a pressure biofeedback stabilizer (PBS), Riablo audio-visual feedback (RAV), and yoga in core strengthening exercise protocols in overweight individuals with trunk instability.

Study aim: This study assessed gender-based differences in physical fitness and the relationships between fitness variables and climbing performance among elite youth sports climbers.

Study aim: Intermittent hypoxic training (IHT) has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy, using controlled hypoxia to stimulate adaptive physiological mechanisms. This narrative review examines the application of IHT in rehabilitation and health promotion.

Study aim: Children are “non-metabolic specialists”, and the hierarchy of energy sources engaged in their exercise is poorly understood. This study compared the results of dry-land endurance and speed tests between peripubertal swimmers (aged 12–13 years) and their untrained peers, and examined thei...
