The value of social support in enhancing performance is well established in non-impaired and sub-international level athletes with impairments. Despite this, no research to date has explored the experiences of social support in elite para-athletes. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of social support in elite British para-swimmers and the influence on their wellbeing and performa...... hiện toàn bộ
Sports nutrition knowledge and perceptions among professional basketball athletes and coaches in Lebanon-a cross-sectional studyBMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation - Tập 13 - Trang 1-19 - 2021

Basketball is the most popular sport in Lebanon. Adequate nutrition has been established to be a key component of optimal athletic performance, recovery from exercise and exercise-induced injury and documented to be associated with adequate nutrition knowledge (NK). In Lebanon, nutrition education is not incorporated into the basketball player training program and there is no established position ...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of a small-sided games training program in youth male soccer players: variations of the locomotor profile while interacting with baseline level and with the accumulated loadBMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation - Tập 14 - Trang 1-10 - 2022

This study aimed to (1) analyze the impact of a small-sided game training program in the locomotor profile of youth male soccer players (while interacting with the baseline level – higher and lower level); and (2) test the relationships between variation in locomotor profile and the accumulated demands in 3v3, 5v5 and match over the period of observation. The cohort lasted 3-weeks. Twenty under-17...... hiện toàn bộ

The bilateral limb deficit (BLD) phenomenon during leg press: a preliminary investigation into central and peripheral factorsBMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation - Tập 13 - Trang 1-10 - 2021
Emily Whitcomb, Oscar Ortiz, Jacqueline Toner, Usha Kuruganti
The bilateral limb deficit (BLD) phenomenon suggests that lower forces are produced with bilateral limb contractions compared to the summed force produced when the same muscles are contracted unilaterally. While interhemispheric inhibition has been suggested as a cause of BLD, the origin of the deficit is yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to investigate central and peripheral factors...... hiện toàn bộ

Physical demands and injury rates differ between elite female and male Australian Football (AF) players. To improve understanding of contributing physical factors to these differences, the purpose of this study was to investigate lower-body morphology and whole-body composition of elite footballers competing in the Australian Football League (AFL) and Australian Football League Women’s (AFLW).
