This systematic review screened 341 records from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, with 46 studies meeting the inclusion criteria ( = 1763 players; age range: 13.

Hierarchical clustering of the pre-exam anxiety levels in physically inactive and active adolescent students from 56 countries: an observational study using PISA program data.

Introduction: The relationship between physical activity and anxiety among students has been extensively studied, with research highlighting the protective effects of physical activity on mental well-being.

Methods: This article synthesizes existing literature on the topic and presents a novel analysis of pre-exam anxiety rates among physically inactive high school students from 56 countries. Using data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018, a hierarchical clustering method was applied to identify four clusters based on stratified country groups by the students' pre-exam anxiety levels.

Identifying Optimal Pitch Training Load in Elite Soccer Players.

Background: There are no data in the literature regarding the optimal pitch training load (PTL) for elite soccer teams during congested seasons.

Objectives: This study had three goals: (1) identify whether there is an adaptation in match physical performance (MPP) in response to PTL throughout a congested season in elite soccer players; (2) identify whether MPP adaptation is specific to the coach's PTL philosophy; and (3) identify the optimal PTL for MPP during a congested season.

Method: Over two seasons, we collected data from 11,658 PTL sessions and 3068 MPP data from 54 elite male soccer players.

A comprehensive update of genotype-phenotype correlations in PMM2-CDG: insights from molecular and structural analyses.

PMM2-CDG (phosphomannomutase 2-deficiency) is the most prevalent N-glycosylation disorder and results from impairments of PMM2 activity. This disease presents a large variety of pathogenic variants, which cause a wide phenotypical spectrum. This diversity, together with the low number of affected patients, raises the challenge of determining genotype-phenotype correlations in PMM2-CDG.

Mediated Transformation of Tamarillo () Callus Cell Suspension Cultures: A Novel Platform for Biotechnological Applications.

Cav. (tamarillo) has a strong biotechnological potential given the ease of obtaining cell lines from it that can be genetically transformed. However, genetic transformation of tamarillo cell suspension cultures has not yet been described.

Enhancement of wound healing in diabetic mice by topical use of a peptide-ionic liquid conjugate.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most devastating complications of diabetes, with high impact on patient's quality of life. In worst scenarios, DFU can lead to severe amputation or even death. DFUs are an easy target for microbial pathogens and their effective healing is hampered by the galloping increase of microbial resistance to antibiotics, including from the most prevalent pathogens in DFU, e.

Bioactive Peptides from Milk Proteins with Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Antihypertensive Activities.

Background/objectives: Peptides from protein ingredients exhibit key biological activities, including antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immunomodulatory effects. Aligning with the One Health approach, there is growing investment in promoting pet health and well-being. As a result, sustainable functional ingredients are increasingly essential for pet food development.

Classification of recovery states in U15, U17, and U19 sub-elite football players: a machine learning approach.

Introduction: A promising approach to optimizing recovery in youth football has been the use of machine learning (ML) models to predict recovery states and prevent mental fatigue. This research investigates the application of ML models in classifying male young football players aged under (U)15, U17, and U19 according to their recovery state. Weekly training load data were systematically monitored across three age groups throughout the initial month of the 2019-2020 competitive season, covering 18 training sessions and 120 observation instances.

The Neuroprotective Role of Cyanobacteria with Focus on the Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Potential: Current Status and Perspectives.

Neurodegenerative diseases are linked to the process of neurodegeneration. This can be caused by several mechanisms, including inflammation and accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Despite their high incidence, there is still no effective treatment or cure for these diseases.

Tracking the Prevalence of Obesity in Portuguese School-Aged Children: What Future to Expect?

Background: Childhood obesity presents a significant public health concern globally, with implications for cardiovascular health and metabolic syndrome. In Portugal, approximately 31.6% of children are affected, highlighting the urgency for intervention strategies.

"Seasoning" antimalarial drugs' action: chloroquine bile salts as novel triple-stage antiplasmodial hits.

Malaria is one of the "big three" global infectious diseases, having caused above two hundred million cases and over half a million deaths in 2020. The continuous demand for new treatment options prioritizes the cost-effective development of new chemical entities with multi-stage antiplasmodial activity, for higher efficacy and lower propensity to elicit drug-resistant parasite strains. Following up on our long-term research towards the rescue of classical antimalarial aminoquinolines like chloroquine and primaquine, we have developed new organic salts by acid-base pairing of those drugs with natural bile acids.
