Background: The purpose of this study was to do a systematic review and meta-analysis about the anthropometric, physiological, and physical performance that discriminate the physical talent in basketball.
Methods: The search was conducted using the most relevant databases as Web of Science, PubMed, SPORTDiscus and Scopus, according to the PRISMA (2020) guideline. Keywords such as "basketball", "talented identification", "anthropometric", "physiology" and "physical performance" were used for the search, in English and following the "PICOS" question model. Eighteen articles' overall methodological quality was assessed using the Critical Review Forms.
Results: The study found in basketball, height, body mass, Yo-Yo test, -test, 20 m sprint, and jump performance had statistical significance between elite and non-elite groups, including different positions and levels.
Conclusions: The reviewed literature highlighted a complicated relationship between anthropometric, physiological, and physical performance. Based on the results of the study, it's possible that height, body mass, agility, speed, endurance capacity, and lower lamb power could affect the early development of basketball.

Maintenance of core temperature (Tc) is vital for health and physiological function while SCUBA diving in cold water, but there is little research investigating the influence of anthropometrics, suit type, and sex on the rate of change in Tc during real-world diving conditions. We measured the rate of change in Tc (telemetric pill) and thermal sensation (Ts; Young questionnaire) in 62 participants (32 female) before and after non-decompression SCUBA dives using open circuit apparatus breathing air at varied depths and durations in cold water (~ 10 °C). Twenty-three participants wore drysuits (11F), and 39 participants wore wetsuits (21F).

Background: The pace of physiological deterioration is variable among living beings. Vitamin D is proven to be one of the crucial yet deficient vitamins. Hypovitaminosis D is often marked by aging, but young adults are also not exempt.

Background: Despite some reviews examining sex differences in football within specific themes, a comprehensive, integrated overview of sex differences in football is lacking. This scoping review aimed to: (1) synthesize existing evidence regarding sex differences in elite football players; (2) identify research gaps to provide direction for future studies.
Methodology: The protocol adhered to the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines.

Purpose: Integrated physiological responses during maximal whole-body exercise, such as cycling, under additive hypoxemia (anemia + hypoxia) are not adequately studied. Therefore, we investigated cardiovascular, muscular and cerebral oxygenation responses in chronic mildly iron-deficient and control women under normoxic and moderate hypoxic conditions during maximal whole-body exercise.
Methods: In a randomized and counterbalanced order, 16 females performed incremental exercise to exhaustion under normoxia (N; FIO:20.

Background: Rational dietary patterns and adequate nutritional status support athlete health and performance, while unhealthy habits may impair these outcomes. This study aimed to identify dietary patterns among Polish professional athletes using a food frequency questionnaire and assess their correlations with nutritional status indicators.
Methods: Participants included 226 elite Polish athletes (aged 16-39 years; 87 women, 139 men) from various sports disciplines.
