Article Abstract
Background: High-intensity sprint exercises (HIS) are central to sprinter training and require careful monitoring of athlete muscle fatigue to improve performance and prevent injury. While the countermovement jump (CMJ) may be used to monitor neuromuscular fatigue (NMF), little is known about the specific effects from HIS. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of HIS on the CMJ to assess its utility for assessing NMF following HIS.
Methods: Ten male collegiate 400 m sprinters completed a 400 m sprint fatigue protocol and underwent five CMJ-testing sessions (baseline, 3 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour and 24 hours) over two days. Three CMJ trials, performed on a force plate, were completed each trial, with rating of perceived exertion (RPE) recorded as a subjective fatigue measure. Changes in RPE, CMJ variables, force-time and power-time curves at baseline and post fatigue were assessed.
Results: Significant changes were observed in most variables following the fatigue protocol. In particular, concentric mean power remained significantly lower after 24 hours compared to baseline. In addition, the force-time curves exhibited a significant reduction in all conditions following the fatigue protocol. This decline was most pronounced within 50-75%of the concentric phase relative to baseline measurements. Results indicate that the CMJ may be a useful tool for monitoring fatigue in at least 400 m sprinters. These data also indicate that HIS may disproportionately reduce force output in during concentric movement. These insights may improve training prescriptions and injury prevention strategies for sprint athletes.

Background: Medical treatments have improved survival rates for paediatric brain tumour (PBT), but the condition and treatment continue to be associated with significant cognitive morbidity. Nearly all survivors will experience some degree of cognitive impairment (neurocognitive 'late effects') that has a cascading impact on the development of intellectual and academic skills, quality of life, mental health, vocational attainment, and functional independence. Longstanding cognitive fatigue is also a prevalent symptom for survivors of PBT and further impacts engagement with therapeutic interventions and quality of life.

Background: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a complex chronic pain syndrome disorder characterized by several symptoms, including widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, cognitive dysfunction, and mood disorders, with an unknown etiology, and unclear pathophysiology.
Purpose: In this study, a Positive Psychotherapy Program for Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome was developed to change the pain perception of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome, optimize their activities of daily living, and improve their mental state, and the effectiveness of the program was confirmed.
Design: We employed a randomized controlled design in this investigation, utilizing a pretest (at baseline), posttest (at the end of the ten-week intervention), and follow-up (in the third month) approach.

Objective: Approximately 30% of the 700 000 US Gulf War Veterans (GWVs) report symptoms collectively termed Gulf War Illness (GWI), a multisymptom illness of uncertain pathophysiology. Prior studies in GWI focus on overlap with irritable bowel syndrome. This study examines the associations between upper gastrointestinal (UGI) symptoms, GWI and specialty GI care.

Mental fatigue (MF) is a complex phenomenon with significant implications for human performance, for which there are numerous studies investigating the effects of MF. Nevertheless, there is considerable variability in the approaches used to induce and quantify MF, making it hard to compare findings across studies and draw well-supported conclusions. This review addresses the methodological variability in the induction and quantification methods of MF in movement science in the following ways: on the one hand, by providing an overview of task design strategies to induce MF, emphasizing the importance of tailoring task duration, difficulty, and nature to individual participants and specific research contexts; on the other hand, by providing an overview of current methods used to quantify MF, including behavioural, subjective, and physiological measures, and highlighting the strengths and limitations of each.

Background: Sleep disorders, including insomnia, are highly prevalent in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), significantly impacting quality of life. Patients frequently use cannabidiol (CBD) as an alternative to standard medical treatments for sleep disorders, yet its efficacy has not been rigorously investigated.
Methods: This study comprises 15 randomized, placebo-controlled N-of-1 trials evaluating the effect of pure CBD oil (10 % g/v) on sleep quality in MS patients.
