Article Abstract
This longitudinal study analyzed the relationship between players' physical (sprint distances, number of high-intensity accelerations and decelerations assessed with individual and relative thresholds) and technical (retrieved from SofaScore platform) performances during competition. Twenty elite players were monitored across a full season. Physical performances were monitored with GNSS devices, retrieving time (s), velocity (km.h) and distance (m). Sprint distances were calculated as > 80% of the match peak speed registered across the season. High-intensity accelerations and decelerations were calculated as >75% of the peak values registered across the season. Pearson () correlations (with 95% confidence intervals) were calculated to assess the relationship among different physical performance variables and between the physical and technical performance variables. Sprint distances correlated with the number of ball touches ( -0.36 [-0.49, -0.23], < .001), accurate passes ( -0.45 [-0.56, -0.32], < .001), and dribble attempts ( 0.30 [0.16, 0.43], < .001). If players touched the ball more frequently and pass the ball more accurately, they covered shorter sprint distances. However, if players attempted more dribbles, they covered longer sprint distances. Practitioners can develop tactical strategies considering the relationship between sprint distances and technical variables such as ball touches, accurate passes, and dribble attempts.

Background: Wearable sensors recording acceleration provide a powerful tool for analysis of physical activity (PA). Continuous, high-rate data acquisition over extended periods gives highly resolved measurement of movement intensity. While increased complexity of PA analytics allows for deeper insight, it brings a challenge to statistical testing, where commonly used approaches require a single defining metric for PA per participant.

This study aimed to determine the peak locomotor match demands between starters and non-starting soccer players according to playing position and match outcome. Twenty-two young outfield soccer players were observed over 17 official matches. Locomotor performance during the matches was recorded per minute: total distance (TD), high-speed running distance (HSD, >19.

People with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) face increased health risks beyond those directly linked to HIV infection, including reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), cardiovascular disease, and accelerated aging. Physical exercise, particularly high-intensity interval training (HIIT), may help mitigate these issues. This scoping review aimed to map the current evidence on the effects of HIIT in PWH.

The high-intensity vibration is a highly promising method for accelerating bubble nucleation, given the significant acoustic-thermal effects at the nanoscale. The enhancement effect of vibration on the boiling process on a rough substrate was explored using the molecular dynamics method. The results show that under high-frequency vibration conditions, water molecules are simultaneously subjected to both thermal fluctuations and pressure waves.

Background: Chronic chlorella intake combined with high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) has been shown to accelerate aerobic and anaerobic capacities in rodents. This study aimed to clarify the effects of combining chlorella intake with short-term HIIT on exercise performance in humans, and to investigate the impact of chlorella intake on cardiac adaptation.
Materials And Methods: In Study 1, twelve healthy young men completed a 3-week exhaustive HIIT, comprising 6-7 bouts of 20 s of cycling on a leg ergometer at an intensity of 170% maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O), with a 10 s rest between each bout, 3 days/week.
