One of the biggest health challenges today is controlling body weight gain which leads to overweight and obesity. In order to anticipate and monitor the possible problem of overweight/ obesity, this study was undertaken in Albanian children to identify the current status of body weight in primary schools and to compare the children of the same age in Europe for the weight status. A total of 1888 elementary school children (939 boys and 949 girls) aged 6-9 years old) were enrolled in this study. Body mass were measured using a Health O Meter 402 KL professional physician beam scale. The results from this scientific work show that boys in Albania have a higher body weight (p≤0.05) compared to girls (6-9 years). Comparative data from this study on body weight between Albanian and European children show that Albanian boys and girls in elementary school (ages 6-9) are ranked among the lower body weight children compared to European counterparts. This data would be a great help in creating a clear picture of the trends of body weight growth over the years in Albanian children. These data are very important for the consequences on public health given that overweight children have a tendency to become overweight adults.

The present study aimed to measure Portuguese referees’ motivation to study the Laws of the Game and Competition Rules (LGCR). This longitudinal empirical study measured the evolution of referees’ motivation, whose study needs are essential for their preparation, evolution and career progression. The study was carried out in two different periods, in the beginning and during the 2017/2018 sports season. 179 referees completed a questionnaire, in order to assess the motivation. The same scale was replicated in the middle of the season, after the referees had used a game called RefereeGame, to evaluate the evolution in motivation over the time. The data were processed using longitudinal Structural Equation Models, estimated in the SPSS/AMOS 27 software. The referees used a Game-Based Learning (GBL) tool to study and test their knowledge. The results showed that Intrinsic Motivation to Know increased between Moment 1 and Moment 2. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation also presented considerable differences between both moments, showing that GBL can be considered as valid tool, to regulate technical and regulatory preparation of referees. This research may help sports researchers to understand the use of games as strategic tools to involve referees in learning the LGCR.

Blood pressure, pulse rate, and blood lactate concentration in response to resistance training are of critical significance for people, who could benefit from performing it, but to whom extreme blood pressure levels may be harmful. Traditionally high load training was held to cause an exaggerated blood pressure response but few recent studies challenged this. Since the published data is not unanimous, we examined whether longer duration with low load or high load in shorter duration would be favorable to heart rate, blood pressure, double product, and lactate levels in a group of healthy young people. Twenty-three young students performed twice, a week apart, a sequence of four sets of an exercise, once with 20 repetitions of 50% of maximal resistance of 1 Repetition Maximum and once with 10 repetitions of 75% of 1 Repetition Maximum. Heart rate was measured continuously while blood pressure and blood lactate levels were measured before exercise and after the conclusion of each set. Heart rate, blood pressure, and blood lactate levels increased significantly more following the 20, lower load repetition sets compared to the higher load 10 repetition sets. We conclude that high load low repetition exercise is less demanding on the cardiovascular system compared to lower load high repetition exercise, which should be considered in prescribing physical activity to older beginners and cardiac rehabilitation patients.

Static and dynamic balance can be influenced by many factors. However, there is limited evidence regarding the effects that shoe sole hardness may have on balance. The aim of our study was to investigate effects of different sports shoes and bare feet on static and dynamic balance in healthy female individuals. Seventeen female participants were included in our study. All participants were assessed with bare feet, hard-support sports shoes and soft-foam sports shoes. The order of the assessment for each participant was randomly determined using an online random allocation software. The SportKAT 3000® device was used to assess dynamic double feet, static double feet, dominant foot and non-dominant foot balance. Static balance showed no significant difference between bare feet, hard-support and soft-foam sports shoes (pdouble feet=0.390, pdominant side=0.465, pnon-dominant side=0.494).Difference for dynamic balance was statistically significant between bare foot, soft-foam and hard-support sports shoes (p=0.003). When investigating this difference in dynamic balance with dual comparisons, significant differences were confirmed between hard-support and bare foot (p=0.010) and between soft-foam and bare foot (p=0.001). No difference in static balance is present between the no-shoe and both shoe conditions. Different outcomes regarding dynamic balance were observed between bare feet and both shoe conditions. However, hard surface and soft surface shoes did not differ during the dynamic task condition. Therefore, the purchase of a running shoe may be decided according to the preferred footwear.

High relationships between muscle strength and various forms of jumps are usually based on the research samples of professional athletes or students of sports and physical education. However such studies are less known in the case of recreational women. This study aimed to determine the relationship between isokinetic parameters of knee joint muscle strength with the efficiency of performing vertical jumps. The sample represents a group of 16 healthy and physically active women (age=31.04±3.71; height 168.13±8.34; weight 59.80±9.80). Knee extensors and flexors were evaluated by using an isokinetic dynamometer, while the two-foot vertical jump performance was measured using the Opto Jump System. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine correlation magnitude (p<.05). The obtained results indicated high correlations of the knee extension peak torque dominant leg (KEPT D), knee extension peak torque non-dominant leg (KEPT ND) and knee flexion peak torque non-dominant leg (KFPT ND) with counter movement jump free arms (CMJFA) (r=.525; r=.511; r=.594; p<.05). High correlations was also indicated between KFPT ND with counter movement jump (CMJ) (r=.514; p<.05). Given that these are recreational women, we can assume that the countermovement free arm jump type was the most natural form of expressing their explosive potential. It is certainly important that future studies further examine the relationships between muscle strength and performance of primary and specific motor tasks in recreational women.

A-mode ultrasound is a noninvasive, rapid method for measuring subcutaneous fat thickness and estimating body fat percentage (%BF). Validity and reliability of the BodyMetrix BX2000 A-mode ultrasound has been reported; however, this study aimed to compare results from two machines to determine interdevice reliability. Ultrasound measures were repeated with two BX2000 machines at 10 body sites (chest, biceps, triceps, scapula, lower back, hip, waist, thigh, calf, axilla) on 42 males of varying age and leanness (age: 28.6±11.9 y, BMI: 25.4±4.6 kg/m2). The intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.939 to 0.998 with standard errors of measurement from 0.31 to 0.58 mm of fat thickness. The largest mean difference between devices was 0.37 mm at the scapula. The difference between machines in %BF was not significant (0.34%BF; p=0.09). The interdevice reliability is similar to the previously reported test-retest reliability with no clinical significance between machines.

Basketball is a complex sports game, interrupted by the constant change of defense and offense, and it is a combination of cyclic and most often acyclic movements. Since basketball involves sudden and intense changes in the movement direction, high frequencies of initiating dribbling and movement in posture, stoppings, and physical contact allowed by game rules, there is a link between the abilities needed for successful basketball playing and playing positions. This research aimed to determine the differences in motoric abilities, i.e. the change of direction speed, explosive strength, and running speed of basketball players who compete in different ranks of the competition in relation to the playing positions. The sample of 25 basketball players was divided into two subsamples in relation to the rank of the competition (elite and sub-elite). Eleven motoric ability tests were used in the study (change of direction speed – four tests, explosive strength – four tests, and running speed – three tests). Applying the analysis of variance (ANOVA and MANOVA), differences in motoric abilities were determined between basketball players of different ranks of a competition in relation to the playing positions in the team. Based on the results, a conclusion was reached that the players differ in favor of a higher rank of a competition in the tested abilities, namely those ones who play in the forward position. It can be inferred that a higher rank of a competition requires better quality preparation and players who differ in tactical thinking and better performance of measured abilities.

Weightlifting is a type of sport that demands beneficial complementary supplements. This is because of the highly intensive training and tight schedules, which requires the body to be maintained at the prime condition to avoid injury. Furthermore, supplements and natural products are needed to accelerate athletes' recovery and avoid doping. Cinnamon is a good natural product that contains phenol and cinnamaldehyde antioxidant content. This study used a double-blind one-way crossover design approach on 16 male athletes with the lowest experience competing in Southeast Asia. The athletes consumed 500 mg of cinnamon extract for 8 weeks and entered a 4 and 8 week washout phase and placebo, respectively. The performance tests were conducted by match simulations, such as snatch and clean and jerk. Creatine kinase (CK), C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate were tested to determine fatigue levels and accelerate recovery. According to the results, significant changes occurred for CK and CRP of p<0.005, glucose p<0.048, and lactate at p<0.012 with no effects on performance. Conclusion: Cinnamon extract significantly affects CK, CRP, lactate, and glucose without any notable effects on performance.
