Published: August 2023

This study was made to determine the effect of storage temperature and storage time on somatic cell counts (SCCs) in buffalo milk samples from quarters with no signs of clinical mastitis. The critical limit of SCC in raw buffalo milk is around 400,000 cells/mL. SCCs were measured in 32 Murrah buffalo milk samples by direct microscopic method. Milk samples were grouped from high score (> 3.50×105 cells/mL) to low score (< 1.50×105 cells/mL) according to the SCC. Each milk sample was divided into 3 aliquots and stored at 3 different temperatures (4°C, 21°C and 37°C). The SCC was recorded every hour up to 4 h and every 2 h up to 12 h. Storage of buffalo milk with a high SCC for 4 h at 4°C and 2 h at both 21°C and 37°C, respectively, decreased the log10 value of SCC compared to fresh milk. The log 10 value of buffalo milk SCC was lower after 1 h of storage than that determined for fresh milk at any tested temperature in low SCC samples. The results sugges that irrespective of storage temperature, buffalo milk samples should not be stored for more than 2 h before measurement of SCC by direct microscopic method.

The present research work was proposed to compare the expression of development related genes (Igf2 and Igf2r) among diploid parthenogenetic (DIP), female sexed in vivo and female sexed in vitro produced embryonic cell colony. The good quality caprine oocytes were matured in presence of cytochalasin B (CCB) and activated by ethanol (7%) for 5 min followed by incubation with 2 mM 6-dimethyl amino purine (DMAP) for 4 h for DIP embryos production and embryo development was recorded. We have explored comparative expression profile of paternally (Igf2r) and maternally (Igf2) imprinted genes among DIP, female sexed IVF and female sexed in vivo derived embryos. Embryonic cell colony were developed from 8–16 and morula stage DIP, IVF and in vivo derived embryos and these colonies were used for studying the paternal and maternal imprinted genes. Overall, we observed higher expression of maternally expressed genes (Igf2r) in DIP compared to in vivo and IVF derived embryonic cell colony. The expression of paternal genes (Igf2) was low in DIP compared to in vivo and IVF derived embryonic cell colony.

Published: August 2023

Major concern of today’s agriculture and allied sector is to tumble wastage and increase farmers’ income. Post harvest operation and value addition of the farm products is one important way to attain this goal. Even if Indian dairy sector has a well renowned position in the world milk market in terms of production, processing and value addition percentage at the farmer level is not in a recognisable stage. Marketing channels, marketing efficiency and price spread of the identified marketing channels among milk producers and milk processors have been analysed here. Comparative study of the producers share in consumer’s rupee of value added milk products and liquid milk showed a significant difference. It was more than 96% in processing of milk and nearly 85% in raw milk. Marketing efficiency analysis showed that channel I (Producer –Consumer) was the most efficient in both group. Price of value added food (Mean Ranks of Friedman’s test is 9.10) was the most important factor which attracts the milk processors to take value addition and post harvest management decisions. Infrastructure related constraints (Mean Rank of Kruskal-Wallis test 28.70) were the major constraint faced by the dairy processors. Under that lack of power and electricity and non-availability of machineries in local places (Mean Ranks of Friedman’s test is 7.70) were identified as the major constraints in the study area. As per the milk producers, technical inhibiting factors (Mean Rank of Kruskal-Wallis test 40.25) prevent them from undertaking the post harvest operations and value addition in raw milk.

Published: August 2023

Finishing diets containing 15% DDGS with 0, 0.22, and 0.44% condensed tannin did not affect average daily gain, but linearly increased dry matter intake. Tannin supplementation linearly decreased gain efficiency, and estimated dietary NE. Carcass characteristics were not affected by tannin supplementation. Therefore, tannins supplementation did not enhance growth performance of yearling steers fed a high-energy finishing diet containing 15% DDGS, and may decrease efficiency of energy utilization.

This article is a reflection on social vulnerabilities based on the concepts of work, poverty, inequalities and Law, as well as the social and political implications. The objective is to understand whether, in the perspective of the current socioeconomic and meritocratic structure, vulnerabilities are caused by wealth itself. Poverty in Brazil is also associated with the absence of ethical behavior allied to the limited concept of financial development. It also seeks to demonstrate that ethics plays a relevant conditioning role in the social development project. As for the design of the methodology, the research is exploratory bibliographic with a qualitative approach. In view of this, it is concluded that it is important to rethink the way of living and of disposing of productive resources, in addition to the importance of policies that make education a means of promoting alterity and autonomy that result in conscious, responsible and subsidiary attitudes.

Published: August 2023

Obesity is a chronic disease that corresponds to excess accumulated fat, has a multifactorial etiology, and is a risk factor for other chronic pathologies. Changes in the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota are increasingly associated with various disease states, including obesity and behavioral disorders. Evidence shows that in obese individuals there are more bacteria of the phylum Firmicutes, than in a person with eutrophic weight, there is more imbalance of the microbiota influenced by the increase in the energetic extraction of the components of the diet, lipogenesis, and intestinal permeability. Thus, studies have shown therapeutic action through intestinal modulation with functional foods, using probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics, since it is necessary to reduce the public costs assigned to obesity. This work aims to describe the action of probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics along with a balanced diet for obese adults. This is a systematic review of the literature conducted with publication in the period from 2011 to 2021, which used as database the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Pubmed), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) and Virtual Health Library (VHL). In the studies evaluated, the most used strains and concentrations were Bifidobacterium and Lactobacills at 1010 CFU/g. With the results of decreased body composition such as body fat mass, waist circumference, energy intake and body weight and that the use of these supplements can modulate the human gut microbiota, increasing potentially beneficial microbial species.

Salicornia neei is a halophyte plant that has a high interest in food, pharmaceuticals, and health maintenance. In this work, the objective was to evaluate the allelopathic effect of extracts prepared with the root, stem, and leaves of Salicornia neei applied to smooth lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seeds. For this, the extracts were prepared using 1g (root, stem, and leaf) macerated and solubilized in water. Then, the smooth lettuce seeds were soaked in the extracts for 30 and 60 minutes. The influence of the extracts on root growth (CR), germination percentage (PG) and germination index (GI) were evaluated. The results showed that the number of lettuce seeds germinated (after soaking for 30 min and 60 min) in all extracts of S. neei (root, stem, and leaf) was higher than the number of germinated seeds in the control treatment. In addition, the maximum germination percentage (PG) was obtained after treatment with seeds soaked in the extracts of S.neei leaf (soaking for 30min) and extract of S.neei root (soaking for 30min), both with PG of 130%. On the other hand, the maximum germination index (GI%) occurred after soaking treatment (for 60min) with S.neei leaf extract.In addition, the extract with the greatest biostimulant potential in root growth was the extract of Salicornia neei leaves (soaked for 60min). Therefore, the investigations carried out in this study show that the seed of smooth lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. capitata) soaked in leaf and root extract for 30 min were the ones that most promoted germination in smooth lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. capitate).

Published: August 2023

Predmet rada je analiza pismene forme arbitražnog sporazuma u savremenom uporednom i međunarodnom pravu. Opravdana očekivanja privrednih subjekata u pravnom prometu, kao i pojava savremenih sredstava komunikacije dovele su do različitih inicijativa na polju uređivanja forme sporazuma o arbitraži, od čega se u pogledu korektivnih tehnika uočava prezumpcija ispunjenja pismene forme u slučajevima kada se, po tradicionalnom određenju pismene forme, ne bi uzelo da ona postoji. Jedan od načina izbegavanja pravila o strogoj pismenoj formi jeste pretpostavka postojanja sporazuma o arbitraži u slučaju prekluzije prava na isticanje prigovora nenadležnosti arbitražnog suda. Od naročitog značaja je i tehnika zaključenja sporazuma o arbitraži upućivanjem, pozivanjem na drugi pravni akt ili opšte uslove koji u sebi sadrže i arbitražnu klauzulu, pa se u teoriji postavilo i pitanje da li upućivanje treba da bude izričito, ili da se iz njegove sadržine može naslutiti da je cilj upućivanja da se zaključi arbitražni sporazum. Rad se bavi analizom ovih pitanja i preispitivanjem funkcije forme arbitražnog sporazuma u poređenju sa tradicionalnim funkcijama forme kod ugovora građanskog prava, imajući u vidu njegove specifičnosti, pri čemu se kao primarna funkcija forme navodi funkcija obezbeđivanja pouzdanog dokaza o postojanju i sadržini sporazuma o arbitraži.
A REVIEW OF ALCOHOL AND SMOKE'S IMPACT ON HAEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS
Authors: PAL AISHWARY , DEY PARAMITA
Published: August 2023

Alcohol and tobacco consumption are significant social and economic health is-
sues, causing liver, kidney, blood cancer, central nervous system, and hematopoietic sys-
tem issues. Anaemia is a common condition among smokers and regular drinkers, as alco-
hol and tobacco consumption cause early red blood cell destruction, increasing the risk of
anaemia. This study measures total red blood cell count, haemoglobin, total white blood
cell count, mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), MCH concentration (MCHC), erythro-
cyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and platelets in moderate-smoking individuals. Results
show that smokers and alcoholics have haematological parameter disorders. Assessing
low haemoglobin levels in smokers and alcoholics will contribute to raising awareness of
haematological parameter disorders.

A Comparison of the Transition of Denver Neighborhood Crime from 2000 to 2010
Authors:   , Muenkel David
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this project was to study crime in the City of Denver, Colorado and show how crime moves between neighborhoods over time. The study involved looking at crimes aggregated at the neighborhood level to determine how crime transitioned within the City of Denver from 2000 to 2010. The crime data was also compared with calls for service to determine how police activity and citizen reporting related to crime in the City of Denver. The results indicated that the City of Denver, while increasing in population from 554,636 in 2000 to 600,156 in 2010 had a reduction in the total number of reported crimes from 41,143 in 2000 to 37,340 in 2010 although there was fluctuation from year to year during this decade. The citizen and police response to crime indicated that at both the city and neighborhood level, increase in crime was typically coincident with an increase in citizen initiated calls for service, which resulted in a subsequent increase in police presence, quantified by police officer initiated calls for service. The resulting increase in police activity produced a reduced the number of crimes for the affected area, which coincided with a reduction in citizen calls. This suggests that calls for service initiated by a community are a leading indicator that crime is on the rise, and the subsequent police response reduces an area’s crime. This cause and effect relationship is evident at both the city and neighborhood level.
Analysis of Spelling Errors in Moore by Teachers in French/Moore Bilingual Classes in Burkina Faso
Authors: Tırogo Issoufou François
Published: August 2023

This study focuses on the analysis of spelling errors in Moore made by teachers in French/Moore bilingual classes in Burkina Faso. The problem raised by this research is that a good number of studies are interested in the orthographic productions of learners without questioning the quality of the designs of teachers' educational sheets. We wondered whether the learners' lack of mastery of the spelling rules is not partly linked to the shortcomings of their teachers, especially in the field of national languages such as Moore. Therefore, this study aims at identifying the different categories of errors made by teachers while highlighting the origin of these errors. From a corpus made up of preparation sheets for Mathematics lessons, the hypotheses confronted with the results led to recommendations for remediation in order to contribute somewhat to improving the quality of the teaching of Mathematics in Moore in bilingual French/Moore classes in Burkina Faso.

Published: August 2023

Focos de infecção na boca são relacionados com comprometimento da saúde, sendo uma complicação frequente nos pacientes internados em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), pelo fato de não possuírem higienização bucaladequada. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a higienização bucal com água filtrada, digluconato de clorexidina e extrato etanólico de própolis em pacientes internados na UTI. Foram 150 pacientes, divididos em 3 grupos de50 indivíduos para cada substância. Antes da higienização foi realizado exame clínico da boca, em seguida duas coletas para pesquisa de microrganismos, uma antes e outra após a higienização. Os pacientes apresentavam gengivites,periodontites, lesões bucais, cáries e raízes residuais. Higienização com água filtrada reduziu a presença de leveduras, fungos filamentosos e bactérias em consequência da atividade mecânica de remoção de resíduos. Digluconato declorexidina a 0,12% inibiu o crescimento de leveduras e reduziu o isolamento de fungos filamentosos e bactérias nos três dias de higienização. Extrato etanólico de própolis a 6% inibiu o crescimento de leveduras, não alterou o isolamento defungos filamentosos e diminuiu consideravelmente o isolamento de bactérias. Digluconato de clorexidina a 0,12% e o extrato etanólico de própolis a 6% apresentaram resultados semelhantes com a vantagem do extrato etanólico de própolis ser um produto natural que não causa com o uso diário efeitos colaterais indesejáveis como manchas nos dentes e na língua, perda do paladar e sensação de queimação na mucosa bucal

Der Besitzdiener
Authors: Dietzel Nicolas
Published: August 2023

Since the introduction of the BGB, the “Besitzdiener” has been an important component of German property law. While the groups of persons assigned to the legal institution changed, the legal regulation remained the same. Jurisprudence and literature have also made only minor adjustments to the prerequisites for the definition of the “Besitzdiener”. The norm is therefore under pressure to develop. This paper addresses the question of whether jurisprudence and literature can bring § 855 BGB into the present with respect to its prerequisites - e.g., with respect to the "soziales Abhängigkeitsverhältnis" - and in practice - e.g., with respect to the test drive - or whether a new concept of the “Besitzdiener” is needed.

This study is the first to comprehensively address the metapoetry of the Büchner Prize winner Ernst Meister in terms of its development and the richness of its facets. In his poetry, to what extent does the poet and thinker reflect on the process of its creation and its perception? Which poetological metaphors did he use to formulate his lyrical thoughts? In a longitudinal section, analyses and interpretations of poems from all phases of his oeuvre are undertaken on the basis of these and other research questions. In this respect, it is often an investigation of Meister’s estate poetry and textual geneses that provides insights into his poetological linguistic images and working methods in the dynamic creative process.
The Effect of the Isolator Size on the Efficiency of Rotary Piston Compressors
Authors: Savvakis Savvas , Damianos Sotirios , Zoumpourlos Konstantinos
Published: August 2023

A hybrid renewable-hydrogen green energy system combines renewable energy sources with hydrogen production and storage technologies to create a sustainable and efficient energy system. One of the major components of such systems is compressors, which influence the system’s overall efficiency. Therefore, this research paper will study design modifications that improve the efficiency of these components. More precisely, this study examines the correlation between a concentric rotary piston compressor isolator size and efficiency. The objective is to determine the significance of size on the compressor’s performance. Two distinct mechanisms and operational designs employed in such compressors are investigated. Irrespective of the compressor design, it is revealed that the isolator’s diameter considerably impacts the pressure ratio of these rotary compressors. Specifically, the conclusion is that a larger isolator increases efficiency; a 35% larger RSP diameter results in a 145% increase in peak pressure for Mechanism 1. A 100% larger RSP diameter yields a 180% boost in peak pressure for Mechanism 2.

Context: Omicron is a new type of SARS-CoV-2 that is considered the most dangerous one so far because despite emerging new variants such as XE, no more dangerous strain than omicron has been identified. On November 24, 2021, World Health Organization identified the Omicron as a global threat. High genetic mutations of Omicron makes it more dangerous than other SARS-CoV-2 variants. This manuscript conducted to systematically collect and provide the effect of COVID-19 on public health: The latest physical activity and diet update for counteracting new emerging COVID-19 strains (Omicron) and stay active and do not lay on the vaccine alone. Evidence Acquisition: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus from January 2020 to November 2021. 3241 articles related to COVID-19 were found and based on filters such as: Physical activity, Omicron, nutrition, immune system, 36 research articles were studied. Results: Studies have shown that regular exercises with low and moderate intensity can have a favorable effect by improving the function of the immune system in reducing the risks of COVID-19 disease. Also, proper nutrition, especially if it is combined with regular exercise, has favorable effects on the immune system of patients with COVID-19. Conclusions: It seems that regular and long-term physical activity with low to moderate intensities (not high intensities) considering a suitable diet regime can have a favorable effect on the immune system of patients with COVID-19.

Background: Regarding sports drinks' role in substrate oxidation, the present study investigated the effect of grape syrup intake on metabolic rate and substrate oxidation after sprint intermittent exercise in active male students. Methods: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, 12 active male college students (body mass = 62.77 ± 9.05 kg; height = 173 ± 6.78 cm; BMI = 21 ± 2.5 kg/m2) performed two separate exercise sessions after grape syrup (1.1 mL/kg. body weight) or placebo intake. In each of the intervention sessions, the subject first took the desired dose of the supplement or placebo and after 60 minutes performed Sprint Intermittent Exercise or SIE protocol (four 30-second Wingate tests (75g/kg body weight) with a 5-minute rest period). Energy expenditure (EE), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), fat oxidation (FO), heart rate (HR), and oxygen intake (VO2) were assessed 5 minutes before, during, and 30 minutes after exercise. Statistical analysis was performed using mixed-model ANOVA with repeated measures. Results: The results showed only between-group differences in respiratory exchange ratio (P = 0.04). However, the effect of time was significant between different situations (before, during, and after SIE) on all variables (P < 0.05). No time-group interaction effect was also observed in investigated variables (P > 0.05). The effect of different measurement times showed that in the post-SIE period, RER and fat oxidation rate values respectively decreased and increased compared to pre-SIE (P < 0.05) in both situations. Conclusions: The grape syrup intake improved metabolic rate and substrate oxidation during the recovery period after SIE, comparable to the placebo-containing synthetic carbohydrates. Therefore, it is recommended to use this herbal supplement as a substitute for a carbohydrate drink during SIE. However, more research is needed in this case.
Socio-Culturally Different Motor Skills of Czech Children with ASD Aged 7-10 Years Assessed by the Test TGMD–3

Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are associated with gross motor development delays and a limited ability to imitate human movements. Early intervention in the field of motor skills is crucial both from the point of view of the need for comprehensive care for these children and to increase their quality of life. Diagnostic evaluation tools for use in practice are a necessary prerequisite for targeted intervention programs. The Test of Gross Motor Development–Third Edition (TGMD-3) is declared for use in children with ASD (Ulrich, 2019). The TGMD-3 was developed in the USA and consists of two subtests – Locomotor and Ball skills. The Ball skills subtest contains culturally different elements such as strike stationary ball and underhand throw, performed according to US practice. For these reasons, modifications have been made in some countries in the European socio-cultural environment (Wagner et al., 2017) that do not include these elements typical of the US environment. The aim of this study was 1) to record and describe the reactions of children with ASD to culturally different elements in the ball skills subtest in the TGMD-3 motor test and 2) to compare their evaluation with other items of this subtest.

 

Methods: This pilot study included 16 children with ASD aged 7-10 years. A total of 1 girl and 15 boys were evaluated by the TGMD-3 motor test using visual support. (Allen et al., 2017) Four independent examiners assessed participants' physical performance by following the instructions of the Examiner's Manual Test TGMD-3 3.

 

Results: The results of the study are presented in the form of case studies of individual participants, which allow for further research in this heterogeneous population of children with ASD with better descriptive and comparative possibilities than statistical numerical expression. The limited ability to imitate, which is characteristic of children with ASD, is likely to have a significant effect on culturally dissimilar designs, especially the Underhand throw. The two-hand strike of a stationary ball's culturally different skill was very motivating for children with ASD aged 7-10.

 

Conclusion: The limiting factor for generalization to the entire population of children with ASD aged 7-10 in the Czech socio-cultural environment is their small number and heterogeneity, which were affected by restrictive measures during the Covid-19 pandemic. Further research using the TGMD-3 instrument in the Czech population has the potential to expand diagnostic methods in the field of motor skills and contribute to the possibilities of early physical intervention in children with ASD.

Objectives: The objective of the evaluation was to study and determine the impact of eight weeks of aerobic training (AT) on liver enzymes and changes in hematological profile in children with leukemia.Methods: This is a semi-experimental and applied study. Statistical samples include 24 children aged 7 to 10 years that referred to hospital and were divided randomly into two control (n=12) and experimental (n=12) groups. Eight-week AT with 40 to 70 percent of heart rate reserve, three sessions per week, no exercise training program was observed in the controls during the study. We measure Liver enzymes such as Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Hemoglobin (Hb), White Blood Cells (WBC), platelets (PLT), and bilirubin. Data analysis using a paired t-test and analysis of covariance was performed with software SPSS version 20.Results: The results showed that moderate-intensity AT has a significant effect on hemoglobin and liver enzyme levels and a significant increase in Hb (p<0.05) and significant reduction the ALT and AST (p<0.05) whereas there was no significant influence on WBC, ALT, and bilirubin (p>0.05).Conclusion: AT may accelerate the oxygen supply and reduce liver damage caused by medications in children diagnosed with leukemia without having corrupting effect on PLT, bilirubin, and safety factors.

The purpose was to investigate whether runners who do not squat their body weight once will not be overloaded with a weight vest with a load of 5% of BW and will not maintain 95% intensity across ten repetitions of a 20-meter sprint. Eight adult female students (24,05±1,15 years old; body height 168±4,24 cm; body weight 60,39±5,53 kg) from the faculty of sports studies at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic participated in this study. Categories were: 1 = NBW (1RM in the squat is relative body weight ± 5 kg), 2 = LBW (1RM in the squat is lower than BW-5 kg) and 3 = HBW (1RM in the squat is higher than BW +5 kg). The measurements took place on three different days, each day running with another experimental condition: free sprinting, weighted vest sprinting with a 5% load of BW, and weighted vest sprinting with a 5% load of 1RM squat. With a weight vest with resistance at the level of 5% of body weight, during 49 sprints, the intensity decreased by a maximum of 4.82% (participant 4, NBW group, 1st run). Although, with weight vest resistance at the level of 5% of the 1RM back squats, during 68 sprints, the intensity decreased by a maximum of 6.59% (participant 1, NBW group, 8th run). It seems that the level of strength abilities of the lower limbs did not play a role in this, we can calculate 5% intensity from both BW and 1 RM squat. Since the HBW group could maintain the required intensity even at significantly higher weights than 5% BW, further research with a larger research sample is needed.
Effects of 4-week Olympic weightlifting training on speed and power performance in recreational athletes
Authors: Veršić Šime
Published: August 2023

Olympic weightlifting (OW) is sport with high strength and power demands where athletes need to explosively lift heavy weights. It is consisted of barbell lifting snatch and clean and jerk disciplines. In the strength and conditioning training, OW techniques are often used as a method for speed and power development. The aim of this study was to determine effects of 4-week OW training intervention on speed, agility and power performance among young recreational athletes. The sample of participants consisted of 12 Kinesiology students (average 23 years old). They attended the Olympic Weightlifting course. The training intervention lasted 4 weeks and with 3 training sessions per week in which participants practiced OW training based on learning OW techniques and auxiliary lifts execution. Before and after the intervention, measurement was conducted and included power, speed and agility tests. Squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ) and drop jump (DJ) were used to estimated lower body power and medicine ball throw (MBT) for upper body power. Sprinting on 5 meters (S5) and 15 meters (S15) were conducted as power and speed tests, while 20 yards test (20Y) measured nonreactive agility performance. All variables were descriptively analysed and T-test for dependent samples was used to determine possible effects of training intervention. Results showed improvement in jumping capacities, with statistically significant difference noted only for CMJ (p>0.01). Upper body power and agility performance did not show any significant changes, while a decline in sprinting performance was found for both S5 (p>0.01) and S15 (p>0.01). While the results in jumping variables are expected and in accordance with current scientific knowledge, the results in sprint tests are somewhat confusing. Possible explanation for this can be found in the fact that the participants worked for four weeks the tasks that biomechanically are not similar to the structure of sprinting movement. This could suggest that athletes who want to improve their explosive speed capacities should include specific sprint stimuli in their training program in addition to OW training program. In the future, more variables and longer treatment duration need to be applied.

Published: August 2023

The study describes the cardiorespiratory and statistics performance of ice hockey players during the season of 2020 after the COVID-19 lockdown’. Eight elite Czech male players (4 non-COVID-19 and 4 COVID-19 groups) were evaluated before and after the competition season. Players performed a cardiorespiratory exercise test and the maximal oxygen consumption, ventilatory threshold, respiratory compensation point, maximal heart rate and test time were measured. The number of matches, goals and plus/minus statistics were retained. No significant differences between groups before and after the season for all cardiorespiratory responses were found, and the no-COVID-19 group played more games. The conclusion highlights that the cardiorespiratory performance place all players (with and without COVID-19 history) in similar conditions to be prepared for the next season. Due to a wide variation among players’ statistics, based on plus/minus parameters, cannot be established that the 2020 season impaired the players’ statistics.
