Abstract
Luders, J, Garrett, J, Gleadhill, S, Mathews, L, and Bennett, H. Comparative effects of complex contrast training and traditional training methods on physical performance within female, semiprofessional Australian Rules Football players. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2024—This study aimed to explore whether complex contrast training (CCT) would elicit greater strength and power adaptations than traditional (TRAD) training methods using a volume- and intensity-matched design. Fourteen semiprofessional female Australian Football players completed the study. Both CCT and TRAD saw improvements in all performance outcomes: 1 repetition maximum (1RM) back squat (21.3 ± 8.2 and 16.7 ± 6.8 kg), 1RM bench press (5.3 ± 3.6 and 2.1 ± 4.0 kg), 1RM trap bar deadlift (5.0 ± 6.6 and 11.3 ± 2.5 kg), 5 m sprint (0.002 ± 0.09 and 0.02 ± 0.2 s), 10 m sprint (0.04 ± 0.17 and 0.02 ± 0.1 s), 15 m sprint (0.009 ± 0.15 and 0.08 ± 0.2 s), countermovement jump (CMJ) height (230 ± 150 and 340 ± 390 cm), CMJ absolute peak power (158.5 ± 69.6 and 235.6 ± 229.6 N), CMJ relative peak power (3.46 ± 4.1 and 2.68 ± 1.4 N·kg−1)), and plyometric push-up peak relative power (20.5 ± 13.4 and 15.2 ± 13.5 N). There were no between-group differences except for TRAD recording slightly greater improvements in 1RM Trap bar deadlift (Bayes factor [BF10] = 1.210). Complex contrast training completed sessions on average ∼7 minutes quicker than TRAD (BF10 = 5.722), while both groups reporting similar ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) with CCT (±SD) 58.4 ± 6.7 minutes and TRAD 65.5 ± 4.8. Based on the results, CCT training provides the same performance outcomes as traditional training methods across a period of 8 weeks, while taking less time to achieve these outcomes and with similar RPE.

Abstract
García-Sánchez, C, Navarro, RM, Nieto-Acevedo, R, and de la Rubia, A. Is match playing time a potential tool for managing load in women's handball? J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2024—The aim of this study was to explore the external load experienced by female handball players according to the time played in official matches (≥40, <40, and ≤20 minutes) and in relation to playing positions (backs, pivots, and wings). Twenty-two female players from the Spanish second Division were monitored across 13 matches. Total distance covered, high-speed running distance (HSR), accelerations, decelerations, and PlayerLoad were collected in absolute and relative values using a local positioning system (WIMU PRO, Realtrack Systems SL, Almería, Spain). One-way ANOVA with partial eta-squared and Cohen's d were used to determine the differences between playing time groups and between playing positions. This study revealed that players with more match playing time had a higher absolute values in all external load variables (p < 0.001; very large effects), except in HSR where only wings showed higher values according to the time played (p < 0.001; very large effects). However, these differences between playing time groups disappear when the external load values were normalized according to the effective playing time (p > 0.05). In relation to playing positions, wings covered more HSR/minutes than the other playing positions regardless of the playing time (p < 0.05; large effects). In addition, backs performed more ACC/minutes than wings in the high playing time group and more than pivots in the low playing time group (p < 0.05, moderate effects). In addition, backs performed more DEC/minutes than wings in the low playing time group (p < 0.05, moderate effects). Therefore, handball coaches should consider the playing time as an effective tool to optimize the weekly load distribution.

Abstract
Allsopp, GL, Britto, FA, Wright, CR, and Deldicque, L. The effects of normobaric hypoxia on the acute physiological responses to resistance training: a narrative review. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2024—Athletes have used altitude training for many years as a strategy to improve endurance performance. The use of resistance training in simulated altitude (normobaric hypoxia) is a growing strategy that aims to improve the hypertrophy and strength adaptations to training. An increasing breadth of research has characterized the acute physiological responses to resistance training in hypoxia, often with the goal to elucidate the mechanisms by which hypoxia may improve the training adaptations. There is currently no consensus on the overall effectiveness of hypoxic resistance training for strength and hypertrophy adaptations, nor the underlying biochemical pathways involved. There are, however, numerous interesting physiological responses that are amplified by performing resistance training in hypoxia. These include potential changes to the energy system contribution to exercise and alterations to the level of metabolic stress, hormone and cytokine production, autonomic regulation, and other hypoxia-induced cellular pathways. This review describes the foundational exercise physiology underpinning the acute responses to resistance training in normobaric hypoxia, potential applications to clinical populations, including training considerations for athletic populations. The review also presents a summary of the ideal training parameters to promote metabolic stress and associated training adaptations. There are currently many gaps in our understanding of the physiological responses to hypoxic resistance training, partly caused by the infancy of the research field and diversity of hypoxic and training parameters.

AbstractPoulios, A, Fotiou, C, Draganidis, D, Avloniti, A, Rosvoglou, A, Batrakoulis, A, Tsimeas, P, Papanikolaou, K, Deli, CK, Stampoulis, T, Douroudos, II, Chatzinikolaou, A, Jamurtas, AZ, and Fatouros, IG. The energy expenditure associated with body-weight resistance exercises of various movement patterns performed at different durations.J Strength Cond ResXX(X): 000–000, 2024—Although body-weight resistance exercises (BWRE) are popular and effective for body mass reduction and neuromuscular performance, limited information exists regarding their total energy expenditure (TEE). This study determined the energy cost associated with seven BWRE of different movement patterns plank, push-ups, squat, single-leg squat [SLS], forward lunge [FL], burpees, and jumping jacks [JJ] using 2 different durations (T30: 30-second; T45: 45-second) in 10 healthy young adults using a randomized, 2-trial, crossover, repeated-measures design. The level of significance was set atp≤ 0.05. The burpees were associated with the highest and the plank with the lowest intensity (rates of perceived exertion [RPE] and mean heart rate [MHR]) and metabolic load (blood lactate [BL] accumulation, metabolic equivalents of task [METs], and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption [EPOC]) in both trials. In T30 and T45, TEE (kcals per minute) was 11.3/12.6 in plank, 18.6/22.0 in FL, 19.8/21.2 in SLS, 19.9/23.2 in squat, 22.0/24.9 in push-ups, 23.1/22.8 in JJ, and 32.2/40.7 in burpees. Although RPE, MHR, BL, and EPOC were comparable among T30 and T45, METs and TEE were greater in T45. These results suggest that TEE of BWRE ranges from ∼11 to 40 kcals·min−1, depending on the movement pattern and the duration of exercise. This information may be valuable for those using BWRE for body-weight management and improvement of strength performance.

Published: August 2024

Ensuring the halal status of a product involves utilizing the services of a halal certification body, offering legal protection and confidence in halal product assurance for Muslim consumers. Indonesia is currently in the process of transitioning the certification authority from the non-governmental organization MUI to the government agency BPJPH under the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The halal certification mechanism through BPJPH closely aligns with the established process carried out by MUI. Similarly, Turkey has established the Halal Accreditation Authority (HAK) to guarantee the legal certainty of halal products, providing accreditation services for halal conformity assessment agencies. This study uses a descriptive method with a comparative approach. Focuses on positive legal nor governing the implementation of halal product between Halal Prodyct Assurance (JPH) and Halal Accreditation Authority (HAK). The findings reveal that in order to implement the Halal Product Assurance (JPH) system, the Indonesian government established the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH). The establishment of a globally recognized halal certification system and the removal of trade barriers in halal goods and services require the effective execution of responsibilities, as demonstrated by Turkey through the activities of the Halal Accreditation Authority (HAK). Turkey's strategy for ensuring the genuineness of halal products involves the Halal Accreditation Authority, tasked with evaluating, accrediting, and supervising the competence of halal conformity assessment bodies. This procedural framework aligns with both national regulations and international standards, incorporating additional technical regulations specified in the accreditation body's implementation documents.

Aim. To study the in-hospital outcomes of patients with residual shunt (RS) through the occluder and identify predictors of its formation after endovascular patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure.Material and methods. We analyzed the data of 276 patients who underwent endovascular PFO closure for the period 2018-2023 at the Chazov National Medical Research Center. All patients underwent a scope of examinations that complied with clinical recommendations. RS in the postoperative period was assessed based on Transesophageal echocardiogram bubble study. Univariate regression analysis revealed RS predictors.Results. RS in the postoperative period was visualized in 50 patients, who, in terms of the incidence of in-hospital complications, were comparable to 226 patients without RS (p>0,05). Univariate regression analysis revealed the following indicators associated with postoperative RS: implantation of the Amplatzer PFO or Figulla Flex UNI occluder (odds ratio (OR) 8,87; 95% confidence interval (CI): 3,09-25,49), Chiari network (OR 8,26; 95% CI: 1,91-35,81), Olivares-Reyes class >3 interatrial septum aneurysm (OR 2,37; 95% CI: 1,27-4,43), as well as LAVi ≥34 ml/m2 (OR 4,01; 95% CI: 1,33-12,09) (p<0,05).Conclusion. The use of Amplatzer PFO or Figulla Flex UNI occluders, the presence of a Chiari network, signs of left atrium dilatation, and Olivares-Reyes class >3 aneurysm were significant RS predictors.

Objective: Although the adverse effects of smoking are well-established, evidence shows a longer survival rate following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) among smokers or the so-called “smoker's paradox”. This study aimed to determine the impact of smoking on the one-year clinical outcomes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in a large registry of the Iranian population.
Methods: A total of 3087 patients diagnosed with acute STEMI who underwent PPCI between 2013 and 2018 were enrolled in the study. Patients' smoking status was determined based on self-reported history and categorized into two groups: current smokers and non-smokers. Clinical and angiographic data were collected from the Tehran Heart Center (THC) registry. The primary outcome was one-year of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). The effect of smoking on MACCE was evaluated using a Cox model.
Results: From the study population, 1967 (63.7%) were non-smokers, and 1120 (36.3%) were current smokers. Non-smokers had higher rates of prior CABG (5.3%) as well as a higher history of co-morbidities, including a history of diabetes mellitus (46.0%), hypertension (52.7%) and hyperlipidemia (55.4%) than smokers (2.3%, 30.4%, 35.7%, and 49.8% respectively). Smokers had a higher reference vessel diameter than non-smokers (P=0.005). The unadjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for MACCE within one year were significantly lower in smokers than non-smokers (0.73, 95% CI: [0.58,0.92]; P=0.009); however, after adjustment for confounders, the HRs for MACCE in smokers were similar to non-smokers (HR: 1.00, 95% CI: [0.73,1.38]).
Conclusion: The study found that smoking had no significant impact on the one-year clinical outcomes of STEMI patients after PPCI in the Iranian population. This study is the first of its kind to assess the effect of smoking on STEMI patients in Iran and highlights the need for further research in this area.

Published: August 2024

As a healthcare writer and patient advocate for almost 30 years, I read a lot. Recently, some of that reading has been in court transcripts of doctors being persecuted out of medicine or into jail by DEA prosecutors and their hired “experts.” I use the term “persecuted” intentionally. I believe that many DEA or State Attorney General “medical experts” are simply “hired guns” – clinical predators paid large sums of money to tell stories whose details they do not actually understand.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is related to peripheral sensations and central discharge during exercise. Therefore, nutritional interventions that alleviate both peripheral and central demand during exercise may interfere on RPE response. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test the effects of acute sodium nitrate supplementation on RPE and session RPE (RPE-s) during and after high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE), respectively. Fifteen subjects were submitted to an incremental exercise test to determine maximal aerobic speed (MAS), and afterwards randomly performed two HIIE (10 x 1 min at 100% of MAS and 1 min of passive recovery) 2h30min after the ingestion 8.4 mg·kg− 1 of both sodium nitrate (SN) and placebo. The RPE was measured during the warm-up (7 min at 75% of MAS), HIIE (after each effort), and 30 min after the HIIE (RPE-s). Area under the curve of RPE during HIIE was also calculated (RPEAUC) The comparison of RPE during the effort was performed by the Friedman test, while the comparison between RPE at 75% of MAS, RPEAUC, and RPE-s was performed by paired Student’s t test. SN reduced RPE (75% of MAS) (t = 4.52; p < 0.05), RPEAUC (t = 4.28; p < 0.05), and RPE-s (t = 3.92; p < 0.05) compared to placebo. During the HIIE, SN promoted lower RPE from the 5th to the 10th effort (z = 2.6–3.0; p < 0.05). SN supplementation reduces overall RPE during warm-up, HIIE and after exercise. This indicate the SN can be used as a strategy to reduce the effort perception during intermittent exercises. Other studies may want to investigate whether SN changes interferes on training load.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT

The generation of hydropower is profoundly influenced by shifts in streamflow patterns induced by climate change. This research examines changes in streamflow and the potential surge in hydropower generation over a span of 35 years (2015–2050) at the Bhakra Dam site within the Upper Sutlej River basin. Employing a deep learning methodology, particularly the long short-term memory (LSTM) model, in conjunction with Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) 6 multi-global climate model (GCM), facilitates a thorough analysis of these dynamics. Six out of 14 bias-corrected statistically downscaled datasets (0.25° × 0.25° grid resolution) from CMIP6 multi-GCM were selected based on entropy and combined compromise solution techniques. This innovative approach is utilized to assess streamflows and project potential increases in hydropower at the Bhakra Dam site under shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) scenarios, specifically SSP245 and SSP585. The results indicate a maximum increase of approximately 15% and 17% in mean monthly streamflow under SSP245 and SSP585, respectively. Moreover, dependability flows calculated at Q50, Q75, and Q90 show respective rises of 13%, 16%, and 17% under SSP245 and 21%, 17%, and 18% under SSP585. The projected hydropower potential exhibits an increase of up to 15.9% and 17.3% under SSP245 and SSP585, respectively.
