Paris 2024 Olympic judo success: The role of Grand Slam performance, sex-based trajectories, and home advantage in the World Judo Tour
The World Judo Tour (WJT) is a critical series of competitions for accumulating ranking points and qualifying for Olympic Games. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between performance in the 2023-2024 WJT and medal success at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, identifying which competitions are most strongly associated with Olympic outcomes, analyzing sex-based differences in competitive trajectories, and quantifying the Home Advantage (…
From cumulative points to the ‘Best of Three’ system: A comprehensive analysis of World Taekwondo rule changes and their performance implications
Taekwondo competition rules underwent profound transformations between 2012 and 2026, driven by the need for transparency and to increase spectator appeal. This study analyzed the regulatory evolution of taekwondo and its impact on match dynamics and performance. To this end, we reviewed official World Taekwondo documents and scientific literature to synthesize changes in scoring, technology, and combat structure. The main results indicated that …
Predictive power of deep squat and Abalakov jump tests in roundhouse kick performance among elite striking athletes
This study investigated the relationship between variables of the deep squat jump (DSJ) and the Abalakov jump (ABK) and the performance of the rear leg roundhouse kick in elite combat sport athletes. Twenty-seven elite taekwondo athletes (12 females) performed three attempts of each movement: DSJ and ABK (measured with Pasco® force platforms), and the roundhouse kick (analyzed with Vicon® motion capture systems). The key findings demonstrated tha…
Enhancing Post-Training Muscle Recovery and Strength in Paralympic Powerlifting Athletes with Cold-Water Immersion, a Cross-Sectional Study
(1) Background: The recovery method is important and decisive in the training system. This study aimed to assess the effects of various post-training recovery methods on muscle damage and strength indicators in Paralympic powerlifting athletes. (2) Methods: A crossover study was conducted involving eleven male athletes (25.4 ± 3.3 years, 70.3 ± 12.1 kg). Muscle damage was assessed using blood biochemical markers (cytokines IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α)…
Long-Term Cognitive Decline in MMA Fighters: A Two-Year Cohort Study on Executive Function Impairments Due to Repetitive Head Strikes
These findings highlight the detrimental effects of MMA competitions on cognitive function, emphasizing the need for monitoring and interventions to preserve fighters' health and performance
Anthropometric and mechanical factors determining sprint in young soccer players: A brief report
Sprint performance is a critical factor in soccer. While previous studies have extensively explored the biomechanical, physiological, and metabolic determinants of sprinting, the impact of anthropometric variables in team sports contexts, especially soccer, remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the influence of anthropometric and mechanical variables on sprint performance in young soccer players. Fifty-eight young soccer players w…
Can Adipose Tissue Influence the Evaluation of Thermographic Images in Adolescents
Infrared thermography (IRT) is a technology easy to use for clinical purposes as a pre-diagnostic tool for many health conditions. However, the analysis process of a thermographic image needs to be meticulous to make an appropriate decision. The adipose tissue is considered a potential influence factor in the skin temperature (Tsk) values obtained by IRT. This study aimed to verify the influence of body fat percentage (%BF) on Tsk measured by IRT…
Judo combat time, scores, and penalties: Review of competition rules changes between 2010 and 2020
This study aimed to describe and analyze the main changes in the official competitive rules of judo between 2010 and 2020, highlighting changes in combat time, scores and penalties. In this retrospective study, a search was performed for official documents which regulated judo rules between 2010 and 2020 on the websites of the International Judo Federation and the Brazilian Judo Confederation, as well as refereeing manuals of the Sergipe Judo Fed…
Psychometric properties of the Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder Inventory among physically active Brazilian college men
A literatura cientifica conta com um grande corpo de conhecimento sobre a dismorfia muscular, especialmente em homens fisiculturistas e levantadores de peso. No entanto, revisoes sistematicas e metanalises indicam limitacoes em varios estudos em que a dismorfia muscular nao foi avaliada por instrumentos validos e confiaveis. Por exemplo, em alguns estudos, pesquisadores utilizaram instrumentos de medidas de avaliacao da busca pela muscularidade, …
Waist circumference percentile curves as a screening tool to predict cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome risk in Brazilian children
The goals of this study were to develop reference values for waist circumference (WC) in Brazilian children between 6-10 years old and to evaluate the WC performance in predicting cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children. This is a population-based epidemiological cross-sectional study, in which 1,397 children participated, with a 6-10 years old probability sampling and from public and private schools in the city of U…
Waist circumference to height ratio predicts inflammatory risk in children
Anthropometric measurements have shown a moderate-to-strong association with the mRNA expression of inflammatory genes and a WHtR of 0.5 could serve as a cut-off point, suggesting increased risk of inflammatory responses
