  • Effects of repeated use of post-exercise infrared sauna on neuromuscular performance and muscle hypertrophy

    Open AccessEssi K Ahokas, Helen Hanstock et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2025

    Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate whether regular use of infrared sauna (IRS) after training can promote neuromuscular performance and positive changes in body composition during a 6-week training period. Methods Forty female team sport athletes were pair-matched into two groups: IRS ( n = 20) and control (CON; n = 20). Physical performance tests, body composition and hypertrophy measurements (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and u…

  • Changes in female football players’ in-season training load, intensity and physical performance

    Open AccessEero Heikki Johannes Savolainen, Johanna K Ihalainen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2024References: 2

    Introduction This observational study investigated: (1) potential changes in female football players’ in-season training load, intensity and physical performance, and (2) if in-season accumulated training load, intensity, or their progression are associated to changes in physical performance. Methods Thirty-five national level female players (∼21 years, n = 35) from three top-teams of the Finnish national league participated. Players performed te…

  • Carbohydrate intake in young female cross-country skiers is lower than recommended and affects competition performance

    Open AccessOona Kettunen, Ritva S Taipale et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2023

    Purpose (1) To evaluate if energy availability (EA), macronutrient intake and body composition change over four training periods in young, highly trained, female cross-country skiers, and (2) to clarify if EA, macronutrient intake, body composition, and competition performance are associated with each other in this cohort. Methods During a one-year observational study, 25 female skiers completed 3-day food and training logs during four training p…

  • Average demands and most demanding passages of national-level female soccer matches

    Open AccessEero Heikki Johannes Savolainen, Tomi Vänttinen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2023Cited by: 2References: 26

    IntroductionThis study aims to (1) determine the average and most demanding passage (MDP) load of national-level female soccer matches and (2) evaluate the relationship between average and MDP load during small-sided games (SSGs), large-sided games (LSGs), and matches.MethodsA total of 37 national-level female soccer players from a single club senior team and the U18 team participated. The average and 1-, 3-, and 5-min MDP external (total, high-s…

  • A 10-Week Block of Combined High-Intensity Endurance and Strength Training Produced Similar Changes in Dynamic Strength, Body Composition, and Serum Hormones in Women and Men

    Open AccessRitva S Taipale, Jaakko Forssell et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2020References: 73

    Purpose: To examine the potential sex differences in adaptations to combined endurance and strength training in recreationally endurance trained (eumenorrheic) women (n = 9) and men (n = 10). Methods: Isometric (ISOMmax) and dynamic bilateral leg press (1RM), countermovement jump (CMJ), running performance (3,000 m time trial), lean mass and body fat % (LEAN and FAT% determined by dual X-ray absorptiometry) as well as serum testosterone and corti…
