Effect of 12 weeks differential learning vs. classical learning approaches on motor skills related to shot put in healthy young adult
Purpose The objective of this study was to compare the effect of 12-weeks of differential learning intervention vs. classical learning in the shot-put for healthy and physically active students. Methods In this study, 114 sports science students (64 males; 50 females; age 21.20 ± 2.15 years; body mass: 67.42 ± 12.30 kg; body height: 1.73 ± 0.09 m; BMI: 22.61 ± 1.20 kg.m-1) participated in this study. A total of 114 students completed the study. S…
Intra and inter variation in training load, recovery state and technical–tactical performance across a standard microcycle in Sub-elite youth football players
These findings demonstrate that the microcycle followed a structured pattern, with matches concentrating objective intensity and training sessions eliciting greater perceived effort. Practically, training for U11 should emphasize motor efficiency and load regulation, while U13 programs should target high-intensity capacity and tactical coordination. Over time, integrating multidimensional monitoring (GPS, sRPE, TQR, FUT-SAT) may guide coaches in …
Mapping football tactical behavior and collective dynamics with artificial intelligence
Football, as a dynamic and complex sport, demands an understanding of tactical behaviors to excel in training and competition. Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the tactical performance analysis in football, offering unprecedented data analytics insights for players, coaches, and analysts. This systematic review aims to examine and map out the current state of research on AI-based tactical behavior, collective dynamics, and movement…
Hierarchical clustering of the pre-exam anxiety levels in physically inactive and active adolescent students from 56 countries
Introduction The relationship between physical activity and anxiety among students has been extensively studied, with research highlighting the protective effects of physical activity on mental well-being. Methods This article synthesizes existing literature on the topic and presents a novel analysis of pre-exam anxiety rates among physically inactive high school students from 56 countries. Using data from the Programme for International Student …

Global habitat predictions to inform spatiotemporal fisheries management
Tuna Regional Fishery Management Organizations (tRFMOs) are increasingly interested in spatiotemporal management as a tool to reduce interaction rates with vulnerable species. We use blue shark ( Prionace glauca ) as a case study to demonstrate the critical first steps in the implementation process, highlighting how predictions of global habitat for vulnerable life stages can be transformed into a publicly-accessible spatial bycatch mitigation to…
Tracking the Prevalence of Obesity in Portuguese School-Aged Children
Background: Childhood obesity presents a significant public health concern globally, with implications for cardiovascular health and metabolic syndrome. In Portugal, approximately 31.6% of children are affected, highlighting the urgency for intervention strategies. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Portuguese school-aged children, with a focus on sex and age differences. Methods: Anthropometric measurements we…
