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…

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…
Changes in the Mechanical Properties of the Horizontal Force-Velocity Profile during a Repeated Sprint Test in Professional Soccer Players
The objective was to analyze the changes in the horizontal force-velocity profile (HFVP) during the execution of repeated sprinting. Methods: Seventeen first-division Chilean soccer players completed a repeated sprint protocol consisting of eight sprints of 30 m with 25-s pauses between repetitions. The behavior of HFVP variables in each attempt was recorded from video recordings and analysis in the MySprint® application. Results: Differences (p …
Effect of a Six Week In-Season Training Program on Wrestling-Specific Competitive Performance
The effect of multi-component training on specific performance is under-researched in wrestlers. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of six weeks of multi-component training on The Special Wrestling Fitness Test (SWFT) performances of wrestlers who were preparing for an international championship, and to, additionally, determine their inter-individual adaptive variability. The wrestlers (n = 13; 7 females; all international level) u…
On Social Capital and Health: The Moderating Role of Income Inequality in Comparative Perspective
Past cross-national research has shown that health status does not exclusively depend on biology-related variables, but also on social capital measures, such as interpersonal trust and social participation. However, this literature has not considered network support, an important pillar of social capital when it is understood as access to resources within members of a network. In this article, we add this variable to the analysis to verify if pre…
The experience and perception of corruption: A comparative study in 34 societies
In this article we show that perceptions of corruption and the experience of bribery are related theoretically and empirically at the individual level, although the magnitude of this association relies on two context variables, country-level corruption and press freedom. For that purpose, we propose a sociological approach to understand how people form “mental images” of corruption beyond (as well as based on) their personal experience of bribery…
