Case Report
Long-haul transmeridian travel was associated with transient neuromuscular and perceptual disturbances in a world-class Paralympic athlete. HGS and s-RPE emerged as practical and responsive markers of travel-induced fatigue and performance readiness during the 21-day period surrounding international travel. These findings highlight the need for individualized monitoring strategies during the travel adaptation period in elite Paralympic sport cont…
Physical literacy in school aged children
Introduction Adolescents with high physical literacy (PL) have better health including cardiovascular fitness and reduced obesity.
