The natural development of static lower limb varus/valgus alignments during early childhood is well understood. However, our understanding of dynamic lower limb frontal plane alignments is limited, and we lack normative descriptions of this phenomenon for both boys and girls. This study investigated dynamic lower limb alignment during…

There has been a shift in tertiary education, whereby large portions of theory are now taught online, and the practical skills underpinned by this knowledge taught in clinical environments. It is unclear if this flipped approach is appropriate for the learning styles Exercise Science (ES) and Clinical Exercise Physiology (CEP) students. First- and…

This study aims to evaluate the physical abilities of U15 age category football players in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The Functional Movement Screening (FMS) tests and digital goniometer measurement values of the football players who voluntarily participated in the study and did not have any injury history were compared. The findings…

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the activities of heart rate variability (HRV) and cortisol secretion as markers of the autonomous nervous system (ANS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) during the menstrual cycle in female athletes. Method: Saliva samples of the participants (n = 28) were collected successively at 0, 15, 30,…

The rise in students entering higher education in England with vocational qualifications, or a blend of academic and vocational qualifications, has sparked debate about the correlation between qualifications and degree outcomes. Focusing on Sport and Exercise Science students and mobilising Bourdieu's theory of practice, this paper explores…

In the Republic of Kazakhstan, specialists in the field of Physical culture and Sports are faced with the problem of increasing interest in practicing folk national sports, based on the creation of both theoretical paradigms and a more evidence-based comprehensive practical database of research in scientific and methodological orientation. The…

Previously most studies indicated that high intensity training is a powerful stimulus to acute increases in blood testosterone hormone levels in males. The testosterone responses to exercise in females are controversial; while some studies have shown increases, others have suggested no change. The aim of this study was to determine alterations in…

Support from industry professionals is essential to meet the increasing demand for high-quality work-integrated learning (WIL) that forms a core component of university curriculum in various health professions. This qualitative study used an online survey to investigate the current landscape of exercise science and physiology WIL opportunities in…

Here we describe an approach and overall concept of how to train undergraduate university students to understand basic regulation and integration of glucose and fatty acid metabolism in response to fasting, intake of carbohydrates, and aerobic exercise. During lectures and both theoretical and practical sessions, the students read, analyze, and…

Purpose: This study examined the physiological sport-specific demands (total distance, mean velocity, effective game time, and time in five velocity zones) in elite bandy players of offensive and defensive playing positions. Method: Data were collected with 10 Hz GPS-units in the Swedish Elite League during the season 2015/16. Ten male elite bandy…

The objective of this research has been the analysis of the effectiveness of sports performance through a program, based on the assimilation of contents from a previous diagnosis. The almost-experimental design was applied like a pre- during program. Eighty-two students from Basic Education Career of UPSE have participated in this study, developed…

The aim of this study is to compare high-intensity interval running exercises for physical education students in the field and the pool in terms of their effects on anaerobic power and blood lactate. 20 amateur male athletes that is student at physical education department participated in this study on a voluntary basis (Age: 22 ± 4 years, Height:…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the physical match profiles of professional soccer players using 3 and 5 min fixed and rolling averages as well as fixed 1 min averages, with considerations to training prescription. Methods: Twenty-nine professional U23 soccer outfield players competed across 17 competitive matches during the…

Freestyle-disco is a relatively new and complex competitive dance style that, to our knowledge, has yet to be researched. Thus, the purpose of this research was to explore two fundamental physiological characteristics of exercise in relation to freestyle-disco as a starting-point for future research into the style. From this, the authors hope to…

Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has recently been experimented with the hypothesis that it can acutely improve exercise performance. IPC's ergogenic effects have been a novel approach to improve anaerobic power and sprint performances. Since the beneficial effects of the underlying mechanisms on anaerobic power have not been clearly understood, the…
