Importance of physical qualities for speed and change of direction ability in elite female soccer players.
TL;DR: Comparative data for professional English female soccer players is provided that can be used by strength and conditioning coaches when monitoring player development and assessing the effectiveness of training programs.
Physical Qualities of International Female Rugby League Players by Playing Position
TL;DR: Body fat was strongly associated with performance and should therefore be considered in developing fitness characteristics and the relationship to match performance and trainability of these characteristics warrants further investigation.
The impact of repetition mechanics on the adaptations resulting from strength-, hypertrophy- and cluster-type resistance training
TL;DR: CL regimens produced similar strength improvements to STR regimens even when volume load was elevated (CL-2), which underlines the importance of high loads and impulse generation for strength development.
Do the Acute Biochemical and Neuromuscular Responses Justify the Classification of Strength- and Hypertrophy-Type Resistance Exercise?
TL;DR: Although the STR and HYP workouts were significantly different in terms of intensity, volume, and rest, these differences were only observable in the acid-base responses.
Morphological and functional outcomes of operatively treated Achilles tendon ruptures.
TL;DR: Plantar flexor atrophy following surgically treated Achilles tendon rupture is partially compensated for by remodeling of the fascicles; however, impairments may still persist many years into the postoperative period although these may be more pronounced in high-velocity activities.
