Towards in-field assessment of humeral and scapular kinematics: a comparison between laboratory and field settings using inertial sensors

Data indicate that humeral elevation, humeral axial rotation, and scapular upward rotation can be measured in externally valid field settings, which is promising for the evaluation of upper limb movement in natural environments.

The influence of cardiorespiratory fitness level on the relationship between work rates at the aerobic threshold (AerT) and the point of maximal fat oxidation (Fatmax) in untrained adults

In this study, we investigated the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), quantified as peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak), on the relationship between work rates (WR) at the aerobic threshold (AerT) and the point of maximal fat oxidation rate (Fatmax).

Exploring countermovement jump variables across competitive levels and playing positions in futsal

Ecc capabilities (i.e., deeper COM displacement, greater Ecc absolute and relative peak power, and peak velocity) during vertical jump seem to differentiate PRO and SEMI-PRO players.

Hamstrings passive and active shear modulus: implications of conventional static stretching and warm-up

“The findings from the present study suggest that LSGs and SSGs can be used to overload the average values of the selected external load variables compared with those during the matches.”
