Summary: Although cold water immersion is commonly used for post-exercise recovery, its benefits may be influenced by placebo effects. This study compared the effects of cold water immersion and placebo interventions on recovery after exercise. The results showed that both cold water immersion and placebo intervention were more effective in muscle damage recovery and physical performance compared to rest conditions. Moreover, the effectiveness of cold water immersion may be partially explained by placebo effects.

Summary: This study examined the short-term effects of low-fat chocolate milk (LFCM) consumption on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and performance in female badminton players. The results indicate that LFCM consumption significantly enhances aerobic power, explosive power, and time to exhaustion, while reducing DOMS and rating of perceived exertion (RPE).

Summary: This review examines the different technologies used in wearable smart garments for the lower limbs and their impact on post-exercise recovery. The findings suggest that wearable smart garments have some effects on muscle soreness, perceived exertion, proprioception, anaerobic performance, and sprints. They also have effects on muscle strength and power, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, muscle swelling, lactate, aerobic pathway, endurance, aerobic performance, and running performance. Wearing well-fitting wearable smart garments improves comfort, kinesthesia, proprioception, and reduces strength loss and muscle damage after training, allowing for better power performance and running performance after resistance training or eccentric exercise.

Summary: Endurance athletes require a regular and detailed nutrition program to prepare for training/racing, endure harsh conditions, and recover effectively. Recent decades have seen an interest in new dietary approaches among endurance athletes, including vegetarian, high-fat, intermittent fasting, gluten-free, and low FODMAP diets. This review provides insights into the impact of these popular diets on endurance performance and athlete health.

Summary: The effect of carbohydrate intake on strength training performance has not been systematically analyzed. Acute supplementation and short-term manipulation did not show beneficial effects, while long-term manipulation had inconsistent results. Carbohydrate intake has minimal impact on workouts consisting of up to 10 sets per muscle group, but may benefit performance during higher intensity workouts. More research is needed for further validation.

Summary: The study found that combining whey protein and casein after exercise can regulate the blood branched-chain amino acid profile, reduce muscle soreness, but did not show advantages in nitrogen balance and protein metabolism compared to whey protein alone.

Summary: This study found that pressotherapy can significantly reduce muscle soreness, but it does not have a significant impact on jump height and creatine kinase levels. Pressotherapy should be used as an additional component of a more comprehensive recovery strategy.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of different carbohydrate and protein compositions on growth performance, incidence of diarrhea, serum metabolites, and gastrointestinal development in Holstein calves. The results showed that the variations in carbohydrate and protein compositions had certain impacts on the health indicators and gastrointestinal development of calves.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of protein and carbohydrate content on the breakage behavior of spray-dried agglomerated infant milk formula. Proteins had a greater influence on breakage than carbohydrates. Breakage changed the physical and structural properties of powders, impacting rehydration properties and crystallization temperatures.

Summary: The study found that high-carbohydrate diets had negative effects on Monopterus albus, but the addition of taurine improved growth performance, decreased lipid deposition, enhanced antioxidant ability, reduced liver damage, and regulated the homeostasis of intestinal microbiota. The optimum supplemental level of taurine was 0.5%.

Summary: Old rats were found to use pea protein with the same efficiency as casein or whey proteins, with similar effects on body composition, tissue weight, skeletal muscle protein synthesis and degradation. This suggests that using plant-based proteins could help older individuals diversify their protein sources and meet nutritional intake recommendations more easily.

Summary: This study evaluated the separation performance of hydrochar from coking sludge and municipal sludge via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and proposed mechanistic insights. The results showed that higher hydrothermal temperatures enhanced the separation performance and dewatering effect of hydrochar. Mechanism investigation revealed that the release of bound water was caused by the decomposition of carbohydrates and proteins. Furthermore, the hydrophilicity of hydrochar particles played a crucial role in improving separation efficiency.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of kinesio taping on lower back muscle soreness in collegiate students after cross-country skiing. The results showed that kinesio taping significantly reduced lower back muscle soreness levels 24 hours after its application, potentially aiding in alleviating post-exercise delayed onset muscle soreness in physically active collegiate students.

Summary: The study found that measures such as CMJ, SJ, DJ-CT, and DJ-RSI have good test-retest reliability, while DJ-JH's reliability was not acceptable. The reliability of all tri-axial accelerometer variables during a 3-minute (2-minute analysis) submaximal shuttle run was good, except for % PlayerLoad anterior-posterior (%PLAP). The subjective wellness questionnaire demonstrated poor reliability for all items.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the test-retest reliability of strength measures in adolescent distance runners and explore the relationships between inter-limb strength asymmetry and performance and running economy. The results showed that relationships between strength asymmetry and performance and RE were generally low, except for a higher correlation between hip abduction strength asymmetry and RE in female participants.

Summary: The study revealed that within-sport specialization was rare among U13 and U15 track and field athletes in the UK, with less than 35% of participants engaging in diversification. There were no sex differences in specialization, and top-ranked young female athletes were more likely to have diversified at a younger age. Specialization at U13/U15 was not associated with subsequent retention.

Summary: The effectiveness of interval training on improving VO2max in well-trained runners is still inconclusive, with some studies reporting significant improvements while others do not. However, a relationship between the interval training session impulse and VO2max improvements was observed through training load analysis, providing practical application for periodization in the training regime of well-trained distance runners.

Summary: This study, using a critical realist approach, examined how structural entities and reflexive agency combined to influence behavior in an elite youth cricket context. Coaches acted on behalf of norm circles to shape athletes' dispositions, while athletes engaged in a process of dialectical iteration between reflexive deliberation and dispositions, which influenced their social action.

Summary: This article proposes a new framework to analyze biomechanical patterns in sport training data recorded across multiple training sessions. The authors apply multilevel functional models to analyze knee location trajectory data of 19 runners during different training types and evaluate measurement reliability using functional intra-class correlation coefficient. They also use functional multilevel regression models to quantify gender and training type differences.

Summary: This study examined the recovery time course for gait and neuromuscular function immediately after and 24-h post interval training. The results indicated that high-intensity interval training resulted in altered running kinematics and decrements in neuromuscular function. However, most runners had recovered within 24 hours, with only a minority still exhibiting signs of fatigue.
