Summary: This study investigated the effects of bovine colostrum supplementation on immune system functioning, iron management, and anabolic/catabolic balance in young football players. The results showed that supplementation significantly increased immunoglobulin G concentration and decreased inflammatory markers. However, it had no significant effect on athletes' performance, iron management, and hormonal response. Bovine colostrum could be a relatively mild and safe intervention for reducing inflammation induced by intense physical exercise.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the impact of cognitive factors on hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 diabetes and impaired awareness, and to determine predictors of incomplete response. The intervention included a short psycho-educational program with optimization of insulin therapy and glucose monitoring. The results showed that the intervention led to improvements in hypoglycemia-associated cognitive factors, and persistence of the cognition 'asymptomatic hypoglycemia normalised' was associated with incomplete prevention of subsequent severe hypoglycemia episodes. Understanding and addressing cognitive barriers to hypoglycemia avoidance is important in individuals prone to severe hypoglycemia episodes.

Summary: This systematic review examined soccer-specific exercise during 120 min of play and provided practical recommendations and future research opportunities. The findings showed that players cover less distance and exhibit reduced technical performance during extra-time compared to the preceding 90 min. Carbohydrate intake may improve dribbling performance during extra-time, while recovery measures may be further compromised following extra-time compared to 90 min.

Summary: This systematic review examined the post-match recovery response in male rugby players. The findings suggest that it takes approximately 72 hours for neuromuscular, biochemical and endocrine, and subjective/perceptual responses to return to baseline after competitive rugby match-play. The lack of research focusing on ecologically valid scenarios and youth players highlights the need for further investigation.

Summary: Most overground distance runners rearfoot strike early, and the prevalence of this pattern increases with distance. Of those that do change foot strike pattern, the majority transition from non-rearfoot to rearfoot. The current literature provides inconclusive evidence of a competitive advantage being associated with long-distance runners who use a non-rearfoot strike pattern.

Summary: The aim of this observational study was to investigate the differences in on-court activity and match statistics between periods of scoring streaks and regular play in basketball. The study found that there were few differences in the average exercise intensity between streak types. However, during scoring streaks, teams performed better in defensive rebounds and shot attempts, with a higher shooting percentage and lower proportion of 3-point attempts compared to regular play. To reduce the chances of streaks against, teams should focus on facilitating 2-point shot attempts and consider implementing a 3:1 ratio of 2-point to 3-point attempts to maximize scoring success.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of residual neuromuscular fatigue on subsequent match and training activity in professional women's basketball. The findings showed that when players were fatigued prior to matches, the time spent on supramaximal activity decreased, while the time spent on moderate-vigorous activity increased. Additionally, when fatigued prior to training, players exhibited lower average intensity and decreases in absolute and relative maximal and supramaximal activity. These findings emphasize the importance of monitoring neuromuscular performance throughout a professional season.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare position-specific running and technical demands of elite-junior and elite-senior Australian rules football match-play. The results showed that there were no significant differences in running demands and technical involvements between the two levels. However, elite juniors performed less running, high-speed running, and technical involvements during peak periods compared to elite seniors. These findings suggest that coaching staff in elite-senior clubs should focus on maintaining intensity and gradually increasing training volume for recently drafted players from elite-junior leagues.

Summary: Determining the sensitivity of position-specific models in evaluating draft outcome is critical for player recruitment and development. This study found that combining a technical factor improved sensitivity in all-position and nomadic models. Physical factors and physical and in-game movement yielded the best models for fixed-position and fixed&ruck players, respectively. Models with improved sensitivity should be sought to confidently identify players with draft potential.
