Summary: This cross-sectional study found an association between football participation and a higher likelihood of self-reported parkinsonism or Parkinson's disease diagnosis. Longer duration of football play and higher level of play were both associated with a higher likelihood of parkinsonism or Parkinson's disease.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the differences in the A-S profile of elite football players based on playing position and microcycle day. Significant differences were found within positions and microcycle day for all variables. Match day showed higher values in A(0), ACC(max), and S-max compared to training days. Wide midfielders had higher speed capacity, while central defenders displayed a likely acceleration profile. These findings are important for training and performance of football players.

Summary: This study focused on differentiating between phases of play in professional Australian football using physical and spatiotemporal metrics, providing new insights for coaches and guidance for conditioning and practice design. The results of the study showed differences in duration, physical and spatiotemporal properties of each phase, with a logistic model correctly predicting the phase of play for 63.7% of cases.

Summary: This study provides a detailed insight into the activity profile of elite Gaelic football referees during competitive games, showing that their activity is characterized by high intensity and intermittent nature. The first half has higher relative distance and running speed compared to the second half, and the first quarter has higher relative distance and running speed compared to other periods.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between lower-body explosive strength, speed, and agility in male adolescent football players. The results show that lower-body explosive strength is a significant predictor of speed and agility, while body fat percentage has a negative relationship with these outcomes.

Summary: The study found that analyzing event and positional data can better predict the results of football matches, while goals may not necessarily have significant informative value. Although performance indicators have a greater impact on match outcomes, they still cannot fully predict the course of the match in-play. Therefore, to improve accuracy in performance analysis in football, more attention should be paid to controlling for scoreline and general team strength.

Summary: Assessing football players' sprint mechanical outputs is crucial for performance management, and a method to derive individual acceleration-speed profiles in-situ using global positioning system data collected during football sessions is proposed. The results show highly linear profiles for all players, indicating the feasibility of this approach for assessing players' performance in specific acceleration-speed tasks.

Summary: This study found that ball speed in fast-bowlers is closely related to their bowling technique and physical capacity. The results suggest that factors such as bowling action duration and 10-30 m split time significantly influence ball speed variation. Coaches should focus on improving these aspects to enhance fast-bowlers' performance.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of transitional activities on physical metrics in elite outfield footballers. Results showed that transitional activities significantly influenced total distance, sprint distance, and high-intensity accelerations and decelerations. Positive transitions had the highest output, while high-pressure activities had the lowest output.

Summary: This study compared the physical demands and effect of field location for different phases of play in Australian Football matches. It found that defensive phases had the highest physical demands for backs, while offensive phases had the highest demands for midfielders and forwards. Distance and high-speed running were lowest in contested phases regardless of position. Successful offensive plays showed greater physical and technical outputs for midfielders and forwards, whereas unsuccessful defensive plays had higher physical outputs for all positions.

Summary: Research indicates a significant relationship between change of direction speed (CODS) and sprint speed, muscle strength, and jump ability, with the strength of this relationship depending on test design and parameters analyzed. Future studies should focus on test design and parameter selection to align with the fitness demands of specific sports.

Summary: This study examines the impact of contextual factors on physical activity and technical performance in AFLW matches. The findings suggest that interstate matches can lead to decreased physical activity, while the average high-speed running distance has increased over time. Additionally, players accumulate ranking points at a faster rate when there is a greater score difference.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a physical fitness standard for 9 to 11-year-old campus football players in China. The study examined 765 male football players and presented the physical fitness standard for each age group. Recommendations were made to Chinese policymakers on sample size, data management, and field procedure for the creation of a national physical fitness standard.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the dose-response effect of high-intensity functional training (HIFT) on various cardiometabolic markers in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS), as well as the impact on perceived enjoyment and intention to continue exercise. The findings will provide evidence on the minimal effective dose of HIFT per week and its potential role in preventing and treating MetS, thus benefiting exercise specialists and healthcare providers.
