Summary: The present study aimed to investigate the impact of force-power-velocity, vertical and horizontal jumps, and repeated sprint ability on the sprinting performance of adult women soccer players. The findings revealed that lower-limb power, maximal speed, and peak power significantly influenced sprinting time, while vertical jump determined stride frequency.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis analyzed different training methods' ability to enhance medium to long-distance sprint performance in football code athletes. The study found that secondary, tertiary, and combined training methods showed improvements, while sport-only and primary training methods did not enhance sprint performance. It was concluded that increasing force generation during sprinting action can enhance sprint performance regardless of population characteristics.

Summary: A prospective study was conducted to investigate the predictors of noncontact ACL injury in collegiate athletes using an affordable motion capture system (Kinect). The results showed that athletes who sustained noncontact ACL injury had larger initial and peak contact coronal abduction angles and smaller peak flexion angles at the knee during a DVJ.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to analyze the force-velocity profile parameters obtained from the Samozino's method in different sports and their association with sport performance outcomes. The findings showed that high-level athletes have higher values in F-0, P-max, and V-0, and specific training programs can enhance these parameters.

Summary: Wearable resistance training on the lower limbs does not significantly affect contact times during sprint running, but does show significant differences in ground reaction force in the anterior-posterior direction. This suggests that practitioners can use shank wearable resistance training with loads <= 2% body mass without worrying about increased risk of injurious impact forces.

Summary: The study found that core stability is related to knee joint movement during DJ landing and knee injury risk factors. Core stability parameters like sit-ups and single-leg stance time showed significant relationships with knee joint motion parameters. Therefore, improving core stability through comprehensive training can effectively prevent knee injuries.

Summary: This study conducted the largest systematic review and meta-analysis of short-sprint performance development methods exclusively for football code athletes. Combined, secondary, and tertiary training methods were found to improve short-sprint performance, while primary and sport only training methods did not show significant effects. Moderator variables such as football code, age, playing standard, and phase of season were found to affect the overall magnitude of training effects.

Summary: This study compared lower body muscle volumes and vertical jumping power between elite and subelite female sprinters. The results showed that elite sprinters had higher muscle volumes and power. The relative volume of the hip flexors was particularly important for sprint performance.

Summary: The study revealed no significant associations between unilateral jump and isokinetic FVP parameters, while inter-limb asymmetries were generally weakly associated with jump height and FVP parameters. Unilateral jump height showed weak-to-moderate associations with isokinetic F-0, jumping P-max, and normalized knee extension isokinetic peak torque at certain angular velocities.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine the associations between horizontal jump and sprint acceleration, as well as maximal speed performance. The results showed that there were moderate to very large associations between sprint time and horizontal jump distance, and the highest magnitude of associations was found in multiple jump distance. Moreover, compared to sprint acceleration performance, there were greater associations between maximal speed performance and standing long jump and multiple jump distance.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of resisted sled sprint training (RSS) and unresisted sprint training (URS) on sprint and acceleration performance, vertical jump, and maximal strength. The results showed that after an 8-week preseason training period, the RSS group had significantly better 10 and 30-meter sprint times compared to the URS group. Both groups showed significant improvements in vertical jump and maximal strength, with no significant differences between the groups.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of fatigue induced through a repeat sprint protocol on different measures of neuromuscular performance. The results showed that jump height decreased significantly in the CMJ at two minutes and 15 minutes post-RSA, compared to pre-RSA. Despite the fatiguing RSA protocol, participants seemed to perform the jump tasks more efficiently over time.

Summary: A low-cost system for measuring vertical jump height was developed in this study and showed good performance, especially with higher jump heights. The importance of sampling frequency on measurement accuracy was emphasized, particularly for jump trials with lower heights.

Summary: Our study found that maintenance of plasmalemmal excitability after eccentric contractions depends on intact and functional dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC) rather than solely dystrophin expression. Loss of torque after eccentric contractions was greater in dystrophic mouse lines compared to wild-type mice, showing the significant role of DGC in maintaining plasmalemmal excitability. Additionally, deficiency of the DGC protein beta-sarcoglycan was found to be equally disruptive to plasmalemmal excitability as dystrophin deficiency.
