Summary: This study investigated the relationship between PMS symptom severity and depression, anxiety, stress, and rumination. The results showed that participants with higher severity of PMS symptoms had higher scores on depressive symptoms, anxiety, stress, and rumination. The study also found that momentary stress and stress-related perseverative rumination increased with increased PMS symptoms.

Summary: The global scientific output of research on PMS and PMDD has been increasing from 1945 to 2018, with menstrual cycle, depression, and ovarian hormones identified as research hotspots, while prevalence, systematic review, anxiety and depression, and young women are considered the research frontiers.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of prematch neuromuscular performance on match physical performance in Division I collegiate female soccer, considering player position. A linear mixed model was used with fixed effects of jump height, relative peak power, and position. The results showed that relative peak power significantly predicted average high-speed running, while jump height and position did not. This suggests that prematch countermovement jump relative peak power may be the most important factor in determining average high-speed running in collegiate female soccer.

Summary: This study aimed to describe communication profiles among athletes, examine predictors of profile membership, and assess profile differences in athletes' perceptions of burnout, engagement, satisfaction, and enjoyment. The results revealed three communication profiles: Less Effective Communicators, Supportive Communicators, and Functional Communicators. The findings suggest that communication patterns in track and field athletes have implications for their sport experiences.

Summary: The study developed a mathematical model to predict the performance of young rowers on the 2000m course based on a 100m indoor rowing machine test, which showed high correlation and reliability while being easy to implement and cost-effective.

Summary: Premenstrual disorders (PMDs), including premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder, are proposed as a continuum. The exact etiology of PMDs is unknown, but hormonal fluctuations and involvement of neurotransmitters in the brain are clear. Current treatments, such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors and oral contraceptives, are insufficient, and there is a discrepancy between research and clinical practice. This review focuses on promising new therapies.

Summary: This study found a dose-dependent association between childhood adverse experiences and premenstrual disorders (including premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder), emphasizing the importance of early intervention to reduce the risk of these disorders and other morbidities in adulthood.

Summary: The study found that most research focused on the relationship between cognitive performance, athletic performance, and injury rate in collegiate athletes and sleep, but studies using biomarkers and physiological measures or imaging were relatively few. Most studies indicated that poor sleep quality and quantity led to negative cognitive and academic outcomes.

Summary: The study aimed to describe the training patterns, return to sport confidence, and perceived fitness of collegiate athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings revealed a decrease in overall training hours, particularly in sport-specific training, during the pandemic. Athletic identity was associated with overall and sport-specific training, but not with confidence to return to sport or fitness.

Summary: This research aimed to understand the coping and wellbeing of dual-career athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings identified three coping approaches used by dual-career athletes - positive coping, negative coping, and acceptance, which were related to their wellbeing and burnout profiles.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of two different training interventions based on individualized load velocity profiles on strength, muscle mass, and throwing velocity. The results showed significant improvements in both groups after five weeks of training, and training at two different velocities elicited similar changes.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in fitness and body composition in female NCAA Division I soccer players over their 4-year collegiate career. Body composition, vertical jump height, aerobic capacity, and ventilatory threshold were assessed periodically throughout the study. Results showed no significant changes in body fat percentage, body mass, aerobic capacity, or maximal vertical jump height. However, there were significant increases in fat-free mass and vertical jump power from freshman to senior year. These findings suggest that freshmen athletes may have limited readiness compared to upperclassmen, highlighting the importance of conditioning programs for incoming collegiate athletes.
