Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rest redistribution with heavier loads on physiological and perceptual responses in resistance-trained men. The results showed that rest redistribution with heavier loads can increase volume load by approximately 7%, but does not seem to affect growth hormone, testosterone, blood lactate, perceived exertion, and heart rate responses. Therefore, practitioners may consider using rest redistribution with heavier loads to increase volume load without increasing acute fatigue responses.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanical responses to rest redistribution with heavier loads in resistance-trained men. The results showed that heavier loads led to higher force and lower velocity, but had no significant effect on power.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of a Mediterranean diet on cardiometabolic and hormonal parameters in women with PCOS, as well as its feasibility and acceptability. 42 overweight and obese women with PCOS will be randomly assigned to receive either dietary advice consistent with Australian Dietary Guidelines or an ad libitum Mediterranean diet intervention. The primary outcomes include changes in insulin resistance, glucose, total testosterone, and sex hormone-binding globulin.

Summary: The study found that timing of carbohydrate intake does not negatively impact training adaptations during a high-intensity exercise regimen, even when following a carbohydrate restricted diet. Additionally, favorable adaptations can still be made while consuming a carbohydrate restricted diet.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of progressive submaximal cycling on selected cardiorespiratory and metabolic variables in endurance- and strength-trained athletes. The findings showed that the metabolic responses differed between endurance- and strength-trained athletes, while there were no significant differences in cardiorespiratory variables. Based on these findings, it is recommended that endurance-trained athletes follow a concurrent training program to improve neuromuscular parameters and optimize their economy of movement and endurance-specific muscle power capacity.

Summary: This study compared different training protocols for upper body exercises in terms of perceptual responses, physiological indicators, and technical parameters. It found that cluster configurations allow for higher movement velocity and lower lactate and RPE values compared to traditional configurations, while maintaining similar SmO2 concentrations.

Summary: The study found that the rest-pause method slightly outperforms traditional resistance training in improving strength, but the hypertrophic adaptations are similar between the two. Muscle thickness in the proximal and middle parts of the quadriceps increased in all training groups, while there was no significant change in the distal part. Although modest, the effect sizes tended to favor the rest-pause method.

Summary: Fruit set is the process of ovary development into a fruit, which plays a crucial role in determining fruit yield. It is induced by the hormones auxin and gibberellin and their signaling pathways, mainly through the suppression of negative regulators. Studies have uncovered the cytological and molecular mechanisms of fruit set in tomato, highlighting the role of auxin and gibberellin signaling repressors SlIAA9 and SlDELLA/PROCERA.

Summary: This study investigated the metabolic and hormonal profiles of untreated women with nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH) and compared them with women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and healthy controls. The results showed that NCCAH women had a less adversely altered metabolic profile than PCOS women, but not as favorable as healthy controls. Optimizing screening for metabolic and reproductive health could help initiate treatment and improve treatment outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of different chronotype categories in women with PCOS and their impact on hormonal and metabolic aspects. The findings showed a higher prevalence of evening chronotype in women with PCOS, which was associated with worse hormonal and metabolic profiles.

Summary: The study showed that consumption of high-protein dairy milk during 6 weeks of resistance training in trained young males can increase lean mass, strength, power, and alter serum concentrations of skeletal muscle regulatory markers.

Summary: The study found that adding a loaded stretch in the inter-set rest period does not have a significant impact on muscular adaptations in resistance-trained males, suggesting that both groups responded similarly in terms of muscle thickness and other measured variables over the 8-week training period.

Summary: Compared to intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets provide decision makers with more freedom in expressing evaluation information. Novel directional correlation coefficients have been proposed to compute the relationship between PFSs by considering four parameters, addressing the issues of disease diagnosis and cluster analysis.

Summary: This study analysed the effect of creatine supplementation on performance improvement in a bench pressing strength test and evaluated muscle fatigue and metabolic stress during a 20-minute recovery period. The results showed that the creatine group had more repetitions after supplementation, but experienced greater metabolic stress and muscle fatigue during the recovery period.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of proximity-to-failure in resistance training on neuromuscular fatigue and perceptual responses. The results indicate that training closer to failure leads to greater neuromuscular fatigue and negative perceptual responses.
