TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different combinations of kinematic and kinetic variables and their contribution to adaptation is unclear. But it is thought that strength and power adaptation is mediated by mechanical stimuli, that is the kinematics and kinetics associated with resistance exercise, and their interaction with other hormonal and metabolic factors.

TL;DR: Low impact exercise immediately post-competition, wearing compression garments, or carrying out contrast water therapy enhanced CK clearance more than passive recovery in young male athletes.

TL;DR: Caffeine is likely to produce substantial enhancement of several aspects of high-intensity team-sport performance, including sprint speeds and a strong negative correlation with passing accuracy.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that 2D:4D correlates with organizing effects on the endocrine system that moderate activating effects in adulthood, and is particularly evident in “challenging” conditions such as aggressive and sexual encounters, in which individuals show increased levels of T.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to highlight two emerging concepts for the elite athlete using the resistance-training model: the short-term effects of testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) on the neuromuscular system; and the dose-response training role of these endogenous hormones.
