TL;DR: It is demonstrated that absolute distances covered during professional rugby league matches are greater for outside backs, while the collision and repeated high-intensity effort demands are higher for hit-up forwards and wide-running forwards.

TL;DR: Motor coordination demonstrated an inverse relationship with BMI across childhood and into early adolescence, with the strength of the inverse relation increased during childhood, but decreased through early adolescence.

TL;DR: It is recommended that patients with T2DM or pre-diabetes accumulate a minimum of 210 min per week of moderate-intensity exercise or 125 min perweek of vigorous intensity exercise with no more than two consecutive days without training.

TL;DR: Although neutral music did not produce the same level of psychological benefits as motivational music, it proved equally beneficial in terms of time-to-exhaustion and oxygen consumption and its judicious use during triathlon training should be considered.

TL;DR: Limited evidence suggests that two sets of cut-points correctly classify ActiGraph counts into moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), however, limitations with calibration and validation studies indicate greater efforts aimed at designing high quality studies are needed to confirm these findings.

TL;DR: The results indicate that participants with CAI demonstrated less DFROM and anterior SEBT reach distance compared to health controls, and the relationship between WBLT and SEBT performance is consistent in those with and without CAI.

TL;DR: The importance of the stability of motor coordination levels in childhood and its role in determining organized sports participation over time may have implications for talent identification purposes as well as potential health-related benefits in Childhood and throughout the lifespan.

TL;DR: Despite reductions in work-rate within individual matches, there is little indication of accumulated fatigue over a multi-day tournament.

TL;DR: Gender, the timing of surgery following injury and the level of sport the athletes returned to may be associated with fear of re-injury following surgery, however, Athletes participating in sport 2-7 years following their anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction generally appear to do so without fear ofReinjury.

TL;DR: Together, these findings highlight the high intermittent demands and important contributions of both anaerobic and aerobic metabolic pathways during state-level female basketball competition.

TL;DR: There is sufficient evidence to conclude that resistance-training interventions can improve muscular power in adolescent athletes, however limited objective evidence to support these claims was found.

TL;DR: It is identified that the greater impact forces generated from heavier players with faster speed may result in an increase in recurrent contact injury rates, and the development of prolonged high-intensity intermittent running ability and upper-body strength and power may assist to reduce the risk of contact injury in professional rugby league players.

TL;DR: The prevalence of knee and ankle OA in former elite soccer players can be considered high compared to the general population and to other occupations, and a health surveillance program should be implemented in elite soccer as a preventive measure.

TL;DR: The findings highlight the important role of situational probability information, in addition to movement kinematics, for successful anticipatory performance and suggest that the pick-up of such information is not utilised by younger players.

TL;DR: Female athletes exhibited greater frontal plane knee and ankle kinematic asymmetry than males during forward landings which may be related to the higher rate of ACL injury.

TL;DR: Compared to accelerometry, the brief MVPA self-report questionnaire appears to have acceptable validity for measuring non-compliance with physical activity recommendations in 15-17 year old adolescents.

TL;DR: The pooled evidence suggests that using an ankle brace or ankle tape has no effect on proprioceptive acuity in participants with recurrent ankle sprain or who have functional ankle instability.

TL;DR: 3 novel and reliable methods of examining knee flexion and extension strength using hand-held dynamometry which require less skill and strength on the part of the examiner than previous measures are presented.

TL;DR: Communicating with children has been an effective approach in uncovering perceived barriers and facilitators to lunchtime play that may not have been previously considered in the quantitative correlate literature.

TL;DR: The reported cut-off AHD highlighted the potential role of ultrasound measurements in volleyball players for early identification of SIS and provide a scientific basis for muscle training in overhead athletes such as volleyball players.

TL;DR: By gaining an understanding of the neural adaptations occurring during immobilisation and cross education, future research can utilise the application of unilateral training in clinical musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation.

TL;DR: Shorter starting distances between defenders were associated with a higher frequency of effective tackle outcomes, lower mean speeds of all participants, and a greater time period between the first crossover and the end of the trial.

TL;DR: Boys were granted more mobility licences, than were girls, but there were no significant differences by urban/rural location, and how access to playspaces, and mobile phone ownership, were associated with mobility licences was examined.

TL;DR: Carohydrate supplementation attenuated decrements in shooting performance during simulated soccer match-play; however, further research is warranted to optimise carbohydrate supplementation regimes for high-intensity intermittent sports.

TL;DR: A user's guide to assist researchers, practitioners and policy makers understand the strengths and limitations of different methods of assessing sedentary behaviour among youth, and are guided on selection of the most appropriate instrument/s to suit their needs.

TL;DR: Motivational regulations from SDT might serve as sources of information that influence athletes' intentions through their impact on the attitude, perceived social norm and controllability of injury rehabilitation and prevention.

TL;DR: Treadmill running is associated with a lower magnitude ofmaximum plantar pressure and a lower maximum plantar force at the plantar areas, and the results suggest thatThe plantar load distribution in treadmill running is not the same as the Plantar load Distribution in running on overground surfaces.

TL;DR: The findings showed high reliability for the sit and reach test (SRT), but the clinical reliability of PSLR and MSR are questioned and should be re-evaluated in future research studies.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the emergence of metastability in a dynamic interceptive action in cricket batting, which was examined to examine whether metastability could be exploited in externally paced interceptive actions in fast ball sports, such as cricket.
