Article Synopsis
- - The study examined trunk impact dynamics in goalball players using inertial sensors, focusing on changes in impact workloads between the first and second halves of a match.
- - Six players wore accelerometers during a game, revealing that the first half had significantly more total impacts and higher intensity impacts compared to the second half, where players experienced a decrease in intensity and impact levels.
- - Findings suggest that game intensity is linked to the number of impacts, pointing to a potential need for targeted training to balance workload and performance in goalball players.
Article Synopsis
- * Fifteen trained trail runners (10 males and 5 females) participated in a VK race, utilizing advanced equipment to measure their physiological responses, revealing significant differences in multiple respiratory and cardiovascular variables between genders and performance levels.
- * Key performance indicators such as oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were identified, highlighting the importance of muscular adaptations and respiratory capacity for success in these intense, short-duration races.
In athletic training and research, the evaluation of sprint speed is widely used, and its accurate measurement is especially demanding. High-cost photocells are the gold-standard system for sprint time assessment, although low-cost smartphone applications can be a suitable option. This study assesses the validity and reliability of an application to measure sprint time compared to photocells.

As a secondary objective, the study aims to verify the relationship between changes in knee functionality assessed by the VISA-P and jump capacity in the different treatment groups.
Design: A double-blinded randomized controlled trial.
This study investigated biomechanical assessments in trail running, comparing two wearable devices-Stryd Power Meter and GARMIN. With the growing popularity of trail running and the complexities of varied terrains, there is a heightened interest in understanding metabolic pathways, biomechanics, and performance factors. The research aimed to assess the inter- and intra-device agreement for biomechanics under ecological conditions, focusing on power, speed, cadence, vertical oscillation, and contact time.
