Article Synopsis
- - This systematic review explored the impact of re-warm-up (RWU) protocols on soccer players' performance, focusing on vertical jump height and sprint time, by analyzing selected studies.
- - Out of 892 studies found, only four were reviewed, and three were included in the meta-analysis, revealing RWU significantly boosts vertical jump height but has a minimal effect on sprint times.
- - The findings suggest that while RWU is beneficial for actions requiring jumps, more high-quality, consistent studies are needed to better understand its impact on sprint performance.
: Observational studies associate physical activity (PA) with improved perceptions of children and adolescents' physical self-concept (PSC) and global self-concept (GSC). However, only a few PA-based interventions exist for improving PSC and their results have been inconclusive. : To determine the effect of specific PA-based programmes on the PSC (including its sub-dimensions) and GSC of children and adolescents, and to assess possible moderators.

To do so, 652 adolescents aged 12-17 years participated in a cross-sectional study. The cognitive-affective component of BD was assessed with the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and the perceptual component with Gardner's scale for the assessment of, body image (BI).

A sample of 652 Spanish students between 12 and 17 years participated in a cross-sectional study. Physical self-concept and general self-concept were assessed with the Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire (CAF), body dissatisfaction with the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), and physical activity was estimated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF).
