Despite optimal cognitive function being essential for performance, there is a lack of research on the effectiveness of combined cooling interventions on team sport athlete's cognitive function when exercising in the heat. In a randomised, crossover design, 12 unacclimatised men (age: 22.3 ± 3.

- - The study assessed the reliability and validity of a portable 3D scanning technique to measure human leg volume, comparing it to the traditional water displacement method.
- - Fifteen male participants had their leg volumes measured using both 3D scans and water displacement at different intervals, revealing strong correlations and minimal bias in the 3D method's results.
- - Findings indicate that the 3D scanning method is both reliable and valid for leg volume measurement, performing better than the water displacement method in terms of consistency and accuracy.
We examined the relationship between football-specific training and changes in bone structural properties across a 12-week period in 15 male football players aged 16 years (Mean ± 1 SD = 16.6 ± 0.3 years) that belonged to a professional football academy.

- The study assessed the reliability of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in measuring muscle oxygenation with and without the use of compression tights among 13 healthy active males.
- Participants completed four trials involving different activities while the NIRS device measured tissue saturation index (TSI) and muscle oxygenation.
- Results showed that while NIRS was generally reliable for detecting a 5% difference in TSI, the reliability of muscle oxygenation varied significantly depending on the type of activity performed.
