Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is an important crop for the future challenges of food and nutrient security. Deep characterization of quinoa diversity is needed to support the agronomic improvement and adaptation of quinoa as its worldwide cultivation expands. In this study, we report the construction of chromosome-scale genome assemblies of eight quinoa accessions covering the range of phenotypic and genetic diversity of both lowland and highland quinoas.

- This study focused on how muscle properties change during a training week in semi-professional female football players, analyzing factors like muscle stiffness and tone.
- Nineteen players were tested before and after various training sessions, revealing that different sessions had distinct training loads and perceived exertion levels.
- Significant correlations were found between training intensity and muscle stiffness/tone, highlighting the importance of understanding these relationships to optimize training for female athletes.
Purpose: To examine the effects of 2 repeated-sprint ability (RSA) training protocols using short sprints (15 m, RSA-15) and long sprints (30 m, RSA-30) on sprinting, maneuverability, intermittent endurance, and RSA in young soccer players.
Method: Thirty-one male U-18 players were randomly assigned to the RSA-15 (n = 15) and RSA-30 (n = 16) groups. The intervention programs were conducted twice a week over 6 weeks.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how a 2-week break from training affects physical fitness in elite youth soccer players, comparing two age groups: under-15 (U15) and under-17 (U17).
- A total of 30 players participated, and tests were conducted before and after the break, revealing significant performance declines in key fitness metrics like squat jump and sprint times for both age groups.
- U17 players showed more significant decreases in short sprints than U15 players, highlighting the need for targeted training interventions to combat the negative effects of a short-term training stoppage, especially regarding sprinting ability in older players.
