Introduction: Prehospital stroke endovascular therapy bypass transports patients with suspected large vessel occlusion directly to an endovascular therapy capable center. Our objective was to determine if an endovascular therapy bypass protocol improved access to stroke treatments. Secondary objectives were to determine safety, effectiveness, and rate of subsequent interfacility transfers.

The effects and reproducibility of 10, 20, and 30% velocity loss thresholds on acute and short-term fatigue and recovery responses. J Strength Cond Res 38(3): 465-473, 2024-This study aimed to establish the effects and reproducibility of implementing 10, 20, and 30% velocity loss thresholds (VLTs) during the free-weight barbell back squat on acute and short-term perceived soreness, neuromuscular fatigue, and physical performance.

- The study analyzed how different sprint training methods (traditional, rest redistribution, and velocity-based) impact performance and physiological responses in semi-professional male athletes.
- Rest redistribution methods (RR4 and RR12) resulted in better maintenance of sprint velocity and higher heart rates compared to traditional training, while perceived effort remained relatively unchanged across all styles.
- The results suggest that using rest redistribution and velocity-loss thresholds could enhance sprint training effectiveness, allowing trainers to tailor sessions to athletes’ varying physical abilities without compromising performance.
