- - Women's involvement in field collision sports is on the rise, prompting a scoping review of existing research to better support coaches, policymakers, and academics in understanding this developing field.
- - A total of 43 studies were analyzed from 2,318 records, focusing mainly on physical demands (24 studies), then technical (18), tactical (8), and preparatory strategies (1), revealing a holistic approach needed for improving performance and reducing injuries in female athletes.
- - The review highlights a significant gender data gap, indicating that existing male-focused training guidelines cannot be effectively applied to female athletes; thus, there's an urgent need to enhance research visibility and data on women in these sports.
Background: Low back pain (LBP) is common in rowers. Understanding rowing biomechanics may help facilitate prevention and improve rehabilitation.
Objectives: To define the kinematics and muscle activity of rowers and to compare with rowers with current or LBP history.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of increased training volume during a 10-day training camp on competitive performance and internal training load (ITL). In addition, coach and swimmer rating of perceived exertion (RPE) for each session was compared.
Methods: Ten national level swimmers (gender: 4 males and 6 females; age: 15±1 years; height: 170.
The debate over low-volume, high-intensity training versus high-volume, low-intensity training, commonly known as Quality versus Quantity, respectively, is a frequent topic of discussion among swimming coaches and academics. The aim of this study was to explore expert coaches' perceptions of quality and quantity coaching philosophies in competitive swimming and to investigate their current training practices. A purposeful sample of 11 expert swimming coaches was recruited for this study.
