The added value of a micro-level ecological approach when mapping self-regulatory control processes and externalizing symptoms during adolescence: a systematic review.

Deficits in self-regulatory control (SRC) represent a core characteristic of externalizing (EXT) symptoms (e.g., rule-breaking behavior or aggressive behaviors) in adolescents.

Auto detecting deliveries in elite cricket fast bowlers using microsensors and machine learning.

Cricket fast bowlers are at a high risk of injury occurrence, which has previously been shown to be correlated to bowling workloads. This study aimed to develop and test an algorithm that can automatically, reliably and accurately detect bowling deliveries. Inertial sensor data from a Catapult OptimEye S5 wearable device was collected from both national and international level fast bowlers (n = 35) in both training and matches, at various intensities.

The Performance Effects of Microdose Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Administration and Carbon Monoxide Rebreathing.

Frequent, low doses of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) have been shown to increase the oxygen carrying capacity of an athlete and enhance endurance performance, although its effect on repeated sprint ability (RSA) remains unknown. If the mechanisms behind improved RSA performance reside within the augmented O2 carrying capacity, then carbon monoxide (CO) inhalation should inhibit RSA. Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the effects on maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) and RSA of two interventions known to differentially influence blood oxygen carrying capacity.

Effects of EPO on Blood Parameters and Running Performance in Kenyan Athletes.

Introduction: Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) administration enhances oxygen carrying capacity and performance at sea level. It remains unknown whether similar effects would be observed in chronic altitude-adapted endurance runners. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of rHuEpo on hematological and performance parameters in chronic altitude-adapted endurance runners as compared to sea level athletes.

Validation of whole-blood transcriptome signature during microdose recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) administration.

Background: Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) can improve human performance and is therefore frequently abused by athletes. As a result, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) introduced the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) as an indirect method to detect blood doping. Despite this progress, challenges remain to detect blood manipulations such as the use of microdoses of rHuEpo.
