Article Synopsis
- Energy deficits commonly affect female athletes due to high sports demands and strict diets, leading to potential health issues and decreased performance.
- A study with 21 professional female handball players evaluated the impact of three different dietary plans over 12 weeks on their energy availability and physical factors associated with energy deficit syndrome.
- Results showed all players had low energy availability but maintained normal menstrual function, while body composition improved significantly; however, further research is needed to discern the effects of different diets on other health parameters.

Article Synopsis
- The global population is aging, causing increased health risks like reduced balance and higher fall rates due to degenerative diseases.
- A study tested the effects of aquatic resistance training and dietary education over 14 weeks on older adults' health indicators, strength, and functional autonomy.
- Results showed significant improvements in strength, functional self-sufficiency, and aerobic capacity for those in the training group, although balance and life satisfaction remained unchanged.
Several studies have demonstrated the positive effects of physical exercise programs on physical and mental health throughout life. It is necessary to know the factors that contribute to the well-being of older adults in order to achieve healthy aging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between well-being perception and the use of autonomy supportive coaching behaviours across a motivational aquatic resistance interval training program.

Our objective was to evaluate the acute responses of three HIIT protocols of different work/rest interval times over the total time of the session, with self-selectable load and up to exhaustion, "all out".The sample was composed of 22 male participants ( = 22) between 19 and 24 years old.
