Article Synopsis
- Surgeons face high stress during urological procedures, impacting their health and well-being, and heart rate variability (HRV) serves as a valid stress indicator.
- This study analyzed HRV during surgical interventions, comparing senior and junior surgeons' stress responses at key surgery moments: incision, closure, and adverse events.
- Results showed senior surgeons had greater stress indicators, such as higher heart rate decreases and lower HRV, compared to juniors, suggesting they experience more physiological changes during surgery.
Primitive reflexes (PRs) are involuntary motor responses present at birth, typically replaced by voluntary motor control during development. If PRs remain active beyond infancy, they can impair motor and cognitive abilities. This study investigated the correlation between active PRs and Tactical (TaS) and Technical Skills (TeS) in professional football matches.

Overt sex differences in sympathetic neurovascular transduction lead to distinct cardiovascular responses to sympathoexcitation in men versus women. Our study aimed to determine if the cold pressor test (CPT), chosen to simulate highly painful stressors individuals encounter daily, would induce CAS augmentation in a sex-balanced cohort of young individuals and whether any observed CAS increase would differ between sexes.

Methodology: Sixty-nine national-level football players from a French academy were tested (17.
Background: Spatio-temporal running parameters and their variability help to determine a runner's running style. However, determining whether a change is due to the measurement or to a specific condition such as an injury is a matter of debate, as no recommendation on the number of steps required to obtain reliable assessments exists.
Research Question: What is the optimal number of steps required to measure different spatio-temporal parameters and study their variability at different running speeds?
Methods: Twenty-five runners performed three experimental sessions of three bouts of treadmill running at 8, 10 and 12 km/h separated by 24 h.
