Kinetic analysis of change of direction simulating a defensive action in soccer players with and without acute fatigue.

The objective of this study is to analyse the kinetic effects of acute fatigue during a 45° change of direction executed with the non-dominant limb, emulating a typical defensive action during pressing in soccer. Seventeen male professional soccer players (age: 21.7 ± 5.

Evidence for Behavioral Autorepression in Covid-19 Epidemiological Dynamics.

Unlabelled: It has long been hypothesized that behavioral reactions to epidemic severity autoregulate infection dynamics, for example when susceptible individuals self-sequester based on perceived levels of circulating disease. However, evidence for such 'behavioral autorepression' has remained elusive, and its presence could significantly affect epidemic forecasting and interventions. Here, we analyzed early COVID-19 dynamics at 708 locations over three epidemiological scales (96 countries, 50 US states, and 562 US counties).

Sociocultural interactions and self-perception of health in older adults from an active participation centre: A qualitative study.

Introduction: Promoting healthy ageing is a global priority. Active Participation Centres are potentially key in fostering psychosocial and emotional health, contributing to a fulfilling and active lifestyle for older adults.

Aims: The study explores self-perceived health, perceptions of sociocultural participation, emotions that emerged when sociocultural participation, and preferences among older adults engaged in community socio-cultural activities from an Active Participation Centre.

Oregano Essential Oil and Purple Garlic Powder Effects on Intestinal Health, Microbiota Indicators and Antimicrobial Resistance as Feed Additives in Weaning Piglets.

Finding alternatives to zinc oxide is a pressing issue for the pig production sector. We studied the impact of the bioactive components degradation of oregano essential oil (OEO) and purple garlic powder (PGP) during storage in silos, their effect on the morphometry of the jejunum and ileum and the cecal microbiota as intestinal health indicators in piglets during the post-weaning period. We also monitored antimicrobial resistance in the commensal indicator Histological parameters and intestinal microbiota were measured in 140 piglets weaned at 21 days of age.

Timelapse images datasets (2017-2022) from Livingston and Deception Islands, Antarctica, to study snow cover and weather conditions at the PERMATHERMAL monitoring network.

In the Deception and Livingston Islands, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, two sites belonging to the international Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) network were established in 2005 and 2009, respectively, as part of the PERMATHERMAL network. In 2017, part of the installed instrumentation was upgraded, incorporating new CC5MPX automatic photographic cameras from Campbell Scientific to acquire three daily photographs at 5Mpx in resolution, 2592 × 1984 pixels in size, and JPEG format. The photographs are taken during the central hours of the day (14, 15, and 16 h GMT) to ensure maximum brightness, even during the Antarctic winter.
