Impact of Lower-Volume Training on Physical Fitness Adaptations in Team Sports Players: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: A small number of reviews have explored lower- versus higher-volume training in non-athletes, but the growing challenge of congested schedules in team sports highlights the need to synthesize evidence specific to team sport athletes. Thus, the objectives of this systematic review with meta-analysis are twofold: (i) to summarize the primary physiological and physical fitness outcomes of lower-volume versus higher-volume training interventions in team sports players; and (ii) to compare the effects of lower-volume training with higher, considering the training modalities used.

Methods: We conducted searches across key databases, including PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science.

adapted to steppe-desert climate extremes one million years ago.

Questions about when early members of the genus adapted to extreme environments like deserts and rainforests have traditionally focused on . Here, we present multidisciplinary evidence from Engaji Nanyori in Tanzania's Oldupai Gorge, revealing that thrived in hyperarid landscapes one million years ago. Using biogeochemical analyses, precise chronometric dating, palaeoclimate simulations, biome modeling, fire history reconstructions, palaeobotanical studies, faunal assemblages, and archeological evidence, we reconstruct an environment dominated by semidesert shrubland.

Brain penetration of peripheral extracellular vesicles from Alzheimer's patients and induction of microglia activation.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative pathology. Brain-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been demonstrated to be implicated in AD pathogenesis by facilitating the propagation of Tau, amyloid-β and inflammatory cytokines. However, the impact of peripheral EVs (pEVs) in AD pathogenesis remains poorly investigated.

Understanding 2-(Nitromethylene)hexahydropyrimidin-5-ol Reaction Processes and NMR Spectroscopy: A Theoretical and Experimental Investigation.

Ketene dithioacetals have significant applications in various fields, including natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and corrosion inhibitors. These compounds are highly valued for their reactivity and ability to participate in a wide range of organic syntheses. In this context, the reaction between 1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol and 1,1-bismethylsulfanyl-2-nitroethylene has been studied experimentally and theoretically by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

C-phycocyanin acts as a positive immunomodulator in different primary and secondary organs of mice.

C-Phycocyanin (C-PC) is a photosynthetic pigment with interesting therapeutic properties. However, its effectiveness in modulating the immune system cell populations has not been elucidated. We analyzed the action of C-PC on the modulation of mice immune system.
