Anaerobic speed reserve and acute responses to a short-format high-intensity interval session in runners.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess relationships of acute responses to short-format high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with the anaerobic speed reserve (ASR) of adolescent runners.

Design: Pre-post intervention design.

Methods: Eighteen highly-trained youth runners (15.

Prediction of talent selection in elite male youth soccer across 7 seasons: A machine-learning approach.

This study aimed to investigate the relative importance of parameters from several domains associated to both selecting or de-selecting players with regards to the next age group within a professional German youth soccer academy across a 7-year period. Following a mixed-longitudinal approach, physical, physiological, psychological, skill-, health-, age-, and position-related parameters were collected from 409 male players (980 datapoints) from the U12 to U19 age groups. Supervised machine learning classifiers were used to predict the selection status regarding the next age group.

Reliability of Automated RECIST 1.1 and Volumetric RECIST Target Lesion Response Evaluation in Follow-Up CT-A Multi-Center, Multi-Observer Reading Study.

Objectives: To evaluate the performance of a custom-made convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm for fully automated lesion tracking and segmentation, as well as RECIST 1.1 evaluation, in longitudinal computed tomography (CT) studies compared to a manual Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) evaluation performed by three radiologists.

Assessing maximal sprinting speed in soccer - criterion validity of commonly used devices.

This study aimed to investigate the criterion validity of commonly used devices to assess maximal sprinting speed (MSS) in soccer. Thirty elite youth soccer players completed three trials of a 30-m sprint test to assess MSS. All sprints were simultaneously captured via a radar gun (Stalker ATS II), timing gates (Smartspeed Pro, Fusion Sport), a magnetic timing system (Humotion SmarTracks) and a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) (Kinexon Perform GPS Pro).
