Context: Agility is crucial for soccer players, and core training can improve it. One study showed significant agility improvements after an intervention including core training for athletes with groin pain. However, it is unclear if these improvements resulted specifically from the core exercises or the entire program.

- The study examined how different push-off distances affect the maximum height of jumps among CrossFit athletes during countermovement jumps.
- Results indicated a quadratic relationship between push-off distance and jump height, revealing that each athlete has an optimal push-off distance for maximizing their jump.
- Additionally, longer push-off distances increased push-off time and decreased mean vertical external force, affecting overall jump performance by altering joint angles and torque production in the process.
Background: Core stability training (CST) is effective in improving postural balance, core endurance, and self-reported outcomes in different populations. This study aimed to investigate the effect of CST in soccer players with groin pain (GP).
Hypothesis: CST would improve postural balance performance, core endurance, and self-reported outcomes in soccer players with GP.
The literature offers limited information on the effect of obesity on the rate of force development (RFD), a critical parameter for mobility in older adults. The objectives of this study were to explore the influence of obesity on the RFD in older adults and to examine the association between this neuromuscular parameter and walking speed. The participants (42 older adults) were classified into two groups: the control group (CG, n = 22; mean age = 81.

Objective: This multicenter, analytical, and cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the influence of the body mass distribution on gait parameters and ankle muscle coactivation in obese individuals.
