The multidimensional sleep health of individuals with multiple sclerosis and Huntington's disease and healthy controls.

Study Objectives: Sleep issues are common for people with neurodegenerative conditions, yet research has focused on specific aspects of sleep. While important, a more holistic approach to investigating sleep, termed "sleep health," considers sleep's positive and negative aspects. Current studies exploring sleep health have lacked a control group for reference.

Fatigue does not increase limb asymmetry or induce proximal joint power shift in habitual, multi-speed runners.

During prolonged jogging, joint moment and work tend to decrease in the distal (ankle) joint but increase at proximal (hip/knee) joints as performance fatigue manifests, and such adaptations might be expected to occur in sprinting. Fatigue is also thought to increase inter-limb asymmetries, which is speculated to influence injury risk. However, the effects of fatigue on sprint running gait have been incompletely studied, so these hypotheses remain untested.

Does fatigue influence joint-specific work and ground force production during the first steps of maximal acceleration?

During initial acceleration, the first steps of a maximal-effort (sprint) run often determine success or failure in the capture and evasion of an opponent, and is therefore a vital factor of success in many modern sports. However, accelerative events are commonly performed after having already run considerable distances, and the associated fatigue should impair muscle force production and thus reduce acceleration. Despite this, the effects of running-induced fatigue on our ability to accelerate as well as the running technique used to achieve it have received little attention.

Effect of physical activity during COVID-19 on the sleep health of community-level athletes in Australia.

The COVID-19 outbreak presents a serious health challenges, with Australia enforcing tight restrictions, impacting sporting activities and sleep health of many Australians. Routine lifestyle patterns (physical activity and employment) are important to maintaining overall sleep health. Current literature indicates COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the employment status and sport engagement.

A Survey to Evaluate the Association of COVID-19 Restrictions on Perceived Mood and Coping in Australian Community Level Athletes.

No differences in coping or well-being in Australian community athletes based on the level of support received during COVID-19 restrictions.Community level athletes had better coping when a training program was provided.No difference between individual or team community athletes for well-being or coping scores.
