Background: Evidence indicates that international soccer players cover a total distance of between eight and 14 km in a match. Approximately 80 - 90% of this distance constitutes low-intensity actions, and about 10 - 20% is high-intensity. These data are influenced by playing position, formation, league standard, and national differences in different countries.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how a progressive resistance training (PRT) program and whey protein affect muscle strength in HIV-infected individuals on antiretroviral therapy.
- Participants engaged in PRT twice weekly for 12 weeks and were given either whey protein or a placebo, with a follow-up phase to assess strength changes post-training.
- Results showed that PRT significantly improved maximal strength across various exercises, and after a 12-week period without training, there was only slight strength loss, highlighting the program's effectiveness for this group.
Purpose: To evaluate the reliability of short-term recordings (five minutes) of heart rate variability (HRV) and the association between HRV and gender.
Methods: HRV time- and frequency-domain parameters were calculated in 44 physically active students (21 males and 23 females) over four consecutive days. A Suunto t6 heart rate monitor was used to obtain inter-beat intervals (IBIs) that were then transferred to Kubios HRV analysis software.
