The influence of muscle strength and aerobic fitness on functional recovery in elite female soccer players.

Background: We examined the influence of muscle strength and aerobic fitness on wellbeing and muscle function recovery in female soccer players.

Methods: Sixteen players from the English Women's Super League (age: 26±4 yrs; height, 1.70±0.

Artificial Intelligence or Nursing Student? Revisiting Clues in the Connectives.

Background: Recent research at a single-purpose nursing institution has suggested a means to authenticate student writing by distinguishing it from artificial intelligence (AI)-generated text through the detection of key terms.

Purpose: The purpose was to replicate and expand the research that identified key terms present in student writing but absent from AI-generated text.

Methods: A total of 5 generative AI writing tools were fed prompts to collect 14 787 words.

G6b-B antibody-based cis-acting platelet receptor inhibitors (CAPRIs) as a new family of anti-thrombotic therapeutics.

Platelets are highly reactive fragments of megakaryocytes that play a fundamental role in thrombosis and hemostasis. Predictably, all conventional anti-platelet therapies elicit bleeding, raising the question whether the thrombotic activity of platelets can be targeted separately. In this study, we describe a novel approach of inhibiting platelet activation through the use of bispecific single-chain variable fragments (bi-scFvs), termed cis-acting platelet receptor inhibitors (CAPRIs) that harness the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM)-containing co-inhibitory receptor G6b-B (G6B) to suppress immunoreceptor tyrosine-based (ITAM)-containing receptor-mediated platelet activation.

Menstrual Cycle and Situational Match Variables: Effects on Well-Being in Professional Female Soccer Players.

We examined whether the situational match factors (location, result, and opposition quality), as well as playing position and menstrual cycle phase, influenced self-reported well-being in female soccer players. Twenty-two professional players (25 ± 5 years) from a squad in the Women's Super League in England self-reported their menstrual cycle phase via an online survey, and their soreness, sleep, stress, mood, and fatigue on a 1 (positive) to 5 (negative) scale on the morning of match day (MD) and for the next 3 days (referred to as MD + 1, MD + 2, MD + 3, respectively). Data was collected for 26 matches across the 2021-2022 season.

Does a self-reported sleep duration reflect actigraphy reported sleep duration in female football players?

Sleep is often compromised in female athletes, and the monitoring of female athletes' sleep is an important preventative and educational tool. With self-reporting of sleep common practice for athletes as part of a daily wellness assessment, there is a need to understand whether sleep indices are being reported accurately, and thus whether self-report data are useful. This study aimed to compare the agreement between self-reported and actigraphy reported sleep duration in female football players, with the intention of informing best practice for athlete monitoring.
