Boosting Recovery: Omega-3 and Whey Protein Enhance Strength and Ease Muscle Soreness in Female Futsal Players.

Adequate nutrition is crucial for athletes to enhance performance and recovery. This study investigates the acute effects of omega-3 and whey protein supplementation before and after exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) on lower-body strength, explosive power, and delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in female futsal players. A randomized, cross-over, placebo-controlled, double-blind study involved 15 female futsal players (Age: 22.

The impact of mobile-assisted swimming applications on intrinsic motivation and fear reduction in aquatic environments among students in the swimming course.

Introduction: This study investigates the impact of mobile-assisted swimming applications on intrinsic motivation and fear reduction in aquatic environments among students enrolled in a swimming course. While technological tools are increasingly integrated into physical education settings, their effects on motivation and psychological barriers such as fear of water remain underexplored.

Methods: A total of 69 male and female students enrolled in the "Swimming Education and Training" course participated in the study.

Effect of a honey-sweetened beverage on muscle soreness and recovery of performance after exercise-induced muscle damage in strength-trained females.

Background: This study explores a novel approach to mitigating delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), a common issue among strength-trained females. By investigating the potential of a honey-sweetened beverage, which contains anti-inflammatory properties, we aim to enhance muscle recovery after exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD).

Method: A randomized, cross-over, placebo-controlled, and double-blinded study was conducted with sixteen female strength athletes.

Anabolic steroid consumption among gym-goers in Amman: knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.

Background: The use of Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) among gym members has become a significant concern due to their impact on physical training and performance. Research worldwide indicates a notable prevalence of AAS use among athletes and gym attendees, often involving substances that are neither safe nor legal.

Objectives: This study aims to determine the prevalence of AAS use among gym attendees in Amman, Jordan, and to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors associated with AAS use.

Investigating the interrelationships among food habits, sports nutrition knowledge, and perceived barriers to healthy eating: a study of adolescent swimmers.

This cross-sectional study aims to explore the relationships between food habits, perceived barriers to healthy eating, and sports nutrition knowledge among adolescent swimmers. The study focuses on understanding how these factors interact and influence dietary choices in young athletes. A cohort of 52 adolescent swimmers aged 12-18 from Al Hussein Youth Club in Al-Hussein Sport City participated in the study.

Athletes' nutritional demands: a narrative review of nutritional requirements.

Nutrition serves as the cornerstone of an athlete's life, exerting a profound impact on their performance and overall well-being. To unlock their full potential, athletes must adhere to a well-balanced diet tailored to their specific nutritional needs. This approach not only enables them to achieve optimal performance levels but also facilitates efficient recovery and reduces the risk of injuries.
