The influence of sprint training on endogenous urinary purine loss was examined in 7 active male subjects (age, 23.1 +/- 1.8 y; body mass, 76.1 +/- 3.1 kg; VO2 peak, 56.3 +/- 4.0 mL.kg-1.min-1). Each subject performed a 30 s sprint performance test (PT), before and after 7 d of sprint training. Training consisted of 15 sprints, each lasting 10 s, on an air-braked cycle ergometer performed twice each day. A rest period of 50 s separated each sprint during training. Sprint training resulted in a 20% higher muscle ATP immediately after PT, a lower IMP (57% and 89%, immediately after and 10 min after PT, respectively), and inosine accumulation (53% and 56%, immediately after and 10 min after the PT, respectively). Sprint training also attenuated the exercise-induced increases in plasma inosine, hypoxanthine (Hx), and uric acid during the first 120 min of recovery and reduced the total urinary excretion of purines (inosine + Hx + uric acid) in the 24 h recovery period following intense exercise. These results show that intermittent sprint training reduces the total urinary purine excretion after a 30 s sprint bout.

Creatine monohydrate supplementation is widely used by athletes in high-intensity, power-based sports due to its ability to enhance short-term performance by increasing intramuscular phosphocreatine (PCr) stores, which aid in ATP resynthesis during intense muscle contractions. However, emerging evidence suggests that creatine monohydrate offers benefits beyond athletic performance. This narrative review explores the literature supporting the advantages of creatine supplementation in women, vegans, and clinical populations.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the psychological demands and external workload experienced in the seven sessions leading up to injuries and the demands in the month preceding the injury week among professional Brazilian soccer players.

Methods: Initially, 33 players participated, but only 15 were included in the analysis due to the occurrence of twenty-three muscle-tendon injuries recorded according to International Olympic Committee (IOC) guidelines. The study assessed muscle-tendon injuries, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and psychological variables (i.

Background: Highly trained academy soccer practitioners usually implement an aerobic-oriented session followed by a speed-oriented session during the first and second heavy load session of a training week, respectively. This study aimed to investigate if the order of these physical training sessions would influence the external training loads and the subsequent readiness level on match day.

Methods: Twenty-five highly trained academy soccer players (12 U17 and 13 U19) participated in two experimental weeks randomly presented.
