Objective: Evaluate the results of Pridie chondroplasty as an efficient treatment to recover the complete activity in soccer players and compare this with others chondral repair techniques.
Material And Methods: The patients were professional soccer players, all with a knee cartilage injury treated with the Pridie technique in an arthroscopic surgery between March 1999--December 2004. The age of the patients and the presence of a simple meniscal tear wasn't a fact to exclude a patient. Complex meniscal tear and a ACL rupture were an exclusion criteria. We deferred the support by 6 to 8 weeks. We initiated rehabilitation to the 4-5 post operating day. The follow up average was of 30 months.
Results: We included 34 patients, age rank 19-31 years (average 24.6), 11 of them with meniscal injury Degree I associated with chondral damage. In 26 patients (76.47%) the outcomes were good allowing them to take up again their high level sport activity. The rest (23.53%) had regular or bad results with decrement in the game level, 4 of which (11%) they retired of the professional practice in relation to the found injuries.
Conclusions: The follow up time give us a good validation to establish that the used technique is a treatment of low cost, surgically simple with favorable outcomes and low morbidity comparable to the results obtained with other useful techniques of condral repair in the professional soccer player.

Background: Studies on rest durations during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) often compare fixed and self-selected (SS) rest allocation approaches. Frequently, the rest duration under SS conditions is unlimited, leading to inconsistent total rest durations compared to fixed rest conditions. To address this limitation, we recently compared fixed and SS rest conditions during cycling HIIT sessions, while keeping the total rest duration equivalent.

Background: Youth soccer players in the UK transition into the professional game at 16 years of age. Understanding the differences between youth and professional standards can help coaches and clubs to support player development during this transition.
Objectives: To (i) assess the differences in technical and possession statistics between different age groups (U16, U18, U23) and outfield positions (central defender [CD], wide defender [WD], central midfielder [CM], attacking midfielder [AM], wide midfielder [WM], striker [ST]), within an English academy soccer programme, during match-play.

Background: Chronic diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Much of this burden can be prevented by adopting healthy behaviours and reducing chronic disease risk factors. Settings-based approaches to address chronic disease risk factors are recommended globally.
