Introduction: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is prevalent among athletes. Investigating whether athletes are practicing pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) will assist in delineating the factors underlying the burden of PFD in this population. Additionally, investigating athletes' knowledge of PFD and knowledge of and attitudes toward PFMT may inform interventions to improve the practice of PFMT.

While moderate exercise supports regular menstrual cycle (MC) function, many female athletes experience MC symptoms that negatively influence their training and performance. Hereby, knowledge and communication about this topic are important to promote an athlete's health and wellbeing. Hence, this study aimed to assess the knowledge and communication surrounding the MC among Norwegian rhythmic gymnasts, ballerinas, and dancers.

The Israeli Mamanet Cachibol League (MCL) is a community-oriented athletic program serving mothers through non-competitive recreational sports participation. This study aimed to assess the effects of the MCL on perceived health status, mental health (happiness, depression, social capital), and healthy lifestyle behaviors (physical activity and nutrition). This is an experimental study with a sample of 231 women (174 in the experimental group and 57 in the control).

In this experiment, the effects of different concentrations of cassava starch (CS) on the gel behavior of faba bean protein (FBP) were studied, focusing on the structural characteristics, gel characteristics and physical and chemical characteristics of the gel system. Specifically, with the increase of CS concentration from 4 % to 12 %, the morphology of the sample changed from fluid to gel solid. From the molecular structure, different concentrations of CS affected the secondary and tertiary structures of FBP protein, which made aromatic amino acids move to the surface of protein and promoted the transformation from α-helix to β-sheet.
