Regular physical exercice has undeniable cardiovascular benefits and improves life expectancy. This benefice seems limited to moderate intensity exercises. Intense and chronic physical exercice would lead to heart structural changes. For a long time, knowledge of these cardiac effects seemed limited to the left ventricle. Since more authors have shown that right ventricle is vulnerability to the effects of intense chronic training. We report a Gallavardin-type ventricular stress tachycardia in a young with healthy hearted; in whom a right infundibular arrhythmogenic focus has been found in the absence of structural alteration of the right ventricle. Intense athletic activity may reveal a latent arrhythmogenic focus through sympathetic activation. Ablation was the preferred therapeutic strategy, preferred to drug therapy and derived from an analysis of risk-benefit ratios.

Background: The teams' collective playing strategy rather than the individual player attitudes could explain event outcome and risk of injuries.
Objective: The study aimed to examine the playing style of European teams and compare it to the USA.
Method: 12 matches from the U19 European championship of American Football were analysed.

Background: Breath-hold (BH) training over several years may result in mild but persistent neurocognitive impairment. Paradoxically, the acute effects of repeated BH generating intermittent hypoxia on neurocognitive functions are still poorly understood. Therefore, we decided to examine the impact of five-repeated maximal BH on attention, processing speed, and reasoning abilities.

Considerable attention has been devoted to investigating whether acute activation of the sympathetic nervous system, triggered by daily life stressors, increases central artery stiffness (CAS). Overt sex differences in sympathetic neurovascular transduction lead to distinct cardiovascular responses to sympathoexcitation in men versus women. Our study aimed to determine if the cold pressor test (CPT), chosen to simulate highly painful stressors individuals encounter daily, would induce CAS augmentation in a sex-balanced cohort of young individuals and whether any observed CAS increase would differ between sexes.

Background: The efficacy of whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) may be influenced by individual characteristics. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal exposure time required to reach the analgesic threshold of 13.6 °C, which has been proposed to be a target temperature to be reached at skin level.
