This study analyzed heart rate (HR) kinetics during the Yo-Yo Intermittent Endurance Test-level 1 (Yo-Yo IE1) in children. At the middle of the school year, 107 boys (7⁻10 years old) performed the Yo-Yo IE1. Individual HR curves during the Yo-Yo IE1 were analyzed to detect an inflection point between an initial phase of fast rise in HR, and a second phase in which the rise of HR is slower. The 7 shuttle of the test was established as the inflection point. Engagement with extra-school sports practice was identified. Percentile groups (P₁, P₂ and P₃) were created for body weight and physical fitness data composite (PF). Differences were found between the slopes of P₁ and P₃ on phase 1 for body weight (12.5 ± 2.7 vs. 13.7 ± 2.0 bpm/shuttle; = 0.033; = 0.50) and PF (14.2 ± 2.5 vs. 12.5 ± 2.0 bpm/shuttle; = 0.015; = 0.75). Time spent >95% of peak HR was longer for the children engaged with extra-school sports practice (335 ± 158 vs. 234 ± 124 s; < 0.001; = 0.71); differences were also detected for PF (P₁, P₂ and P₃: 172 ± 92, 270 ± 109, and 360 ± 157 s, respectively; < 0.05; = 0.66⁻1.46). This study indicates that physical fitness and body weight influence HR kinetics during the Yo-Yo IE1 in pre-pubertal boys.

Background: The proportion of older people increases globally, which calls for sustainable interventions promoting healthy aging. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the potential of Football Fitness as a sustainable model to promote quality of life, mental health, and physical function for older adult.
Methods: The study was conducted in collaboration with a municipality, a football club, and a university, and was designed as a randomized controlled trial.

We determined the coadjuvant effect of a recreational futsal (RF) programme versus standard care alone (CON) in men with treated arterial hypertension (TAHT). Thirty-nine men with TAHT were randomised to RF ( = 20; 48 ± 8 years; systolic blood pressure [SBP]: 122 ± 14 mmHg) with 2-3 one-hour sessions/week for 3 months, or to CON ( = 19; 51 ± 6 years; SBP: 126 ± 13 mmHg). Participants were assessed at baseline, at 3 months, and after 1 month of training cessation (4 months).

Background: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of one-year soccer training on physical fitness performance, of under ten (U10) and under twelve (U12) youth levels.
Methods: The study included 28, 10-year-old children, and 28, 12-year-old children. In the U12 group, 19 children participated only in the physical fitness sessions at school (control group) and 9 children in four extra soccer trainings (soccer group).

Purpose: The present study evaluated the effects of regular participation in small-sided team handball training on body composition, osteogenic response, physical performance, and cardiovascular risk factors, as well as well-being and motivation, in young untrained women.
Methods: Twenty-eight untrained 20- to 30-year-old women were randomized to a handball training group (HG; = 14, height 170 ± 5 cm, weight 73 ± 11 kg, VO 37.7 ± 4.
