Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is increasing in popularity in the rehabilitation setting due to its believed impact on mitigating muscle atrophy, maintaining muscle mass and improving muscle function after musculoskeletal injury. This intervention has shown to be an effective option for addressing muscle strength and atrophy during earlier phases of rehabilitation when higher loads are not tolerated after injury. Although this intervention appears to be a safe and effective approach in sports medicine environments, there is limited information on the young athlete population. The purpose of this study is to provide a detailed overview of mechanisms, safety considerations, and clinical applications specific to the young athlete after musculoskeletal injury.

Department of Health and Human Performance, Nova Southeastern University, Davie, FL, USA.
Position Statement: The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) presents this position based on a critical examination of the literature surrounding the effects of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-3 PUFA) supplementation on exercise performance, recovery, and brain health. This position stand is intended to provide a scientific foundation for athletes, dietitians, trainers, and other practitioners regarding the effects of supplemental ω-3 PUFA in healthy and athletic populations. The following conclusions represent the official position of the ISSN: Athletes may be at a higher risk for ω-3 PUFA insufficiency.

Purpose: This study compared %BFUS to %BF4C in young adult athletes.
Methods: University club sport athletes (86 women, 138 men) from a variety of teams participated. ADP, DXA, and bioimpedance spectroscopy were used to measure body volume, bone mineral content, and total body water, respectively, for the 4C model.
Distinct muscle growth and strength adaptations after preacher and incline biceps curl.

We compared performing preacher and incline biceps curls on changes in elbow flexors muscle size and strength. This was a between-group repeated measures randomized trial. Sixty-three young women performed preacher biceps curl (PC, n = 30) or incline biceps curl (IC, n = 33) for 8 weeks, twice a week.

Human Movement Biomechanics research group, Department of Movement Science, KU Leuven, BELGIUM.
Purpose: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is associated with altered tendon's morphological and mechanical properties, yet it is unclear whether these properties are reversed upon mechanical loading to promote tendon healing. This study aims to determine the extent to which pathological tendon's morphological and mechanical properties adapt throughout a 12-week eccentric rehabilitation protocol.
Methods: Forty participants with midportion AT were recruited and participated in a 12-week eccentric rehabilitation program.
Cigarette Smoking Impairs Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Response at Peak Incremental Exercise and during Recovery in Young, Physically Active Adults.
Med Sci Sports Exerc
November 2024
Department of Biomedical Sciences for Health, Università degli Studi di Milano, ITALY.
Purpose: Cigarette smoking (CS) induces systemic changes that impair cardiorespiratory and muscular function both at rest and during exercise. Although these abnormalities are reported in sedentary, middle-aged smokers (SM) with pulmonary disease, few and controversial studies focused on young, physically active SM at the early stage of smoking history. This study aimed at assessing the impact CS on cardiorespiratory and metabolic response during an incremental test and the subsequent recovery in young, physically active SM without known lung or cardiovascular disease.
