The aim of this study was to compare the external load of each session along competitive microcycles on an elite futsal team, considering the positions and relationships of the players. The external load of 10 elite players from a First Division team in the Spanish Futsal League (age 27.5 ± 7 years, height 1.73 ± 0.05 m, weight 70.1 ± 3.8 kg) were recorded across 30 microcycles. The players' external loads were monitored using OLIVER devices. To analyse the external load, Levene's test was conducted to assess the homogeneity of variances, followed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to identify differences in dependent variables across the different microcycle days and player positions. Regarding external load during the microcycle, the day with the lowest external load was MD-1, and the days with the highest external load were MD-3 and MD-4. In addition, considering playing positions, pivots exhibited the lowest loads throughout the microcycle, whereas wingers and defenders exhibited the highest loads, depending on the variables analysed. By providing reference values from elite contexts, this study offers practical insights for S&C coaches to optimize microcycles. Furthermore, it contributes to workload management strategies within sport science and public health frameworks, promoting sustainable performance and athlete wellness in futsal.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is a cement-based composite material characterised by exceptional strength, low porosity and high durability, making it highly promising for reinforcement engineering. Based on the theory of tangential modulus, a calculation method has been developed for the axial compression capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) medium and long columns strengthened with UHPC, using the constitutive relation of materials and internal and external force balance conditions. This study analysed the influence of UHPC reinforcement layer thickness, reinforced layer, reinforcement ratio, column slenderness ratio and initial load level of core columns on the bearing capacity of reinforced columns.

Background/objectives: Aviation firefighting is a strenuous occupation that requires individuals to engage in intense physical activity amidst elevated stress levels and extreme environmental conditions. Despite this, there has been limited investigation regarding the internal and external loads associated with aviation firefighting tasks, which include hose dragging, stair climbing, casualty evacuation, and fire extinguishing in airports and aircrafts. The aim of this study was to examine the internal and external loads placed on aviation firefighters.

Load bearing/energy storage integrated devices (LEIDs) featuring cementitious electrolytes have become ideal for large-scale energy storage. Nevertheless, the progression of LEIDs is still in its nascent phase and considerable endeavors concerning cementitious electrolytes and electrode materials are necessary to further boost the charge storage ability. Here, we propose a facile synchronous reaction method for preparing sodium acrylate (SA)-based in-situ polymerized cementitious electrolyte.
