Purpose: This study aimed to identify dynamic free-weight exercises for strength training and testing that are strong determinants of specific rowing ergometer performance measures in elite female rowers.
Methods: A cross-sectional study examined the association between 1-repetition-maximum (1RM) power clean (PC1RM), 1RM bench row (BR1RM), 1RM back squat (SQ1RM), 1RM bench press (BP1RM), and 1RM deadlift (DL1RM) with peak stroke power (PSP) and 2000-m (P2000m) and 5000-m time-trial average power (P5000m) in 17 heavyweight elite female rowers.
Results: Significant correlations were found between SQ1RM, DL1RM, and PC1RM with all rowing performance measures (r = .56-.86, all P < .05). BR1RM correlated significantly with PSP and P2000m (r = .52 and .55, P < .01 and .05), and BP1RM with PSP only (r = .55, P < .01). PC1RM and either DL1RM (R2 = 77%, P < .01) or SQ1RM (R2 = 76%, P < .01) were the greatest contributors to PSP. DL1RM and SQ1RM together provided the greatest explained variance for P2000m (R2 = 72%, P < .01) and P5000m (R2 = 60%, P < .05).
Conclusion: SQ1RM, DL1RM, and PC1RM were the strongest determinants of rowing ergometer performance in elite female rowers and are recommended for training and testing rowing-specific strength.

Hormonal and metabolic responses across phases of combined oral contraceptive use and menstrual cycle in young elite female athletes.

Purpose: Despite the significant number of female athletes using combined oral contraceptives (COCs), there is scant literature on their hormonal and metabolic effects across different phases.
Methods: In order to contribute to a wider knowledge of COC-action mechanisms involved in athletes' performance and health, we therefore examined the effects of low-dose monophasic COC (ethinylestradiol/levonorgestrel) intake on sex hormones (estradiol, progesterone, sex hormone binding protein (SHBG)) as well as on a large number of pituitary (LH, TSH, prolactin) and peripheral (triiodothyronine, cortisol, DHEA, DHEA-S, aldosterone, osteocalcin, 25(OH)D) basal hormone levels in nine young elite female athletes, across COC administration (first and second half of active hormone intake, washout phases), compared to eleven female athletes without hormonal contraception across their normal menstrual cycle (NMC, i.e.
Developing and characterising bovine decellularized extracellular matrix hydrogels to biofabricate female reproductive tissues.

This study investigated the development and characterization of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels tailored for the biofabrication of female reproductive tissues, specifically targeting ovarian cortex, endometrium, ovarian medulla, and oviduct tissues. We aimed to evaluate the cytocompatibility, biomechanical properties, and overall efficacy of these dECMs in promoting cell viability, proliferation, and morphology using the bovine model. Bovine species provide a valuable model due to their accessibility from slaughterhouse tissues, offering a practical alternative to human samples, which are often limited in availability.

Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, renowned for its efficacy and convenience in assessing insulin resistance, has been validated as a reliable indicator for various cardiovascular conditions. The current study aims for clarifying the link of TyG with the incidences and prognoses of cardiac arrest (CA) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: Our analysis is a multicenter, retrospective study utilizing data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV and the eICU Collaborative Research Database.
