Background: Calf muscle strain injuries (CMSI), also known as "tennis leg," are frequently observed in middle-aged and physically active people, including non-professional athletes. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently used to assess the extent of these injuries, the relationship between MRI findings and long-term functional outcomes in non-athletic populations remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between MRI-detected injury severity and functional outcomes using the Achilles Tendon Rupture Score (ATRS) and the Tegner Activity Scale (TAS).

Background: Physical fitness (PF) is important for children's physical and cognitive development. There is increasing interest in the relationship between physical fitness, and executive function. Since it is unclear which physical fitness component benefits which domain of executive functioning, it's challenging to develop effective physical intervention programs for children with executive functioning disorders.

Background: Situational awareness and cognitive function are often discounted in sports training programs, potentially limiting their effectiveness.
Objective: This research aimed to examine the effect of a six-week neuromuscular-cognitive training program on postural stability, hop performance, and agility with and without perceptual-cognitive challenge in a tennis team.
Design: Double baseline, quasi-experimental pretest-posttest.

Objective: To investigate the neuromuscular activity characteristics of Tai Chi athletes and identify optimal muscle synergy patterns.
Method: Data were collected from 12 elite Tai Chi athletes using a Vicon motion capture system, a Kistler 3D force plate, and a Noraxon surface electromyography system. Muscle synergy patterns were extracted using Non-negative Matrix Factorization.

Background: The extensor apparatus of the knee is of paramount importance in generating the torque needed for a countermovement jump (CMJ), especially in jumping athletes. In anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) procedures, graft harvesting from the extensor apparatus may dramatically affect extensor strength and jumping performance.
Hypothesis: The focused jump training of professional jumping athletes would increase the likelihood of restoring jumping performance after ACLR, despite the graft choice (autologous bone-patellar tendon-bone [BPTB] or hamstring [HS] tendon).
