This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity of essential oils from Cupressus sempervirens (CSEO) and Eucalyptus globulus (EGEO) against clinical isolates of colistin-resistant E. coli and methicillin-resistant M. sciuri recovered from diseased food-producing animals in Tunisia.

The Effects of Combined Versus Single-Mode Resistance and Repeated Sprint Training on Physical Fitness, Hematological Parameters, and Plasma Volume Variations in Highly Trained Soccer Players.

We examined the effects of eight weeks of single-mode resistance, repeated sprint training, and the combination of the two programs on selected measures of physical fitness (muscle power, speed, and body composition), hematological parameters, and plasma volume variations in highly trained soccer players. Sixty male soccer players from the Tunisian national Ligue were randomly allocated to a resistance training group (RTG), a repeated sprint training group (RSTG), a combined resistance and repeated sprint training group (CTG), or an active control group (CG, soccer training only). The training volumes were similar between groups.
