Effect of verbal instruction on motor learning ability of anaerobic and explosive exercises in physical education university students
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2019 , Article)This study investigated the effect of motor learning with informational feedback into response to anaerobic exercises with and without motor learning tasks in handball physical education university students. Participants ... -
Effects of acute and chronic exercise on immunological parameters in the elderly aged: Can physical activity counteract the effects of aging?
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2018 , Article Review)Immunosenescence is characterized by deterioration of the immune system caused by aging which induces changes to innate and adaptive immunity. Immunosenescence affects function and phenotype of immune cells, such as ... -
Field Tests of Performance and Their Relationship to Age and Anthropometric Parameters in Adolescent Handball Players
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2019 , Article)Handball performance is influenced by age, anthropometric characteristics, technical skills, tactical understanding, and physical abilities. The aims of this study were (i) to determine differences in anthropometric ... -
Gaining or losing team ball possession: The dynamics of momentum perception and strategic choice in football coaches
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2019 , Article)Grounded in the dynamical systems approach, the present research examined the influence of team ball possession (TBP) in soccer on coaches' perceived psychological momentum (PM) and strategic choice (i.e., game-based "stick" ... -
Hot and Hypoxic environments inhibit simulated soccer performance and exacerbate performance decrements when combined
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2016 , Article)The effects of heat and/or hypoxia have been well-documented in match-play data.However,large match-to match variation for key physical performance measures makes environmental inferences difficult to ascertain from soccer ... -
Mechanical efficiency at different exercise intensities among adolescent boys with different body fat levels
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2019 , Article)This study investigated the mechanical efficiency (ME) and associated factors in obese, overweight, and normal-weight adolescent boys during incremental cycle exercise test to exhaustion. Forty-five sedentary adolescent ... -
Passion, trait self-control, and wellbeing: Comparing two mediation models predicting wellbeing
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2017 , Article)Research has found that passion and trait self-control represented key determinants of wellbeing. Yet, no study to date has attempted to investigate the mediating influences of trait self-control and passion for accounting ... -
Playing level and position differences in body characteristics and physical fitness performance among male team handball players
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2019 , Article)The primary aim of the study was to examine the anthropometric characteristics, as well as the physical performance of professional handball players classified by playing position and competition level. Twenty male players ... -
Postprandial insulin and triglyceride concentrations are suppressed in response to breaking up prolonged sitting in Qatari females
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2019 , Article)Background: Cultural, environmental and logistical factors challenge the Qatari population, particularly females, to engage in physical activity, and there is a high prevalence of diabetes in this population. Sedentary ... -
Ratings of perceived exertion misclassify intensities for sedentary older adults during graded cycling test: Effect of supramaximal high-intensity interval training
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2018 , Article)The present study aims (1) to evaluate ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and corresponding intensities during a maximal graded cycling test and (2) to determine the effects of 6 weeks of supramaximal cycling exercise ... -
