Epidemiology of Musculoskeletal Injuries In Female Wrestling

Background: Wrestling is among the world’s oldest combat sports and is associated with a substantial burden of musculoskeletal injury. However, epidemiological syntheses in wrestling have historically been dominated by male cohorts, and the injury profile in women’s wrestling remains less clearly defined. Therefore, the aim of this review was to synthesize the available evidence on the incidence, anatomical distribution, severity, and type of musculoskeletal injuries in female wrestlers. Material...

The Relationship of Kinetic and Kinematic Variables With Countermovement Jump Performance in Elite Team Sport Athletes

Abstract Background The countermovement jump (CMJ) is widely used to assess neuromuscular performance in athletes; however, limited research has examined the integrated relationships between phase-specific kinetic and kinematic variables and performance outcomes in team-sport athletes. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to investigate the associations between kinetic, kinematic, and performance variables during the CMJ. A secondary aim was to compare these variables between...

Impact of a Short-Term Physical Activity Program on Emotion Regulation and Eating Behaviors Among Technical University Students

Background: Emotion regulation (ER) difficulties are closely linked to maladaptive coping strategies, including impulsive and emotional eating, which undermine health and well-being in young adults. Technical university students are particularly vulnerable due to factors such as a high academic workload, sedentary behavior, and performance-related stress. This study evaluated the effects of a four-week structured physical activity intervention on ER and eating behaviors among engineering students....

Neuromuscular Activation and Symmetry in Isometric Squats: Comparing Stable and Unstable Surfaces

This study aimed to compare muscle activation and neuromuscular symmetry during isometric squat exercises performed on stable and unstable surfaces. Nineteen recreationally active males (aged 18–27) participated in the experiment. A hard floor represented the stable surface, while the unstable conditions included a BOSU ball with the dome side up, a BOSU ball with the flat side up, and a gymnastics mat. Participants performed two 10 s sets of isometric squats on each surface using body weight. Electromyographic...
