Maximum strength development in martial arts and perception and awareness: new approach for training methods

The development of strength in combat sports is often studied independently of athletes' perceptions, despite its application in variable “open skills” contexts. While the literature highlights the impact of strength training on performance, limited research examines the link between strength improvement and athletes' awareness of associated psychophysical benefits. This study aimed to provide preliminary evidence exploring the relationship between the physical effects of a strength training ...

Exploring the Gut Microbiome in Combat Sports: A Systematic Scoping Review

The gut microbiota represents a complex microbial ecosystem with the potential to influence athletic performance, energy metabolism, inflammatory responses, and recovery capacity in athletes. However, the specific relationship between microbiota and performance in combat sport athletes remains poorly characterized. This scoping review systematically maps current evidence on gut microbiota-combat sports performance relationships, identifies microbial response patterns to training and comp...

Testing a Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task Training for Autistic Children on Anticipatory and Reactive Brain Processing, and Behavior

This study investigated motor, cognitive, and brain function in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to evaluate a 12-week cognitive-motor dual-task (CMDT) training program aimed at reducing functional gaps compared to typically developing (TD) peers. Twenty-one participants (10 ASD, 11 TD; ages 10–14) were recruited. The ASD group underwent twice-weekly a CMDT sessions, while the TD group was assessed twice to control for learning and developmental effects. Pre- and posttraining eval...
