Purpose To examine the acute effects of concurrent muscle power and sport-specific endurance exercises order on immunological stress responses, muscular-fitness, and rating-of-perceived-exertion (RPE) in highly trained youth male judo athletes. Methods Twenty male participants randomly performed two concurrent training (CT) sessions; power-endurance and endurance-power. Measures of immune response (e.g., white blood cells), muscular-fitness (i.e., counter-movement-jump [CMJ]), RPE, blood-lactate, and -glucose were taken at different time-point (i.e., pre, mid, post, and post6h). Results There were significant time*order interactions for white blood cells, lymphocytes, granulocytes, granulocyte-lymphocyte-ratio, and systemic-inflammation-index. Power-endurance resulted in significantly larger pre-to-post increases in white blood cells and lymphocytes while endurance-power resulted in significantly larger pre-to-post increases in the granulocyte-lymphocyte-ratio and systemic-inflammation-index. Likewise, significantly larger pre-to-post6h white blood cells and granulocytes increases were observed following power-endurance compared to endurance-power. Moreover, there was a significant time*order interaction for blood-glucose and -lactate. Following endurance-power, blood-lactate and -glucose increased from pre-to-mid but not from pre-to-post. Meanwhile, in power-endurance blood-lactate and -glucose increased from pre-to-post but not from pre-to-mid. A significant time*order interaction was observed for CMJ-force with larger pre-to-post decreases in endurance-power compared to power-endurance. Further, CMJ-power showed larger pre-to-mid performance decreases following power-endurance, compared to endurance-power. Regarding RPE, significant time*order interactions were noted with larger pre-to-mid values following endurance-power and larger pre-to-post values following power-endurance. Conclusion CT induced acute and delayed order-dependent immune cell count alterations in highly trained youth male judo athletes. In general, power-endurance induced higher acute and delayed immunological stress responses compared to endurance-power. CMJ-force and RPE fluctuated during both CT sessions but went back to baseline 6 h post-exercise.

The main aims of this systematic review with meta-analysis and meta-regression were to describe the effect of multidisciplinary neuromuscular and endurance interventions, including plyometric training, mixed strength and conditioning, HIIT basketball programs and repeated sprint training on youth basketball players considering age, competitive level, gender and the type of the intervention performed to explore a predictive model through a meta-regression analysis. A structured search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines and PICOS model in Medline (PubMed), Web of Science (WOS) and Cochrane databases. Groups of experiments were created according to neuromuscular power (vertical; NPV and horizontal; NPH) and endurance (E). Meta-analysis and sub-groups analysis were performed using a random effect model and pooled standardized mean differences (SMD). A random effects meta-regression was performed regressing SMD for the different sub-groups against percentage change for NPV and NPH. There was a significant positive overall effect of the multidisciplinary interventions on NPV, NPH and E. Sub-groups analysis indicate differences in the effects of the interventions on NPV and NPH considering age, gender, competitive level and the type of the intervention used. Considering the current data available, the meta-regression analysis suggests a good predictability of U-16 and plyometric training on jump performance. Besides, male and elite level youth basketball players had a good predictability on multidirectional speed and agility performance.

El objetivo del presente artículo fue plantear una propuesta metodológica para equipos técnicos en relación a la utilización y modificación de los diferentes parámetros del juego para el trabajo de la resistencia específica en baloncesto desde una perspectiva integrada. Para ello, se elaboró una revisión en relación al estado actual sobre los juegos en espacio reducido en baloncesto, estudiando el efecto de las distintas variables del juego sobre la frecuencia cardíaca y la intensidad de juego. Durante el proceso de selección de artículos de la revisión, se consultaron diversas palabras claves como conditioning y basketball en bases de datos como Pubmed y ISI web of knowledge. Finalmente, se incluyeron en la revisión 12 artículos que evidenciaron que la modificación de parámetros de juego como el número de jugadores, el espacio, el tiempo y las normas, pueden condicionar la orientación del trabajo de la resistencia. En base a estas conclusiones, se formuló una propuesta metodológica sobre cómo utilizar los distintos parámetros de juego con el fin de planificar y/o controlar las cargas de resistencia específica en baloncesto de forma integrada en el juego. Sin embargo, se debe tener presente que los estudios en los que se ha fundamentado la propuesta, únicamente han analizado efectos simples de los diferentes parámetros. De éste modo, futuros estudios deberían estudiar los efectos de interacción entre los diferentes parámetros para validar la propuesta. Aun así, creemos que ésta propuesta puede ayudar a integrar el entrenamiento de la resistencia con la técnica y la táctica. Abstract The aim of the present study was to create a methodological proposal for coaching staff, which consist in using the game parameters during small sided games in order to integrate endurance training with technical and tactical drills in basketball. For this reason, a systematic review was carried out so as to study the changes in heart rate and game intensity depending on the game parameters used during the game situation. Different key words such as conditioning and basketball in different data bases such as Pub Med or ISI web of knowledge were checked throughout the selection process. Finally, 12 articles were included in the review showing that the modification of some game parameters such as number of players, space conditions, time aspects and game rules, can influence the orientation of the endurance training in basketball. Thereby, a methodological proposal was created to illustrate the usefulness of the different game parameters in order to control and plan the endurance training integrated with technical and tactical drills in basketball. However, the background studies of the methodological proposal should be considered since these studies only have analyzed the simple effects of the different parameters and due to the fact, future studies should study the interaction of the different parameters in order to validate the proposal. Nevertheless, it is believed that this methodological proposal can be helpful so as to integrate endurance training with technical and tactical drills.

We investigated the effects of an intervention that encouraged reflection on organic self-talk used during endurance performance. Using an experimental design, we compared the effects of enhancing metacognitive skills by (a) planning and (b) reviewing and evaluating goal-directed self-talk. Participants completed three time-to-exhaustion cycling task trials in which we hypothesized that the intervention group would perform significantly better than the control group. Further, we expected a reduction in perceived exertion for a given workload among participants following a self-talk intervention. Thirty-four participants completed a time-to-exhaustion cycle ergometer test, after which participants were randomly divided into an intervention and control group. The intervention group performed reflection tasks on performance in the time-to-exhaustion test. Participants completed two further time-to-exhaustion tests. Repeated measures analyses of covariance to test whether the intervention group performed for longer indicated no significant difference in time to exhaustion (p = 0.157). Perceived exertion rates were 2.42% higher in the intervention compared to the control group (p = 0.025). In conclusion, in the intervention group, goal-directed self-talk led to increased sensitisation to perceived exertion, and participants chose to stop exercising at this point rather than repeat implementation of self-talk statements and persist for longer.
