Summary: As global protein demand surges, it is urgent to explore novel protein sources and develop advanced extraction technologies that can surpass the technological and scientific limitations of conventional methods. This systematic review summarises the emerging protein sources and sustainable protein extraction techniques, focusing on their role in enhancing food system sustainability. This article consolidates current research on novel extraction techniques, such as ultrasound‐assisted extraction, pulsed electric field‐based extraction, enzyme‐assisted extraction, subcritical water extraction and extraction using eutectic solvents, particularly from agro‐industrial by‐products. These methods assist in optimising protein recovery while aligning with circular economy principles by minimising waste and resource use. By evaluating the sustainability and practicality of these extraction methods, the article aims to guide future innovations and policy decisions, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and resilient global food system.

The purpose of the present study was to compare and investigate the relation between the scores in the Training Stress Scale, Reboundability Subscale and Psychomotor Performance as assessed by the Motor Performance Series in the Vienna Test System. The total of 100 athletes (65 males, 35 females) from various sports was divided into three stress groups: High Stress Group (HSG), Moderate Stress Group (MSG), and Low Stress Group (LSG) according to the Training Stress Scale scores. One-way ANOVA indicated a significant difference among the three groups for the Training Stress Scale (p<0.001), Reboundability (Resilience) Subscale (p<0.001), and various parameters of psychomotor performance. The study concluded that the athletes' resilience (reboundalibity) to mistakes decreased with increasing stress levels. Also, the HSG showed poor psychomotor performance in the Motor Performance Series. However, optimal stress levels and proper physiological and psychological training can counteract the negative effects of training and non-training stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study is to compare and investigate the relationship between the training logs, Mental and Physical State Scales (MAPSS), Athletic Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ), CSAI-2 and the eye hand coordination as assessed by the Double Labyrinthine Test on Vienna Test System (VTS). Total of 100 athletes (65 males, 35 females) were grouped in three risk groups (high risk group, moderate risk group and low risk group) according to MAPSS scores. One way ANOVA analysis indicated a significant intergroup difference among the three groups for all the parameters at a significance level of p < 0.001. Pearson product moment analysed correlations between various parameters. The study concludes that as the training distress and training load among athletes' increases, the burnout risk and anxiety level increases, however the self confidence level reduces which proves to be detrimental to the psychomotor performance as measured by eye hand coordination test.

Role of sports vision and eye hand coordination training in performance of table tennis players. Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity, v. 5, n. 2, p. 106-116, 2011. Successful performance in interceptive tasks depends upon the acquisition of visual information about the approaching object. The present study therefore evaluated the effects of sports vision and eye hand coordination training on sensory and motor performance of table tennis players. 45 University level table tennis players were randomly divided into 3 equal groups of n=15. The experimental group underwent 8 weeks of sports vision and eye hand co-ordination training. The placebo group read articles pertaining to sports performance and watched televised table tennis matches, while the control group followed only routine practice sessions for 8 weeks. Measures of visual function and motor performance were obtained from all participants before and immediately after 8 weeks of training. Statistically significant pre to post training differences were evident by better improvement in visual variables and motor performance for the experimental group as compared to placebo and control. The present study therefore concluded that visual training program improves the basic visual skills, which in turn are transferable into sports specific performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
