Neuromuscular and Metabolic Responses to Three Different Resistance Exercise Methods
Conclusion: These results indicate that exercise intensity during the resistance exercise is important for the enhancement of lactate responses, but the slow resistance exercise method could induce acute neuromuscular response as much as high intensity methods. It seems that this method will be advantageous for those who want to increase acute neuromuscular changes with low exercise intensity and volume. (Source: Asian Journal of Sports Medicine)

Possibility of Delay in the Super-Compensation Phase due to Aging in Jump Practice
Conclusion: It may be suggested that the super-compensation period would be delayed by aging in jump practice. We would like master athletes to refer this result and improve their performance. (Source: Asian Journal of Sports Medicine)

Gender Difference of Aerobic Contribution to Surface Performances in Finswimming: Analysis Using the Critical Velocity Method
Conclusion: The present results suggest that although the aerobic performance might contribute to SF performance for events from medium distance (i.e. 200m) to long distance (i.e. 1500m) in female participants, it might contribute to the long distance SF performances in male participants.

Physiological Responses and Performance Analysis Difference between Official and Simulated Karate Combat Conditions
Conclusion: Official and simulated matches differ considerably, therefore coaches should create new strategies during training sessions to achieve the same effort and pause profile of competitive matches and/or that athletes should be submitted to frequent competitions to adapt themselves to the profile of this event.

Physiological and Perceived Exertion Responses during International Karate Kumite Competition
Conclusion: International karate competition elicited near-maximal cardiovascular responses and high [La-]. Training should therefore include exercise bouts that sufficiently stimulate the zone between 90 and 100% HRmax. Karate coaches could use the RPE-method to follow competitor's competition loads and consider it in their technical and tactical training. (Source: Asian Journal of Sports Medicine)

Agreement Analysis among Measures of Thinness and Obesity Assessment in Iranian School Children and Adolescents
Conclusion: The performance of the four anthropometric-based measurements varied by sex and maturity level. MUAC as a simple and low-cost screening tool can also be used as an alternative to BMI for obesity assessment among pre-pubertal groups. (Source: Asian Journal of Sports Medicine)

Naproxen Twice Daily Versus as Needed (PRN) Dosing: Efficacy and Tolerability for Treatment of Acute Ankle Sprain, a Randomized Clinical Trial
Conclusion: Results showed that naproxen as needed may reduce the pain and edema of the sprained ankle with no significant difference compared to the BID regimen, while it possesses better safety profile and lower total drug use. (Source: Asian Journal of Sports Medicine)

Right Ventricle Chamber of Young Trained Athletes: Morphology and Function
Conclusion: Although the found EF values were substantially similar, the morphological assessment of the initial modifications of this chamber of the young “athlete's heart”, results seem to be more accurate using the 3D method than 2D. The clinical implication of this aspect could be of interest in case of difficulty in drawing a clear diagnosis of any RV chamber disease in young athletes. (Source: Asian Journal of Sports Medicine)

Post-Plyometric Exercise Hypotension and Heart Rate in Normotensive Individuals: Influence of Exercise Intensity
Conclusion: It can be concluded that a plyometric exercise (PE) can reduce SBP and DBP post-exercise and therefore we can say that PE has significant effects for reducing BP and HR or post-exercise hypotension. (Source: Asian Journal of Sports Medicine)

Relationship between Aerobic Capacity and Yo-Yo IR1 Performance in Brazilian Professional Futsal Players
Conclusion: From the current results, it may be suggested that both continuous and intermittent physical evaluations are necessary for obtaining a complete fitness profile of futsal players. The low Yo-Yo IR1 performance of Brazilian futsal players when compared to other elite team sport athletes warrants further investigation. (Source: Asian Journal of Sports Medicine)

Martial Arts Training Attenuates Arterial Stiffness in Middle Aged Adults
Conclusion: The middle-aged martial artists were more flexible in their trunk and hamstrings and had less arterial stiffness compared to the healthy sedentary controls. The flexibility component of martial art training or flexibility exercises in general may be considered as a possible intervention to reduce the effects of aging on arterial stiffness.
