“…Apart from affecting performance, the daily caloric quantity intake was suggested as a factor contributing to decreased performance during fasting by some studies [16,17]. In contrast, several studies revealed no significant differences in this parameter during the RIF month compared to before Ramadan [5,18]. Meal time, however, has recently been shown to affect energy balance [19,20].…”

Aiming to identify the ideal suhoor timing for maintaining optimal physical performance and health indicators during Ramadan intermittent fasting, the present study compares the effects of early vs. late Suhoor on short-term high-intensity physical exercise while controlling the body mass index (BMI) oral temperature (OT), dietary intake, and sleep patterns. In a randomized design, 19 female pre-university handball players (age: 16.8 ± 0.4 y; height: 1.70 ± 0.9 m; and body mass: 61.5 ± 6.9 kg) underwent two test sessions (at 08:00 a.m. and 05:00 p.m.) at four different conditions: ten days prior to Ramadan (R − 10), the final ten days of Ramadan (R) including both Early Suhoor R(ES) and Late Suhoor R(LS) conditions, and the ten days immediately following Ramadan (R + 10). A recovery period of at least 48 h has been set between successive test sessions at each period. Outcome measures included the Countermovement Jumps Test (CMJ), Modified Agility t-Test (MATT), Repeated Sprint Ability (RSA), and Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), OT, BMI, and daily diary intake were assessed across the three periods. The total scores of PSQI decreased significantly during R and R + 10 compared to R − 10. When performed in the afternoon, CMJ, MATT, and RSA performance decreased significantly at R(ES) and R(LS) conditions compared to R − 10. However, these performances decreased only after R(ES) when performed in the morning. Furthermore, performances were lower during R(ES) compared to R(LS) in the afternoon for all tests and the morning for MATT and RSA tests. These findings support prior research showing a deterioration of physical performance during Ramadan fasting and indicate a more pronounced impact following early Suhoor condition. Therefore, consuming a late suhoor, closer to pre-dawn time, could be suggested as an effective strategy to minimize physical performance decline during short-term high-intensity exercise.

“…The effects of an additional SSGs training program were assessed during RF on technical performance depending on changes in body composition, sleep habits, and RPEs. 62 Twenty-four professional male basketball players from the Tunisian first division participated in this study. The players were randomly assigned to an intervention group ( n = 12) or an active control group (CG, n = 12).…”

Introduction: The literature on the health aspects of Ramadan fasting (RF) is widely spread in many journals. Materials and Methods: This is a narrative review of data obtained from the PubMed database (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland, United States). We used the search term “Ramadan fasting,” and relevant records were examined. The publications are narrated thematically. Results: The publications spanned fundamental, clinical, professional, cultural, and advocacy facets. The publications crossed conventional disciplinary lines and geographical locations and appeared in journals with different access systems. The contents are presented under the themes that emerged depending on the retrieved literature. This year basic coverage included changes in physiology and nutrition during Ramadan. However, the clinical issues included a wide range of topics. These included the impact of RF on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and adjustments needed in endocrine replacement therapy for hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency. Coverage also included chronic kidney disease. The impact on maternal health, fetal well-being, and long-term effects of RF exposures were addressed in several studies. Studies in cardiovascular medicine focused on blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors. Sports medicine and athletes' well-being received somewhat prominent coverage. The impact on renal function, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease, was investigated by a few authors. Several groups addressed the eyes' structure and function, neurological conditions, especially headache disorders, and hematological and oncological conditions. Finally, the impact of RF on several aspects of mental health and well-being was addressed by various groups. Conclusions: Health aspects of RF received a sustained academic interest with a broad spectrum in 2021. This narration provides an overview of the year's scholarly health-related literature on various aspects of health and disease. It should help researchers and clinicians catch up quickly with the health concerns during Ramadan.

“…The studies comprised 922 participants of both sexes (190 female, 554 male, and 178 not specified in the study). Participants ranged from 8-year-old beginners (Martínez-Fernández et al, 2015) to senior players at the professional level (Boros et al, 2020;Brini et al, 2021). The game format manipulations ranged from 1 vs. 1 (Clemente et al, 2021b;Clemente et al, 2019;Clemente et al, 2020b;González-Espinosa et al, 2021) to 5 vs. 5 (Clemente et al, 2021b;Clemente et al, 2017;Clemente et al, 2019;Clemente et al, 2020b;Ferioli et al, 2020;Figueira et al, 2022;Köklu et al, 2017;Mateus et al, 2019;McCornick et al, 2012;Piñar et al, 2009;Práxedes et al, 2021;Tallir et al, 2012).…”

“…Results indicated that the SSGs group outperformed the HIIT group in technical skills, with significant differences observed in dribbling and shooting control. Similarly, Delextrat & Martinez (2014) Brini et al (2021) analyzed the effect of SGGs during the Ramadan period (intermittent fasting) and observed a reduction in individual technical performance. Furthermore, a study analyzed the increase in technological elements (FITLIGHT) combined with SSGs, revealing improvements in passing, shooting, and dribbling skills among young players following a 10-week intervention (Hassan et al, 2023).…”

The ability to design Small-sided games (SSGs) by manipulating the game allows coaches to align the games with players' specific needs, thereby fostering adaptations in their behavior as they engage with the challenges presented in the drills. Given the increasing volume of original research on SSGs in basketball, this systematic review aims to synthesize acute technical and tactical responses observed in players of both genders, irrespective of their competitive level. A systematic review was performed based on PRISMA recommendations in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science database. The eligibility criteria included basketball players who had participated in SSGs, without the necessity for a comparator group. Outcomes focused on observed and recorded technical actions (such as passes and shots) and/or tactical behaviors (individual or collective). Data synthesis comprised compiling the observed technical and tactical outcomes, along with the main findings of the studies. An initial database search returned 1,758 studies. After the study selection process, 41 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis, comprising 922 participants of both sexes that ranged from beginners to professional players. The analyzed SSGs ranged from 1 vs. 1 to 5 vs. 5 game formats. Findings suggested that SSGs with fewer players demonstrated positive effects on technical performance and increased action frequency, while also fostering tactical behavior and decision-making. Moreover, research indicated that SSGs incorporating restrictions on dribbling actions led to a higher occurrence of passing actions. Keywords: basketball training; sports pedagogy; conditioned games; small-sided games; technical performance; tactical behavior.
