“…The difference in strength performance between beginner and elite athletes is influenced by the quality of the training experience and Furthermore, the results of research (Ferioli et al, 2018) state that in the periodisation of preparation, professional athletes have greater strength and power than athletes with lower levels. In addition, elite athletes experience lower levels of inflammation and oxidative stress than athletes with lower levels (Al-Muraikhy et al, 2021). It shows that, in general, experienced athletes have the better physical condition than inexperienced athletes.…”

The study purpose was to analyse the training load and recovery of experienced and inexperienced swimmers with disabilities. Materials and methods. The study subjects consisted of seven swimming athletes with disabilities at the provincial level who underwent training camps in preparation for the Indonesia Paralympics Games. The groups of athletes were divided based on their level of training and experience in national championships. For thirteen weeks, the athletes monitored their training load and recovery rate. Borg CR-10 was used to measure the internal training load, while the athlete’s recovery rate was measured using Total Quality Recovery (TQR). IBM SPSS Statistics version 22 was used to analyse normality and test differences between the two groups. The Mann-Whitney test was used to test the significance of the RPE Borg CR-10, while the unpaired T-test was used to test the significance of the TQR. Results. The Borg CR-10 mean for the experienced athlete group was 7.78±0.47, while it was 8.28±0.56 (p<0.05) for the inexperienced athlete group. The RPE mean for the experienced athlete group was 18.24±1.47, while it was 18.52±1.57 (p>0.05) for the inexperienced athlete group. Furthermore, the Borg RPE shows the training load of experienced athletes of 17.12±1.03, which is lower than the average RPE of inexperienced athletes of 18.21±1.24, and also the TQR average of experienced athletes was of 18.24±1.47, while it was of 18.52 ±1.55 (p<0.05) in case of inexperienced athletes. Conclusions. Experienced para-swimmers had a significantly different training load than inexperienced para-athletes. In addition, the training load of experienced para athletes was also significantly different compared to the recovery rates of experienced and inexperienced para swimmers.

The human lifespan is influenced by various factors, with physical activity being a significant contributor. Despite the clear benefit of exercise on health and longevity, the association between different types of sports and lifespan is yet to be considered. Accordingly, we aimed to study this association in a large international cohort of former athletes using a robust linear regression model. We collected data on athletes from public sources, accumulating a total of 95,210 observations, 95.5% of which were accounted for by males. The dataset represented athletes born between 1862 and 2002 from 183 countries across 44 sports disciplines. We calculated the change in lifespan by measuring the difference in age between athletes and the corresponding reference populations, while accounting for variations caused by sex, year of death, and country. The results revealed that various sports impacted lifespan differently, with male athletes being more likely to experience benefits from sports than female athletes. Among male athletes, pole vaulting and gymnastics were linked to the highest extension in lifespan (8.4 years, 95% CI [6.8, 9.9] and 8.2 years, 95% CI [7.4, 9], respectively), while volleyball and sumo wrestling were the most negatively associated with lifespan (− 5.4 years, 95% CI [− 7, − 3.8]; − 9.8 years, 95% CI [− 11, − 8.6], respectively). The association between lifespan and popular team sports in males was positive for cricket, rowing, baseball, water polo, Australian rules, hurling, lacrosse, field hockey, minimal for rugby, canoeing and kayaking, basketball, gridiron football, and football (soccer), and negative for handball and volleyball. Racquet sports (i.e., tennis and badminton) exhibited a consistent and positive association in both male and female athletes, as shown by an extended lifespan of up to 5.7 years in males (95% CI [5, 6.5]) and 2.8 years in females (95% CI [1.8, 3.9]). Although lacking conclusive evidence, we theorize that the observed results may be attributed to the aerobic and anaerobic characteristics of each sport, with mixed sports yielding the maximum benefits for the lifespan. While results from female athletes should be cautiously interpreted, our study highlights the complex interplay between sports and lifespan and contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the multifaceted relationship between physical activity and human longevity.
