“…The most successful Olympic cross-country skier accumulated 14,300 h of training throughout her career [42]. While there are no earlier studies of freeskiers regarding the amount of training, the present results are in line with what is observed in adolescent alpine skiing and Olympic gymnasts [12,54].…”

A comprehensive understanding of skill acquisition is important for different performance domains, and has practical implications for both sport sciences and public health. The study compared important constraints for expertise development in a physically demanding sport (cross-country skiing) versus a technically demanding sport (freeskiing). Eighteen world-class athletes reported the importance of different constraints for their developmental history subdivided into two age spans: (1) 7–15 years and (2) 16 years until present. The total amount of training did not differ between the groups, but from the age of 16, the cross-country skiers spend approximately 98% of their training specific to their main sport, compared to 75% for freeskiers. No differences were found between the distribution of organized versus non-organized training in main sport, but freeskiers reported a higher amount of unorganized training in other sports after the age of 16. No differences were found in perceived importance of facilities, enjoyment of performing their sport, or the need for early specialization of training. After the age of 16, the cross-country skiers reported a higher need for coach involvement compared to freeskiers. The two sports mainly share common paths to expertise but differ in the need for specific training and coach involvement.

“…Weightlifting is a high-intensity intermittent exercise with short completion times and large intervals between each movement; weightlifting focuses on the strength of the exercise, and the number of exercises does not give the athlete's body a noticeable improvement. 8 Therefore, in the training process, it is necessary to reduce the amount of exercise of athletes through improved training methods.…”

Introduction Biochemical indicators such as blood urea nitrogen and creatine kinase in young athletes are ways to test their fitness. These data provide the basis for assessing young athletes’ physical and functional fitness during training. Objective Investigate serum urea nitrogen levels and creatine kinase levels in weightlifters. Methods 12 biomarkers of athletes were tracked and observed in this article. After this study, it was found that changes were observed in their physiological parameters. These changes are usually found every three weeks. The method of mathematical statistics was used to analyze the data obtained. Results The average creatine kinase levels were significantly elevated in the first cycle. These data differ from the basal level (P<0.01). The increased serum urea nitrogen and creatine kinase levels indicate that the athlete has entered a state of fatigue. Conclusion Blood urea nitrogen and creatine kinase levels are essential in determining the degree of fatigue and sports injuries in athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

“…Because during circuit training, the forms of the training were plyometric or fast movements. According to DeCouto [26], physical training after technical training can increase power, often referred to as explosive strength. A study by Silva [27] on the effect of plyometric circuit training on volleyball players suggested that plyometric circuit training can improve vertical jump performance, strength, horizontal jump performance, flexibility, and agility/speed in volleyball players.…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of plyometric circuit training on cardiorespiratory and power abilities in male volleyball athletes. This study was experimental research with a Quasi-Experimental Design that involved male volleyball athletes from the Yuso Sleman Club as the population. The sample included 20 athletes determined by ordinal pairing, which were then divided into two groups. Using the multistage test, the first group was utilized to measure cardiorespiratory ability (VO 2 max). Meanwhile, the other group used the vertical jump test to measure the power ability. The data analysis applied the t-test to comprehend the data structure in high dimensions because it involved more than one variable. The research analysis showed that the VO 2 max variable in group I increased cardiorespiratory ability by 5.21% or 2.24 ml/kg BW/minute, and group II showed an increase by 2.64 or 1.15 ml/kg BW/minute. The power variable or vertical jump in group I showed 66.20, increased by 0.8 cm or 1.2% to 67.00; group II showed 69.50 cm, increased by 3.60 cm or 5.18% to 73.10 cm. The smash variable in group I showed 27.50 times, increased by 0.20 or 0.73% to 27.70 times, group II showed 27.20 times, increased by 5.8 or 31.32% to 33 times. Based on the results, plyometric circuit training before technical training had a more positive and significant effect on the cardiorespiratory and power of volleyball players, and to improve cardiorespiratory ability and power using plyometric circuit training, it is better to give it after technical training.
