“…Unlike the results of the current study, Kondrič et al [58] showed that recreational football leads to meaningful increase of lean mass and a major part of this increase is due to the lean mass of lower limbs. This is probably due to the necessity of this attribute in the lower limbs for football [59]; however, this is not necessary for success in table tennis [58].…”

Body composition and lipid profile of regular recreational table tennis participants: a cross-sectional study of older adult men

et al. 2018

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of regular participation in recreational table tennis training on bone health, body composition and lipid profile of elderly men. 20 regular recreational table tennis players (11.6 ± 3.6 years of experience) and 20 sedentary older adults (age, mass and sex matched of 65-75 years) participated in the study. Serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol concentrations were determined after 12 h fasting. Body composition was analyzed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Regular recreational table tennis participants displayed higher HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.03) and lower LDL-cholesterol (p = 0.04) and triglycerides (p = 0.002) compared to sedentary participants. In the regular recreational table tennis participants compared with sedentary participants, total (p = 0.001), sub-regional [lumbar spines (p = 0.001), arm (p = 0.006), leg (p < 0.008)] and site-specific [femoral neck (p = 0.007), trochanter (p = 0.03), and ward's triangle (p = 0.001)] bone mineral densities were higher. Body fat percentage (p = 0.04) and total and sub-regional fat mass [arm (p = 0.004), leg (p = 0.02), and trunk (p = 0.04)] were lower. There was no significant difference in the total and sub-regional lean mass between groups (p > 0.05). This study offers preliminary evidence to suggest that recreational table tennis training, with the potential for permanent implementation, is associated with beneficial effects on body composition and lipid profile in older adult men. Further research regarding recreational table tennis to be used as a health-promoting activity for older adults is warranted.

“…Male soccer players are the most investigated population of athletes in sport sciences [41]. Soccer is a high-intensity sport that involves complex movement patterns and that is characterized by an intermittent activity profile [36]. The alternation of walking, jogging, high-intensity running, and sprinting requires the contribution from both the aerobic and the anaerobic energy systems.…”

Anthropometry, Physical and Movement Features, and Repeated-sprint Ability in Soccer Players

et al. 2018

This study aimed to evaluate the associations of anthropometry, functional movement patterns (FMP) and physical performance characteristics with repeated-sprint ability (RSA) in male youth soccer players. Thirty six athletes (ages 16.6±0.5 years, BMI 22.0±1.3 kg/m2) completed the RSA test and other physical tests including countermovement jump with (CMJA) and without the help of arms (CMJ), 10-m and 20-m straight-line sprints, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (Yo-Yo), and functional movement screen (FMS). In addition, a battery of anthropometric variables was measured. RSA performance components such as best time (BT), mean time (MT) and sprint decrement were calculated. Results showed that measures of physical performance derived from horizontal plane in 10-m and 20-m sprints, were more strongly associated (p<0.01) with RSA performance than those obtained with CMJ or CMJA (p<0.05). High correlations (p<0.01) were found between MT, BT and Yo-Yo distance (r=−0.79, r=−0.67, respectively), as well as with FMS scores (r=−0.68, r=−0.58, respectively). Anthropometric measures, such as fat mass, upper fat area, thigh fat area, calf muscle area, and endomorphy were associated with RSA components (p<0.05). Predictors for the RSA performance identified in the stepwise multivariate analysis included Yo-Yo distance, time in sprints, FMP, and calf muscle area.

“…For example, one, two and three competitive fixtures can be scheduled within a relatively short period (e.g. 6-8 days) (Morgans, Orme, Anderson, & Drust, 2014). This intensive competitive schedule can place restrictions on time and thus impact the planning and implementation of training and match preparation (e.g.…”

The present data demonstrate that the organisation of CT (i.e., exercise order and/or recovery time between bouts) and nutrition (i.e., timing of meal intake) can be unsystematic in the applied environment. The organisation of training and nutrition might influence the players' ability to perform high-intensity actions in secondary training sessions and could potentially impact acute metabolic processes associated with muscle recovery and muscle adaptation.
