The menstrual cycle-based training group (MC) showed a significant improvement in countermovement jump (CMJ) performance.

Incorporating menstrual cycle considerations may enhance explosive strength training outcomes.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are effective agents for weight loss.

Practitioners can consider GLP-1 receptor agonists as a viable option for weight loss in patients.

Resistance training significantly improves upper limb muscular endurance in older women (19.50 ± 1.52 vs. 11.40 ± 2.87, p = 0.001).

Practitioners can use resistance training to enhance upper limb endurance in older female populations.

Resistance training significantly improves lower limb muscular endurance in older women (14.90 ± 3.10 vs. 26.56 ± 3.17, p = 0.001).

Practitioners can use resistance training to enhance lower limb endurance in older female populations.

Resistance training improves dynamic balance in older women, with significant improvements in anterior and posterolateral balance (63.9% ± 3.1% to 70.2 ± 2.1 and 88.1 ± 3.9 to 94.2 ± 2.7, p = 0.001).

Practitioners can use resistance training to improve dynamic balance in older female populations.

Traditional-set structure (TRAD) resulted in significantly greater velocity loss magnitude (g = 1.50) compared to cluster-set structure (CLUS).

Using traditional-set structures may enhance performance metrics like velocity loss during resistance training.

Fatigue produced during a basketball game can be analyzed to offer practical solutions for recovery.

Analyzing fatigue can help develop targeted nutritional strategies for recovery.

Traditional-set structure (TRAD) resulted in significantly greater velocity loss magnitude (g = 1.50) compared to cluster-set structure (CLUS).

Practitioners may consider using traditional-set structures to enhance performance metrics like velocity loss.

Only nutrition knowledge and food choice were associated with weight loss at 18 months.

Focusing on enhancing nutrition knowledge and food choices can be crucial for weight loss success.

Practical recommendations for weight management should include supportive communication and shared decision-making.

Incorporating communication strategies can enhance weight management efforts.

The use of chains during resistance training (CRT) resulted in a 28% improvement in bench press 1RM compared to a 19% improvement with traditional resistance training (TRT).

Incorporating chains into resistance training may enhance strength gains more effectively than traditional methods.

Both CRT and TRT groups showed improvements in strength compared to the non-exercise control group (CG).

Both CRT and TRT are effective for improving strength in recreationally-trained individuals.

CRT led to an 8% improvement in back squat endurance, while TRT only showed a 2% improvement.

Using chains in resistance training may enhance muscular endurance more than traditional methods.

The ST group exhibited superior increases in leg press 1 repetition maximum (1RM) strength of -14 kg (95 % CI (-23, -5)).

Traditional strength training is more effective for increasing maximal strength compared to lighter load training.

Training considerations inclusive of the extensors may benefit women who engage in resistance training as a means of mitigating risk for low back pain.

Incorporating extensor exercises can help practitioners reduce the risk of low back pain in their clients.

Both training to failure and submaximal effort result in similar increases in strength and local muscular endurance.

Both training methods can be effective for improving strength and endurance.

Teaching lifestyle modification and self-control plays a major role in reducing weight and BMI.

Practitioners should focus on teaching lifestyle changes and self-control strategies to enhance weight loss efforts.

Participants demonstrated a 36.5% increase in composite load lifted across compound exercises.

Strength training protocols can effectively enhance lifting capacity in breast cancer survivors.

Seated knee extension exercises produced approximately 8% greater peak torque and work output compared to supine knee extension exercises.

Practitioners may consider seated knee extension exercises for improved performance in strength and work output.

Competitors generally adjusted resistance training (RT) in a variety of ways during peak week, with proximity-to-failure being the most frequently manipulated variable.

Trainers should consider adjusting training variables like proximity-to-failure for competitors during peak week.

There were statistically significant reductions in all craving variables in the intervention group compared to the controls.

Weight loss interventions may effectively reduce food cravings.

Patients can achieve significant weight reduction with the fixed-dose, extended-release combination of naltrexone and bupropion (NB-ER) compared with placebo when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Practitioners should consider prescribing NB-ER for patients with obesity who are also engaging in dietary and physical activity changes.

VBT improves neuromuscular performance and functional capability in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Incorporating VBT can enhance both performance and functional abilities in Parkinson's patients.

Improvements in maximal gait speed require a frequency of 3 days per week of VBT.

To maximize gait speed improvements, practitioners should recommend VBT at 3 days per week for Parkinson's patients.
