Serum proteins designated as liver function biomarkers are used to evaluate patients for hepatic dysfunction. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) is generally a defect in insulin action and secretion and in the regulation of hepatic glucose production. Exercise to treat type 2 diabetes has had positive impacts on the lives of diabetics. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of the glycemic curve in three different types of training: Strength Training (TF), High Intensity Resistant Training (HIRT) and Interval High Intensity Training (HIIT). The sample is a 57year-old, sedentary type 2 diabetic who underwent the training method - Strength Training (TF), High Intensity Resistant Training (HIRT), and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). once a week at night. Pre-study anamnesis, pre- and post-exercise glycemia were performed. The overall results were satisfactory presenting HIIT as the most effective method for acute post-exercise blood glucose reduction (reducing 29.62%, 34.25%, 38.89 and 36.11% immediately at 10, 20, 30 minutes after exertion respectively). It was concluded that physical training positively influenced the reduction of blood glucose as an acute effect, but HIIT was the most effective method.

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) plays a significant role in stabilising the knee joint. It has a complex architecture made up of collagen
fibers, which makes it well suited to guide movements especially in preventing excessive translations and rotations during functional
activities. However, during daily living and sporting activities, the forces on the ACL occasionally exceed their limit, leading to a rupture.
Primary repair of the anterior cruciate ligament was a popular treatment in the late 19th century, particularly, during the 1970’s and the
‘80s on the lines of repairing MCL or the Achilles tendon, however, an open ACL repair allowed seldom healing owing to its intra-articular
position and lack of clot formation due to the presence of synovial fluid.

Background: Asthma is the most common disease in school-aged children, and the prevalence rate is increasing every year. In Africa, the prevalence is high in schools and reaches 16.8% among students and more particularly during Physical Activities (PA), where physical exercises contribute to the increase of the frequency of cases of asthma attack. In Togo, the prevalence rate being very high, a survey on the management of this disease could be beneficial.
Objective: This study aims to assess students' knowledge, practices and self-management of asthma during physical activities.
Methods: It was a cross-sectional study, by questionnaire, carried out from February to September 2020 among 40 asthmatics from secondary schools in Lome aged 11 to 18 years. The participants were students who had documentation proving that they had asthma and who had agreed to participate in the study. A questionnaire containing information on adherence with treatment, knowledge of inhalation technique. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS statistics version 19.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., an IBM Company, and Chicago, IL, USA).
Results: The participation rate was 60.6%. The average age was 14.1 ± 2.2 years, with the extremes of 11 and 18 years. The Sex Ratio (SR) of the participants was 1.22 with a predominance of men in the total number of this survey: 22 men (55%) and 18 women (45%). During an asthma attack, attitudes varied depending on how long the asthma lasted, but the difference is not significant. The majority (62.5%) had a low level of knowledge about their asthma treatment, and 50% had no adherence to treatment. Most of them (50%) ignore inhalation techniques.
Conclusion: There is insufficient knowledge of asthma treatment and treatment adherence among students with asthma in secondary schools in Lome. Awareness is essential.

Background: Daily step count was associated with various health outcomes. However, the quantitative relationship between daily step count and lung function among general population is unclear to date.
Methods: We conducted a panel study with repeated measurement of daily step counts and lung function parameters in consecutive 11 days among 16 healthy male college students in a self-controlled study design. Linear mixed-effect model was used to assess the dose-response relationship between daily step count and lung function parameters.
Results: Compared with control days, subjects in intervention days had lower daily step counts and lung function parameters. Nonlinear associations of daily step count with FEV0.5, FEV0.5/FVC, and FEV1.0/FVC were observed in all observations, but become insignificant in subgroups of step count ≤ 8000 or >8000. Significant linear dose-response relationships were observed in those taking daily step counts ≤ 8000, showing that each 1000-increase in daily step was significantly associated with 36.81 ml, 20.29 ml, 1.36%, 0.48%, 1.88%, 1.38%, 2.06% and 0.76% increase in FEV0.5, FEV1.0, FEV0.5/FVC, FEV1.0/FVC, MMF%pred, FEF25%pred, FEF50%pred, and FEF75%pred, respectively.
Conclusion: Increased daily step count benefits lung function among healthy male adults, though the excess benefit was limited when taking more than 8000 steps per day.

Mental fatigue is an increasingly recognized factor that can significantly influence the performance of athletes across various sports. Defined as a psychobiological state caused by prolonged cognitive activity, mental fatigue impacts not only cognitive functions but also physical performance, decisionmaking abilities, and overall well-being. This report explores the theoretical underpinnings of mental fatigue, examines the factors that contribute to its onset in athletes, and discusses potential interventions to mitigate its effects. The theoretical framework for understanding mental fatigue stems from the interaction between cognitive and physiological processes. At its core, mental fatigue is associated with the depletion of cognitive resources required for sustained attention and executive function. The resource depletion model suggests that the brain’s capacity for effortful tasks diminishes over time when faced with prolonged mental exertion. This depletion affects the prefrontal cortex, a critical region for decision-making, self-regulation, and inhibitory control. As these functions decline, athletes may experience reduced performance consistency, impaired judgment, and decreased motivation.

Endurance in long-distance swimming is a critical determinant of success, requiring athletes to sustain physical and mental performance over extended periods. The integration of nutritional strategies plays a pivotal role in optimizing endurance, enabling swimmers to push their physiological limits while maintaining energy levels and avoiding fatigue. This report explores the complex interplay between endurance, the physiological demands of longdistance swimming, and the role of nutritional aids in supporting performance. Long-distance swimming places unique demands on the body, involving prolonged periods of moderate to high-intensity physical exertion. During such events, swimmers rely heavily on aerobic metabolism to provide the energy required for sustained muscle activity. Glycogen, stored in muscles and the liver, serves as the primary energy source during endurance activities. However, glycogen stores are finite, and their depletion is a major factor contributing to fatigue. To counteract this limitation, swimmers must employ nutritional strategies that maximize glycogen availability and promote efficient energy utilization.

The integration of advanced technologies into sports has revolutionized the way athletes train, compete, and monitor their performance. Among these emerging technologies, Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENGs) have garnered significant attention for their potential to enhance intelligent sports systems. These self-powered devices, based on the principles of the triboelectric effect, have demonstrated considerable promise in developing wearable sensors, energy harvesting systems, and advanced performance-monitoring solutions for athletes. The incorporation of TENGs into sports technologies has the potential to improve athletic performance, promote safety, and revolutionize how data is collected and utilized in the sports industry. The triboelectric effect occurs when two materials come into contact and exchange electrons, creating a charge imbalance that can be harnessed to generate electricity. TENGs take advantage of this effect by converting mechanical energy, such as movement or pressure, into electrical energy. This conversion process is highly efficient, cost-effective, and scalable, making TENGs an ideal candidate for use in sports applications where compact, flexible, and sustainable energy sources are required.

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in the human body, particularly in bone health, immune function, and muscle performance. For athletes, especially those competing at elite levels, maintaining optimal vitamin D levels is essential not only for overall health but also for enhancing performance, reducing injury risk, and ensuring effective recovery. This is particularly true for elite Israeli Olympic athletes, who face unique environmental, lifestyle, and training conditions that may influence their vitamin D status. Understanding the characteristics of vitamin D levels in these athletes is vital for improving their health outcomes and athletic performance. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be obtained through exposure to sunlight, dietary sources, and supplements. When ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from the sun interact with the skin, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is produced. This form of vitamin D is then converted to its active form, calcitriol, in the liver and kidneys. In addition to sun exposure, dietary sources such as fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and egg yolks can contribute to vitamin D intake.

Kickboxing is a physically demanding combat sport that requires a combination of strength, endurance, agility, and mental toughness. Among the various styles of kickboxing, K1 has gained global recognition due to its unique ruleset that allows a variety of striking techniques, including punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. The intensity of a K1 kickboxing match places significant stress on the body, especially the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and hematological systems. Hematological parameters, which include components such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and various plasma proteins, play a crucial role in overall health and performance in athletes. Understanding how these parameters are affected by the acute physical demands of K1 kickboxing is essential for optimizing training, recovery, and performance in kickboxers. The hematological system is responsible for carrying oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body, as well as playing an integral role in immune function and injury repair. Changes in hematological parameters after intense physical exertion, such as a K1 kickboxing match, can provide valuable insights into the body’s response to such activities. For kickboxers, understanding these acute effects is important not only for assessing short-term recovery but also for managing long-term health, reducing the risk of injury, and enhancing athletic performance.

The effectiveness of pre-game warm-ups in basketball is a topic that has garnered significant attention in sports science and coaching communities. While the physical benefits of warming up are widely recognized, the role of individuality in shaping the effectiveness of these routines is often underestimated. Each basketball player brings unique physical attributes, psychological dispositions, and habitual preferences to the court, all of which influence how they respond to pre-game warm-ups. Understanding and embracing this individuality can lead to optimized performance outcomes and a more tailored approach to athlete preparation. Physical individuality among players is one of the most critical factors to consider when assessing the effectiveness of warm-up routines. Basketball players vary in body composition, flexibility, strength, and endurance. A warm-up routine that works well for a lanky forward with exceptional flexibility may not yield the same results for a stocky center with greater muscle mass but reduced mobility. Stretching routines, for example, need to be adapted to the individual’s baseline flexibility to prevent overstretching or under-preparation. Similarly, players with differing levels of cardiovascular fitness might benefit from tailored durations or intensities of aerobic exercises during the warm-up.
