Normative values and changes in range of motion, strength, and functional performance over 1 year in adolescent female football players
Normative values for ROM and strength assessments of neck, back, trunk, hips, knees, calves and ankles are presented for adolescent female football players. Generally, fluctuations in ROM were small with little clinical meaning, whereas strength improved over 1 year.

Daily fluctuations in visual motion discriminability contribute to daily fluctuations in continuous visuomotor performance
In ball games such as table tennis, in which a ball moving at high speed is hit, the visual system in the brain processes the motion information of the ball to predict the arrival point and form a motor command for directing the racket there. Therefore, the quality of the visual information processing is an important factor in determining the quality of the physical movement that is subsequently performed.

Identifying current uses of return to work screening tests and their effectiveness of reducing the risk of reinjury in athletic occupations
The results demonstrated very low level of certainty for the effectiveness of screening tests reducing the risk of reinjury. A gap in our understanding currently exists for the effectiveness of RTW screening tests in tactical athletic occupations following injury and further research investigating is required.

Timed “Max Effort”
Strength is important for every athlete, but even more crucial is displaying it over the course of time. For anaerobic dominant athletes, the ability to access strength immediately and accelerate through range of motion (ROM) is paramount. For the glycolytic-aerobic dominant athlete, maintaining output over the course of the event is key.
