This study looked at whether drinking beetroot juice can improve muscle strength and power during intense exercise. Thirteen healthy, active adults took part. Researchers measured muscle activity and strength after drinking beetroot juice or a placebo. The goal was to see if this…

This study tested whether adapted judo training plus nutritional counseling could improve physical fitness, body composition, and stability in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). One hundred participants aged 7–14, with and without ASD, took part in 10 m…

This study tested whether taking a daily probiotic supplement for three months could reduce fatigue and stress in professional dancers. Researchers measured changes in gut bacteria, immune markers, and stress-related chemicals in the blood. The goal was to see if probiotics could…

This study looked at how 10 months of judo training affects physical fitness and anxiety in children with autism. Ninety kids aged 7 to 14, with and without autism, trained together. Researchers measured fitness with standard tests and anxiety with questionnaires. The goal was to…

This study tested whether drinking chocolate milk after intense kayaking helps athletes recover better than water. Thirty elite kayakers drank either chocolate milk or water after exercise, and researchers measured muscle damage, inflammation, and hunger markers. The goal was to …

This study looked at whether lumbar traction therapy (a device that gently pulls on the spine) can reduce pain and improve function in people with obesity and chronic low back pain. 49 participants received 30 minutes of traction daily for 4 weeks. Researchers measured pain, disa…

This observational study looks at how the body's stress, hormone, and nervous systems respond to a maximal 6,000-meter rowing test in highly trained male athletes. Researchers measure blood levels of cortisol, testosterone, dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, along with heart rate and…

This study looked at how a single wrestling training session changes markers of inflammation, hormones, and metabolism in athletes. Five wrestlers provided blood samples before, right after, and 24 hours after exercise. The goal was to better understand fatigue and recovery proce…

This study tested how a 15-minute ice pack on the back of the hand changes skin temperature and how cold or comfortable it feels. Thirty-nine healthy young men were randomly assigned to get either an ice pack or a room-temperature water pack. Researchers measured skin temperature…
