In this study, fifty active CrossFit athletes were divided into beginner (n=25, mean age 24.8±5.2 years) and experienced groups (n=25, mean age 25.1±4.9 years) to assess injury risk, body fat distribution, and functional movement quality at different levels of experience. All participants attended training sessions five times a week and were preparing for competitions, training CrossFit at a competitive level, with the beginner group having up to 2 years of CrossFit training and the experienced group having 4-6 years of training. We involved fifty active CrossFit athletes, divided into beginner and experienced groups, in our study. The athletes in the beginning group (n=25, mean age 24.8±5.2 years) had no more than 2 years of training experience, while the athletes in the experienced group (n=25, mean age 25.1±4.9 years) had between 4-6 years of training experience. All participants attended training sessions five times a week and were preparing for competitions, training CrossFit at a competitive level. Both groups were evaluated for skinfold thickness and body fat percentage using appropriate measurement techniques, while functional movements were assessed separately using the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) Kit system and protocol. The results indicated that the experienced group demonstrated significantly higher overall FMS scores (U = 71.5, p &lt; .001, r = 0.67), suggesting better functional movement patterns and potentially lower injury risk. They also exhibited higher body density and lower body fat percentages (U = 126, p &lt; .001, r = 0.51) compared to the beginner group, which had higher skinfold thickness measurements in the breast, abdominal, and thigh areas. The findings of the study suggest that with increased experience in CrossFit training, athletes tend to have lower body fat, especially in the lower body, and exhibit improved functional movement quality. These improvements in movement efficiency potentially decrease the risk of injury, highlighting the benefits of long-term participation in high-intensity CrossFit training.

This study aimed at exploring the social factors in lead young wrestlers with disadvantaged background and from deprived regions to take up wrestling. Utilizing a cross-sectional survey design, the research explores demographics, socioeconomic status, and the motivators behind wrestling involvement among 129 participants aged 9 to 16. Purposefully selecting regions with limited wrestling activity, the study is part of a special project. Conducted incentive camping period in Antalya study reveal that key motivators to wrestlers include Physical Education Teachers (PET) (22%), friends (19%), siblings (15%), fathers (12%) and others (14%). Although, there were 70% of participants who have some idols from countrywide, it was found that they have lack of idols in the regions of our participant group. Despite wrestlers have some disadvantages in social status such as the lack of wrestling authority in family members, camping affected them positively and encouraged them in wrestling career. Prospective wrestlers had declared that they come from low-income families underlining the socio-economic difficulties. It is thought that situations such as conducting the study in a seaside camp in a 5-star hotel, recognizing idol athletes increase the children’s interest in wrestling and will have a positive effect on their future sports life despite their disadvantaged backgrounds

Complete blood count analysis has a major importance as a first laboratory evaluation. In particular data obtained from complete blood count are relevant to correctly diagnose and follow up different medical conditions. In athletes, medical examinations and laboratory test are mandatory, especially when a sportive event will soon take place. Different automatic techniques are used to evaluate percentages of different leukocyte populations with a high accuracy. Flow cytometry represents a technology that is mainly used to diagnose different lymphoproliferative and myeloproliferative neoplastic disorders. In this study 127 samples from clinically healthy young athletes were collected and analyzed with both flow cytometry and automatic method to evaluate the usefulness of flow cytometry in detecting different leukocyte populations based on their scatter properties. Results showed that flow cytometry is a reliable technique having showed a high accuracy for different cell populations. Intra class correlation coefficient was &gt;0.80 for all populations showing a high correlation between the two methods. However, a higher number of cases, the involvement of other automatic techniques are mandatory to confirm these results.

In this study, a basic football training model for students at Padang football schools is developed. The method employed in this research was research and development on the basis of Borg and Gall’s references; data from needs analysis were collected and then used to create a training model. The data were analyzed statistically to determine the effectiveness of this model. The mean difference test (t-test) is utilized to determine the difference between the structurally controlled exercise group and the uncontrolled group. The sample in this study involved 32 football school students aged 11–12 years. After the entire research process was conducted, a basic game-based training technique model was generated, which was named the Football Basic Technique Training Model. The results of data analysis and interpretation show that (1) the model follows the principles of necessary skills training in playing football; (2) it is useful to be used to optimize the basic technical skills of playing football; and (3) it can be applied as a guide in carrying out the training process, especially for children aged 11–12 years

The world of elite sports is marked by intense physical and psychological strains, significantly augmenting the demands on athletes' bodies and rendering them susceptible to iron deficiency, and anemia, especially women athletes. Iron deficiency can have severe consequences, including heightened injury risks, delayed recovery following physical exertion, compromised immunity and diminished athletic performance. Notably, iron deficiency in athletes can persist without manifesting as anemia. Consequently, comprehensive research is crucial to identify iron deficiency states in athletes. Our study focused on researching the ferritin content and other indicators of iron metabolism in the blood of 159 qualified athletes (98 men and 61 women) who specialized in various sports. The research entailed the assessment of ferritin concentration, hemoglobin, iron content, red blood cell count, and hematocrit level. The findings revealed a considerable prevalence of hidden iron deficiency among female athletes, with 54% exhibiting prelatent iron deficiency and 16% presenting with latent iron deficiency. They require appropriate recommendations for treatment and prevention. The results of our research confirm the presence of the iron deficiency problem in athletes, especially women. Due to the above, identifying not only iron-deficiency anemia but also hidden iron deficiencies is crucial to ensure timely and effective treatment and prevention.
