Breath-hold diving (BHD) is defined as enduring apnea for more than 4 min. It characterized by resistance of reactive oxygen species, reduced sensitivity to hypoxia, and low mitochondrial consumption. The energetic demands different BHD disciplines (static, dynamic, spearfishing) are various. Hence, the nutrition these athletes may play an important role on their performance. main aim this study examine propose recommendations specific population. Also, divide according spearfishing). Mediterranean alkaline diet could represent appropriate diet. Nutritional requirements differ between freediving (static dynamic) spearfishing, mainly because workload. spearfishing includes multiple consecutive dives hence has recommendations. However, proper freedivers based a variety natural foods that support acid–base balance, provide stable source energy, facilitate quality recovery. By adopting healthy eating habits diet, along with regular hydration adapting your needs diving, divers can improve performance ensure long-term health.

Objective: to study pathogenetic homeostasis changes in connective tissue dysplasia substantiate its role the predisposition musculoskeletal injuries. Materials and methods: basis of this scientific-analytical review was analysis data from electronic portals PubMed-NCBI, Google Academy, Scientific e-Library.ru. Results: presented literature indicates that dysplasia, based on polygenically determined and/or environmental factors-induced defects synthesis or remodeling intercellular matrix components, manifested by formation deficient significant biomechanical properties. This is primarily affects structure functions. Depending impaired metabolism stage, a variety clinical signs indicating pathology skeletal bones their joints, failure intermuscular layers tendon-fascial complexes. Conclusions: functions are initially reduced adaptive capabilities resistance physical load, determining injury. A personalized approach choice sports activity training program will help preserve youth health, prevent re-traumatism early disability.

Abstract Artemisia abyssinica and arborescens are unique plants that show significant bioactive properties used for the treatment of a variety diseases. This study assessed nutritional values, functional properties, chemical composition, attributes these as supplements. Compared to A. , had higher fat (4.76%), fiber (16.07%), total carbohydrates (55.87%), energy (302.15 kcal/100 g DW), along with superior including water oil absorption capacities (638.81% 425.85%, respectively) foaming capacity stability (25.67% 58.48%). The investigation volatile compounds found amounts hotrienol (4.53%), yomogi alcohol (3.92%), caryophyllene (3.67%), carvotanacetone (3.64%), which possess anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant properties. contributed over 30% recommended dietary intake (RDI) amino acids. It displayed levels sodium (31.46 mg/100 DW) calcium (238.07 DW). also exhibited organic acids, particularly malic acid, butyric succinic compared . Fatty acid analysis revealed palmitic linoleic acids primary components in both plants, having content. vitamin C thiamine levels. Although showed highest phenolic content (TPC), activity, capacity, demonstrated acceptable efficiency TPC These findings highlight potential species, valuable sources nutrients various applications.
