Introduction and objectives: The SARS-CoV-2 infection appears to cause functional impairment of cardiopulmonary performance in many athletes. We studied the post-COVID-19 impact on system, through maximal ergospirometry test, elite professional soccer players. Material method: sample consisted 10 AFA (Argentine Football Association) first division players, who underwent pre post COVID-19 oxygen uptake (VO2max) tests. variables analyzed were absolute relative VO2max, aerobic speed (MAS), ventilatory threshold (VT1), second (VT2), heart rate (HRmax) respiratory exercise ratio (RER). Results: mean age was 22.4 ± 6.9 years, body mass 71.5 7.1 kg height 176.2 cm. Post subjects significantly decreased VO2 VT2 by 18% (P = 0.028) RER 5% 0.02).

In the past few years, much research has been conducted on edible mushrooms, among which Pleurotus ostreatus (PO)—also known as oyster mushrooms—has received attention due to its many health and medicinal benefits. Some shown that PO active compounds, such lectins, polysaccharides, primarily β ‐glucans, phenols, polyphenols, terpenoids, ergosterols, glycoproteins, are strong immune system modulators, have anti‐inflammatory properties, potentially positive effects cardiovascular athletic performance. this narrative review, an extensive search (academic databases from inception April 25, 2024) was in scientific literature, various aspects of performance were investigated. This review article thereby demonstrates potential benefits for improving overall baseline concomitant sports performance, recovery, function. addition enhancements antioxidant defense, substrate metabolism, being a rich source essential nutrients, we describe possible relationship between intake improved recovery athletes after intense exercise by reducing inflammation, modulating microbiome, neutralizing free radicals, strengthening system. However, more basic studies clinical trials is needed investigate PO’s applications, mechanisms, athletes.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted lifestyle behaviors and health of masters athletes throughout the world. Aims Objectives: purpose this study was to examine impact on diet, physical activity, (physical, mental, social) participating in 2022 Masters Field Hockey World Cup. Materials Methods: A total 391 participants (mean age = 56.83+9.83 years) completed 35-item Health Well-being Athletes Survey. Results: Respondents felt that had either no impact/improvement respectively, their diet (72%/18%), activity (55%/30%), (63%/21%), while reporting or declines mental (67%/24%) social (62%/31%). one-way Analysis Variance (ANOVA) indicate greater negative impacts among some younger groups versus older groups. Open-ended responses other support finding experienced health. Alternatively, reported overall be very good excellent (80%) stress occur rarely sometimes (79%) by time Cup events. Conclusion: a positive whilst having As such, future for field hockey is warranted.
