This study delves into the intricate details of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) by examining key variables such as maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 peak), aerobic energy (EAER), anaerobic (EAN), and accumulated O2 deficit (DOA). By investigating associations comparing athletes in −61 kg bantamweight −66 featherweight weight divisions, we aim to shed light on their physiological characteristics. The sample consisted 20 male volunteers separated two paired groups: ten category up 61 (age: 27.7 ± 5.9 years old, height: 170.9 3.4 cm, body mass: 72.8 1.4 kg, fat percentage: 9.5% 3.0%, professional experience: 7.5 7.1 years) 66 27.6 2.9 176.0 5.5 77.0 1.5 7.85% 0.3%, years).

Introduction: Combat sport athletes are more likely to suffer concussions because one of the goals is knock out an opponent and apply blows during fight. Objective: To analyze mechanisms concussion specific combat sports identify most prevalent signs symptoms that affect after concussion. Methods: The PRISMA protocol was applied, searches were performed in electronic databases using descriptors: Athletes, Fighting, Martial Arts, Sports, Concussion, Brain Traumatic Injury, Physical Symptoms Motivational Symptoms. identification peer selection process Rayyan software. We then extracted articles which met eligibility criteria for qualitative analysis, Risk Bias Used Surveys tool. Results: A total 912 identified, 90 duplicates 81 bibliographic reviews, leaving 65 reading abstracts. Of these, 46 excluded according criteria, including 19 articles. Regarding exposure concussion, 70.2% related number fights 29.8% fighters. modalities 45.5% MMA, 18.2% boxing, 9.1% taekwondo, karate kickboxing. injuries found divided into 27.2% traumatic brain injury 72.8% According 55.2% physical 44.8% motivational. Conclusion: frequency a determining factor incidence post-concussion showed significant motivational manifestations, represent barriers technical-tactical development athletes.

Head acceleration events (HAEs) can potentially have adverse consequences for athlete brain health. In sports, in which head injuries the highest incidence, identifying strategies to reduce HAE frequency and magnitude is a priority. Neck training potential strategy mitigate against of HAEs. This two-part study aimed (1) systematically review literature neck interventions sport (2) undertake an expert Delphi consensus on best practices implementation HAEs sport. Part I: systematic search four databases was undertaken from earliest records September 2024. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Review Meta-Analysis) guidelines were followed, quality assessment completed using modified Downs Black tool GRADE (Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development Evaluation). Papers eligible if they both implemented reproducible exercise intervention targeting within collision, combat or motor sport, assessed outcomes relating either: physical profile neck; head/neck injury incidence; and/or II: 18 international experts, with experience research applied practice training, concussion HAEs, reviewed part I findings before completing three-round process. included 21 papers, highlighting heterogeneity existing interventions. II resulted 57 statements coded into five categories: contextual factors (n=17), periodisation (n=12), adaptations (n=10), content (n=15) adherence (n=3). presents recommendations aiming supporting future research.

Concussion is a diagnosis given due to trauma caused by abrupt acceleration and deceleration of the brain. The consequences involve, among others, impairments in executive functions. Considering high incidence concussions combat sports, this study investigated impacts on core A systematic search was carried out until November 2023, using PRISMA method Virtual Health Library (BVS), PubMed, Science Direct Scielo platforms. 11 studies, including case studies quantitative empirical met eligibility criteria. Risk bias assessed Cochrane Collaboration risk measurement tool. results produced low evaluated three independent evaluators. Of selected, 91% included samples boxers 27.3% mixed (men women). total sample 1,130, aged between 15 68 years. 81.9% indicate impairment functions fighters, with most frequently reported memory (36.5%) inhibitory control (27.5%). suggest that concussion impairs boxing MMA.

Pathological Brain Detection (PBD) is a crucial field aimed at identifying and diagnosing structural or functional abnormalities in the brain related to neurological, neurodegenerative, psychiatric disorders. This detection process typically employs medical imaging technologies such as MRI, CT, PET scans, along with neurological evaluations, blood tests, other diagnostic tools. Early essential for effective treatment, improving prognosis, enhancing quality of life affected individuals. Each common computational method provides unique insights into pathologies. Despite significant advancements technology methodology, PBD faces challenges variability anatomy, complexity disorders, data quality, standardization issues, interpretability models, ethical concerns. Addressing these necessitates collaboration among researchers, clinicians, policymakers develop robust methods diagnosis
