Track compliance does not affect sprinting performance
Article Abstract:
A study comparing three running track configurations with different stiffness was conducted to examine the effect of track compliance on sprint performance. Results show that maximum ground reaction force and ground contact time were not affected, thus confirming that the rate of force generation was also not affected by track compliance.

Morphology of the deltoid muscles in elite tennis players
Article Abstract:
An investigation into the deltoid muscle properties of the dominant and non-dominant arm in professional male tennis players is conducted, as muscle force and neuromuscular activity are important aspects of racket sports. Results show that there was no significant change in muscle fiber types after regular tennis training.

Effect of different recovery patterns on repeated-sprint ability and neuromuscular responses
Article Abstract:
The effect of recovery pattern on mechanical and neuromuscular responses in active men during three repeated-sprint ability tests consisting of ten 6-s cycling sprints is examined. The analysis has shown that peripheral impairments caused significant differences in repeated-sprint ability between recovery patterns.
