The present study evaluated the effects of Velocity-Based Training (VBT) and Circuit Training (CT) on sprint and agility performance in collegiate male handball wing players, using a randomized controlled trial with a non-training control (CON) group. Over a six-week intervention, athletes were assigned to VBT (n = 6), CT (n = 7), or CON (n = 6) groups, with all participants continuing regular handball practice. Sprint (40m) and agility (Illinois Agility Test) were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Internal training load was monitored using session-RPE.

Results showed that the VBT group achieved significantly greater improvements in sprint (−0.21 ± 0.04 s) and agility (−0.38 ± 0.06 s) performance compared to CT and CON groups. The CT group demonstrated moderate improvements (sprint: −0.11 ± 0.03 s; agility: −0.21 ± 0.05 s), while the CON group showed negligible change. Despite similar training loads between VBT and CT, performance gains were greater in the VBT group, highlighting the role of neuromechanical specificity and velocity emphasis in eliciting functional adaptation.

These findings support VBT as a superior in-season training modality for improving explosive performance in handball wing players. The study offers evidence-based guidance for coaches aiming to enhance speed and agility in sport-specific contexts.

Strategy is a plan that is prepared before the match to obtain victory by covering various aspects such as attacking and defensive tactics. The purpose of this study is to analyze the attacking and defensive strategies used by the Indonesia U-23 national football team in the 2024 Asian Cup match. The research method used in this research is quantitative with a descriptive analysis approach. The design of the object of analysis through match videos uses a total of 24 instruments, consisting of 12 attacking aspects and 12 defensive aspects that have passed expert validation. In this study using video samples in matches at the Asian Cup in 2024. The results showed that overall, the Indonesian U-23 national team players applied a balance between attacking and defensive strategies in each match, with an average passing of 220 times and holding ball 196 times per match. However, the final completion rate of the strategy is low, reflected in the shooting results of only 7.4%. players also do a lot of ball control with an average of 160 times per match, but only clear as much as 10%. The conclusion of this study found that the attacking and defensive strategies applied by the Indonesian national football team at the 2024 Asian Cup were effective because they were able to adjust to the characteristics of the opponent through counter attacks and situational pressing. the lack of shooting made is one of the factors for the lack of opportunities to score goals against the opponent.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an eight-week plyometric training (PT) program on selected skill-related performance parameters in male football players. A total of forty male football players (Except Goalkeepers) (aged 18.5 ± 0.5 to 22.4 ± 0.5 years) were randomly divided into two groups: a plyometric training group (n = 20) and a control group (n = 20). The PT group engaged in bilateral and unilateral lower-limb plyometric exercises three times per week in addition to their routine football training. In contrast, the control group continued with only their standard team-based football sessions. Performance metrics including 30-meter sprint speed, dribbling ability, agility with ball, and shooting accuracy were assessed before and after the intervention period. Post-intervention analysis revealed significant improvements (p < 0.05) in sprint speed, dribbling, and agility with ball performance in the PT group, indicating the effectiveness of plyometric exercises in enhancing functional, football-specific movements. The study found no meaningful difference in shooting accuracy between the two groups. These results indicate that although plyometric training can significantly boost explosive power and skill performance in dynamic situations, it may not directly improve precision-based actions like shooting. The research highlights the value of well-designed plyometric exercises in football training programs for enhancing overall performance during matches.

Introduction: Engaging in aerobic exercise is a well-established and accessible approach to enhancing inhibitory control and supporting brain health across the lifespan. Building on this evidence, the present study aimed to examine the overall neural changes in inhibitory control associated with aerobic exercise by applying the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) method. Methods: Activation likelihood estimation (ALE), a coordinate-based meta-analysis technique, was employed to identify consistent patterns of brain activation across multiple experiments. In this approach, activation foci are represented as probability distributions centered on their reported coordinates. Results: A total of five studies were included in this analysis. Peak activations were identified in the right Inferior Parietal Lobule, right Superior Parietal Lobule, left Precuneus, and left Cuneus. Conclusions: The current ALE meta-analysis shows that moderate intensity aerobic exercise, particularly cycling, consistently engages the inferior and superior parietal lobules, precuneus, and cuneus, regions that are essential for attentional regulation, visuospatial functions, and the integration of sensory input that supports effective inhibitory control.
