Diminished respiratory muscle has been shown following a strenuous bout of sit-ups however there is a paucity of evidence for this effect following a strenuous upper and lower body resistance training session. This study investigated the acute effect of a highvolume compared to a low-volume resistance exercise session on respiratory muscle strength.

Twenty resistance-trained males (age 25.1 ± 7.4 y) participated in this randomised and cross-over design study. Participants completed two resistance training protocols (highand low-volume) and a control session (no exercise). Sessions involved 5 sets (high-volume) and 2 sets (low-volume) of 10 repetitions at 65% one-repetition maximum for each exercise (bench press, squat, seated shoulder press, and deadlift) with 90 s recovery between sets. Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) was assessed pre-and post-session and respiratory gases were measured during the recovery between sets.

Following the high-volume session MIP and MEP decreased by a median of 10.0% (interquartile range, IQR = -15.2 to -2.6%) and 12.1% (IQR = -22.2 to -3.9%), respectively, which was significant compared to the low-volume (p<0.001) and control sessions (p≤ 0.001). ACP-196 research buy At 20-min post high-volume session MEP returned to baseline whereas MIP returned to baseline values at 40-min. Greater metabolic stress was associated with the higher-volume session as demonstrated by a lower recovery end-tidal CO2 partial pressure across the majority of exercises (p≤0.008).

Findings suggest that respiratory muscle strength is impaired following a highvolume session resistance exercise session, however it appears to be restored within an hour post-exercise.

Many resistance studies state that they used the traditional method of resistance training in the intervention. However, there is a wide difference on the characteristics of the training protocols used even though they are labeled as "the traditional method". There is no clear definition and characteristics for the traditional method of resistance training.

To describe the most common definitions and references, and also the main characteristics of the training variables of the studies using the traditional training method for strengthening.

Searches were carried out in Pubmed, Embase, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science.

We included randomized controlled trials that included a strengthening program using the "traditional method" and that evaluated hypertrophy and/or maximum strength in healthy individuals.

The initial search resulted in 26,057 studies, but only 39 studies were eligible and included in this review. The common characteristics of the traditional training protocol were frequency of 3 sessions/week, 3 sets of 9 repetitions, with weight = 75% 1RM. The movement time was 2±1 seconds for the concentric and for the eccentric phases. Resting time between sets was 2±1 minutes. The concepts used to define the method as traditional and the characteristics of the intervention protocols were different. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) was the most cited reference.

The "traditional method of resistance training" can be defined as "Three (±1) sets of 9±6 repetitions of concentric and eccentric exercises using an external load of 75±20% of one maximum repetition, completed 3±1 times/week.

The purpose of the present study was to analyse the internal and external loads on regular and floater players during standardized small-sided games (SSGs) with different numbers of players (teams of 3, 5, or 7 players).

Fifteen male semi-professional football players played different SSGs maintaining the same relative area per player. Total distance (TD), distance covered at different speeds (DC), the number of accelerations and decelerations, maximal (HRmax) and mean (HRmean) heart rate and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were registered.

Regular players showed greater internal and external loads in SSGs with 3 and 5 players without floaters than with floaters (ES 0.60-to-1.27). Likewise, with floaters, regular players in the SSGs with 3 performed more accelerations (ES 1.40 and 1.17) and with 7 achieved higher TD, DC > 14 km·h-1, HRmax and HRmean (ES 0.66-to-2.79) than any other. During SSGs with 7 players the floaters showed a higher TD and decelerations than in other SSGs (ES 0.47-to-1.70), and a higher DC (0-6.9 km·h-1,14-17.9 km·h-1) and RPE than in SSGs with 3 players (ES 0.59-to-0.89). During SSGs with 5, the floaters showed a higher TD, HRmax, HRmean and RPE than in SSGs with 3 (ES 0.86-to-1.45). In all SSGs, regular players showed higher TD, DC (14-17.9 km·h-1), accelerations, decelerations and HRmean than floaters (ES 1.24-to-6.23).

Coaches must carefully design SSGs because the number of players and the presence or absence of floaters can affect the external-internal load expressed.

Thus, the paediatric subcommittee of the Singapore Resuscitation and First Aid Council developed interim modifications to the current Singapore paediatric guidelines using extrapolated data from the available literature, local multidisciplinary expert consensus and institutional best practices. It is hoped that this it will provide a framework during the pandemic for improved outcomes in paediatric cardiac arrest patients in the local context, while taking into consideration the safety of all community first responders, medical frontline providers and healthcare workers.
