 Abstract

Sports sciences have emerged as one of the world's most popular disciplines. Recent advances, particularly in sports training, exercise physiology, psychology, sports medicine, biomechanics and other sports related disciplines have made significant contributions to Sports performance and research. However, sports science cannot be considered as a discipline in and of itself. This discipline requires essential disciplines such as kinesiology, Sports Biomechanics, sports medicine, psychology, physiology, anthropometry, anatomy and sociology are some of the important disciplines which is being covered in the field of physical education and sports. Other disciplines' attitudes towards sports sciences may be less positive in India than those in other countries. However, it remains unclear how other fields handle scientific collaborations. Sports scientists with an athletic background may hold biases towards other subjects and scientists. This review focuses on trans-disciplinary literature and research, emphasizing the significance of scientific cooperation. In conclusion, the importance of scientific cooperation and approaches with sports sciences was inevitable. Sport & Exercise Pedagogical subjects are outlined as an education-based, boundary-crossing, multi/interdisciplinary area of study within the field of 'Sport & Exercise Sciences', 'Kinesiology', Physiology and 'Human Movement Sciences'.

 Abstract

The intent of the experimentation was to realize the influence of high speed power training with perceptual skill training on shooting ability among inter-collegiate male hockey players. To carry out the experimentation, Sixty (N=60) inter-collegiate male hockey players studying various arts and science colleges in Virudhunagar district affiliated to Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai, were randomly chosen as subjects. The chosen subjects were separated randomly into three groups of twenty each i.e., (n=20) Group-I underwent high speed power training program, Group-II underwent high speed power training program with perceptual skill training program, Group-III were act as control group. The age limits of the chosen subjects were ranged from 18-21 years. The training groups were underwent the particular training program for the period of twelve weeks. The dependent variables chosen for this experimentation was hockey shooting ability. All the chosen subjects were tested on hockey shooting ability (Harbans Singh Field Hockey Test) before and immediately after the training program. The pre-test and post-test scores were engaged for proper factual examination with dependent "t"-test and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the "F" ratio for adjusted post-test means was found to be significant, the Scheffe's Post hoc test was apply to decide the paired mean differences. The 0.05 level of confidence was fixed for all the cases. The outcome of the experimentation also exposed that there was a significant development on hockey shooting ability after the high speed power training program, high speed power training program with perceptual skill training program and significant variation were found between the training groups on hockey shooting ability in favour of high speed power training program with perceptual skill training program.

 Abstract

Fatigue monitoring is crucial in soccer to optimize performance, reduce injury risk, and enhance recovery strategies. This systematic review explores multimodal approaches to fatigue assessment, integrating physiological, biomechanical, and subjective measures to identify thresholds that indicate performance decline. A comprehensive search of relevant databases was conducted to evaluate studies utilizing diverse monitoring tools such as heart rate variability, neuromuscular markers, biochemical indicators, and player-reported metrics. Findings suggest that multimodal fatigue assessment provides a more holistic understanding of player readiness and load management compared to single-method approaches. However, variability in measurement protocols and threshold determination presents challenges in standardization and practical application. Future research should focus on refining multimodal integration techniques and establishing sport-specific fatigue thresholds to enhance decision-making in soccer training and competition.

 Abstract

The purpose of this study was to look at how volleyball players' vertical explosive power and speed were affected by plyometric and specialized skill training. Twenty-four female volleyball players, ages 18 to 23, from Thoothukudi City were chosen at random to serve as the subjects. Two groups of participants were formed: Group II was the control group (CG), and Group I received plyometric training in addition to specific skill training (PMTASST). For eight weeks, the experimental group participated in evening sessions of a structured training program five days a week (Monday through Friday). Vertical explosive power and speed were the dependent variables in this study, and plyometric training combined with specific skill training (PMTASST) was the independent variable. These were evaluated using established test procedures: the 50-meter run (in seconds) was used to gauge speed, and the vertical leap test (in cm) was used to quantify vertical explosive force.A randomized design was used for both the pre-test and post-test. Each participant's data was gathered both before and after the training session, and paired sample t-tests and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used for analysis. The outcomes showed that the volleyball players' vertical explosive power and speed had significantly increased, highlighting the value of the combined training method.

 Abstract

Top sports performance needs a coordinated plan that combines nutrition with rest habits for winning. A person's health and performance rely on both adequate nutrition and recovery practices for improved muscle function and prevention of sports-related injuries. Users need appropriate dietary intake to support sport activities and body restoration plus they should rest their muscles through sleep relaxation and medical assistance. By examining these two factors this research shows their combined impact that helps athletes reach better results with reduced chances of being hurt and fastens their recovery time.

This article delves into the interdisciplinary integration of yogic science within the realm of modern sports and sports science. In today's highly competitive athletic environment, athletes are constantly seeking new and effective ways to enhance their physical performance, mental resilience, and overall well-being. While traditional sports training methods primarily focus on strength, speed, endurance, and technique, there is a growing recognition of the importance of mental and emotional well-being in achieving optimal performance. Rooted in ancient traditions, yoga offers a holistic approach that goes beyond mere physical conditioning. It facilitates the improvement of strength, flexibility, endurance, and mental clarity, while also addressing stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue.This paper explores the diverse ways in which yogic practices contribute to an athlete's physical and mental development, making them an ideal complement to conventional sports training. The article further examines how these practices are not only beneficial for elite athletes but also for recreational sports enthusiasts seeking to improve performance and maintain long-term health. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this study highlights the scientific principles that underpin the positive effects of yoga, such as the enhancement of neuro-muscular coordination, regulation of the autonomic nervous system, and the promotion of psychological well-being. By drawing on evidence from sports science, psychology, and physiology, the paper elucidates how the integration of yogic science can significantly contribute to the advancement of modern sports, fostering a balanced connection between physical fitness, mental clarity, and emotional stability.
