Role of Central Fatigue in Resistance and Endurance Exercises: An Emphasis on Mechanisms and Potential Sites
"An exercise-induced reduction in maximal force production, or the inability to continue an activity with enough force, is defined as fatigue. Although the etiology of fatigue is complex, it can be divided into two distinct components: central and peripheral. Central fatigue is the progressive exercise-induced loss of the voluntary activation, or decrease in the neural stimulation, of the muscle, thereby reducing maximal force production".

INFLUENCE OF LUMBOPELVIC STABILITY ON DEADLIFT PERFORMANCE IN COMPETITIVE POWERLIFTERS
"The deadlift exposes the spine to extreme loads and requires adequate lumbopelvic (core) stability. Deadlift performance may be influenced by the neuromuscular control of the trunk. In this study, we aimed to compare the transversus abdominis contractile rates in an elite powerlifter with those of a control group during deadlift and estimate the relationships between core stability and deadlift performance".

HOW THROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF ALPINE SKI NOVICES’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS ALPINE SKIING MAKE THE ALPINE SKI SCHOOL MORE EFFICACEOUS
"The assumption of this study was that attitude towards alpine skiing and expectations of ski novices affect the level of achieved alpine ski knowledge. So, the aim was to determine correlation between alpine ski novices’ attitude towards alpine skiing before the learning process and level of acquired knowledge after completion of structured alpine ski school program. 112 alpine ski novices (33 females and 79 males) participated in the study".

INFLUENCE OF THE TIME OF THE DAY AND CHRONOTYPE ON SPEED ABILITIES IN JUNIOR TEAM ICE HOCKEY PLAYERS
"The aim of the study was to compare the effect of time of day and chronotype on the speed abilities on the sample of junior ice hockey players (n = 20; defenders = 8, forwards = 12; age = 17.05 ± 1.34 years) playing in a competitive year 2013/2014 of Slovak extraligue of juniors. The influence of time of day and chronotype was detected on indicators of speed abilities (speed acceleration of lower legs)".
