Abstract

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to evaluate and compare the reliability, validity, and clinical utility of functional capacity assessment tools and techniques used in athletic populations across various sports disciplines. Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) was conducted for studies published between January 2000 and September 2024. Studies evaluating functional capacity measurement tools in athlete populations were included. Two independent reviewers assessed methodological quality using the COSMIN checklist, and data extraction was performed using a standardized form. Results: From 1,742 initially identified studies, 87 met the inclusion criteria, evaluating 43 distinct functional capacity assessment tools. Field based tests demonstrated higher ecological validity but lower standardization than laboratory assessments. Sport-specific tools showed greater sensitivity for detecting performance deficits compared to generic assessments. Reliability was highest for technology-assisted measurements (ICC>0.85) compared to observational tools (ICC 0.62-0.79). The Y-Balance Test, Functional Movement Screen, and sport-specific performance batteries emerged as the most comprehensively validated tools across multiple sports. Conclusion: While several valid and reliable tools exist for evaluating functional capacity in athletes, selection should be guided by sport-specific requirements, available resources, and assessment purpose. Multi-dimensional assessment batteries that combine quantitative performance metrics with qualitative movement pattern analysis provide the most comprehensive evaluation of athletic functional capacity. Future research should focus on establishing minimal clinically important differences and developing sport-specific normative data.

Abstract

Objectives: This review examines the physiological processes of acclimatization in athletes competing in varied environmental conditions and evaluates its impact on health outcomes and performance metrics. The study specifically investigates the effectiveness of different acclimatization protocols and their application across different sports disciplines. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using five major databases (PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library) from January 2010 to September 2024. The search strategy combined terms related to acclimatization, athletic performance, and environmental variables. Studies meeting inclusion criteria were independently assessed by two reviewers using the PEDro scale for quality assessment. Results: Seventy-eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Heat acclimatization protocols consistently demonstrated improved thermoregulation, cardiovascular stability, and performance metrics (3-7% improvement) when implemented 10-14 days before competition. Altitude acclimatization studies showed greatest benefit at moderate elevations (2000-2500m) with 2-3 week exposure periods. Cold acclimatization research revealed mixed results, with metabolic and perceptual adaptations being more prominent than performance enhancement. Cross-adaptation phenomena were identified in 23% of the analyzed studies, suggesting potential for combined protocols. Conclusion: Acclimatization protocols have statistically significant and practically meaningful impacts on athletic performance and health outcomes when properly implemented. Sport-specific protocols with progressive exposure yield optimal results. Future research should focus on individualized approaches and the interaction between acclimatization strategies and other performance factors such as nutrition and recovery protocols.

Abstract

Objectives: To systematically evaluate the relationship between physical screening assessments and their impact on position selection and smash performance in competitive badminton players. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted across electronic databases including PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and sport-specific databases from January 2000 to March 2025. Search terms included combinations of "badminton," "smash," "performance," "screening," "position selection," and "physical assessment." Studies were included if they examined physical screening metrics, position selection factors, or smash performance parameters in badminton athletes. Results: Analysis of 37 eligible studies revealed strong associations between specific physical screening parameters and smash performance. Key physical attributes identified include shoulder rotational strength, upper limb power, lower extremity explosive strength, core stability, and trunk rotation capacity. Body positioning significantly influenced shuttlecock release angle and clearance height. Gender-specific differences were observed in smash velocity (98.7 m/s for males vs. 78.5 m/s for females) and technique, with females typically employing a "kick-through" rather than "two-footed jump" approach. Conclusion: Physical screening assessments provide valuable data for optimizing position selection and enhancing smash performance in badminton. Targeted assessments of shoulder internal rotation strength in the abducted position, trunk rotation capacity, and lower limb explosive power demonstrate the strongest correlation with smash performance. Implementation of sport-specific screening protocols can identify athlete strengths and weaknesses, informing individualized training programs and optimal court positioning strategies.
