“…Other US parameters have been related to motor skills in elite sports ( Sarto et al, 2021 ). For example, RMs function correlates with postural stability in footballers ( León-Morillas et al, 2021 ), and thus potentially affects motor skills as well. To the best of our knowledge, however, there have been no studies relating US measurements of RMs with motor skills (endurance and speed) in adolescent football players.…”

Purpose Assessing the relationship between ultrasound imaging of respiratory muscles during tidal breathing and running tests (endurance and speed) in adolescent football players. Methods Ultrasound parameters of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles (shear modulus, thickness, excursion, and velocity), speed (30-m distance), and endurance parameters (multi-stage 20-m shuttle run test) were measured in 22 male adolescent football players. The relation between ultrasound and running tests were analysed by Spearman’s correlation. Results Diaphragm shear modulus at the end of tidal inspiration was moderately negatively (R = − 0.49; p = 0.2) correlated with the speed score at 10 m. The diaphragm and intercostal muscle shear modulus ratio was moderately to strongly negatively correlated with the speed score at 10 m and 30 m (about R = − 0.48; p = 0.03). Diaphragm excursion was positively correlated with the speed score at 5 m (R = 0.46; p = 0.04) and 10 m (R = 0.52; p = 0.02). Diaphragm velocity was moderately positively correlated with the speed score at 5 m (R = 0.42; p = 0.06) and 30 m (R = 0.42; p = 0.07). Ultrasound parameters were not significantly related to all endurance parameters (R ≤ 0.36; p ≥ 0.11). Conclusions Ultrasound parameters of the respiratory muscles are related to speed score in adolescent football players. The current state of knowledge does not allow us to clearly define how important the respiratory muscles’ ultrasound parameters can be in predicting some performance parameters in adolescent athletes.

“…Understanding the expiratory and inspiratory phases is also essential when studying non-ventilatory behaviours, such as vocalisation, swallowing, or vomiting [ 5 ]. Managing the respiratory rate and distinguishing inhalation and exhalation phases, holds significance in evaluations related to postural stability [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Respiratory rate monitoring is fundamental in clinical settings, and the accuracy of measurement methods is critical. This study aimed to develop and validate methods for assessing respiratory rate and the duration leof respiratory cycle phases in different body positions using optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP) based on a motion capture video system. Two analysis methods, the summation method and the triangle method were developed. The study focused on determining the optimal number of markers while achieving accuracy in respiratory parameter measurements. The results showed that most analysis methods showed a difference of ≤0.5 breaths per minute, with R2 ≥ 0.94 (p < 0.001) compared to spirometry. The best OEP methods for respiratory rate were the abdominal triangles and the sum of abdominal markers in all body positions. The study explored inspiratory and expiratory durations. The research found that 5–9 markers were sufficient to accurately determine respiratory time components in all body positions, reducing the marker requirements compared to previous studies. This interchangeability of OEP methods with standard spirometry demonstrates the potential of non-invasive methods for the simultaneous assessment of body segment movements, center of pressure dynamics, and respiratory movements. Future research is required to improve the clinical applicability of these methods.

Plyometric training in football is essential for enhancing athletic performance, as it allows for increasing strength and speed in gameplay. Meanwhile, mental visualization improves players’ technical play and motor performance during both training and competitions, thereby contributing to an overall sports performance enhancement. Collectively, physical and technical training is thought to boost athletes’ confidence in facing competitive demands. Our aim in the present study was to analyze the effectiveness of mental visualization during a plyometric training program for improving strength speed, and competitive self-confidence in young adult football (soccer) players. Our sample consisted of 40 male players aged between 19 and 25 years ( M = 20.82; SD = 1.26). We used a quasi-experimental design with a control group and pretest/posttest measurements. The experimental group participated in an 8-week plyometric training program that incorporated visualization tasks, while the control group underwent the same program but without visualization exercises. We found significant improvements for the experimental group on vertical jump ( p = .047) and speed (50-m sprints) ( p < .034) tests, as well as in their perceived competitive self-confidence ( p < .017). These findings suggest that combining plyometric exercises with visualization tasks may contribute to better motor learning, increased lower limb muscle speed and strength, and self-confidence to face competition.
