Background: Prescription of post-match or post-training recovery strategies in young soccer players is a key point to optimize soccer performance. Considering that the effectiveness of recovery strategies may present interindividual variability, scientific evidence-based recovery methods and protocols used in adults are possibly not applicable to young soccer players. Therefore, the current systematic review primarily aimed to present a critical appraisal and summary of the original research articles that have evaluated the effectiveness of recovery strategies in young male soccer players and to provide sufficient knowledge regarding the effectiveness of the recovery methods and strategies.Methodology: A structured search was carried out following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines until November 31, 2020, using the next data bases: WOS, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Evidence Database (PEDro), Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) Search review, EMBASE, and Scopus. There were no filters applied.Results: A total of 638 articles were obtained in the initial search. After the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final sample was 10 articles focusing on recovery in young male players.Conclusions: Neuromuscular performance can be recovered using WVB but not with SS, and water immersion protocols may also be useful, but their positive effects are not significant, and it is unable to distinguish the best water immersion method; match running performance maintenance may be achieved using water immersion protocols but no other recovery methods have been investigated; EIMD and inflammatory responses could be positively affected when water immersion and AR are applied, although SS seems to be ineffective; perceptual responses also seem to be better with CWI and WVB, but contradictory results have been found when AR is applied, and SS had no positive impact. Finally, it is important to consider that AR strategies may modify HR response and soccer-specific performance.

Typically, children with perinatal HIV (PHIV) receive antiretroviral treatment (ART) for a long time prior to receiving disclosure. Communication with children about HIV and treatment is critical for monitoring adherence and retention in care. However, there is a dearth of information on communication between caregivers and their children. This study examines what and how caregivers tell their their children about their illness and medication in the pre-disclosure and post-disclosure period. A qualitative study using semi-structured one-on-one interviews and focus group discussions was conducted with caregivers recruited via purposive sampling from a rural sub-district in South Africa. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The sample consisted of 38 caregivers, 24 of whom were the children’s biological mothers, 20 had disclosed to the children and 18 had not done so. Caregivers who had disclosed had told their children the truth and named the disease as HIV, but communication about HIV was infrequent and focused on pill taking. Those who had not disclosed had lied, deflected illness-related information, and attributed the children’s ill health to co-morbid conditions. To enforce adherence, most caregivers used coercion and threats of the grave consequences of non-adherence as a communication strategy. Those who had not disclosed used deception, deflecting, and coercion as strategies for coping through the pre-disclosure period. There is a need for healthcare workers to prepare, support, and empower caregivers to develop appropriate responses to children’s questions and to understand the implications of deception on future full disclosure and children’s acceptance of their HIV status.

“…The purposeful selection of total number of information-rich participants (n = 57) concerning pesticide safety was based on some inclusion criteria. 32 The inclusion criteria for cocoa farmers (n = 23) were both males and females who resided in farming communities in Ondo, Ogun and Kwara states, communicated in a local language (Yoruba), planted mainly cocoa and used fungicides, herbicides and insecticides. For retailers (n = 15), the criteria were both males and females who sold fungicides, herbicides and insecticides, resided in the farmers communities and did not have other occupations.…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the roles of stakeholders on cocoa farmers’ safe pesticide use in Nigeria using the socio-ecological model as the theoretical framework. Methods This was a cross-sectional qualitative study where participants were purposefully selected based on some criteria. Then, they were interviewed in-depth using a semi-structured interview approach. The interview guide was designed based on other literature and the study objectives. The interview transcripts were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using the content analysis technique. Results In all, 57 participants were involved in the interview process across all the study locations. Five layers of influence (cocoa farmers, pesticide retailers, extension officers, pesticide importers and government agencies) were considered. At individual level, cocoa farmers complained about lack of information from other stakeholders regarding pesticide use except retailers due to the farmers’ proximity to their stores. However, pesticide safety information from the retailers were found to be inadequate due to their interest in financial gains rather than a focus on human health and the environment. Additionally, most retailers had no understanding about the characteristics of products they sold as they could not read pesticide labels. Furthermore, lack of motivations, human resources and facilities hindered effective extension education in the rural communities. Also, pesticide importers took efforts to train the farmers within their network, but majority of these trainings focused on lead farmers who were expected to disseminate the information to others. Besides, the agencies did organize training or workshop sometimes, but it was inadequate due to budget constraint. Lastly, environmental or agri-policies relating to Nigerian cocoa farmers concerning safe pesticide use and disposal were also inadequate. Conclusion Generally, there was a large information gap with respect to pesticide safety between cocoa farmers and other stakeholders which undermined pesticide use safety. This study highlighted the need for government agencies in Nigeria to develop mechanisms to monitor information exchange among other stakeholders and cocoa farmers with respect to safe pesticide use and disposal.
