Both orders of complex training improved fitness measures in 25 male university athletes

Saini and colleagues report a randomized parallel-group trial in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (1 November 2026; volume 40, issue 11, pages 1364-1373; Epub 10 June 2026; DOI 10.1519/JSC.0000000000005555; PMID 42269172). Twenty-five male university athletes trained for 6 weeks. Twelve did a ballistic move before resistance work. Thirteen did resistance work first. There was no group that skipped training. Both orders improved countermovement-jump and squat-jump measures, maximal dynamic and isometric strength, horizontal muscle power, and intermittent endurance, and the time effect also covered linear sprint times and change-of-direction speed. A time-by-group interaction appeared only for the 1-repetition-maximum squat (p = 0.017). After covariance adjustment for pre-training scores, the groups did not separate (p 0.058 to 0.981) except countermovement-jump absolute peak force (p = 0.034; Hedges g 0.61), which favored resistance work first. The authors conclude the two orders were similarly effective. The abstract does not print a mean age. PubMed indexes the record as young adults, so the age tag is under 40 on that index term. Not medical advice.

A beet-juice supplementation pilot in older adults with coronary artery disease moved flow-mediated dilation

Soonhuae and colleagues report a pilot trial in Experimental Gerontology (November 2026; volume 225; article 113343; Epub 29 September 2026; DOI 10.1016/j.exger.2026.113343; PMID 42810600). Eight older adults with coronary artery disease, 6 men and 2 women, age 74 years (SD 8), body mass index 29.2 (SD 5.0), completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover of a dietary nitrate supplement, taken as beetroot juice. For two weeks, twice a day, they took nitrate-rich beetroot juice or a nitrate-depleted beetroot placebo, then crossed over. Retention was 100 percent, adherence was 100 percent, and no adverse effects needed medical treatment. Flow-mediated dilation changed by +0.98 percentage points after the nitrate-rich juice (90 percent CI 0.17 to 1.80; Hedges g 0.72). The placebo mean change was -0.75 percent (90 percent CI -1.53 to 0.04). The nitrate-rich arm was 1.73 percentage points higher than placebo (90 percent CI 0.32 to 3.15; Hedges g 0.73). Arterial stiffness and hemodynamics barely moved. This is a pilot of eight people. It is not proof of a heart benefit a clinician should act on. Not medical advice, and not a substitute for clinician-directed heart care. Both sexes were included, so the gender tag is all, not men.

In 22 elite women who play Australian rules football, in-season protein intake and fat intake were lower than in pre-season

Barnard and colleagues report in the European Journal of Sport Science (November 2026; e70274; DOI 10.1002/ejsc.70274; PMID 42904819). PubMed indexed it on 22 October 2026. The card date is 1 November 2026, the issue month. Twenty-two elite women in Australian rules football, mean age 25.9 years (SD 5.0), were followed for 10 nights: five in pre-season and five in-season. Diet came from a phone food diary (Easy Diet Diary) and sleep from a wearable ring (Oura). In-season protein intake was 115.15 g (SD 35.14) versus 126.48 g (SD 40.10) in pre-season (p = 0.026). Fat intake was 72.93 g (SD 29.55) versus 83.43 g (SD 33.14) (p = 0.012). Sleep measures did not differ by season phase. Each extra year of age lined up with about 8 minutes less sleep (p = 0.001) and about 4 minutes earlier wake time (p = 0.032). Age did not line up with a difference in dietary intake. This is a description of what they ate and how they slept. It is not a feeding trial and not advice to cut protein intake in season. Not medical advice.
