[...]much of this research lacks the application of basic training principles such as individualisation and progressive overload, and consideration of the participant experience. [...]whether this novel training modality is being optimised and if it is feasible in the real-world is unclear. All participants randomised with baseline assessments were included in intention-to-treat analysis using linear mixed effects models. Considering physical performance, maximal oxygen uptake increased across the intervention with no difference between groups, as was also observed for the mean power of the physical training sessions.

This study investigates the relationship between workload, leadership and turnover intention among personnel in the Taiwanese Army, with leadership as a mediator. The research subjects are personnel from the grassroots battalion units of the army, with a total of 415 valid responses collected. The collected data were statistically analyzed using descriptive analysis, reliability and validity analysis, discriminant validity analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and Sobel test to understand the associations between workload, leadership and turnover intention. The findings reveal that workload has a significant positive impact on turnover intention, while it has a significant negative impact on leadership. Leadership in turn, exhibits a significant negative impact on turnover intention, with partial mediating effects. The emphasis of this research lies in fostering open communication between supervisors and subordinates, fair task allocation, adequate support and the establishment of a positive work environment and atmosphere to mitigate turnover intention among personnel. Subsequent recommendations are proposed for relevant military authorities and scholars to consider.

The Royal College of General Practitioners and General Medical Council should look at this potential measure of daily stress and fatigue in the context of general practice. To maintain safety in the profession, jobs in general practice should be rated and doctors employed on the basis of hours of work and an additional measure of the daily number of patient contacts.

BackgroundThe loaded countermovement jump (CMJ) is a variation on the normal CMJ (bodyweight-only), used routinely in sport settings as a measure of neuromuscular fatigue (NMF). Although commonplace, the CMJ variables that are most sensitive to NMF remain somewhat unclear.PurposeThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between changes in workload and changes in the loaded CMJ; specifically, to determine its suitability for assessment of NMF.MethodsEighteen professional rugby union players performed loaded CMJ tests on seven occasions over the course of thirteen weeks, during an English top-flight season. Eight CMJ variables were measured, assessing different aspects of the CMJ. Workload was measured by GPS total distance and was the sum of the previous week’s data, recorded in on-field training and match-play. Spearman’s rank-order correlations were calculated to identify the relationship between changes in workload and changes in loaded CMJ variables.ResultsNo significant relationships were found between loaded CMJ variables and workload with no lag or workload lagged one week. Significant relationships were found between workload lagged 2 weeks and flight time/contact time (FT-CT; rs =-0.35; p =0.04) and time to peak power (TtPP; rs =0.35; p=0.05).ConclusionThis study suggests loaded CMJ is not a suitable test to monitor acute changes to NMF. However, results also indicate that FT-CT and TtPP, are associated with changes in workload lagged 2-weeks. Therefore, certain CMJ variables may prove useful to help prescribe alterations to athlete training plans following periods of heavy workload.
