Studies assessing body mass and/or body composition and/or dietary intake were deemed eligible. The methodological quality was assessed using 'QualSyst'. Of the twelve selected articles evaluating body mass and/or body composition, one was of strong quality and eleven were rated as moderate. Ten articles evaluated dietary intake; four were rated as strong and the remaining moderate in quality. Continuation of training during Ramadan did not change body mass from before to the first week (trivial effect size (ES) = -0.011, p = 0.899) or from before to the fourth week of Ramadan (trivial ES = 0.069, p = 0.277). Additionally, Ramadan observance did not change body fat content from before to the first week (trivial ES = -0.005, p = 0.947) and from before to the fourth week of Ramadan (trivial ES = -0.057, p = 0.947). Lean body mass remained unchanged from before to the fourth week of Ramadan (trivial ES = -0.025, p = 0.876). Dietary data showed the intake of energy (small ES = -0.272, p = 0.182), fat (trivial ES = 0.044, p = 0.842), protein (trivial ES = 0.069, p = 0.720), carbohydrate (trivial ES = 0.075, p = 0.606) and water (trivial ES = -0.115, p = 0.624) remained essentially unchanged during as compared to before Ramadan. Continued training of adolescent athletes at least three times/week during Ramadan observance has no effect on body mass, body composition or dietary intake.}, language = {en} } @article{DuekingHolmbergSperlich2018, author = {D{\"u}king, Peter and Holmberg, Hans-Christer and Sperlich, Billy}, title = {The potential usefulness of virtual reality systems for athletes: a short SWOT analysis}, series = {Frontiers in Physiology}, volume = {9}, journal = {Frontiers in Physiology}, number = {128}, doi = {10.3389/fphys.2018.00128}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-176178}, year = {2018}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, language = {en} } @article{SperlichDuekingHolmberg2017, author = {Sperlich, Billy and D{\"u}king, Peter and Holmberg, Hans-Christer}, title = {A SWOT analysis of the use and potential misuse of implantable monitoring devices by athletes}, series = {Frontiers in Physiology}, volume = {8}, journal = {Frontiers in Physiology}, number = {629}, doi = {10.3389/fphys.2017.00629}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-158742}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Kein Abstract vorhanden.}, language = {en} } @article{SperlichHolmberg2017, author = {Sperlich, Billy and Holmberg, Hans-Christer}, title = {The responses of elite athletes to exercise: an all-day, 24-h integrative view is required!}, series = {Frontiers in Physiology}, volume = {8}, journal = {Frontiers in Physiology}, number = {564}, doi = {10.3389/fphys.2017.00564}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-158655}, year = {2017}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, language = {en} }
