The title page should include the manuscript title, brief running head, laboratory(s) where the research was conducted, authors’ full name(s) spelled out with middle initials, department(s), institution(s), full mailing address of corresponding author including telephone and fax numbers, and email address, and disclosure of funding received for this work from any of the organizations. Regarding authorship, each contributor should have played a role in at least two of the following areas: research concept and study design, literature review, data collection, data analysis and interpretation, statistical analyses, writing of the manuscript, or reviewing/editing a draft of the manuscript.
- Blind title page:
A second title page should be included that contains only the manuscript title. This will be used to send to the reviewers in our double blind process of review. Do not place identifying information in the Acknowledgment portion of the paper or anywhere else in the manuscript.
- Abstract and key words:
On a separate page, the manuscript must have an abstract with a limit of 250 words followed by 3-6 key words not used in the title. The abstract should have sentences (no headings) related to the purpose of the study, brief methods, results, conclusions and practical applications, and should include a statement denoting the level of significance set for the study (i.e. ρ ≤ 0.05).
- Text:
The text must contain the following sections with titles in ALL CAPS (i.e. Introduction, Methods, Findings, Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgments, and References) in this exact order:
A. Introduction. This section is a careful development of the hypotheses of the study leading to the clear purpose of the investigation. It should include the practical question that forms the basis of the study and how it may influence strength and conditioning practices. In most cases use no subheadings in this section and try to limit it to 4-6 concisely written paragraphs. The subject matter does not have to be exhaustively reviewed in this section.
B. Methods. Within the methods section, the following subheadings are required in the following order: ''Study design,'' where the author(s) show how their study design will be able to test the hypotheses developed in the introduction and give some basic rationales for the choices made for the independent and dependent variables used in the study; ''Subjects,'' where the authors include the Institutional Review Board or Ethics Committee approval of their project and appropriate informed consent has been gained. Eligibility criteria for subject selection should be included in the manuscript. Authors should include relative descriptive information such as age, height, body mass, and when appropriate the training status and training history of the subjects, e.g. years of training or sport experience. When appropriate, dietary controls and supervision should be described. All subject characteristics that are not dependent variables of the study should be included in this section and not in the Findings; ''Procedures,'' in this section the methods used are presented with the concept of ''replication of the study'' kept in mind. Authors should describe the research design used in the study. Training programs and testing methods used should be described in detail. Authors are strongly encouraged to include a Control group/condition when appropriate. If a Control group/condition is not used, authors must provide test-retest reliability coefficients of the measures used during protocols involving multiple testing periods. Test-retest reliability data should be generated from the authors' laboratory and not merely cited from literature obtained in other laboratories. Additionally, reviewers will look for experimental control for time of day, hydration, sleep and nutritional status. ''Statistical Analyses,'' here is where you clearly state your statistical approach to the analysis of the data set(s). It is important that you include your alpha level for significance (e.g., ρ ≤ 0.05). Please place your statistical power in the manuscript for the n size used and reliability of the dependent measures with intra-class correlations (ICC Rs). Additional subheadings can be used but should be limited. Authors should report effect sizes and confidence intervals when appropriate. Traditional statistical procedures must be used. The magnitude-based inference (MBI) approach may be used but only in conjunction with traditional methods.
C. Findings. Present the results of your study in this section. Put the most important findings in Figure or Table format and less important findings in the text. Do not include data that is not part of the experimental design or that has been published before. Authors should not replicate data present in the text in tables or figures.
D. Discussion. Discuss the meaning of the results of your study in this section. Relate them to the literature that currently exists and make sure you bring the paper to completion with each of your hypotheses. Authors should emphasize the new and unique findings of the study. Conclusions should be supported by the data presented. Limit obvious statements like, ‘‘more research is needed.’’
E. Conclusion. In this section, tell the readers how your data can be applied and used. It should reflect the answer to the question posed in the Introduction. This section should be limited to 350 words or less.
- References:
All references must be alphabetized by surname of first author and numbered. References are cited in the text by numbers [e.g., (4,9)]. All references listed must be cited in the manuscript and referred to by number therein. For original investigations, please limit the number of references to fewer than 45 or explain why more are necessary. The Editorial Office reserves the right to ask authors to reduce the number of references in the manuscript. It is acceptable to cite a published Research Abstract only if it is a sole source of information in that specific scientific area. PASE forbids the citation of manuscripts published on preprint servers. For journal entries with 6 or more co-authors, please list the first 3 names followed by "et al." When citing chapters within an edited textbook, authors must specifically cite the chapter author names (not the editors). Authors must also include the chapter name and page range for all book references. Please check references carefully for accuracy. Changes to references at the proof stage, especially changes affecting the numerical order in which they appear, will result in author revision fees. It is recommended that authors update the final reference list by either manually checking each reference to ensure proper formatting or updating their End Note software. To update the software, End Note users may edit "Output Styles" for PASE and save the changes. Users may click "Citations" and "Author Lists" to edit "Author Separators" "and "Abbreviated Author List". This will allow users to remove the term "and" and use "et al." for referencing.

Online Manuscript Submision and Review Process:
The Performance in Sport and Exercise (PASE) is the official journal of Ankara University Performance Analysis in Sports Application and Research Center (ASPAM). The PASE is published biannually in English. PASE publishes original investigations, systematic, and narrative reviews and meta-analyses, symposia, research notes, and technical and methodological reports contributing to the knowledge about in sport sciences. All editorial decisions are final and will be based on the quality, clarity, style, rank, and importance of the submission relative to the goals and objectives of the ASPAM and the Journal.
PASE editors will administratively reject a paper before review if it is deemed to have very low impact on practice, out of scope of the journal, poor experimental design, improperly formatted, and/or poorly written. Additionally, upon any revision the manuscript can be rejected if experimental issues and impact are not adequately addressed to reviewers, field editor, or Editor-in-Chief's satisfaction. The formatting of the manuscript is of great importance and manuscripts will be rejected if not properly formatted.
- Editorial mission statement:
A unique aspect of this journal is the inclusion of recommendations for the practical use of research findings. This journal wishes to promote the publication that add to our understanding through exercise and sport science. The exercise and sport science impact a wide range of populations from children to older adults, from youth sport to professional athletes. Understanding the conditioning process and how other practices such as such as nutrition, technology, exercise techniques, and biomechanics support it is important for the practitioner to know.
- Original research:
PASE publishes research on the effects of training programs on physical performance and function to the underlying biological basis for exercise performance as well as research from a number of disciplines attempting to gain insights about sport, sport demands, sport profiles, conditioning, and exercise such as biomechanics, exercise physiology, motor learning, nutrition, and psychology. A primary goal of PASE is to provide an improved scientific basis for conditioning practices. PASE will only consider original manuscripts not currently under consideration from other journals. PASE will not consider any manuscripts previously published on preprint servers or resubmitted manuscripts previously rejected by PASE.
- Artical types:
PASE publishes original investigations, symposia, brief systematic, and narrative reviews and meta-analyses, technical reports and research notes that are related to the journal's mission. A symposium is a group of articles by different authors that address an issue from various perspectives. The reviews and meta-analyses should provide a critical examination of the literature and integrate the results of previous research in an attempt to educate the reader as to the basic and applied aspects of the topic. There is no word limit to the reviews. However, appropriate length will be determined by field editors and reviewers during the review process. We are especially interested in applied aspects of the reviewed literature. In addition, the author(s) should have experience and research background in the topic area they are writing about in order to claim expertise in this area of study and give credibility to their recommendations. A research note is a brief research study (about 1500-2000 words) that typically consists of a simple research design and only few dependent variables. It is formatted identical to an original study with the same features, i.e. Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Findings, Discussion, Conclusion and References, but with limited tables, figures, and reference numbers.
The PASE strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts detailing methodologies that help to advance the study and improve sport sciences.
- Manuscript clarifications:
Manuscript Clarifications will be considered and will only be published online if accepted. Not all requests for manuscript clarifications will be published due to costs or content importance. Each will be reviewed by a specific sub-committee of editors to determine if it merits publication. A written review with needed revisions will be provided if it merits consideration. Manuscript Clarifications are limited to 400 words and should only pose professional questions to the authors and not editorial comments. If accepted, a copy will be sent to the author of the original article with an invitation to submit answers to the questions in the same manner again with a 400 word limit. It will be reviewed by the sub-committee and revisions requested if needed before it is published. Only one round of correspondence between the research group initiating the Manuscript Clarification and the authors of the investigation in question will be permitted.
