Importance of Water and Its Effects on During and After Exercise of Both Athletes and Coaches
Background: Athletes and trainers participating in intense activity or sports training, water is an important nutrient that is vital to preserving physiological equilibrium. Maintaining enough hydration promotes peak performance, avoids consequences from dehydration, and facilitates recuperation. On the other hand, dehydration can result in exhaustion, decreased stamina, and a higher chance of accidents. Aims: The purpose of this study is to investigate the significance of water as a necessary nutrient for athletes and trainers, emphasizing its impact on endurance, performance, and recovery after exercise. Methodology: This study examines the effects of various pre-exercise hydration techniques on athletic performance and recovery after high-intensity training (HIT) using an experimental, randomized controlled trial conducted at different universities in Faisalabad, involving a sample of (n=30) athletes and trainers. Participants were selected with a minimum of three months of continuous High-intensity Training experience, no prior history of metabolic or cardiovascular diseases, and a baseline hydration condition within normal ranges (urine specific gravity < 1.040) are requirements for inclusion. (n=30) male athletes between the age of 18 to 28 M± SD (2.05±1.076). One of three pre-exercise hydration groups water, electrolyte solution, or sports drink will be given at random to each participant. Standardized hydration methods will provide uniformity among participants. Results: Statistical analyses were performed using paired sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA, multiple regression, and correlation tests. The paired sample t-test results indicated a significant level (p < 0.05). According to the study, adequate hydration improves cardiovascular efficiency, muscular function, and thermoregulation, all of which contribute to better sports performance. Reduced cognitive function, cramping in the muscles, heat-related diseases, and a longer recovery period were all linked to dehydration. It has been shown that maintaining electrolyte balance, minimizing muscular discomfort, and speeding up recovery all depend on post-exercise hydration. Conclusion: An essential nutrient that has a big influence on sports performance and recuperation is water. Prioritizing hydration techniques is essential for athletes and trainers to maximize performance, reduce the danger of dehydration, and improve recovery after training. Sports training programs should include instruction on proper hydration and customized fluid consumption recommendations.

Gender Dynamics in Coach-Athlete Relationships and Their Impact on Sports Performance
Motivation, psychological health, and athletic performance are all significantly influenced by the coach-athlete interaction. Athlete development and training efficacy can be strongly impacted by gender dynamics in this connection, which are influenced by power dynamics, communication styles, and cultural norms. The complex effects of gendered coach-athlete relationships on performance are still not well understood, despite growing awareness of gender concerns in sport. The purpose of this study is to investigate how gender dynamics between coaches and players impact communication effectiveness, performance outcomes, and the general quality of the coach-athlete relationship. In particular, it looks into mixed-gender and same-gender pairs in a variety of sports. A mixed-methods strategy was used. Using standardized questionnaires measuring relationship quality (Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire), perceived gender bias, and self-reported performance indicators, quantitative data were gathered from 320 competitive athletes (160 males and 160 females) and 30 coaches. Semi-structured interviews with 15 athlete-coach pairs—purposively picked to represent a range of gender combinations—were used to gather qualitative observations. Regression analysis for quantitative variables and thematic coding for qualitative answers were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that same-gender coach-athlete pairings experienced greater communication alignment and relationship trust, both of which were positively connected with perceived gains in performance. Reduced motivation and worse performance self-ratings were linked to mixed-gender couples, especially female athletes with male coaches, who reported more cases of emotional discomfort, perceived gender prejudice, and communication breakdown. However, in mixed-gender partnerships, good emotional intelligence and respect for one another frequently lessen unfavorable impacts. The results indicate that relational quality and performance may be impacted by gender alignment; however, this effect is mitigated by corporate culture and individual interpersonal abilities. Regardless of gender pairing, coaches who received training in inclusive communication and gender awareness were more effective in creating enduring connections. The study emphasizes how gendered communication patterns and unconscious prejudice must be addressed in coach education programs. Performance results are significantly shaped by gender dynamics in coach-athlete relationships. The creation of inclusive and sympathetic coaching techniques is crucial to maximize performance in all gender pairs, even if same-gender pairings frequently promote more seamless interactions. This study promotes training and policy changes that take gender dynamics into account to create fair and productive sports settings.

Investigating the Investment of Coaches, Parents, and Administrators in the Production of Quality Players throughout Career Lifespans
Background: The development of high-quality athletes involves a coordinated effort from coaches, parents, and administrators. Long-term performance is greatly influenced by their commitment in a players’ commitment, which includes funding, coaching, training, and resource distribution. The scope and efficacy of these contributions are still not well understood, though. Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate how administrators, coaches, and parents can support the growth of talented athletes throughout their careers. In particular, it looks into how they get involved, how much money they spend, and how it affects athletes’ lifespan and performance. Methodology: Both quantitative and qualitative data were incorporated into the mixed-methods approach. Athletes, coaches, parents, and sports administrators from a range of competitive levels participated in surveys and organized interviews. Statistical analysis was employed to analyze relationships between investment parameters and player outcomes, while theme analysis gave insights into personal experiences and problems. Result: The findings show that regular and balanced assistance from all three parties greatly improves player development, with administrative support, systematic coaching, and parental emotional support serving as important success factors. Disparities in investment, however, frequently impede the best possible player development. These factors include a lack of coaching experience, administrative inefficiencies, and budgetary limitations. Discussion: These results highlighted the need for a cooperative structure that guarantees athletes equitable and long-term assistance. The research emphasizes the value of organized mentoring programs, athlete development education for parents, and changes to sports organizations’ policies. Conclusion: The study highlights how crucial it is for coaches, parents, and administrators to work together to develop and retain top-tier athletes. In professional sports, addressing current support system inadequacies can improve athlete performance, career length, and overall success.

ادھوری پرواز: مغرب کا ایجنڈا سیٹنگ اور پاکستانی قوم کا المیہ: Adhoori Parwaaz: Western Agenda-Setting and the Tragedy of the Pakistani Nation
The concept of agenda-setting posits that media plays a crucial role in shaping public perception by prioritizing specific narratives and influencing the collective stance. This phenomenon has gained significant attention, particularly in the post-9/11 era, where it has been used as a tool to advance particular agendas in developed nations. Through broad and complex frameworks, media channels have steered public discourse and guided societal priorities. In the 21st century, the agenda-setting theory has increasingly been applied to the Muslim world, affecting critical areas such as politics, economics, sociology, and cultural identity. This manipulation of media narratives has often led to adverse outcomes, a theme explored in Syed Hassnain Haider's novel, dedicated to the countless innocent lives lost in the so-called war on terror.
Haider's novel, Adhori Parwaaz, offers a profound critique of post-9/11 media strategies that have perpetuated misunderstandings and hostility, particularly towards Muslims residing in America. The novel sheds light on the fabricated narratives used to justify unjust treatment and vilification of this community. By dissecting these constructed conflicts, the author underscores how the media has contributed to the widening chasm of mistrust between the West and the Muslim world. The novel ultimately calls for the promotion of truth, peace, and human solidarity, while challenging the political forces that exploit hatred for their own interests.
