Abstract Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a key indicator of well-being among university students, who are often exposed to stress and unhealthy lifestyles. Students enrolled in nursing programs repre...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to develop a physical fitness pedagogy model (PFPM) based on the Sport Education Model (SEM) framework to evaluate whether participation in the SEM-based PFPM was associated with impro...

To assess the effects of a wearable-sensor-assisted multicomponent exercise program on physical fitness, cognition and quality of life in a practical setting involving frail older adults.

Background: The use of smartphone applications (SA) before deep learning (DL) is currently showing an increase in popularity in the context of physical education (PE) teaching, but the effects smartphone applications wit...

Abstract Background The holistic health of children, encompassing physical, psychological, and social domains, plays a crucial role in long-term societal development. However, evidence suggests that many young people eng...

Abstract Evidence suggests that open-skill team sports, such as basketball, may favor the development of executive functions in childhood. This pilot study compared pre-to-post changes in verbal fluency, anthropometric p...

Depression and burnout are linked to a higher risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Physical activity has the potential to enhance prognosis of cardiovascular diseases and improve depression and burnout sy...

Abstract Background It has been well-documented that the COVID-19 pandemic and implemented policies disrupted physical activity and negatively affected physical fitness. It remains, however, unclear whether such effects ...

Physical activity (PA) levels in young people with cerebral palsy (YPwCP) remain consistently low. Previous research suggests that fitness parameters such as muscular strength and cardiovascular capacity are interrelated...

Background and Study Aim. Speed-strength fitness and body dimensions are components of athletic performance in combat sports. The interaction between speed-strength fitness parameters and anthropometric characteristics i...

Background. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide. Advances in oncologic therapy have markedly improved survival, yet chemotherapy and other treatments produce adverse effects such ...

Objective To compare the effects of eccentric cycling (ECC), concentric cycling (CON), and standard care (CTL) on cardiopulmonary capacity, respiratory health, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic kidney di...

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) are both key parameters of intrinsic capacity. To date, the impact of adherence to physical activity guidelines by older adults on these facets is poorly und...

BackgroundPhysical health is the basic indicator to evaluate the health of drug addicts after the process of drug rehabilitation. In order to better improve the deficiency degree of physical health of drug addicts, it is...

Abstract Urological cancer (UC) is associated with significant adverse outcomes and poses a major global health burden. Although physical activity (PA) may reduce the risk of a single cancer site of UC through multiple p...

Slovenia is a pioneer in the systematic monitoring of physical fitness in children and adolescents. In 1969, a national system for monitoring physical and somatic development, called the Sports Educational Chart, was dev...

Objective To investigate whether achieving minimum clinically important difference in anxiety and depression is associated with meeting minimum clinically important difference in walking fitness following cardiac rehabil...

Abstract Background Prior studies show significant increases in cardiorespiratory fitness (V̇O2max) and other health-related outcomes in response to reduced exertion high-intensity interval training (REHIT), yet these s...

To determine whether providing a choice between high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) within a 4-week diabetes prevention program may lead to greater perceived autonomy...

Background: The lack of standardised rules and safety measures in traditional games limits their utility for structured physical activity and fitness promotion. In particular, the traditional Singkongan game, which invol...

Organisms, including humans, would have disproportionately descended from ancestors who, over generations, captured fitness benefits and are therefore expected to be well-designed to procure those benefits. When individu...

Despite decades of global attention, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) remain a significant challenge, with substantial personal and societal costs (1). The lack of progress in addressing this prevalent proble...

Background and Study Aim. Physical inactivity during young adulthood is associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness and elevated resting heart rate. Both are predictors of long-term cardiovascular risk. The present...
