Background and Objectives: Aging is a biological and irreversible process characterized by physiological alterations resulting in a progressive decline in biological functions, decreased resistance or adaptability to stress, and increased disease sus...
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition associated with reduced quality of life, psychological symptoms, cognitive impairment, and low adherence to exercise-based interventions. Immersive virtual reality (IVR) has gained attention as a rehabilitatio...
The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is a multi-event assessment battery designed to determine the combat readiness of U.S. Army personnel. However, for Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs the logistical demands of collegiate life m...
E-rehabilitation is the term used to define medical rehabilitation programs that are implemented at home with the use of information and communication technologies. The aim was to test whether sensor position and the sitting position of the patient i...
Cancer survivors (CS) constitute an expanding population with underrecognized cardiometabolic risk. Despite substantial improvements in five-year survival rates, both childhood and adult survivors remain at high risk for premature morbidity and morta...
Objectives: While Pilates exercise is commonly prescribed for chronic low back pain (CLBP), its effect on normalizing the lumbar flexion–relaxation ratio (FRR) remains unclear. This trial examined whether an 8-week Pilates exercise program (PEP...

The study of cognitive change across a life span, both in pathological and healthy samples, has been heavily influenced by developments in cognitive psychology as a theoretical paradigm, neuropsychology and other bio-medical fields; this alongside th...
In recent years, the use of inertial-based systems has been applied to remote rehabilitation, opening new perspectives for outpatient assessment. In this study, we assessed the accuracy and the concurrent validity of the angular measurements provided...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate two different intervention programs applied during a 4-week pre-season period. Twenty-nine players participated in this study and were divided into two groups. One group (BallTrain, n = 12, age: 17.8 &plus...
The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of a progressive submaximal cycling exercise on selected cardiorespiratory and metabolic variables in endurance and strength trained athletes. The sample comprised 32 participants aged 22.0 &...
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often leads to cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), a severe complication affecting cardiovascular health. Exercise training is a proven intervention for improving metabolic control and cardiovascular health...
Background/Objectives: A persistent challenge in adolescent health promotion is insufficient exercise intensity during physical education (PE) lessons, limiting their potential to reduce cardiometabolic risk. National curricula further restrict teach...
With sensors becoming increasingly ubiquitous, there is tremendous potential for Internet of Things (IoT) services that can take advantage of the data collected by these sensors. Although there are a growing number of technologies focused on IoT serv...
Resistance training (RT) is commonly used to enhance neuromuscular performance and sprint swimming outcomes. However, the optimal relative load for elite junior swimmers remains unclear. In particular, little is known about whether very low relative...
Hypertension is a common chronic medical condition. Treatment is not satisfactory in a significant proportion of patients with primary hypertension, despite the concurrent use of three or more medications with different mechanisms of action. Such tre...

Background: Obesity presents multifarious etiopathologies with its management being a global challenge. This article presents the first ever report on the impact of spinach thylakoid extract-induced high-intensity functional training (HIFT) on obesit...
Background/Objectives: Programs combining resistance training with a concurrent cognitive demand are often presented as superior to resistance training alone, although the contribution of the cognitive component has never been quantified. This review...

Despite the benefits of multicomponent physical–cognitive training programs (MCCogTPs), lower training intensities in the concurrent approach, and bigger heterogeneity with aging, suggest the need for long-term analyses, with special attention...
With expanding kidney transplantation programs, remaining hemodialysis patients are more likely to have a high comorbidity burden and may therefore be more prone to lose muscle mass. Our aim was to analyze risk factors for muscle loss in hemodialysis...

Sarcopenic obesity (SO), characterized by age-related muscle loss and excess body fat, significantly impairs postural control. However, limited research has explored the effects of concurrent exercise training on neuromuscular strategies during postu...
This study examined the effects of a short-term ballistic training program on neuromuscular performance and strength-deficit (SDef) in elite youth female soccer players. Twenty-two under-20 athletes completed a 4-week intervention during the pre-seas...
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a major public health concern among postmenopausal women, characterized by decreased bone mineral density and microarchitectural deterioration, which lead to fragility fractures, pain, functional impairment, sleep distur...
