Objectives Accelerometers are widely applied in health studies, but lack of standardisation regarding device placement, sampling and data processing hampers comparability between studies. The ...

Background Assessment of recovery from mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is complex and challenging. Post-exertion testing, where individuals undergo objective testing following physical exercise, ...

Background/Objective Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and local positioning systems (LPS) are to date common tools to measure external training load in athletes. The aim of this scoping ...

Objectives To evaluate the interexaminer reliability of abdominal palpation and resistance tests in athletes with longstanding groin pain, and to identify the prevalence of positive clinical tests in ...

Injury prevention in sports remains a perpetual challenge, frequently hindered by linear approaches that fail to account for the complexity of real-world scenarios. We propose a paradigm shift in this ...

Background Medical screening and load monitoring procedures are commonly used in professional football to assess factors perceived to be associated with injury. Objectives To identify prognostic ...

Background Digital interventions have the potential to increase physical activity in adults with the use of few resources, but evidence of long-term effectiveness is limited. This study aimed to ...

Aims To explore: (1) whether during exercise metabolic equivalents (METs) appropriately indicate the intensity and/or metabolic cost for post-myocardial infarction (MI) males and (2) whether ...

In diverse sports, warm-up (WUP) and cool-down (CD) activities are highly effective at improving performance-relevant factors and reducing the risk of injury when applied systematically; however, ...

Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom of Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS), affecting up to 70% of patients, with limited effective therapeutic options available. The FESSONA trial will evaluate the ...

Objective To explore (1) the risk of injury according to the number of previous injuries, and (2) the risk of progression of the athletes’ health status according to the impact on athletics ...

Background The development of accurate methods to measure health-behaviours forms an integral component in behavioural epidemiology. Population surveillance of physical activity often relies on ...
