Effects of a progressive aquatic resistance exercise program on the biomechanical composition and morphology of cartilage in women with mild knee osteoarthritis: protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background.
Symptoms associated with osteoarthritis of the knee result in decreased function, loss of working capacity and extensive social and medical costs. There is a need to investigate and develop effective ...
Improving a measure of mobility-related fatigue (the mobility-tiredness scale) be establishing item intensity
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
Objectives
To improve the construct validity of self‐reported fatigue by establishing a formal hierarchy of scale items and to determine whether such a hierarchy could be maintained across time (aged 75–80), sex, and ...
Aerodynamics of an isolated ski jumping ski
(Springer UK, 2019)
A single isolated ski was suspended from a six-component wind tunnel balance and three angles, the angle of attack, the yaw angle and the edge angle were adjustable during the test. Increasing yaw angle from 0 to 15° ...
MOBIlity assessment with modern TEChnology in older patients’ real-life by the General Practitioner : the MOBITEC-GP study protocol
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2019)
Background
Mobility limitations in older adults are associated with poor clinical outcomes including higher mortality and disability rates. A decline in mobility (including physical function and life-space) is detectable ...
Objectively measured physical activity in Finnish employees: a cross-sectional study
(BMJ Group, 2014)
Objectives: To objectively measure the amount of intensity-specific physical activity by gender and age with respect to body mass index (BMI) during workdays and days off among Finnish employees.
Design: A cross-sectional ...
Knee arthroplasty until age 60 : role of sports and other injuries
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2019)
BACKROUND: The primary aim of the study was to investigate how total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients with underlying injuries differ in injury type and physical activity after the arthroplasty.
METHODS: A questionnaire ...
Student intention to engage in leisure-time physical activity : The interplay of task-involving climate, competence need satisfaction and psychobiosocial states in physical education
(Sage, 2019)
Grounded in achievement goal theory and basic psychological needs theory, the aim of this study was to examine the impact of the interaction of perceived motivational climate in physical education with psychological needs ...
Plasma polyunsaturated fatty acids are directly associated with cognition in overweight children but not in normal weight children
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd.; Foundation Acta Paediatrica, 2016)
Aim
Polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential nutrients for the normal development of the brain. We investigated the associations between plasma polyunsaturated fatty acids and cognition in normal weight and overweight ...
Muscle and serum metabolomes are dysregulated in colon-26 tumor-bearing mice despite amelioration of cachexia with activin receptor type 2B ligand blockade
(American Physiological Society, 2019)
Cancer-associated cachexia reduces survival, which has been attenuated by blocking the activin receptor type 2B (ACVR2B) ligands in mice. The purpose of this study was to unravel the underlying physiology and novel cachexia ...
Genome-wide association analysis identifies six new loci associated with forced vital capacity
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
Forced vital capacity (FVC), a spirometric measure of pulmonary function, reflects lung volume and is used to diagnose and monitor lung diseases. We performed genome-wide association study meta-analysis of FVC in 52,253 ...
