A 24‑week, community-based multicomponent frailty intervention in rural Korea was associated with 6.5 additional months free from death or long‑term care eligibility and ~$7,700 per-person NHIS savings over 66 months, suggesting durable cli
A randomized trial in adults with moderate–severe cannabis use disorder found 12 weeks of supervised HIIT did not improve a composite MRI measure of hippocampal integrity versus strength/resistance training; exercise participation was feasi
A double-blind randomized trial (PISCES) found daily fish-oil (EPA+DHA) 4 g reduced serious cardiovascular events by 43% versus corn-oil placebo in patients on maintenance hemodialysis over 3.5 years.
In a prospective Beijing cohort (BLINDSCE), each additional hour of daily sedentary time was associated with a 1.18-point lower baseline intrinsic capacity and a 0.48-point greater decline over 1 year, suggesting sedentary behavior is a mod
A meta-analysis of 36 RCTs (n=2,500) found aerobic exercise significantly reduces depressive symptoms in people with chronic illness (Hedges’ g -0.73). A weekly dose of ≈405 MET‑min (≈120–135 min of moderate aerobic activity) reaches
A pooled prospective analysis of 18,935 hips found severe pincer morphology (LCEA ≥45°) was associated with a 1.5-fold higher odds of incident radiographic hip osteoarthritis within 8 years; moderate pincer (LCEA ≥40°) showed no overall ass
Compositional analysis of the PedCARE cohort suggests that an early period of relative rest combined with above-average light and moderate-to-vigorous activity over the first two weeks is associated with lower postconcussion symptom burden
A multicenter 2×2 factorial RCT in 266 critically ill adults shows that in‑ICU resistance training improves discharge physical function, muscle mass, patient‑reported outcomes, and lowers 6‑ and 12‑month mortality; HMB supplementation produ
Caffeine boosts sports performance but may impair sleep quality, especially when consumed later in the day. Individualized strategies balancing caffeine intake and sleep hygiene can optimize athlete performance and recovery.
A practical, evidence-focused synthesis of 73 international consensus statements and position stands (Delany et al., 2025). Key takeaways: individualise targets, protect health (EA ≥30 kcal/kg FFM/day), use gradual rates, prioritise protein
Hamstring injuries mainly occur during the late swing phase of running due to high eccentric forces and neural factors. Eccentric training reduces injury risk through complex muscle adaptations involving contractile, non-contractile, and ne
Exploring altered cardiopulmonary dynamics and exercise intolerance in adolescents post-sport-related concussion reveals attenuated cardiovascular responses independent of aerobic deconditioning, highlighting autonomic dysregulation as a ke
In 917 Boston Marathon registrants, higher habitual running volume and more quality sessions in the year preceding the race — paired with a relative reduction in training frequency in the last four months — were associated with faster race
This review synthesizes evidence from randomized controlled trials on environmental stress-based therapies—cold, heat, contrast, and hypoxia—for enhancing muscle recovery after exercise-induced muscle damage, emphasizing the importance of a
In a large UK Biobank cohort, higher circulating testosterone was associated with lower prevalent and incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in middle-aged and older women, while SHBG and estradiol showed no clear associations.
A Norwegian registry study reports that 63% of patients with primary ACL injury initially managed non‑operatively remained non‑operative at two years; younger age, participation in pivoting sports and baseline meniscal injury increased risk
A randomized trial shows that physical therapy and text message reminders do not significantly improve knee pain outcomes beyond a simple home exercise program in patients aged 45-85 with degenerative meniscal tears.
This economic evaluation from the CYCLE randomized trial found no significant cost or quality-adjusted life-year benefit by adding early in-bed cycling to usual physiotherapy for ICU patients on mechanical ventilation, underscoring a need f
Integrating tailored adherence support into exercise rehabilitation for vertebral fragility fractures significantly improves functional mobility and walking capacity compared to standard exercise alone at 12 months.
Obesity management in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is underutilized despite its cardiovascular benefits. This review explores the evidence, complexities, patient perspectives, and healthcare provider attitudes, emphasizing tailored strategie
