Remote, online geriatric assessment (GA) is gaining attention in oncology. Most GA domains can be assessed remotely. However, there is limited evidence identifying reliable tools that can be used in l...
Data were prospectively collected from older adults with cancer of any type and stage who underwent GA in the geriatric oncology clinic of a tertiary cancer centre. Following GA, patients were asked t...
Eighty (n = 80) older adults (mean age: 80 years) with cancer completed the SARC-F. A positive SARC-F was found in 31.3% of the cohort. Moderate correlations were found between the SPPB per point and ...
SARC-F exhibited promising performance in identifying low grip strength per FNIH and low SPPB combined. To definitively assess the performance of the SARC-F in detecting low grip strength and SPPB, la...
Effects of a multicomponent exercise programme have an impact on the physical, cognitive, and psychological domains in elderly community-dwellers. However, some individuals aged 65 years or more have ...
Participants were recruited from the general public in 20 areas of Akita Prefecture, Japan, and they took part in each exercise programme for 90 min a day, once every 2 weeks, for 3 months, according ...
The final samples for analysis consisted of 31 participants in the control group and 30 participants in the intervention group. The results of the statistical analysis comparing the two groups showed ...
The results of our quasi-experimental study indicated that the multicomponent programme based on the ROT would be as effective as the original multicomponent programme combined with aerobic exercise a...
The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of plyometric training direction on jumping, sprinting, and change-of-direction ability in basketball players....
Forty male basketball players (21.8 [3.8] y), from 4 teams that competed in regional and national championships, were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups: (1) vertical jump group, (2) horizontal jump g...
The vertical and horizontal jump group showed significant increases in all performance variables examined, except for linear sprint performance, in which no group improved. The vertical jump group sho...
These results indicate that combining vertical and horizontal jumps induces improvements in more capabilities than does training only vertical or horizontal jumps with the same training volume. Traini...

The strength model of self-control purports to explain why brief cognitive response inhibition tasks impair subsequent isometric handgrip endurance. According to the model, ego depleting tasks requiri...
Validated tools to evaluate physical performance remotely with real-time supervision are lacking. We assessed test−retest and inter-rater reliability, as well as the feasibility of carrying out the fi...
To compare the effects of variable-resistance complex training (VRCT) versus traditional complex training (TCT) on strength, power, speed, and leg stiffness (Kleg) in rugby league players during a 6-w...
Twenty-four rugby league players competing in the British University and Colleges Sport Premier North Division were randomized to VRCT (n = 8), TCT (n = 8), or control (CON; n = 8). Experimental group...
VRCT and TCT significantly improved 1RM back squat, countermovement jump peak power, and 5-m sprint time (all P < .05). VRCT also improved Kleg, whereas TCT improved 10- and 20-m sprint times (all P <...
VRCT and TCT can be implemented during the competitive season to improve strength, power, and 5-m sprint time. VRCT may lead to greater improvements in reactive strength index and Kleg, whereas TCT ma...
Maintaining the physical performance of cancer patients is increasingly considered due to the growing number of cancer patients and the aggressiveness of the treatments. For this reason, bioimpedance ...
Levothyroxine is commonly used to treat hypothyroidism. This study investigates how far the intake of L-T4 influences body composition, energy expenditure, respiratory quotient as well as strength, en...
This study aimed to carry out a systematic review to analyze, describe and discuss the effect of physical fatigue on the performance of soccer players. For this systematic review, searches were perfor...
