: Accurate hiking time estimate is crucial for outdoor activity planning, especially in mountainous terrains. Traditional mountain signage and online platforms provide generalized hiking time recommendations, often lacking personalization. This study aims to evaluate the variability in hiking time estimates from different methods and assess the potential of a novel algorithm, MOVE, to enhance accuracy and safety.

The physiological adaptations required at HA and their implications on individuals with CHD, especially during exercise, remain underexplored. This systematic review aims to investigate cardiopulmonary exercise responses to short-term HA exposure in individuals with CHD.

- * KTRs underwent assessments for body composition, health markers, and quality of life at multiple points, with adherence to exercise monitored through video calls and wearables.
- * Although body composition and kidney function didn't change, KTRs showed improved lipid profiles, blood pressure, fitness, and quality of life, with both monitoring methods effectively maintaining exercise adherence.
Objective: To investigate the reproducibility of ambulatory BP sub-periods and nocturnal dipping phenotypes assessed twice 3 months apart in young-to-middle-age untreated individuals screened for stage 1 hypertension.
Design And Methods: We investigated 1096, 18-to-45-year old participants from the HARVEST. Their office BP was 145.
Background: Sport climbing is becoming incredibly popular both in the general population and among athletes. No consensus exists regarding evidence-based sport-specific performance evaluation; therefore, this systematic review is aimed at analyzing determinants of sport climbing performance and evaluation methods by comparing climbers of different levels.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched up to December 20, 2022.
