Article Synopsis
- Medical students often feel really stressed, anxious, and depressed, so researchers wanted to see if yoga could help them.
- A group of 28 medical students at the University of Pécs practiced yoga for 10 weeks, and they measured their stress, anxiety, and depression levels before and after.
- After doing yoga, the students showed a big decrease in their depression and anxiety levels, showing that yoga can really help with stress!
Background: The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) is a relatively new manual therapy approach in the field of musculoskeletal physical therapy, and its potential effectiveness in treating chronic ankle instability (CAI) remains unexplored.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial with 23 participants was conducted. Patients were randomly assigned to either the FDM + balance-strength training (BST) group ( = 8), receiving extra FDM sessions weekly in addition to two sessions of BST, or the BST group ( = 7).
Pain continues to be a significant problem for cancer patients, and the impact of a population-based strategy on their experiences is not completely understood. Our study aimed to determine the impact of palliative care on mitigating pain and its associated effects in determining the quality of life (QoL) among colon cancer outpatients. Six collection databases were used to perform a structured systematic review of the available literature, considering all papers published between the year 2000 and February 2023.

For monitoring PA, trustworthy measurement tools are needed. The study aimed to adapt the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) to the Hungarian language and assess its validity, reliability, and factor structure.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: It is well known that physical activity (PA) has health benefits. This study aimed to examine physical activity carried out by the senior (over 50) participants and its relation to their quality of life (QoL).
Methods: Surveillance of PA and QoL was measured by using questionnaires (GPAQ, WHOQoL-BREF) in this study.
Background: To ensure accurate measurement of the health benefits of habitual physical activity in large sample epidemiological studies, physical activity questionnaires (PAQs) are the most feasible methods. Therefore, the purpose of this study was the validation and cultural adaptation to the Hungarian population of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-HL).
Methods: A cross-sectional study among Hungarian healthy adults (age 21.
Introduction: Several studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of heart disease can be accounted for between 0.4 and 2% in developed countries.
Aim: The present study aimed to use the PA% of the telemetry data to estimate the 6-minute walk test result.
Introduction: The effect of regular physical activity on health is widely recognized, but several studies have shown its key importance for heart patients.
Aim: The present study aimed to define the PA % values, and to convert them into metabolic equivalent values (MET), which describes oxygen consumption during physical activity.
Method: A total of seventeen patients with heart disease; 3 females and 14 males; age: 57.
