This study evaluated the validity and test-retest reliability of a resistance training device Jueying (Beijing, China) for Smith machine back squat exercise. Twelve male participants completed two test sessions with an interval of one week. In each test session, participants completed 30%, 45%, 60%, and 75% of 1RM back squats on a Smith machine equipped with Jueying and a linear position transducer GymAware (Canberra, Australia), which measured the velocity and power during the movement simultaneously.

- Few studies have examined the heavy metal accumulation in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), specifically investigating lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and copper in traditional animal medicines.
- The research introduced a comprehensive health risk assessment approach that evaluates the bioaccessible levels of these heavy metals, calculating metrics like target hazard quotient (THQ), target hazard index (THI), and cancer risk (CR).
- Findings indicated that mercury had the lowest bioaccessibility, and overall, traditional animal medicines appear to pose a minimal health risk to the general community, with cancer risk levels for arsenic and lead remaining below accepted clinical thresholds.
