Comparing activity of the gluteus maximus and hamstring muscles in fatigue conditions between hamstring injury-experienced and inexperienced individuals.

Introduction: Muscle fatigue is considered a risk factor for hamstring injury (HSI), which occurs during high-speed running. To decrease this risk, higher gluteal muscle activity may have a role to play. This study aimed to compare the muscle activities of the gluteus maximus (GMax) and hamstring (HS) muscles between HSI-experienced and inexperienced people in pre- and post-fatigue conditions during the swing and stance phases of running.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia to treat major depressive disorder with comorbid insomnia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has demonstrated efficacy for both insomnia and depression. With a tenfold increase in expected participant numbers, we aimed to update the systematic review and meta-analysis of CBT-I for major depressive disorders (MDD).

Methods: Multiple databases were searched up to March 27th 2024 to include all randomized controlled trials examining CBT-I among adults with MDD.

Cultural Adaptation of the Actionable Health App Evaluation in Japan: Protocol for a Web-Based Modified Delphi Expert Consensus Study.

Background: With an increase in both the number of mental health disorders people are experiencing and the difficulty in accessing mental health care, the demand for accessible mental health care services has increased. The use of mobile devices has allowed people to receive care in their daily lives without restrictions on time or location. However, the majority of publicly available mobile health apps are not evidence-based, and the top-rated apps are not always safe or user-friendly and may not offer clinically beneficial results.

Development of the Parenting Behavior Checklist to Promote Preschoolers' Sleep (PCPP).

Objectives: To develop the Parenting Behavior Checklist to Promote Preschoolers' sleep (PCPP), quantify sleep-promoting parenting behaviors for children, and examine the scale's reliability and validity.

Methods: The PCPP was developed based on the recommendations of the ABCs of SLEEPING for children's sleep, which is strongly supported by research evidence. Its validity and reliability were evaluated using data from 140 participants.

Randomised controlled trial of cultural-adapted and programme-adopted cognitive behavioural therapy for children and adolescents' anxiety in Japan: protocol for a Multi-, Inter-, and Cross-cultural Clinical Child Study (MIXCS).

Introduction: The primary objective of the Multi-, Inter-, and Cross-cultural Clinical Child Study (MIXCS) is to evaluate the hypothesis that the effects of cultural-adapted cognitive behavioural therapy (CA-CBT) and programme-adopted cognitive behavioural therapy (PA-CBT) for children and adolescents' anxiety are both superior to a psychological control (moral education control: MEC) for reducing child and adolescent anxiety disorders and symptoms as well as related constructs. The secondary objective is to explore commonalities and differences in therapy factors between CA-CBT and PA-CBT.

Method And Analysis: The study has been designed as a randomised, controlled and assessor masked multicentre superiority trial with three groups: CA-CBT, PA-CBT and MEC.
