Dual-task resistance training improves strength and reduces pain more than resistance exercise alone in elbow fracture rehabilitation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Arch Phys Med Rehabil
January 2025
Objective: To examine the effects on strength, pain intensity, range of motion (ROM), and functionality of a 12-week dual-task resistance exercise program in patients undergoing rehabilitation from elbow fractures.
Design: Randomized Controlled Trial SETTING: Rehabilitation hospital.
Participants: Individuals undergoing elbow fracture rehabilitation.
The combination of moderate to vigorous physical activity with muscle-strengthening physical activity is increasingly recognized for its significant impact on cardiovascular health. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence to compare the cardiovascular benefits of combined physical activity versus singular forms, especially in primary prevention. The main focus is on hormonal, nervous, genetic, and molecular adaptations, critical mechanisms underlying the body's response to physical activity.

Methods: There were 16 volunteers per group (CAI and No-CAI). The sEMG amplitude at each compartment (anterior and posterior) and the barycenter of the spatial sEMG amplitude distribution of the fibularis longus were recorded during eversion in neutral and plantar flexion positions at 30% and 70% of maximum voluntary contraction force, both with and without visual feedback on the spatial sEMG amplitude distribution.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic using the Life's Essential 8 domains.
- It analyzed 62 studies involving over 1.5 million participants from 42 countries, focusing on factors like diet, physical activity, and obesity.
- The findings reveal significant prevalence rates of poor diet (26.69%), inadequate physical activity (70.81%), and other health issues, indicating a need for early prevention strategies to improve cardiovascular health.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze trends in how well US adults with obesity followed physical activity guidelines over two decades, from 1997 to 2018, using data from the National Health Interview Survey.
- The percentage of adults meeting the World Health Organization's recommendations for physical activity increased from 9.4% in 1997 to 15.0% in 2018, but still less than 20% adhered to the guidelines.
- Males with obesity were more likely to meet the guidelines than females, and older adults had lower odds of adhering, while Black and other racial minorities had higher odds compared to White adults with obesity.
