The objectives of this study were to report weight-normalized, sex- and sport-stratified normative values for hamstrings and quadriceps isometric strength in collegiate soccer and basketball players using a low-cost hand-held dynamometer and assess the prevalence of "substantial" hamstrings-quadriceps (H/Q) ratio strength imbalance (<0.6) among players. Ninety-four healthy collegiate male and female soccer and basketball players (age range: 18-24 years) were examined for baseline isometric hamstrings and quadriceps strength using a handheld isometric dynamometer with standardized and valid protocols.

Introduction: Cognitive decline frequently occurs in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), but the clinical methods to predict the onset of cognitive changes are limited. Given preliminary evidence of the link between gait and cognition, the purpose of this study was to determine if dual task (DT) gait was related to declines in cognition over two years in PD.

Methods: A retrospective two-year longitudinal study of 48 individuals with PD using data from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative of the Michael J.

These result in prominent deficits in cognitive-motor automaticity. The relationship between AD-related cortical thinning and decreased automaticity is not well-understood.
