A co-designed mixed methods study on community-based gym exercise for non-ambulant adults with childhood onset disability.

Purpose: Explore community-based gym exercise for non-ambulant adults with childhood-onset disability.

Materials And Methods: Non-ambulant adults with childhood-onset disability participated in four, weekly gym sessions co-facilitated by physiotherapists and exercise professionals. Practicalities of participating in the sessions were recorded uptake and attrition, weekly surveys, and focus groups.

Evaluating the effectiveness of mindfulness alone compared to exercise and mindfulness on fatigue in women with gynaecology cancer (GEMS): Protocol for a randomised feasibility trial.

Background: In 2020 Globocan reported nearly 1.4 million new cases of gynaecology cancer worldwide. Cancer related fatigue has been identified as a symptom that can be present for gynaecology cancer patients many years after treatment.

Participatory peer research exploring the experience of learning during Covid-19 for allied health and healthcare science students.

Introduction: The teaching and learning experience of allied health and healthcare science students has altered because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Limited research has explored the experience on the future healthcare workforce using participatory research design.

Dietary Interventions in the Management of Fibromyalgia: A Systematic Review and Best-Evidence Synthesis.

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterised by chronic widespread pain alongside fatigue, poor sleep quality and numerous comorbidities. It is estimated to have a worldwide prevalence of 1.78%, with a predominance in females.

The effectiveness of interventions aimed at increasing physical activity in adults with persistent musculoskeletal pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Individuals with persistent musculoskeletal pain (PMP) have an increased risk of developing co-morbid health conditions and for early-mortality compared to those without pain. Despite irrefutable evidence supporting the role of physical activity in reducing these risks; there has been limited synthesis of the evidence, potentially impacting the optimisation of these forms of interventions. This review examines the effectiveness of interventions in improving levels of physical activity and the components of these interventions.

Gaming for Health: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Physical and Cognitive Effects of Active Computer Gaming in Older Adults.

Background: Active computer gaming (ACG) is a method of facilitating physical activity in older people to improve health outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to update and extend a systematic review of the evidence for ACG to determine its effects on physical and cognitive health in older adults.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL in the Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO databases were searched from the date of the previous review (2011) to May 2016.

A systematic review of interventions aimed at increasing physical activity in adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain--protocol.

Background: Chronic musculoskeletal pain is highly prevalent, affecting around one in five people across Europe. Osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck pain and other musculoskeletal disorders are leading causes of disability worldwide and the most common source of chronic pain. Exercise and/or physical activity interventions have the potential to address not only the pain and disability associated with chronic pain but also the increased risk of morbidity and mortality seen in this population.

Pre-race health status and medical events during the 2005 World Adventure Racing Championships.
