Exercise social support, barriers, and instructions in venous thromboembolism survivors: a descriptive study.

Background: Diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) can be a significant life event that leads to changes in physical activity and exercise. Currently, little is known about the psychosocial experiences of survivors including perceived sources of social support, exercise barriers, and instructions for exercise from medical providers.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore psychosocial characteristics associated with VTE survivors' postdiagnosis exercise.

The role of sport participation on exercise self-efficacy, psychological need satisfaction, and resilience among college freshmen.

To evaluate the relationship between high school sport participation among university students and whether previous sports participation was associated with current levels of exercise-self efficacy, resilience, and psychological need satisfaction physical activity behaviors. College freshmen ( = 152) in the United States responded to an electronic survey sent out by their university. Participants completed a set of questionnaires assessing resilience, psychological need satisfaction in exercise, self-efficacy, and current PA.

LBNP tolerance analyzed retrospectively using a structural equation model.

Unlabelled: It would be useful to be able to predict tolerance to lower body negative pressure (LBNP) because of the association of low LBNP tolerance to low orthostatic tolerance.

Purpose: To determine how well tolerance to LBNP can be modeled using laboratory variables assessed noninvasively.

Methods: There were 125 male and female college age and older (> 60 yr) subjects who underwent graded LBNP to presyncope.
