Article Synopsis
- - The WISE study aimed to recruit 1,130 older adults (65+) with a history of fragility fractures for a 3-year physical activity program to reduce serious fall-related injuries in Pennsylvania.
- - Recruitment methods included sending out letters, making phone calls, and utilizing community presentations, with letters being the most effective, resulting in 6818 interviews and 1139 participants enrolled.
- - The study successfully reached its recruitment target, highlighting that mass mailing was the most productive approach for engaging at-risk seniors in the physical activity intervention.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and short-term adherence to an adult outdoor group sport play program designed to maximize enjoyment that was modified to incorporate COVID-19 risk mitigation strategies. We enrolled 17 healthy, but sedentary, central Pennsylvania adults ( = 31.6 ± 7.

This study examines the mid and near infrared spectra of a suite of natural and synthetic powdered minerals of the isostructural barite mineral group. The mid-infrared (MIR) spectra are wholly compliant with anhydrous high purity anglesite, celestine and barite. The complementary near-infrared (NIR) spectra contain bands at ca 1.
