Vertical jump height measures our ability to oppose gravity and lower body neuromuscular function in athletes and various clinical populations. Vertical jump tests are principally simple, time-efficient, and extensively used for assessing athletes and generally in sport science research. Using the force platform for jump height estimates is increasingly popular owing to technological advancements and its relative ease of use in diverse settings.

The Electric Vehicle (EV) charging dataset includes detailed information on plug-in times, plug-out times, and energy charged for over 35,000 residential charging sessions, covering 267 user IDs across 12 locations within a mature EV market in Norway. Utilising methodologies outlined in [1], realistic predictions have been integrated into the datasets, encompassing EV battery capacities, charging power, and plug-in State-of-Charge (SoC) for each EV-user and charging session.

Objective: We examined two neurobehavioral executive function tasks and associations with cortical thickness in patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), suspected AD dementia, and a healthy control group.
Methods: First, we compared group performances on a go/no-go (GNG) task and on Luria's Fist-Edge-Palm (FEP) motor sequencing task.
This article describes findings from the evaluation of Healthy Families NZ (HFNZ), an equity-driven, place-based community health initiative. Implemented in nine diverse communities across New Zealand, HFNZ aims to strengthen the systems that can improve health and well-being. Findings highlight local needs and priorities including the social mechanisms important for reorienting health and policy systems towards place-based communities.
