Previous studies have demonstrated that engaging in graphomotor activity for creating graphemes can enhance their subsequent visual discrimination. This suggests a positive influence of the motor system on visual learning. However, existing studies have emphasized the dominant hand, which is superiorly dexterous in fine-motor movements.

Shared care, a model emphasising collaboration between nursing and allied health, general practice and specialist care providers, has emerged as one solution.
Objective: This paper explores the contemporary shared care landscape in Australia, highlighting the digital transformation of healthcare, the adoption of eHealth technologies, and their impact on improving patient care coordination.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed nutrition advice available on the websites of 52 National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and the International Federation of Gymnastics (FIG), focusing on information relevant to male and female gymnasts based on rankings from November 2022.
- - Findings revealed that publicly accessible nutrition information is scarce and sometimes conflicting, particularly regarding hydration practices and macronutrient guidelines, which could confuse readers.
- - Recommendations include improving the clarity and specificity of dietary advice, developing tools for measuring hydration, and creating a more standardized approach to nutrition information across global gymnastics platforms.
Background: Although nutrition and exercise both influence bone metabolism, little is currently known about their interaction, or whether nutritional intervention can modulate the bone biomarker response to acute exercise. Improved understanding of the relationships between nutrition, exercise and bone metabolism may have substantial potential to inform nutritional interventions to protect the bone health of exercising individuals, and to elucidate mechanisms by which exercise and nutrition influence bone.
Objective: The aim was to synthesise available evidence related to the influence of nutrition on the response of the bone biomarkers procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX-1) to acute exercise, using a systematic review and meta-analytic approach.
