- Runners who don't allow enough recovery time after training may be at a higher risk for injuries due to fatigue and altered movement patterns.
- A study looked at how different running intensities affect lower-limb joint movements and coordination during a single-leg squat in 30 healthy runners.
- Immediate and longer-term changes showed that coordination patterns became less adaptive (more regular) after moderate and high-intensity runs, but traditional kinematic analysis did not effectively capture these changes.

- - The study focused on the health and development review mandated for children in England at ages 2-2½ years, emphasizing the use of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) to assess early development and gather population-level data on trends and disparities.
- - Through 15 focus groups involving parents and health professionals, researchers explored experiences and priorities regarding child development measurements during these reviews.
- - Two main themes emerged: the desire for a comprehensive measurement approach that promotes open discussions about a child's development within the family context, and the need for clarity in the tool's purpose and consistent implementation among practitioners.
