Application of the IOC Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) Clinical Assessment Tool version 2 (CAT2) across 200+ elite athletes.

Objective: This cross-sectional retrospective and prospective study implemented the 2023 International Olympic Committee Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) Clinical Assessment Tool version 2 (CAT2) to determine the current severity of REDs (primary outcome) and future risk of bone stress injuries (BSI, exploratory outcome) in elite athletes.

Methods: Female (n=143; 23.3±4.

Therapeutic Quality Affects Physical Fitness Benefits of Home Exercise Interventions in Older Adults: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression.

Background And Purpose: The international Consensus on Therapeutic Exercise aNd Training (i-CONTENT) tool is a new instrument developed to evaluate the therapeutic quality of exercise interventions. Home-based exercise has been shown to improve physical fitness in older adults, but its effects may be influenced by therapeutic quality. The purpose of this systematic review was to describe the therapeutic quality of home-based exercise interventions for community-dwelling older adults and examine the relationship between therapeutic quality and changes in physical fitness.

Higher- and lower-load resistance exercise training induce load-specific local muscle endurance changes in young women: a randomised trial.

The effect of resistance training with higher- and lower-loads on muscle mass and strength has been extensively studied, while changes in muscle endurance have received less attention. This trial aimed to assess the effect of training load on absolute muscle endurance (AME) and relative muscle endurance (RME). Sixteen untrained women (22.

The Impact of Abdominal Body Contouring Surgery on Physical Function After Massive Weight Loss: A Pilot Prospective Matched Comparison.

Background: Many individuals develop excess skin (ES) following massive weight loss (MWL). Patient-reported outcomes demonstrate that abdominal ES negatively impacts perceived physical function which is improved by abdominal body contouring surgery (ABCS). However, the effect of ABCS on objective measures of physical function is unknown.
