The associations between dairy product intake, fatigue status, and physical activity among postpartum women in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Fatigue is a major issue that affects women during the postpartum period. A healthy dietary pattern and increased physical activity (PA) are commonly recommended lifestyle modifications to promote health during this time. However, little is known about the interrelationship between dairy product intake, PA level, and postpartum fatigue (PPF) among women.

Factors associated with postpartum fatigue: an exploration of the moderating role of resilience.

Background: Postpartum fatigue (PPF) can impair the physical and mental well-being of women. The aims of this study were to assess the associations between fatigue and maternal health-related variables, specifically, sleep quality, depression symptoms, and resilience, and to explore the moderating role of resilience in the relationships between sleep quality, depression symptoms, and fatigue.

Methods: This cross-sectional study used data collected from mothers during the postpartum period via an online platform.

Multifaceted associations between walking performance, physical fitness, extremity function, health status, and depression in individuals with COPD.

Background/objective(s): Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can precipitate a deterioration of an individual's physical performance and overall health. Evidence suggests that, along with pulmonary functions, several other factors are related to the significant impairment of walking performance in individuals with COPD. This study compared the depressive symptoms, health status, upper and lower extremity functions, and peak oxygen uptake (VO) in a group of individuals with COPD based on walking performance using a cutoff distance of 350 m in the six-minute walking test (6MWT).

The measurement of fatigability severity in individuals with multiple sclerosis and healthy controls.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that substantially diminishes one's ability to undertake daily living activities. Fatigue has been reported by at least 80 % of persons with MS (PwMS). Yet, little is known concerning the quantification of fatigability using prolonged walking tests.

Translation and population-based validation of the Arabic version of the brief resilience scale.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) into the Arabic language and to assess the reliability and validity of the translated version of the scale among a sample of the Saudi population.

Material And Methods: The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the translated BRS were analyzed. Factor analyses were conducted to examine the factor structure of the scale.

Factors contributing to falls in people with multiple sclerosis: The exploration of the moderation and mediation effects.

The prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) has significantly increased in recent decades. People with MS have a high risk of falling; these falls may lead to serious injuries, affecting their quality of life PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to assess the factors affecting falls in people with MS and map out the most significant ones. This study also aims to determine whether fatigue has a moderation effect and balance has a mediation effect on falls in people with MS METHODS: In total, 103 people with MS with a mean age of 32.

The relationship between fatigue, sleep quality, resilience, and the risk of postpartum depression: an emphasis on maternal mental health.

Background: Several factors can contribute to the development of postpartum depression (PPD) and negatively affect mothers' mental and physical well-being. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between fatigue, sleep quality, resilience, and the risk of PPD development.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire distributed to mothers during their postpartum period.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice among Physical Therapists toward COVID-19 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia-A Cross-Sectional Study.

To curb the COVID-19 pandemic, the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of preventive measures play an essential role, and healthcare workers have had to endure a burden to care for COVID-19 patients. Thus, this study aimed to assess the weight of the KAP of physiotherapists in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a cross-sectional study, where we circulated an online KAP questionnaire to 1179 physical therapists, and among those, 287 participated and completed the questionnaire.

Barriers and facilitators affecting physical activity among adults in Saudi Arabia during COVID-19 quarantine.

The quarantine period in Saudi Arabia from May to June 2020 due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic prevented many people from engaging in physical activity (PA), which may have had negative effects on their health. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors, barriers, and facilitators affecting PA of people during quarantine. This cross-sectional study was conducted using an electronic survey that was distributed to adults between 18 and 69 years old.

Physical activity patterns in adult population during the coronavirus pandemic: consideration of the role of resilience.

Background: The aim of this study was to characterize patterns of physical activity (PA) and to examine whether resilience contributed to PA levels among adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted during the COVID-19 quarantine period among adult population in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) were used to assess the participants' activity and resilience levels.
