We aimed to determine how a bout of resistance or aerobic exercise impacts physiological responses and performance during firefighting occupational tasks. Thirty-two non-firefighters completed two baseline assessments and three trials: resistance exercise (RE), aerobic exercise (AE), or a rested control (CON). Trials were followed by an occupational task assessment (OTA; four rounds of 10 deadlifts (38.

- Acute exercise can temporarily boost cognitive flexibility, which is important for firefighters; this study investigates if on-shift exercises can maintain cognitive performance during work tasks.
- 32 participants performed a cognitive task and then engaged in either resistance exercise, aerobic exercise, or a control condition before completing an occupational task.
- The findings indicated that neither exercise type significantly improved cognitive flexibility, although aerobic exercise was associated with lower heart rate variability metrics, suggesting potential effects on autonomic function.
COVID-19 has strained population breast mammography screening programs that aim to diagnose and treat breast cancers earlier. As the pandemic has affected countries differently, we aimed to quantify changes in breast screening volume and uptake during the first year of COVID-19 . We systematically searched Medline, the World Health Organization (WHO) COVID-19 database, and governmental databases.
