- - The study investigated whether the running power (RP) measured by the Stryd footpod device remains consistent when switching between training shoes and high-performance racing shoes (HPRS).
- - Fourteen trained runners participated in treadmill tests, revealing that RP was not significantly different across shoe types, but the metabolic power (W) was about 5% lower when wearing HPRS.
- - The findings suggest that while RP and W are related within shoe types, runners should take their shoe type into account when using RP to estimate W for both training and racing.
Article Synopsis
- The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy combined with physical activity (CBT+PA) or exercise (CBT+Ex) in children with chronic diseases compared to CBT alone.
- The review included randomized clinical trials involving children under 18, focusing on interventions with objective measures of physical activity and exercise.
- Findings showed a small, non-significant increase in physical activity and exercise in intervention groups compared to those receiving only CBT, highlighting the need for more comprehensive studies in this area.
