Background: Physical activity and sport (PAS) have been related to health and social benefits, but their monetary value remains unclear. This systematic review on the social return on investment of PAS aimed to find what are the social outcomes measured in previous PAS literature and how are these measured and valued.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted on WoS, PubMed, and EconLit.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explored how European Union (EU) policies address the social value of physical activity (PA) and assessed the presence of social return on investment (SROI) evidence in these policies.
- - Content analysis revealed that while policies often highlighted health benefits from PA, they generally overlooked its impacts on wellbeing, education, and other social aspects; SROI references were also limited.
- - The findings suggest that incorporating a more comprehensive social value framing in policies could enhance PA promotion by raising awareness and encouraging collaboration across sectors.

Background: Physical activity and sport (PAS) have been related to many health outcomes and social benefits. The main aim of this research is to build a Social Return on Investment (SROI) model of PAS based on experts' opinion to clarify the domains of impact and how to measure and value them.
Methods And Analysis: A Delphi method will be employed with a systematic review on the SROI framework applied to PAS and initial interviews with experts informing the design of the Delphi survey statements.
Exercise interventions for breast cancer survivors have proved their potential to improve clinical, physical, and psychosocial outcomes. However, limited studies have explored exercise effects on autonomic dysfunction and the measurement of exercise tolerance and progression through daily heart rate variability (HRV). To analyze the effects of a 16-wk exercise intervention on the autonomic modulation of breast cancer survivors, as well as to examine the evolution of daily measured HRV and its interaction with exercise sessions in this population.

Methods: Sixteen survivors who had undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy were included. Participants trained resistance and cardiovascular components 3 times per week.
