Impact of exercise type, duration, and intensity on depressive symptoms in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effects of three types of physical exercise (resistance exercise, aerobic exercise, and group exercise), different exercise intervention times (3 months, 6 months), and different exercise intensities (low, moderate, and high) on the improvement of depressive symptoms in older adults aged ≥60 years, as well as to explore the impact of the sustainability of these physical exercise intervention programs on depressive symptoms in older adults.

Methods: The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of physical exercise on depressive symptoms in older adults were retrieved from Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase Data. The retrieval time limit is from establishing the database to January 7, 2024.

The Validity of a Dual-Force Plate for Assessing Counter-Movement Jump Performance.

Unlabelled: The objective of this study was to assess the concurrent validity of the Kunwei force plate system in relation to variables during a counter-movement jump (CMJ) task, in comparison to the Kistler in-ground force plate system, which is considered the "gold standard".

Methods: In a single testing session, the Kunwei force plates were placed directly on top of the in-ground Kistler force plate. This allowed for the simultaneous collection of vertical ground reaction forces from 30 participants (male, age = 22.

Impact of home quarantine on physical fitness of school-aged children in Xi'an during COVID-19 lockdown: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked unprecedented global challenges. This study intends to investigate changes in the physical fitness of students aged 6-22 during the COVID-19 pandemic and to assess how the pandemic lockdown period affected these markers.

Methods: According to the National Student Physical Health Standard, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to evaluate the body shape, body function, and physical fitness of children and adolescents (n = 8092) in Xi'an from 2019 to 2021.

The impact of backpack load on adolescent's stair descent gait.

This study investigates the impact of increasing backpack load on the gait of adolescents during stair descent. Sixteen healthy male students (age = 12.9 ± 0.

Effects of Mobile Phone Use on Gait and Balance Control in Young Adults: A Hip-Ankle Strategy.

Background: This study aimed to derive the effects of walking while using a mobile phone on balance perturbation and joint movement among young adults.

Methods: Sixteen healthy college students with no history of brain injury were tested. The participants were asked to walk under four different conditions: (1) walking, (2) browsing, (3) dialing, and (4) texting.

Increase in Cd Tolerance through Seed-Borne Endophytic Fungus Affected Root Exudates and Rhizosphere Bacterial Community of .

Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution is a serious environmental problem imperiling food safety and human health. The endophyte can improve the tolerance of to Cd stress. However, it is still unknown whether and how the endophyte helps host plants build up a specific bacterial community when challenged by CdCl.

Ultrasound-Guided Dry Needling for Trigger Point Inactivation in the Treatment of Postherpetic Neuralgia Mixed with Myofascial Pain Syndrome: A Prospective and Controlled Clinical Study.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided dry needling for trigger point inactivation in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) mixed with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).

Methods: A prospective and controlled clinical study was conducted. From January 2020 to December 2020, among the 100 patients who received PHN treatment in the pain department, 54 patients complicated with MPS were randomly divided into the dry needling group D ( = 28) and pharmacotherapeutic group P ( = 26).

A retrospective cohort analysis for the risk factors of intraoperative hypotension.

Aim Of The Study: To reveal the risk factors of intraoperative hypotension (IH) and investigate whether IH was corrected in time.

Methods Used To Conduct The Study: This retrospective cohort study included patients undergoing surgeries in one medical centre. We divided all patients into two groups, the IH group and non-IH group.

Adaptive Repetitive Control of A Linear Oscillating Motor under Periodic Hydraulic Step Load.

A linear oscillating motor has a direct and efficient linear motion output and is widely used in linear actuation systems. The motor is often applied to compact hybrid electrohydraulic actuators to drive a linear pump. However, the periodic switch of the rectification valve in the pump brings the hydraulic step load to the linear motor, which causes periodic oscillation waveform distortions.
