The purpose of the study was to examine Hispanic and other minority ninth-grade students' health-related fitness (HRF) knowledge, using FitSmart, a standardized test for high school students. The test consisted of 50 weighted multiple choice items, measuring six subcontent components. Means and standard deviations of the overall scores and the subcontent scores were computed. The findings suggested that students demonstrated mastery of one subcontent component but failed to meet passing values for all other subcontents and overall HRF knowledge. Female students outscored their male counterparts, but there was no difference for ethnicity. More efforts are needed to ensure that Hispanic and other minority high school students master fundamental HRF knowledge.

Introduction: Functional magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful tool that has provided many insights into cognitive sciences. Yet, as its analysis is mostly based on the knowledge of an a priori canonical hemodynamic response function (HRF), its reliability in patients' applications has been questioned. There have been reports of neurovascular uncoupling in patients with glioma, but no specific description of the Hemodynamic Response Function (HRF) in glioma has been reported so far.

Existing solutions commonly address the diagnosis of FUO by transforming it into a multi-classification task. However, after the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians have recognized the heightened significance of early diagnosis in patients with FUO, particularly for practical needs such as early triage.
