Objective: To establish the norms of Healthy Fitness Measurement Scale Version 1.0 (HFMS V1.0) for Chinese urban elderly.
Objective: Using a multistage stratified sampling method, we conducted a large- scale epidemiological investigation among 5782 urban elderly residents sampled from Guangzhou (south China), Hefei (East China), Tianjin (north China), Shenyang (northeast China), Luzhou (southwest China) and Lanzhou (northwest China). The mean, percentile and threshold norms were established based on the characteristics of HFMS V1.0 scores for Chinese urban elderly.
Objective: The mean and percentile norms of total, physical, mental and social healthy fitness of Chinese urban elderly were established according to gender and different age groups (60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, and ≥80 years). The threshold norms of HFMS V1.0 were divided into 5 states, namely very low, low, moderate, high and very high states according to the ± and ±0.5 of the converted scores.
Objective: The established norms of Healthy Fitness Measurement Scale (HFMS V1.0) for Chinese urban elderly provide evaluation criteria for Chinese elderly healthy fitness level and facilitate exploration of healthy fitness status and its influencing factors in Chinese urban elderly.

Purpose: Advances in cancer treatment have increased childhood cancer patient's survival rates. However, many childhood cancer survivors (CCS) face long-term effects such as fatigue. This study assessed fatigue in CCS and healthy controls (HCs), its contributors, and associated outcomes.

The Effects of Gymnastics Programs with Different Cognitive Loads on Working Memory and Prefrontal Cortex Oxygenation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Med Sci Sports Exerc
January 2025
Graduate Institute of Sports Pedagogy, University of Taipei, Taipei, TAIWAN.
Purpose: This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate the effects of gymnastics programs with high versus low cognitive load on children's visuospatial working memory (VSWM) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxygenation.
Methods: Eighty-one healthy children aged 7 to 10 from Taipei City were randomly assigned to high cognitive load (HG), low cognitive load (LG), and control (SC) groups. The HG and LG groups underwent an 8-week gymnastics program with different levels of cognitive load, while the SC group participated in a static course.
Short- and long-term effects of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation on autonomic cardiovascular control and arm-crank exercise capacity in individuals with a spinal cord injury (STIMEX-SCI): study protocol.
BMJ Open

School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK
Introduction: Individuals with higher neurological levels of spinal cord injury (SCI) at or above the sixth thoracic segment (≥T6), exhibit impaired resting cardiovascular control and responses during upper-body exercise. Over time, impaired cardiovascular control predisposes individuals to lower cardiorespiratory fitness and thus a greater risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) has been shown to modulate cardiovascular responses at rest in individuals with SCI, yet its effectiveness to enhance exercise performance acutely, or promote superior physiological adaptations to exercise following an intervention, in an adequately powered cohort is unknown.
