Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine nursing students' scenario performance in a simulation game by utilizing game metrics.
Background: A significant advantage of simulation games is that they can store large amounts of data. Although game metrics enable the objective evaluation and analysis of performance, their use in the evaluation of students' performance is limited.
Method: Nursing students ( N = 376) played a simulation game at home for 1 week. The resulting data consisted of game metrics stored in the game: number of playthroughs, mean scores, and mean playing times.
Results: The total number of playthroughs was 1,923. Statistically significant differences were found between different scenarios regarding the mean score ( p < .0001). Mean playing time was significantly associated with the mean score ( p < .05).
Conclusion: Game metrics demonstrate nursing students' scenario performance in clinical reasoning skills in different scenarios in a simulation game.

Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Background: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR) high-intensity interval training (HIIT) boxing protocol compared to traditional high-intensity circuit training (HICT) in improving exercise motivation, engagement, and physiological responses among 30 healthy medical students.
Objective: The purpose was to compare the VR HIIT protocol, which involved using an Oculus Quest 2 for a futuristic exoskeleton game experience, with a traditional 12-exercise HICT.
Methods: In total, 30 medical students engaged in both VR HIIT, using an Oculus Quest 2 for a futuristic exoskeleton game experience, and a traditional 12-exercise HICT.

There is increasing evidence that the subcellular localization of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can provide valuable insights into their biological functions. In terms of transcriptomes, lncRNAs were usually found in multiple subcellular localizations. Although several computational methods have been developed to predict the subcellular localization of lncRNAs, few of them were designed for lncRNAs that have multiple subcellular localizations.

The pace of play, a critical tactical element in basketball, significantly influences offensive and defensive strategies. This study aimed to identify statistical indicators that differentiate winners from losers across varying game paces using a sample of 90 Olympic men's basketball games from 2016, 2021, and 2024. Games were categorized as fast-paced or slow-paced via clustering algorithms.

It is commonly accepted that a primary goal of orthopaedic surgeries is to restore function for our patients, and to achieve this goal, many research studies aim to define outcomes that set a benchmark for knowing whether this mark is achieved. Unfortunately, return-to-play (RTP) and return-to-sport (RTS) metrics are often used without any strict definition or standardization. They often rely on patient recall, which could be biased, and often fail to distinguish level of performance after return to activity.

This idea means that, in sports like soccer, the playing area encapsulates an ecological niche, replete with affordances inviting collective and individual technical-tactical actions, contextualized with associated psychological and physical demands. To examine the co-adaptive relationships framing players' actions in their ecological niche, the present study employed a crossover design with repeated measures to compare the players' transactions within 11 vs.
