Exercise tests of coronary function at the tenth day of an uncomplicated myocardial infarction offer objective evaluation of short-term benefits of an early accelerated physical retraining program. They also allow better individual adaptation of exercises prescribed at the start of convalescence at home. Exercise test results show significant correlation with clinical data and bicycle ergometer tests carried out two months after infarction, with respect to physical aptitude, reasons for discontinuation of test and lethality risk two months after infarction. This suggests that exercise tests performed after the acute phase of myocardial infarction are of diagnostic and prognostic value.

Effect of exercise training on modulating the TH17/TREG imbalance in individuals with severe COPD: A randomized controlled trial.
Pulmonology
December 2025
Laboratory of Experimental Therapeutics, LIM-20, Department of Clinical Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) induces an imbalance in T helper (Th) 17/regulatory T (Treg) cells that contributes to of the dysregulation of inflammation. Exercise training can modulate the immune response in healthy subjects.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effects of exercise training on Th17/Treg responses and the differentiation of Treg phenotypes in individuals with COPD.
Introduction: This study aimed to compare the effects of structured sports games (SG) and psychomotricity activities (PCM) on the locomotor, stability, and manipulative motor competencies of preschool children.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted over an 8-week period, involving two experimental groups (SG, = 30 and PCM, = 30) and one control group (CG, = 28), with participants attending two intervention sessions per week. A total of 88 5-year-old children participated in the experiment (boys = 48; girls = 40).
Enhancing safety monitoring in post-stroke rehabilitation through wearable technologies.
Clin Rehabil

Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada.
Objective: Current clinical practice guidelines support structured, progressive protocols for improving walking after stroke. Technology enables monitoring of exercise and therapy intensity, but safety concerns could also be addressed. This study explores functional mobility in post-stroke individuals using wearable technology to quantify movement smoothness-an indicator of safe mobility.

Musculoskeletal Care
March 2025
School of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada.
Introduction: Osteoarthritis is a progressive joint disease that causes pain and disability, impairing physical function. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is recommended for knee osteoarthritis, while stationary time, independent of activity, may negatively impact health outcomes. We hypothesised that individuals with the highest MVPA and lowest stationary time would have better long-term function compared to those with the lowest MVPA and highest stationary time, as well as those with high levels of both MVPA and stationary time.

J Orthop Res
January 2025
Department of Physical Therapy, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware, USA.
A high proportion of individuals with Achilles tendinopathy continue to demonstrate long-term symptoms and functional impairments after exercise treatment. Thus, there is a need to delineate patient presentations that may require alternative treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the presence of metabolic risk factors relates to tendon symptoms, psychological factors, triceps surae structure, and lower limb function in individuals with Achilles tendinopathy.
