Objectives: To describe a novel method for measuring eccentric hip adductor (EHAD) strength during the Copenhagen adduction exercise (CAE) and investigate the test re-test reliability of this measure.
Design: Test re-test reliability study.
Participants: Twenty male athletes aged 24 ± 6 years participated in two data collection sessions 7 ± 2 days apart.
Main Outcome Measures: During each data collection session, participants performed three maximal effort repetitions of the CAE with their leg supported by an ankle strap hung from a fixed barbell. We attached a commercially available load cell in-series with the ankle strap to measure peak force in Newtons (N) during the eccentric lowering phase of the CAE. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), SEM as a percentage of the mean (SEM%) and minimal detectable change at a 95% confidence interval (MDC) were calculated for this measure of EHAD strength.
Results: Test re-test reliability was good for EHAD strength measured during the CAE on dominant (ICC = 0.84; SEM% = 3.6%; MDC = 33 N) and non-dominant (ICC = 0.87; SEM% = 3.3%; MDC = 29 N) legs.
Conclusions: This study provides proof-of-concept that EHAD strength can be measured during the CAE with good test re-test reliability.

Introduction: The Nijmegen Questionnaire assesses hyperventilation syndrome (HVS), but a validated Vietnamese version is lacking. This study investigates the cross-culture validity, structural validity, and reliability of the Vietnamese Nijmegen questionnaire (VNQ) for screening HVS in primary healthcare settings.
Methods: Following Beaton's guidelines, translation and adaptation involved two independent expert panels for content validity.

Psychometric evaluation of the exercise-related cognitive errors questionnaire among Chinese emerging adults.

Background: Cognitive errors involve negatively biased or distorted thinking patterns that can hinder effective decision-making. When such a phenomenon occurs in the exercise domain, this is referred to as exercise-related cognitive error. Such exercise-related cognitive errors are typically assessed via a questionnaire, but a validated instrument for the application in Chinese-speaking populations is lacking.

To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Health Literacy Scale for HPV Vaccination among parents of girls aged 9-14. A total of 830 parents of girls in grades 3-8 were sampled using convenience sampling in March-April 2024 in a school in a district of Shanghai, China, and item analysis was conducted using the critical ratio method, the correlation coefficient method, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients; Cronbach's alpha coefficients, Spearman-Brown split-half coefficients, and re-test reliability correlation coefficients were used for reliability evaluation, and content validity and validity factor analysis for validity testing. The scale was analyzed by item analysis to remove one indicator: "Whether a doctor's advice affects vaccination," and the final version of the scale consisted of 34 items divided into three dimensions: medical services (11 items), disease prevention (15 items) and health promotion (8 items).

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a public health threat. Although therapy with direct-acting antivirals made its elimination possible, major challenges remain in treating vulnerable populations, such as people who inject drugs (PWID) enrolled in low-threshold programmes (LTPs). This study analysed the outcome of HCV management focused on HCV reinfection in a specifically designed model-of-care (MoC) for PWID in Slovenia, where treatment is prescribed without limitations, though only by specialist physicians.
