Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between aerobic exercise intensity based on the 6 min walk test (6MWT) and the anaerobic threshold (AT)-based equivalent in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The feasibility of using the 6MWT for exercise prescription in primary care settings was also investigated.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from AMI patients, including statistics on all values of the cardiopulmonary exercise test and 6MWT parameters.
Results: Regression analysis showed that the regression equation based on 6MWD exercise intensity (EI) could predict AT-based exercise intensity (EI). Moreover, EI correlated with EI in 91.9%-93.0% of patients' EI, with AMI equivalent to the EI model.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that the anaerobic threshold in AMI patients corresponds to 91.9%-93.0% of the distance covered during the 6MWT. Thus, the 6MWT is a feasible tool for developing exercise prescriptions in primary care hospitals.

Background: Cognitive dysfunction in hemodialysis (HD) patients is associated with decreased regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2). Intradialytic exercise improves cognitive function; nonetheless, the acute effect of intradialytic exercise on cerebral circulation remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the acute effect of intradialytic exercise on rSO2 during HD.

Self-reported physical activity is associated with lower brain food cue responsiveness in reward-related regions, but relationships utilizing objective physical activity measurement tools have not been explored. This cross-sectional study examined whether device-measured moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity and sedentary time are related to neural responses to visual food cues using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Fifty-one healthy adults (30 men, 21 women; mean ± SD: age 26 ± 6 years; body mass index 24.

Background: Bhangra dance is vibrant and energy demanding art form involving dynamic footwork, jumps, kicks and rapid movements. Poor biomechanics and uneven plantar pressure is a crucial factor for injury among dancers thus, this study protocol aimed at evaluating the efficacy of comprehensive foot strengthening program in improving faulty foot biomechanics and plantar pressure distribution to reduce the risk of lower limb injuries among male Bhangra dancers.
Methods: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be performed.
