Article Synopsis
- Respiratory muscle training significantly improves symptoms and physical performance in patients with moderate to severe COPD, enhancing their quality of life.
- The study involved 65 COPD patients split into two groups: one receiving traditional pulmonary rehabilitation and the other combining that with inspiratory muscle training for three weeks.
- Results showed the group receiving additional muscle training had significant improvements in balance, gait, and respiratory pressures, whereas the control group did not exhibit notable changes.

Objective: To assess which type of physical exercise intervention has the most beneficial effects on balance, postural stability and general mobility in patients with Parkinson's disease. These parameters were assessed using the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (MiniBESTest) and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG).
Design: Network meta-analysis.

Background: Central Illustration : Prediction of Peak Oxygen Consumption in Patients with Heart Disease Based on Performance on the Timed Up and Go Test CPET: cardiopulmonary exercise test; TUG: timed up and go test; VO2peak: peak oxygen consumption.
Background: The use of the timed up and go (TUG) test to assess cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with heart disease has not been well defined in the literature.
Objectives: Test the association between TUG and peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak), construct an equation based on TUG to predict VO2peak, and determine a cutoff point to estimate VO2peak ≥ 20 mL/kg/min.
Effect of community-based group exercises combined with action observation on physical and cognitive performance in older adults during the Covid-19 pandemic: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This study investigates the impact of community-based exercises with action observation therapy (AOT) on the physical and cognitive performance of older adults experiencing social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: One hundred participants aged 65-80 years were randomly divided into two groups: the AOT group, which engaged in balance, strengthening, and mobility exercises guided by 15-minute action observation videos before a 45-minute exercise session, and the control group, which performed the same exercises without action observation. Both groups underwent three sessions per week for eight weeks (24 sessions in total).
