Low intensity scores indicate the absence of lockdown policies or policies that are minimally restrictive, while higher intensity scores indicate lockdown mandates that are more comprehensive and restrictive. We made minor adaptations to the Physical Distancing Intensity Coding Framework for this analysis....
The prevalence of menstrual cycle alterations in athletes is considerably higher than in sedentary controls. There appears to be a multicausal aetiology, which makes it extremely difficult to dissociate the effects of physical exercise on the menstrual cycle from the other predisposing factors. From cr...
Studies have also shown that self-regulation [83, 85] and affect-guided regulation of intensity [4] may result in individuals being willing to do more physical activity, while also producing fitness- and health-enhancing physiological adaptations [56, 57]. Similar results have been reported for ...
which are part of both the nuclear membrane and the nuclear matrix, which creates a potential difference between them. The nuclear membrane is a four-layer phospholipid dielectric, so the potential vector
Human children show unique cognitive skills for dealing with the social world but their cognitive performance is paralleled by great apes in many tasks dealing with the physical world. Recent studies suggested that members of a songbird family—corvids—also evolved complex cognitive skills but a deta...
Director Kenneth Branagh is best known for tackling Shakespeare with adaptations of "Hamlet" and "Much Ado About Nothing," just to name a couple. Even his first foray into blockbuster territory with Marvel's "Thor" came with a touch of The Bard's presence, and that opened the door to t...
Parkinson’s disease is characterized by a continuous loss of neurons within the substantia nigra (SN) leading to a depletion of dopamine. Within the adult SN as a non-neurogenic region, cells with mainly oligodendrocytic precursor characteristics, expressing the neuro-glial antigen-2 (NG2) are...
The effect of a long-term program on adherence in older adults seeking to improve low physical fitness compared to a multiactivity practice was studied. Seventy persons (+ 60 years) took part in 10 months program, distributing in three groups: low cardio
with an estimated 1.5 billion students transitioning to online learning [24]. These school restrictions and other social behavioral adaptations (e.g., social distancing, isolation) severely impacted the 24 h lifestyle of many children and youth [25], resulting in decreased opportunities for PA and...
Physical activity intensity is an underutilized biomarker in stroke rehabilitation, and current methods of measuring it—such as therapy time and self-reported exertion—have limited validity. Therefore, there is a need for more precise assessment tools. This review uses a novel framework to evaluate...
