Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the kinetics, kinematics and muscle activity in runners with Achilles tendinopathy. Design: Case–control study. Setting: Biomechanics laboratory. Participants: 21 free from injury tendinopathy performed 10 running trials standardised shoes. Injured were diagnosed clinically according established diagnostic criteria. Uninjured had been injury-free for at least 2 years. Main outcome measurements: During each trial, kinetic lower limb...
Background Low-volume high-intensity interval training holds promise for cardiometabolic health promotion in adolescents, but sustainable interventions must be practical and engaging. We examined the effect of a school-based multi-activity low-volume intervention on adolescents' health. Methods In an exploratory controlled before-and-after design, 101 adolescents (mean age ± standard deviation [SD] 14.0 0.3 years) were recruited from four schools; two designated as sites (n = 41), control...

Sports Exerc., Vol. 36, No. 2, pp. 272–277, 2004. Purpose The aim this study was to compare biomechanical changes during natural heel-toe running learned midfoot running. Methods Twenty runners were instructed in a novel style which acromium, greater trochanter, lateral malleolus are aligned stance (Pose running). Clinical gait...
Exergaming has been proposed as an innovative method for physical activity promotion. However, large effectiveness studies are rare. In January 2011, dance mat systems were introduced in secondary schools two districts England with the aim of promoting opportunity activity. The this natural experiment was to examine effect introducing exergaming on and health-related outcomes 11–13 year old students using a non-randomised controlled design mixed methods. Participants recruited from five...
ABSTRACT Background Interactive electronic devices (IEDs) are ubiquitous in young children's lives. However, research on their impact learning and development is still limited. The aim of this study was to understand the perspectives early years practitioners (EYPs) public health consultants (PHCs) use IEDs children aged 3–5. Methods Using purposive sampling techniques, we recruited four EYPs two PHCs from nurseries a government organisation northwest England. Semi‐structured interviews were...
Background and objective: There is an increased interest in exploring the association between fitness components with cognitive development children recent years. One of scopes to find best exercise prescription enhance health cognition. Most studies so far have focused on cardiorespiratory little evidence other components. The present study aimed explore physical (PF) motor (MF) performance children. Methods: Two hundred six schoolboys (11.0 ± 0.8 y) underwent a battery tests measure...
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the association between physical activity (PA) and sitting time on adults' mental health (i.e., depression, anxiety wellbeing) influence mediators confounders.
Background As a recognised effective and economical agent for dental caries prevention, fluoride has been used in many different fluoridation schemes implemented across the world. Considering narrow ‘dose-gap’ between benefit of reduction risk fluorosis, it is recommended that intake monitored by measuring urinary excretion. The aim this scoping review to map current literature/evidence on excretion studies relation study population, settings, type design, methodology, analytical approach....
Physical activity is critical to improving health and well-being in children. Quantitative studies have found a decline the transition from primary secondary education. Exergames (active video games) might increase physical adolescents. In January 2011 exergame dance mat systems were introduced all schools across two local authority districts UK. We performed quasi-experimental evaluation of natural experiment using mixed methods design. The quantitative findings this work been previously...
Abstract The present study investigated the effect of chronic exercise on fluoride (F) metabolism in fluorosis-susceptible mice exposed to high-F and explored relationship between F concentrations bone plasma. Thirty male were randomised into three groups: Group I (No-F, No-Exercise), II (50 ppmF, III Exercise). Body weight physical performance all measured at baseline end experiment. plasma Mean concentration was significantly higher (p < 0.001) Groups compared with I. also 0.01) There a...
