Concurrent and construct validity of the OMNI-Cycle Scale Perceived Exertion were examined using young adult women men (18-32 yr).Concurrent was established by correlating ratings perceived exertion (RPE) with oxygen consumption (.VO2) heart rate (HR) responses to a load-incremented cycle ergometer protocol. Construct RPE derived from Borg (6-20) Scale. RPE, .VO2, HR measured during each exercise stage.The range across incremental test for female male groups .VO2 = 0.92-2.74 L.min-1,...

Objective Girls are more at risk than boys of the non-communicable diseases associated with insufficient levels physical activity (PA), therefore it is important to explore reasons why girls maintain or cease be physically active. Maternal support plays an role in girl’s PA, yet factors influencing mothers’ their PA have received limited exploration. In response, aim this study was explore, experiences supporting daughters active and perceptions that might influence these experiences. Method...

Having previously outlined the human-centered design development of a digital tool self-care HF, next step was pilot over period time establish people’s acceptance it in practice. Objective This study aims conduct an observational examine usability, adherence, and feasibility health for HF within Irish care system. Methods A total 19 participants with were provided comprising mobile app Fitbit Charge 4 Aria...

Eighty one percent of adolescents do not meet the recommended physical activity (PA) guidelines with levels declining steadily age and more pronounced in girls low socioeconomic position (SEP). Furthermore, early adolescence is a time when rate decline PA most severe amongst girls, placing them at an increased likelihood developing negative health outcomes associated inactivity. In response, aim this study was to explore low-SEP pre-teen girls' experiences being physically active understand...

Abstract Purpose Pre-teen girls of lower socio-economic position are at increased risk physical inactivity. Parental support, particularly mothers, is positively correlated with girls’ activity levels.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a broad term employed to characterise lateral hip originating from the structures attached greater trochanter of femur. It can lead decrease in work participation, elevated levels and dysfunction impeding physical activity diminished quality life; these features align with those observed individuals severe osteoarthritis. Effectively managing GTPS present considerable challenges. Generally, patients tend respond favourably conservative management...
