Abstract The health benefits of playing football and the importance exercise social contact for healthy ageing are well established, but few older adults in UK take enough exercise. Football is popular, flexible format draws players into engrossing, effortful exercise, physical demands play at full speed may make it unsustainable some adults. Restricted to walking pace, will still be engaging? Will retained? remain manageable? This pilot study aims investigate: (1) experience every week,...
This study aimed to examine the physical capacity and physiological response Yo-Yo Intermittent Endurance level 2 test (IE2) for untrained individuals (UTR) trained male soccer players (TR) investigate determinants of intense intermittent exercise performance.Thirty-four healthy UTR males 15 age-matched TR performed a maximal incremental treadmill IE2 test. Muscle biopsies blood samples were obtained, heart rate (HR) was measured before, during, after tests.UTR had 67% lower (P < 0.01)...
To compare the effects of self-paced high-intensity interval and continuous cycle training on health markers in premenopausal women. Forty-five inactive females were randomised to a (HIIT; n = 15), (CT; 15) or an control (CON; group. HIIT performed 5 × min sets comprising repetitions 30-s low-, 20-s moderate- 10-s cycling with 2 rest between sets. CT completed 50 cycling. Training was self-paced, 3 times weekly for 12 weeks. Peak oxygen uptake (16 ± 8 21 12%), resting heart rate (HR) (−5 9...
The hypothesis that the adaptive capacity is higher in human upper- than lower-body skeletal muscle was tested. Furthermore, more pronounced adaptations upper-body musculature can be achieved by “low-volume high-intensity” compared with “high-volume low-intensity” exercise training evaluated. A group of sedentary premenopausal women aged 45 ± 6 yr (± SD) expected high potential both and lower-extremity groups participated. After random allocation to high-intensity swimming (HIS, n = 21),...
We examined the effects of 16 weeks football training and dietary advice on blood glucose control health status in 55‐ to 70‐year‐old women men with prediabetes. Fifty participants prediabetes (age; 61 ± 6 years, BMI ; 29.6 4.7; VO 2max 22.3 5.7 mL·min −1 ·kg ) were randomized into a group (F+D; n = 27) (D; 23). F+D performed (twice weekly 30‐ 60‐minutes sessions) received advice, while D only advice. An oral tolerance test ( OGTT was completed pre post 16‐week period. Body composition,...
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is feasible and beneficial for some people with Parkinson's (PwP), although adherence to extended programs may be problematic. PwP face barriers exercise such as lack of time, expense, difficulty travel logistics due motor symptoms. HIIT based in the home setting if practical, could therefore apposite by overcoming these barriers. However, until now, no home-based program has been developed. Cocreated PwP, clinicians, family members,...
The present study investigated the effects of 16 weeks small-volume, small-sided soccer training group (SG, n = 13) and oscillating whole-body vibration (VG, 17) on body composition, aerobic fitness, muscle PCr kinetics in healthy inactive premenopausal women comparison with an control (CO, 14). Training for SG VG consisted twice-weekly 15-min sessions average heart rates (HRs) ∼155 90 bpm respectively. Pre- post-measurements composition (DXA), phosphocreatine (PCr) on- off-kinetics, HR...
We aimed to study whether short-duration vibration exercise or football sessions of two different durations acutely changed plasma markers bone turnover and muscle strain.

Background Understanding and assessing patients’ body movements is essential for physical rehabilitation but challenging in video consultations, as clinicians are frequently unable to see the whole patient or observe they perform specific movements. Objective The objective of this exploratory study was assess use readily available technologies that would enable remote assessment movement part a consultation. Methods We reviewed literature chose four (Kubi Pivo desktop robots, Facebook Portal...
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is useful and feasible for some people with Parkinson’s (PwP), although long-term adherence may be problematic. If practical, undertaking HIIT in the home setting could a way to encourage continued participation. However, no home-based programme has been developed this population. Therefore, objectives of study were co-create feasible, accessible, safe PwP, including intervention components logic model. This supports longer term aim assess practicality...
<title>Abstract</title> Visual inspections of aircraft are a vital part routine procedures for maintenance personnel in the aviation industry. However, visual take up considerable amount time to perform and susceptible human error. To mitigate this, utilising image classification detecting defects is proposed. This approach utilises transfer learning ResNet-50 within MATLAB determine whether defect present an taken aircraft. The proposed method offers solution improving efficiency accuracy...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have found a wide range of applications for industrial and commercial use. Most UAVs an on-board camera, photography, or surveillance purposes with ground station communications are technically referred to as Aircraft Systems (UAS). These Commercially Off The Shelf (COTS) models costly, generally sold operated by large companies. Considering the three main aspects inspection UAS; flight controller, motors, designing developing UAS can be inexpensive in...

The exercise-induced adaptation pattern in oxidative capacity human skeletal is highly dependent on the type of training performed. However, information impact different exercise protocols muscle responses arm versus leg sparse. PURPOSE: To examined effects whole-body modes and muscle. METHODS: Sedentary premenopausal women (n=83; age; 45±2 (±SEM) yrs, height; 165±1 cm, weight; 79.2±1.5 kg, body fat; 42.9±0.6 %) were randomized into high-intensity swimming (HIS, n=21), moderate-intensity...
Spatial mapping creates a 3D reconstruction of visualised area to reproduce perception the environment. This can be applied in robotics for manoeuvring environments where Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) are inaccessible. Such devices capable spatial stereo-vision cameras. These cameras possess two or more image sensors, simulating human binocular vision and giving it ability perceive depth. Using this hardware on an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) introduces new capabilities...
