The World Federation of Haemophilia recommends including regular activity the management plans for individuals with haemophilia, emphasising its benefits bone strengthening, improved...
This pilot protocol study aims to evaluate the effects of an adapted Taekwondo-based intervention on upper limb strength and overall functional capacity in elderly care home residents. Considering global trend population ageing, physical activity interventions facilities are essential mitigate decline enhance well-being among this population. 20 participants will be stratified into walking non-walking groups reflect diverse levels within facility. The primary outcome focus strength, which...
