An evaluation of a community-based intervention in England aiming to reduce inequalities in exercise participation
Introduction Exercise referral schemes are a common intervention that seek to address physical inactivity. There is limited evidence on whether they can address the inequalities in inactivity associated with income, age, and gender. A novel intervention that sought to address barriers to the uptake of physical activity schemes including access, cost, and specific health and social needs of participants was evaluated in a mixed methods study. Meth…
Insights from older adults’ lived experience of physical activity and exercise during the Covid-19 lockdown in England
Introduction This study investigated older adults' emotional and social experiences of physical activity and exercise during the first Covid-19 lockdown in England. Methods Participants were 24 older adults (M = 74 years, SD = 5.0) either physically active or inactive before lockdown. Semi-structured interviews were conducted at the start of the pandemic in England, and when restrictions were lifted eight weeks later. Results Template analysis re…
What makes young people get involved with street gangs in London? A study of the perceived risk factors
This study examined the perceived determinants of street gang‐related antisocial behavior (ASB) and crime of young people (YP) in a deprived and ethnically diverse community in London. Twenty‐six participants were recruited from two youth centers (one sport and one art‐based program) from the borough of Tower Hamlets. Participants took part in four focus groups (FGs) organized into two youth ( N = 14) and two adults ( N = 12) subgroups. The FG qu…
The Type of Per-Cooling Strategies Currently Employed by Competitive and Professional Cyclists-Triathletes During Training and Competition Are Condition (Dry vs. Humid) Dependant
PurposeTo investigate cooling strategies employed by athletes (cyclists-triathletes) during training and competition in hot and dry (HD) and hot and humid (HH) conditions.MethodsThirty-five athletes completed an online questionnaire on the type, timing, and justification of cooling strategies employed during past training and/or competitions in HD and HH conditions. In addition, 3 athletes also completed a one-to-one follow-up interview.ResultsCo…
Gastrocnemius Medialis Contractile Behavior Is Preserved During 30% Body Weight Supported Gait Training
Rehabilitative body weight supported gait training aims at restoring walking function as a key element in activities of daily living. Studies demonstrated reductions in muscle and joint forces, while kinematic gait patterns appear to be preserved with up to 30% weight support. However, the influence of body weight support on muscle architecture, with respect to fascicle and series elastic element behavior is unknown, despite this having potential…
