Reactive agility—evidence based suggestions for improvement
Purpose To examine the contributions of lower-limb eccentric strength, reactive strength, and cognitive inhibitory control to reactive agility performance. Methods Forty-five healthy, physically active males (21.3 ± 3.5 years) performed eccentric and isometric strength testing of knee flexors and extensors (Biodex dynamometer), 30 cm drop jumps for reactive strength, and a computerized Stroop task (EncephalApp) for cognitive performance. Reactive…
Cognitive costs in motor-cognitive performance assessments depend on movement complexity and cognitive task design
The results confirm the presence of cognitive costs in motor-cognitive assessments. The type of motor response and test design influence cognitive costs and test performance and can even result in inverse cognitive costs during motor-cognitive tasks. This must be considered when interpreting motor-cognitive tests and suggest that computer-based assessments cannot simply be replaced by motor-cognitive alternatives
The Acute Effects of Single or Repeated Bouts of Vigorous-Intensity Exercise on Insulin and Glucose Metabolism during Postprandial Sedentary Behavior
Fitness and exercise may counteract the detrimental metabolic and mood adaptations during prolonged sitting. This study distinguishes the immediate effects of a single bout vs. work-load and intensity-matched repeated exercise breaks on subjective well-being, blood glucose, and insulin response (analyzed as area under the curve) during sedentary time; and assesses the influence of fitness and caloric intake on metabolic alterations during sedenta…
Going Online?—Can Online Exercise Classes during Covid-19-Related Lockdowns Replace in-Person Offers
Germany experienced a 6-month second lockdown (November 2020-April 2021) during the COVID-19 pandemic, which included the closure of all physical activity (PA) facilities. The use of online exercise classes (OECs) was promoted by public health and exercise organizations. Using the present cross-sectional online survey, we assess the use of and opinion towards OECs in Germany during the second lockdown. We used contingency tables and the Chi 2 tes…
Effects of Covid-19 Lockdown on Physical Performance, Sleep Quality, and Health-Related Quality of Life in Professional Youth Soccer Players
Background In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak led to the declaration of a pandemic. The accompanying restrictions on public life caused a change in the training routines of athletes worldwide. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of a 13-week supervised home training program on physical performance, sleep quality, and health-related quality of life in professional youth soccer players during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Germany.…
Psychosocial Moderators and Mediators of Sensorimotor Exercise in Low Back Pain
The effects of exercise interventions on unspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP) have been investigated in many studies, but the results are inconclusive regarding exercise types, efficiency, and sustainability. This may be because the influence of psychosocial factors on exercise induced adaptation regarding CLBP is neglected. Therefore, this study assessed psychosocial characteristics, which moderate and mediate the effects of sensorimotor exer…
Physical Activity during the First Covid-19-Related Lockdown in Italy
The spread of the COVID-19 virus was met by a strict lockdown in many countries around the world, with the closure of all physical activity (PA) facilities and limitations on moving around freely. The aim of the present online survey was to assess the effect of lockdown on physical activity in Italy. Physical activity was assessed using the European Health Interview Survey questionnaire. A total of 1500 datasets were analyzed. Differences between…
How Is the Self-Perceived Work Ability Affected by the Duration of Unemployment, Heart Rate Variability and the Amount of Physical Activity in Older Long-Term Unemployed Persons
the relation between self-perceived work ability, health-associated parameters, the HRV and the level of physical activity points out the relevance of health-care exercise and the need of stress-reducing interventions to improve perceived work ability. Our results point out the need for the further and more holistic development of healthcare for the unemployed
Effects of a Structured Physical-Activity Counseling and Referral Scheme in Long-term Unemployed Individuals
Unemployment is associated with health risks. Physical activity produces health benefits. This study examined the effects of a physical activity counseling and exercise referral scheme on physical-activity behavior in long-term unemployed individuals. In this study, 51 long-term unemployed persons received physical-activity counseling and exercise referral. Further, 21 unemployed and 17 employed persons with no intervention were included. Physica…
