Field-assessed functional exercise capacity and selected NCD-related health markers among students at Kuwait University
Background Functional exercise capacity, assessed as observed distance on the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT), is a field-based indicator relevant to cardiometabolic health, yet it remains poorly characterised among university students in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This cross-sectional study characterised field-assessed functional exercise capacity and selected NCD-related health markers among students at Kuwait University. Me…

This study maps the global scholarly landscape on digital parenting and children’s digital device use through bibliometric analysis of 628 Scopus articles (2010–2025). Using PRISMA-guided screening and science-mapping visualisations (VOSviewer and CiteSpace), the review identifies publication growth, influential sources, intellectual structures, and thematic clusters shaping the field. The mapped knowledge structure is dominated by health and med…
Psychological Safety
This study investigates the crucial mediating role of employees’ relational and emotional energies in the relationship between motivating language and psychological safety. It also explores the potential moderating effect of customer incivility on this relationship. Data (N = 365) were collected from the Malaysian hotel industry using convenience sampling and analyzed in SmartPLS. Relational energy mediates the link between motivating language an…

Effects of Covid-19 Lockdown on Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Satisfaction with Life in Qatar
This study examined the effects of home confinement on physical activity (PA) and life satisfaction during the COVID-19 outbreak in Qatar. A total of 1144 subjects participated (male: n = 588; female: n = 556; age: 33.1 ± 11.1 years; mass: 76.1 ± 16.4 kg; height: 1.70 ± 0.11 m; body mass index (BMI): 26.1 ± 4.44 kg/m 2 ). Online survey questions considered "before" and "during" confinement. Confinement reduced all PA intensities (η p 2 = 0.27-0.6…
Is Weight Gain Inevitable for Patients Trying to Quit Smoking as Part of Cardiac Rehabilitation
The literature is uncertain about the extent to which those who attend cardiac rehabilitation (CR) gain weight while trying to quit smoking. This study aimed to determine the extent of CR-based smoking cessation provision and whether CR, as delivered in routine practice, is associated with helping patients quit smoking and avoid weight gain. Data from the UK National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation database, between April 2013 and March 2016, wer…
The Associations between Mental Well-Being and Adherence to Physical Activity Guidelines in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
The association between physical activity (PA) and mental well-being in individuals with a cardiovascular disease (CVD) is poorly studied. The objective of this study was to assess the association between mental well-being and adherence to the recommended guidelines for PA in a Scottish adult population with CVD. The study used data from 3128 adults who had CVD conditions (1547 men and 1581 women; mean age 63.29 years) who participated in the Sco…
Factors Associated with Meeting Current Recommendation for Physical Activity in Scottish Adults with Diabetes
It remains unclear which factors are instrumental in meeting the recommended physical activity in people with diabetes. We, therefore, aimed to determine the sociodemographic, health-related behavior and clinical factors associated with meeting the recommended levels of physical activity in Scottish adults with diabetes. The study was based on the nationally-representative cross-sectional Scottish Health Surveys (2014-2017). The study participant…
Do Older Adults with Multimorbidity Meet the Recommended Levels of Physical Activity? An Analysis of Scottish Health Survey
There is a positive association between physical activity (PA) and improved health in older adults. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and determinants of meeting recommended levels of PA among older adults with multimorbidity. Data has been derived from the nationally representative Scottish Health Surveys (2014-2017). A sub-sample of 2230 older adults (aged 65+) with multimorbidity were the study participants. Physical act…
