An additional 17 healthy control participants were recruited. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) was measured using oxygen consumption (VO_2peak), and additional measures of walking speed (m s^-1), leg strength and body composition were also assessed. Differences between groups were assessed by matched pairs t-tests. Effect sizes were calculated using Cohen's d. Results: There were no significant differences in age, BMI, muscle mass or body fat between groups (p > 0.05). Peak VO₂ was lower in the stroke group for the shuttle walk test (p = 0.037) and progressive cycle test (p = 0.019), as were all CRF test performance measures (p < 0.05). Stroke survivors walked significantly (p < 0.001) slower at both self-selected and fast speeds. Effect sizes of group differences for all leg strength variables were medium to large, with peak torque lower in the stroke group for all trials. Conclusions: Despite being independently ambulant and community dwelling, the CRF, walking speed and leg strength of this group were reduced compared to non-stroke comparison participants.

Findings: Participants exercised at VO₂ ≥10.5 mL/kg/min for the majority of the time on the workstations [functional: 369/472 epochs (78%), ergometer: 170/204 epochs (83%)]. Most (69%) participants exercised for ≥30 minutes. No serious adverse events occurred. Conclusions: Applying interval training principles to a circuit of functional and ergometer workstations enabled ambulant participants to exercise at an intensity and for a duration that can improve cardiorespiratory fitness.

The 6-month gender-tailored SHED-IT WLM Program was completely self-administered and operationalized SCT behaviour change principles to assist men to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and decrease energy-dense, nutrient-poor (discretionary) food consumption after initial weight loss. After randomization (WLM baseline), men were reassessed at 6 months (WLM post-test) and 12 months (6-month WLM follow-up). SCT cognitions (e.g., self-efficacy, goal setting), MVPA, and discretionary food consumption were assessed with validated measures. Results: Following significant improvements in cognitions, MVPA and discretionary food consumption during the weight loss phase, intention-to-treat, linear mixed models revealed no significant group-by-time differences in cognitions or behaviours during the WLM phase. Initial improvements in MVPA and some cognitions (e.g., goal setting, planning, and social support) were largely maintained by both groups at the end of the study. Dietary effects were not as strongly maintained, with the intervention and control groups maintaining 57% and 75% of the Phase I improvements in discretionary food intake, respectively. Conclusions: An additional SCT-based WLM programme did not elicit further improvements over a self-help control in the cognitions or behaviours for MVPA or discretionary food intake of men who had lost weight with a SCT-based weight loss programme.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:32:59 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13785 2, ≥ 30 kg/m²).

Functional Movement Screen scores, height, and mass were collected at the beginning of the preseason. Training, match exposure, and injury incidence data (non-contact match and training injuries with three levels of severity) were recorded for each individual athlete throughout the season. Linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate the association between Functional Movement Screen score (continuous score, ≤ 14 or > 14, and three subscores) and injury risk, whilst controlling for exposure time. The mean Functional Movement Screen score for the sample was 13.4 (95% CI: 11.0–14.0). A total of 72 non-contact injuries were recorded (incidence rate: 18.7 per 1000 exposure hours; 95% CI: 11.6–24.8). There were no statistically significant associations between non-contact injury and Functional Movement Screen score for any of the analyses conducted. Our results suggest that the Functional Movement Screen does not reflect non-contact injury risk in elite adolescent rugby league players.

Responses were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using a systematic deductive approach with coding derived from key concepts developed as part of the interview structure. Seventeen participants from eight families were interviewed (aged 18-70 years, 47% male, five with CVD diagnosis). Key themes indicated both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations to improve heart health, variations in risk perception, recognition of the role diet plays in heart health, and the extent of family influences on eating patterns. Discrepancies between perceived and actual CVD risk perception impacted on perceived "need" to modify current dietary patterns towards heart health recommendations. Therefore, strategies not reliant on risk perception are needed to engage those with low risk perception. This could involve identifying and accessing the family "ringleader" to influence involvement and capitalising on personal accountability to other family members.]]> Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:22:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36091 Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:27:33 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47793 Tue 31 Jan 2023 15:05:01 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48324 Tue 14 Mar 2023 16:40:44 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38413 Tue 07 Sep 2021 16:15:37 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34974 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:17:52 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34796 Tue 03 Sep 2019 17:59:27 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:135 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:09:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34931 20,000 kJ.

Conclusions: Results from this study demonstrated that people attending residential substance dependence treatment are willing and capable of engaging in multiple health behavior change interventions.]]> Mon 20 Mar 2023 12:29:21 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46239 Mon 14 Nov 2022 13:07:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52271 Mon 09 Oct 2023 10:04:07 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51413 Mon 04 Sep 2023 14:50:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52793 Fri 27 Oct 2023 14:08:39 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39253 Fri 27 May 2022 15:49:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33057 Fri 24 Aug 2018 11:32:40 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38018 Fri 23 Jul 2021 15:47:31 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33350 Fri 19 Oct 2018 12:56:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42232 Fri 19 Aug 2022 11:42:25 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47244 Fri 16 Dec 2022 12:23:04 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46151 n = 18, mean age: 62.2 ± 9.9 years) performed three repeat trials of sustained maximal grasp over 8 seconds. Both hands were tested in within-day and between-day sessions, with vision and without vision. Measures of maximal tactile pressures and forces were measured for the complete grasp duration (8s) and for the plateau phase (5s). Measures of maximal tactile pressures and forces were reported using the highest value among three repeat trials, the mean of two repeat trials, and the mean of three repeat trials. Reliability was determined using changes in mean, coefficients of variation and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Pearson correlation coefficients were used to evaluate concurrent validity. Results: Changes in mean were very good, coefficients of variation were good to acceptable and ICCs were very good to good for maximal tactile pressures using the highest value among three repeat trials and the mean of three repeat trials for the complete grasp duration (8s) and for the plateau phase (5s) in the dominant hand with and without vision and in the non-dominant hand without vision for within-day and between-day sessions. Maximal tactile pressures had moderate to large correlations with grip strength. Conclusion: The TactArray device demonstrates satisfactory reliability for maximal tactile pressures during a sustained grasp for within-day and between-day testing sessions in both hands. Validity was satisfactory with grip strength in both hands.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 18:58:47 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47873 Fri 03 Feb 2023 15:04:00 AEDT ]]>
