Achtergrond: Sedentair gedrag en een lage lichamelijke activiteit kunnen het herstel na een kniearthroplastiek (KA) bij patiënten in de werkzame leeftijd beïnvloeden. Deze hypothesegenererende studie onderzoekt of perioperatieve niveaus van lichamelijke activiteit samenhangen met de tijd tot volledige …

Introductie: Adolescente voetballers die aspireren het elite­niveau te bereiken, volgen doorgaans een duale carrière. Daarnaast maken zij een snelle fysieke en psychologische ontwikkeling door binnen unieke sociale omgevingen. Niet-trainingsgerelateerde stressoren, zoals onderwijstaken, kunnen stress …

Objective To determine the association between physical activity (PA; duration and intensity) and patient and clinical outcomes at various measurement occasions post dysvascular major lower limb amputation (LLA). Methods In this multicenter longitudinal observational study, the PA levels of adults who …

Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on people’s mental health and levels of physical activity, especially in older adults who are more vulnerable. Although it has been five years since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many older adults still face direct and indirect negative …

Background: The Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA) Europe network was established in 2005 to promote physical activity (PA) related research, policy, and practice across the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region. It was founded on early recognition of the essential role of regular PA …

Background: As populations age, maintaining physical activity (PA) is essential to reduce chronic disease risk and preserve functional independence in older adults. Technology-supported interventions, such as wearables, mobile applications, and web-based platforms, have emerged as effective tools to …

INTRODUCTION: Physical Activity (PA) is essential for enhancing the physical function of pre-frail and frail older adults. However, among this group, PA-levels vary significantly. Identifying the factors contributing to these differences could support tailored PA interventions. This study aims to examine …

Introduction The cardiovascular biomarkers troponin T, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, and fibroblast growth factor 23 are elevated in hemodialysis patients and associated with an increased cardiovascular mortality risk. Nocturnal hemodialysis improves the fluid status in hemodialysis patients. …

Insufficient physical activity (PA) is a significant global concern among adolescents. The relationship between PA avoidance and loneliness has not been thoroughly investigated, nor have these variables been examined concurrently. The present longitudinal study utilized cross-lagged mediation analysis …

Introduction Supporting patients to achieve healthy physical activity (PA) levels can enhance meaningful participation. However, interventions rarely result in sustained PA. There is a need for person-centred approaches that integrate patients' unique contexts and link them with principles of behavioural …
