Factors associated with physical activity among patients eligible for cardiac rehabilitation: a qualitative studyTo optimize recovery following a cardiac event, Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) is often recommended. Currently, CR is mostly offered as a standardized program, consisting of exercise therapy, …

This study aimed to evaluate the associations between playground features andutilization. Researchers assessed the features of 38 playgrounds using the Play Space Audit Tool (PSAT). They monitored how children (0–12 y) used the playground. The associations between the PSAT scores and playground utilization …

Key summary points Aim To reach consensus on terminology, organisational aspects, and outcome domains of geriatric rehabilitation for older people living at home. Findings In three rounds, an international panel reached a consensus regarding the term “home-based geriatric rehabilita tion” to distinguish …

OBJECTIVE: This scoping review aimed to gather current knowledge on accurately identifying and distinguishing between non-frail, pre-frail, and frail older adults using gait and daily physical activity (DPA) parameters and/or models that combine gait with DPA parameters in both controlled and daily life …

This dissertation describes the dynamics of motor competence (MC) development from early childhood (EC) to middle childhood (MCD).

We developed a lesson where students construct a qualitative representation to learn how clock genes are regulated. Qualitative representations provide a non-numerical description of system behavior, focusing on causal relation-ships and system states. They align with human reasoning about system dy-namics …

Brain disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy have been linked to an imbalance in excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) inputs in the brain. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying E/I balance and plasticity in the brain are largely unresolved. Inhibitory synapses have a strong impact on brain …
