Design and methods of a multi-component physical activity program for adults with intellectual disabilities living in group homes
Publication date: Available online 3 August 2016 Source:Journal of Exercise Science & Fitness Author(s): Bik C. Chow, Wendy Y.J. Huang, Peggy H.N. Choi, Chien-yu Pan Adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) often live a sedentary lifestyle and have higher rates of overweight and obesity. The purpose of this report is to describe the design and methods of a multi-component physical activity (PA) intervention program that aims to increase PA levels in adults with ID who live in group homes. The study employed a multi-component delayed treatment control group design involving adults with ID who lived in two gr...

Heel –toe running: A new look at the influence of foot strike pattern on impact force
Conclusion The unique observation of this study was that impact force was different when participants were instructed to run with either an Obvious-HS or a Subtle-HS at contact. Both these foot strike patterns would have been considered rear foot strike patterns, suggesting that something other than which specific part of the foot strikes the ground initially influenced impact force.

Effects of protein addition to carbohydrate –electrolyte solutions on postexercise rehydration
Conclusion These results suggest that during the 4 hours' recovery after a 60-minute run, the CW solution was more effective for rehydration compared with the CE or CC solution. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)

A hard/heavy intensity is too much: The physiological, affective, and  motivational effects (immediately and 6 months post-training) of unsupervised perceptually regulated training
Conclusion The motivational processes associated with RPE 13 regulated exercise (greater competence and autonomy and more positive affect) potentially explain the maintained fitness in this group. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)

Policy, environment, and worksite fitness program participation among financial enterprise employees in Taiwan
Conclusion The influential factors of social support and worksite environment could predict the employees' participation in the physical fitness programs and leisure-time physical activities. Health promotion policy and equipment attenuated the negative effects of nonparticipation as well as amplified the positive effects of participation. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)

When does it all go wrong? Longitudinal studies of changes in moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity across childhood and adolescence
Conclusion Although gaps in the evidence remain, particularly from low- to middle-income countries, and additional longitudinal studies are required, this review suggests that efforts to promote and/or maintain MVPA should begin well before adolescence.

Physiological responses and exercise preference between the Trikke and the bicycle ergometer
Conclusion Participants were more efficient in using the Trikke than the bicycle ergometer. The Trikke may be an enjoyable alternative for those individuals, particularly women, who have lost interest in traditional forms of exercise. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)

Acute effects of whole-body vibration with resistance exercise on postexercise blood pressure and oxygen consumption in prehypertensive adults
Conclusion Compared with RE alone, a single bout of WBV + RE resulted in a greater postexercise hypotension response and higher EPOC. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)

Effect of plantar cutaneous inputs on center of pressure during quiet stance in older adults
Conclusion The findings indicate that mechanical facilitation of sensation on the plantar soles enhanced postural stability in older adults. The results show that plantar cutaneous inputs provide information that leads to reduced postural sway in healthy older adults. This could have implications in clinical and rehabilitative areas.

The influence of basketball dribbling on repeated high-intensity intermittent runs
Conclusion The results suggest that the Yo-Yo IE2 test could reflect the repeatability of high-intensity intermittent basketball dribbling performance, while dribbling skills may have different influences on high-intensity intermittent exercise capacity in adolescent players at different ages.

Maximal repetition performance, rating of perceived exertion, and muscle fatigue during paired set training performed with different rest intervals
Conclusion When performing agonist–antagonist PS, prescribing a shorter rest interval between PS may induce higher levels of fatigue, albeit with similar total repetitions versus a longer rest interval. (Source: Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness)
