Summary: This pilot study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an individualized aerobic exercise program according to a newly developed training guide (B-FIT) in individuals with neuromuscular diseases. The results suggest that the program is feasible and has the potential to improve physical fitness in NMD patients. However, some barriers need to be addressed before further investigation in a randomized controlled trial.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of land-based exercise therapy on physical activity in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The findings suggest that walking and mixed-exercise programs can improve physical activity in the short-term for KOA patients, while resistance-training alone does not have a significant impact. Combining resistance-training with education may increase physical activity in the medium-term, highlighting the importance of developing more effective long-term interventions for KOA patients.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of cardiac rehabilitation on changes in functional capacity among patients with cardiovascular disease and a comorbidity of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The results of the study showed that patients with cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus experienced less improvement in functional capacity after cardiac rehabilitation compared to patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Summary: As VR and AR technologies have become cheaper and more accessible, researchers have shown increased interest in finding practical applications in various fields such as entertainment, healthcare, and rehabilitation. This study provides an overview of the scientific literature on VR, AR, and physical activity (PA). A bibliometric analysis of studies published between 1994 and 2022 was conducted and revealed an exponential increase in scientific production. The results identify the United States as the leading country in co-authorship networks, with Kerstin Witte as the most prolific author and Richard Kulpa as the most prominent. The research shows great thematic diversity, with a focus on concepts such as rehabilitation, cognition, training, and obesity.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of Instagram on exercise identity and physical activity levels. The results indicated that an increase in PA-related Instagram posts and fitness-related followings were associated with a greater sense of exercise identity, leading to higher levels of physical activity.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review to analyze the relationship between physical training variables and glycemic control in individuals with T2DM. The results showed that aerobic, resistance, and combined training interventions were associated with reductions in HbA1c and fasting glucose. However, the diversity of the physical exercise intervention protocols investigated in the studies limited the generalizability of the evidence.

Summary: Participation in community exercise training programs after discharge from the hospital can benefit stroke patients in physical, social, and psychological aspects, improving their quality of life. However, there is a lack of studies on stroke survivors participating in exercise training programs in the Republic of Korea. This trial aims to investigate the effectiveness of such programs for stroke patients referred to a community exercise center after discharge.

Summary: This study evaluated the validity and test-retest reliability of physical activity trackers for estimating energy expenditure during walking in individuals with stroke. The results showed a low correlation between the physical activity trackers and indirect calorimetry. The test-retest reliability was high. Further research is needed to improve the validity of physical activity trackers in individuals with stroke.

Summary: The meta-analytical review showed that Pilates interventions have positive impacts on both the physiological and psychological health parameters of older adults, regardless of their health condition. Pilates can improve muscle strength, balance, endurance, and psychological health parameters in older adults. However, the substantial heterogeneity within the included studies complicates standardized comparison between different training modalities.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the prevalence and severity of physical activity barriers among manual wheelchair users, and found that health-related barriers were inversely related to physical activity level, while organizational and community barriers were rated as particularly severe. These results can guide the design of future interventions to increase physical activity levels among manual wheelchair users.

Summary: Preoperative exercise training may reduce postoperative complications and improve quality of life in patients undergoing vascular surgery. However, the evidence for preoperative exercise training in abdominal aortic aneurysm patients is currently not robust enough, and more high-quality trials are needed to establish its clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of pre-meal whey protein consumption on acute food intake and subsequent energy balance in males of healthy-weight or living with overweight and obesity. The results showed that whey protein reduced energy intake at the next meal without upregulating compensatory behaviors in both healthy-weight and overweight/obese males. However, the chronic effects of whey protein on body composition and weight loss still need to be elucidated.

Summary: This study explored exercise experiences and perceptions after engaging in a combined impact and resistance training program, from both the intervention and control group viewpoints. The study found that lack of confidence and knowledge, fears surrounding physical ability and symptoms, and unaddressed issues contributed to transitioning to inactivity. Exercise participation has reported benefits in strength, mental well-being, physical fitness, and self-management strategies, while work-related tiredness and other commitments were reported as barriers. The findings are important for integrating exercise guidelines into the clinical pathway and supporting self-management options for individuals with Crohn's disease.
