Summary: The study aimed to understand the physiological and perceptual responses of the elderly to cold water ingestion or menthol mouth rinse in hot weather. The findings suggest that elderly individuals experience lower physiological strain during activities when consuming cold water, but their perception of the hot environment did not differ significantly from the control group.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate if ADL task performance of frail elderlies can be assessed by an activity measurement based on an acceleration sensor integrated into a smartwatch, and to what degree kinematic parameters would be task independent. The results showed that ADL task performance can be assessed by smartwatch-based measures and further showed task-independent differences between the three levels of frailty. Frail elderly individuals' ADL performance was more impaired by physiological deficiencies than by cognitive functioning or sensorimotor control.

Summary: SPHERE is a multidisciplinary project aimed at researching and developing a sensor network for home healthcare through activity monitoring. This dataset includes data collected from a SPHERE sensor network deployment in Bristol, UK, during 2016, involving scripted and non-scripted activities of daily living. It provides ground-truth labels for posture, ambulation, activity, and location, making it a valuable resource for developing and evaluating algorithms for identifying activities of daily living.

Summary: This study explored the relationships between activities of daily living (ADL) and categorization skills in older people. It found that individuals with cognitive impairment performed poorly in categorization tasks, and there was a high correlation between cognitive functioning and the performance of ADLs.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the influence of changes in exercise status, nutritional status, and a number of comorbidities on functional ability in Taiwanese community-dwelling older adults. The results revealed that current exercise and consistent exercise were negatively associated with subsequent decline in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). The Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score was negatively associated with subsequent decline in IADL, while the number of diseases was positively associated with subsequent decline in IADL. Consistency of exercise, MNA score, and the number of chronic diseases are good predictors of decline in IADL.

Summary: Activity Recognition is a method to identify specific activities from a set of actions, commonly used in smart home environments to monitor the health of elderly individuals. Recognizing daily activities remains challenging due to the unpredictable behaviors of elderly individuals. This study proposes an Artificial Intelligence-based prediction model for Activities of Daily Living, which achieves high accuracy compared to other supervised learning algorithms.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of heat acclimation in the young and elderly following exercise, as well as post-exercise hot water immersion heat acclimation. The results showed that heat acclimation induced improvements in thermoregulation, perception, and exercise performance, regardless of age or intervention. Both exercise-induced heat acclimation and post-exercise hot water immersion are considered viable interventions to prepare the elderly for heat stress.

Summary: Compared with urban areas, rural elderly in China have limited access to medical and health resources. They often experience decline in activities of daily living (ADL) and depressive symptoms. The depressive symptoms of rural elderly are often overlooked, making it difficult to achieve high-level active aging at the individual level. This study aimed to explore the effects of ADL and depressive symptoms on the active aging of rural elderly through a survey and analysis of mediation and interaction effects.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the positive effects of drinking herbal tea and tea on activities of daily living (ADL) in the elderly. The study used data from the Chinese longitudinal healthy longevity survey (CLHLS) and divided the participants into three groups based on their frequency of consuming herbal tea and tea. The results showed that frequent consumption of herbal tea could effectively reduce the incidence of ADL disability, while the effect of tea drinking was relatively weaker.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of sleep quality in the relationship between activities of daily living (ADLs) and depression. The results showed that ADLs and sleep quality were positively associated with depression among the elderly. Sleep quality played a significant mediating role in the influence of ADLs on depression in the elderly in nursing homes. Therefore, timely detection and efficient interventions to promote physical function and improve sleep quality among the elderly in nursing homes are recommended.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the level of limitations in activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living among elderly individuals with severe aortic stenosis. The results indicated that a history of heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, physical function, and cognitive decline were significantly related to declines in instrumental activities of daily living.

Summary: This study found that ocular lesions, neurological manifestations, and arthritis affect the activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with Behcet's disease. Patients with ocular lesions or neurological manifestations are more likely to require physical assistance.

Summary: This study evaluated the functional capacity in patients with NDD-CKD using the Glittre-ADL test and found a correlation between TGlittre time and handgrip strength (HGS) as well as physical activity level (PAL). Incorporating the TGlittre into the evaluation of these patients may improve risk stratification and personalized care.

Summary: Fire service instructors have higher levels of inflammatory markers compared to firefighters, with the number of fire exposures positively related to health issues and inflammation. Implementing a monthly exposure limit could help reduce health risks associated with frequent fire exposures.

Summary: Repeated sprint ability is an important aspect of team sports. This study aimed to evaluate the development and causes of fatigue during and after a cycle repeated sprint exercise. The results showed that muscle power and activation levels decreased at the beginning of the sprints, while muscle contraction ability plateaued after 40% of the sprints. Unlike peripheral parameters, central fatigue recovered within 3 minutes. These findings highlight the importance of reducing delays in neuromuscular fatigue assessment post-exercise.
