Summary: This study aimed to explore the predictive value of muscle endurance and fatigue on changes in activities of daily living (ADL) and gait speed in older adults aged 80 and older. The study found that low muscle endurance combined with high self-perceived fatigue can predict changes in ADL after a 1-year follow-up.

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: This study retrospectively analyzed 863 exercise test records to evaluate the relationship between ventilatory threshold (VT) and (V)over dotO(2peak), (V)over dotO(2)R, HRR, and RPE. The results showed significant variations in VT at different (V)over dotO(2peak) levels, and the VT%(V)over dotO(2)R followed a U-shaped curve. These findings contribute to the understanding of exercise prescription for individuals with different (V)over dotO(2peak) values.

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 found that the perception of unimpaired performance in activities of daily living is a significant barrier to appropriate help-seeking behavior for acute stroke patients. Patients who perceive only minor impairment in ADL are less likely to use EMS, leading to undertreatment and less improvement in clinical symptoms even when experiencing stroke symptoms.

Summary: Health facilities contribute to increased life expectancy among the elderly population, but also raise the risk of falls. This paper proposes a fall detection method based on anomaly detection in time series, using the TCHA model to learn features from videos. The results show a superior performance of the proposed method compared to existing ones for unseen falls.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between functional capacity (including instrumental activities of daily living, intellectual activity, and social function) and future decline in nutritional status. The results showed that low functional capacity was significantly associated with deterioration in nutritional status, and decline in instrumental activities of daily living was an independent risk factor for nutritional risk, while intellectual and social activities were not significant.

Summary: This study examines the mediating effect of swallowing ability on hemoglobin levels and activities of daily living (ADL). The results show that hemoglobin levels at the time of transfer to the rehabilitation ward directly affect swallowing ability before discharge, and swallowing ability before discharge directly affects ADL one month after discharge. Therefore, improving hemoglobin levels and swallowing ability can simultaneously enhance ADL performance.

Summary: This study aimed to establish reference standards for peak rating of perceived exertion (RPE) using the 6-20 Borg scale in treadmill and cycle tests. Analysis of 9551 tests revealed statistically significant differences in RPE between age groups, but the mean and median RPE for each sex, age group, and test mode were between 18 and 19. Moreover, 83% of participants met the traditional RPE criteria for indicating sufficient maximal effort.

Summary: This review examined the effects of exercise interventions using portable exercise equipment on muscle strength, balance, and ability to perform activities of daily living in the oldest-old and frail. The results suggested that both single-component and multicomponent exercise interventions had positive effects on muscle strength and balance in older adults.

Summary: The study showed that IP significantly reduced mean arterial pressure during metaboreflex activation, likely due to a reduced end diastolic volume. MP was significantly higher during IP compared to SHAM treatment, while PPT showed no significant differences. MP remained unchanged during exercise but was significantly lower during PEMI following IP.

Summary: This study describes the application of SDT as a potential strategy to reduce the negative effects of sleep deprivation on ultraendurance performance. Although further research is needed, preliminary results suggest that SDT may have beneficial effects on sleepiness and perceived mental effort during prolonged running.

Summary: This meta-analysis investigates the effect of pharmacologically blocking muscle afferents on the perception of effort. The results reveal heterogeneity between different groups, suggesting that the inclusion of perceptions other than effort influences the ratings of perceived effort. The group with effort dissociated showed a slight increase in perceived effort with reduced muscle afferent feedback, while the group with effort not dissociated and the unclear group did not show conclusive results.

Summary: This study aims to integrate existing knowledge in the performance field and determine the cognitive mechanisms underlying performance under pressure through expert consensus. The results identify ten important constructs, including attention, cognitive control, arousal and regulatory systems, and working memory. The expert consensus highlights the importance of standardizing cognitive assessment and informing interventions in optimizing human performance.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the construct validity and test-retest reliability of two cognitive-motor interference tests in military contexts. The results showed significant impairments on running distance and number of words recalled in the dual-task condition. Additionally, shorter step length and higher step frequency were found during loaded marching in the dual-task condition. In conclusion, the Running + Word Recall Task test is a valid and reliable dual-tasking test for assessing cognitive-motor interference in military contexts.

Summary: This commentary provides insights into current and future trends in world-class endurance training, focusing on the accessibility of scientific knowledge for coaches and athletes, integration of practical and scientific exchange, and utilization of new technological advances. Future improvements are expected in the extensive use of advanced technology for monitoring and prescribing training and recovery, more precise use of environmental and nutritional interventions, better understanding of athlete-equipment interactions, and greater emphasis on injury and illness prevention.
