Objectives

Strategies to reduce Achilles tendon forces during running may be beneficial for injury prevention. Increasing ground contact time could reduce Achilles tendon forces during running but may also elicit changes in cadence that could offset these reductions. The purpose of this study was to determine if changing ground contact time altered Achilles tendon forces during running, with both a fixed and a free cadence.

Design

This was a cross-sectional study of healthy rearfoot strike runners.

Methods

Thirty rearfoot strike runners ran on a concrete sidewalk at 3.0 m/s with preferred, low, and high ground contact times, with both a fixed and a free cadence. Achilles tendon forces were estimated using data collected from Loadsol insoles.

Results

Peak Achilles tendon force, cumulative Achilles tendon fatigue load, and Achilles tendon impulse were compared among ground contact time and cadence conditions. Peak Achilles tendon force and cumulative Achilles tendon fatigue load decreased as ground contact time increased. These changes occurred with both a fixed and a free cadence.

Conclusions

Increasing ground contact time may be a viable intervention for decreasing peak Achilles tendon force and cumulative Achilles tendon fatigue load in runners, without the need for additional instructions to control cadence.
目的:在跑步过程中减少跟腱力量的策略可能有利于损伤预防。增加与地面接触的时间可以减少跑步时跟腱的力量,但也可能引起节奏的变化,从而抵消这些减少。本研究的目的是确定在固定节奏和自由节奏下,改变地面接触时间是否会改变跑步时跟腱的力量。设计:这是一项健康后脚打击跑者的横断面研究。方法:30名后脚着地跑者在混凝土人行道上以3.0 m/s的速度跑,他们有首选的、低的和高的地面接触时间,有固定的和自由的节奏。使用Loadsol鞋垫收集的数据估计跟腱力。结果:比较不同地面接触时间和节奏条件下的跟腱峰值力、累积跟腱疲劳负荷和跟腱冲量。峰值跟腱力和累积跟腱疲劳载荷随接触地面时间的增加而减小。这些变化既有固定的节奏也有自由的节奏。结论:增加与地面接触的时间可能是降低跑步者跟腱力峰值和累积跟腱疲劳负荷的可行干预措施,而不需要额外的指导来控制节奏。

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the impact of menstruation on sport participation among girls in the early years of their menstrual cycle.

Design

Mixed methods online survey.

Methods

Girls aged between 10 and 16 yrs. were invited to participate in an online survey promoted through two sports governing bodies in Australia (Swimming Victoria and Little Athletics Victoria). The participants completed a 30-item questionnaire, capturing demographics, behaviours, menstrual symptoms and experiences during training and competition.

Results

A total of 464 participants responded to the survey. Fatigue (n = 236, 88.4 %), mood (n = 238, 89.1 %), and pain (n = 231, 87.5 %) were the most frequently reported symptoms. Girls perceived their sports experience was affected by their periods, reporting changes in skill (n = 280; 90.9 %), participation effort (n = 238; 77 %) and attendance (n = 180; 58.3 %). Menstruation disrupted training (62.8 %) and/or competition (33.3 %) attendance, especially among individual sport participants (p < 0.038). Participants were unable to change their period protection when needed (training: 61.3 %; competition 75.4 %) and worried about menstrual blood leaking through uniform clothes (training: 89.8 %; competition: 91.5 %). Participants (n = 48; 18.1 %) worried about their period to the point they considered dropping out and these participants were significantly likely to report bowel symptoms (p = 0.045), missed training (p = < 0.001) and competition (p < 0.001), and perceived changes in skill (p = < 0.001), participation effort (p = < 0.001) and attendance (p = < 0.001).

Conclusions

The menstrual cycle impacted girls' sport participation, with a range of symptoms reported and disruptions to training and competition. This study provides data to inform future strategies to better support girls to manage their early years of menstruation in organised sport.

Objectives

This pre-planned secondary analysis examined the effects of a running intervention on mental health symptoms and pain catastrophising in adults with chronic low back pain.

Design

Two-arm parallel individual randomised (1:1) controlled trial.

Methods

This study randomised 40 adults (mean [standard deviation] age: 33 [6] years, female: 50 %) with non-specific chronic low back pain to a 12-week running (progressive run–walk interval exercise training) intervention (n = 20) or waitlist control (n = 20). Outcomes were mental health symptoms (21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale) and pain catastrophising (Pain Catastrophising Scale). Data were collected at baseline, six, and 12 weeks post-baseline. Separate linear mixed models with random effects (participants) evaluated within- and between-group changes.

Results

At 12 weeks post-baseline, running improved overall mental health symptoms (estimated marginal mean net difference [95 % confidence interval] points: − 4.35 [− 7.73, − 0.97], P = 0.012), depression symptoms (− 1.75 [− 3.42, − 0.08], P = 0.040), stress symptoms (− 1.65 [− 3.01, − 0.29], P = 0.017), and pain catastrophising (− 7.85 [− 11.98, − 3.72], P < 0.001), yet not anxiety symptoms (− 0.95 [− 2.16, 0.26], P = 0.122), compared with control.

Conclusions

Running improved mental health symptoms and pain catastrophising among adults with non-specific chronic low back pain when compared to waitlist control. Differences in pain catastrophising, yet not mental health symptoms, were clinically meaningful. Running appears to be an efficacious treatment for psychological comorbidities common among adults with non-specific chronic low back pain.
目的:这项预先计划的二次分析检查了跑步干预对慢性腰痛成人心理健康症状和疼痛灾难的影响。设计:双臂平行个体随机对照试验。方法:本研究将40名患有非特异性慢性腰痛的成年人(平均[标准差]年龄:33岁,女性:50 %)随机分为12周的跑步(渐进式跑走间歇运动训练)干预组(n = 20)或候补组(n = 20)。结果是心理健康症状(21项抑郁、焦虑和压力量表)和疼痛加重(疼痛加重量表)。在基线后 周、6周和12周收集数据。单独的线性混合模型与随机效应(参与者)评估组内和组间的变化。结果:12 周post-baseline,运行改进的整体心理健康症状(估计边际意味着净差异(95 %置信区间)分:-4.35 (-7.73,-0.97),P = 0.012),抑郁症状(-1.75 [-3.42,-0.08],P = 0.040),压力症状(-1.65 [-3.01,-0.29],P = 0.017),和痛苦catastrophising (-7.85 [-11.98, -3.72], P 结论:与候补名单对照组相比,跑步改善了非特异性慢性腰痛成人的心理健康症状和疼痛灾难。疼痛灾难的差异,而不是心理健康症状的差异,具有临床意义。跑步似乎是一种有效的治疗心理合并症常见的成人非特异性慢性腰痛。

Objectives

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of lumbo–pelvic–hip complex strengthening and/or stabilisation exercises, with and without isolated pelvic floor muscle training, on postpartum pelvic floor health. Specifically, effects on pelvic floor muscle strength, endurance, activity, and pelvic floor dysfunction symptom severity were analysed.

Design

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials was conducted. Studies were included if they investigated ≥4-week lumbo–pelvic–hip complex interventions on pelvic floor outcomes in postpartum women, included a comparator, and were published in English.

Methods

Five databases were searched to October 2024. Eleven randomised controlled trials (n = 503) met the inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis assessed changes in pelvic floor muscle strength, endurance, and pelvic floor dysfunction symptom severity following lumbo–pelvic–hip complex interventions, both with and without pelvic floor muscle training. This study was registered on PROSPERO, number CRD42023446995.

Results

Lumbo–pelvic–hip complex exercises with isolated pelvic floor muscle training significantly improved endurance (mean difference = 5.51 seconds) and strength (mean difference = 0.43 on the Modified Oxford Scale). However, reductions in pelvic floor dysfunction symptom severity (standardised mean difference = − 0.95) were not statistically significant.

Conclusions

Lumbo–pelvic–hip complex strengthening exercises, particularly when combined with isolated pelvic floor muscle training, may enhance pelvic floor strength and endurance in postpartum women. However, their impact on pelvic floor dysfunction remains inconclusive. Further research should evaluate the effectiveness of lumbo–pelvic–hip complex exercises as a standalone therapy for improved pelvic floor health.
目的:本系统综述和荟萃分析考察了腰-骨盆-髋关节复合体强化和/或稳定训练,以及是否进行孤立的盆底肌肉训练,对产后盆底健康的影响。具体来说,对盆底肌肉力量、耐力、活动和盆底功能障碍症状严重程度的影响进行了分析。设计:对随机对照试验进行系统评价和荟萃分析。如果这些研究调查了产后妇女骨盆底结果≥4周的腰-骨盆-髋关节复合干预,包括比较研究,并以英文发表,则纳入研究。方法:检索至2024年10月的5个数据库。11项随机对照试验(n = 503)符合纳入标准。一项荟萃分析评估了腰-骨盆-髋关节复合干预后盆底肌肉力量、耐力和盆底功能障碍症状严重程度的变化,无论是否进行盆底肌肉训练。本研究已在PROSPERO上注册,编号CRD42023446995。结果:腰-骨盆-髋关节复合运动与孤立的盆底肌肉训练显著提高耐力(平均差值 = 5.51 秒)和力量(修正牛津量表平均差值 = 0.43)。然而,盆底功能障碍症状严重程度的降低(标准化平均差 = -0.95)无统计学意义。结论:腰-骨盆-髋关节复合强化训练,特别是与孤立的盆底肌肉训练相结合,可以提高产后妇女的盆底力量和耐力。然而,它们对盆底功能障碍的影响仍不确定。进一步的研究应该评估腰盆髋复合运动作为改善盆底健康的独立疗法的有效性。

Objectives

To explore differences in beliefs towards running in adults with and without chronic low back pain.

Design

This convergent mixed methods cross-sectional study compared adults with chronic low back pain (n = 39) to pain-free adults with a history of chronic low back pain (n = 28) and a low back pain naive control group (n = 71).

Methods

Beliefs towards running (activity specific beliefs questionnaire; range: 1–4 points), pain intensity (101-point visual analogue scale), disability (Oswestry Disability Index), and habitual physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) were analysed. Reflexive thematic analysis examined free-text responses regarding activity specific beliefs.

Results

Participants were primarily male (53 %) and had a mean (SD) age of 50 (9) years. The chronic low back pain group reported running was less safe than low back pain naive controls (mean difference [95 % confidence interval]: − 0.32 [− 0.61, − 0.03] points, P = 0.028). Among participants with chronic low back pain who reported a variation of running as unsafe (n = 27), 93% limited how much running they did because of this belief. Thematic analysis identified three themes: (a) running is unsafe due to the impact it imparts on the spine, (b) running is natural and has many health benefits, and (c) numerous factors determine the safety of running.

Conclusions

Individuals with chronic low back pain hold more negative beliefs towards running compared to individuals with no history of low back pain and these negative beliefs limited participation in running. Targeting negative beliefs towards running may facilitate greater uptake of running and guideline-based physical activity.
目的:探讨有和没有慢性腰痛的成年人对跑步的看法差异。设计:这项融合混合方法横断面研究比较了患有慢性腰痛的成年人(n = 39)、有慢性腰痛病史的无痛成年人(n = 28)和腰痛初发对照组(n = 71)。方法:对跑步信念(活动特定信念问卷,范围:1-4分)、疼痛强度(101分视觉模拟量表)、残疾(Oswestry残疾指数)和习惯性体育活动(国际体育活动问卷)进行分析。反身性主题分析检查了关于活动特定信念的自由文本反应。结果:参与者主要为男性(53. %),平均(SD)年龄为50(9)岁。慢性腰痛组报告跑步的安全性低于腰痛初期对照组(平均差异[95 %置信区间]:-0.32[-0.61,-0.03]分,P = 0.028)。在报告跑步不安全的慢性腰痛参与者中(n = 27),93%的人因为这种信念而限制了他们的跑步量。专题分析确定了三个主题:(a)跑步是不安全的,因为它对脊柱有影响;(b)跑步是自然的,对健康有许多好处;(c)许多因素决定了跑步的安全性。结论:与没有腰痛病史的人相比,慢性腰痛患者对跑步有更多的消极信念,这些消极信念限制了他们对跑步的参与。针对跑步的负面信念可能会促进更多的跑步和基于指导的身体活动。

Objectives

This study examined the association between physical activity and chronic kidney disease incidence among participants with cardiovascular metabolic disease.

Design

A prospective cohort study of 224,269 cardiovascular metabolic disease participants from the UK Biobank, with chronic kidney disease incidence as the primary outcome.

Methods

The association between physical activity and chronic kidney disease was evaluated using Cox models, assessing volume, intensity, duration, frequency, type, and walking speed. An isotemporal substitution model estimated the effect of replacing light physical activity with moderate or vigorous physical activity. Latent class analysis identified optimal physical activity patterns.

Results

Over a median follow-up of 12.9 years, 10,142 participants developed chronic kidney disease. Compared with light physical activity, moderate and vigorous physical activity reduced incident chronic kidney disease by 13 % and 21 %, respectively. Substituting light with vigorous physical activity was linked to an 11 % risk reduction. Moderate physical activity (3–5 or 6–7 days/week) resulted in risk reductions of 9 % and 7 %, respectively, while vigorous physical activity (3–5 days/week) led to a 20 % reduction. Aerobic exercise reduced chronic kidney disease risk by 20 % versus light Do It Yourself. Compared to slow-paced walkers, those with steady average (hazard ratio, 0.70; 95 % confidence interval: 0.66–0.75) or brisk pace (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95 % confidence interval: 0.56–0.66) had significantly lower risks. The optimal activity for cardiovascular metabolic disease participants is vigorous physical activity 15–60 minutes/day or light physical activity 30–60 minutes/day, 3–5 days/week.

Conclusions

Physical activity is associated with a lower chronic kidney disease risk in cardiovascular metabolic disease participants.
目的:本研究探讨了心血管代谢疾病参与者中体力活动与慢性肾脏疾病发病率之间的关系。设计:一项来自UK Biobank的224269名心血管代谢疾病参与者的前瞻性队列研究,以慢性肾脏疾病发病率为主要终点。方法:采用Cox模型评估体力活动与慢性肾脏疾病之间的关系,评估运动量、强度、持续时间、频率、类型和步行速度。一个等时间替代模型估计了用中度或剧烈的体育活动代替轻度体育活动的效果。潜类分析确定了最佳的体育活动模式。结果:在中位随访12.9 年期间,10,142名参与者患上了慢性肾脏疾病。与轻度体力活动相比,中度和剧烈体力活动分别减少了13% %和21% %的慢性肾病发病率。以剧烈的体育活动代替光照与11% %的风险降低有关。适度的身体活动(3-5或6-7 天/周)分别导致风险降低9 %和7 %,而剧烈的身体活动(3-5 天/周)导致风险降低20 %。有氧运动与轻度的“自己做”运动相比,可以降低20% %的慢性肾脏疾病风险。与慢速步行者相比,平均步行者(风险比,0.70;95 %置信区间:0.66-0.75)或快节奏步行者(风险比,0.61;95 %置信区间:0.56-0.66)的风险显著降低。心血管代谢疾病参与者的最佳活动是剧烈运动15-60 分钟/天或轻度运动30-60 分钟/天,3-5 天/周。结论:在心血管代谢疾病患者中,体育活动与较低的慢性肾脏疾病风险相关。

Objectives

Physical exercise can transiently decrease pain intensity within a single session and improve physical capacities while reducing pain over a training program. However, the pain trajectory throughout a concurrent physical training program remains unknown. This study aimed to model the pain trajectory during a training program including both aerobic and resistance exercises, considering both acute (within-session) and chronic (across-program) effects of physical exercise.

Design

Prospective observational study.

Methods

Participants completed a 14-week training program (42 sessions; n = 28) or were assigned to a waiting list (n = 29). In the exercise group, low back pain intensity was measured before and after each training session. Pain intensity in the past week was measured before and after the 14-week period in both groups. The pain trajectory was modeled using linear mixed-effects with a quadratic term to capture potential non-linear pain reduction.

Results

Past week pain decreased only in the exercise group (exercise: 4.9 ± 0.3 vs 2.5 ± 0.3; control: 5.6 ± 0.3 vs 5.3 ± 0.3). The pain trajectory was characterized by a linear and a quadratic term (p's < 0.001), suggesting pain reduction is greater early in the training program. Pain intensity decreased after each training session (p < 0.001) with this effect remaining constant throughout the program (non-significant interactions, p's > 0.585).

Conclusions

Pain decreases more markedly during the initial weeks of the program. Acute exercise-induced hypoalgesia persisted throughout the program, suggesting patients may use physical exercise to manage pain flare-ups even after several weeks of training.
目的:体育锻炼可以在一次训练中短暂地减轻疼痛强度,提高身体能力,同时减少疼痛。然而,在同时进行的体育训练项目中疼痛的轨迹仍然未知。本研究旨在模拟包括有氧运动和阻力运动在内的训练项目中的疼痛轨迹,同时考虑到体育锻炼的急性(课程内)和慢性(跨课程)影响。设计:前瞻性观察研究。方法:参与者完成了为期14周的培训计划(42次;N = 28)或被分配到等待名单(N = 29)。在运动组中,每次训练前后测量腰痛强度。测量两组患者在14周前后一周的疼痛强度。疼痛轨迹采用线性混合效应建模,并采用二次项来捕捉潜在的非线性疼痛减轻。结果:过去一周疼痛仅在运动组减轻(运动:4.9 ± 0.3 vs 2.5 ± 0.3;对照:5.6 ± 0.3 vs 5.3 ± 0.3)。疼痛轨迹以线性和二次项为特征(p's  0.585)。结论:疼痛在治疗的最初几周明显减轻。急性运动引起的痛觉减退在整个项目中持续存在,这表明即使在几周的训练后,患者也可以通过体育锻炼来控制疼痛的突然发作。

Objectives

Sport-related concussions are a global health concern. Athletes consistently underreport sport-related concussions, and knowledge and attitudes about sport-related concussions vary between levels of sport competition and according to a range of factors. It is unclear how concussion knowledge and attitudes relate to reporting behaviours amongst community sport athletes. The current study aimed to i) investigate how concussion history and gender influence concussion perceptions, and ii) examine how concussion history, and knowledge and attitudes towards the injury influence reporting behaviours.

Design

Cross-sectional design.

Methods

Participants were over 18 years (n = 375; 174 woman, 194 man, 6 non-binary, 1 no response) and participated in community sport in Australia. Participants completed an online survey about their concussion history, perceptions, knowledge, attitudes, and reporting behaviours of sport-related concussions.

Results

Hierarchical regression highlighted that those with a concussion history view sport-related concussions to be more serious than those with no concussion history, and that men were more likely to agree that their actions could control the effects of sport-related concussion symptoms. Logistic regression revealed no significant relationship between concussion knowledge and reporting behaviours (p = 0.081 to 0.960), but significant relationships between attitudes towards concussion and reporting behaviours were present (p ≤ 0.018). Lastly, significant relationships (p ≤ 0.040) between concussion history and reporting behaviours were found for seven of the 13 reporting behaviours.

Conclusions

These findings highlight the importance of athlete attitudes towards sport-related concussions within Australian community sport.
目的:与运动有关的脑震荡是一个全球性的健康问题。运动员总是少报与运动有关的脑震荡,对与运动有关的脑震荡的认识和态度因体育比赛水平和一系列因素而异。目前尚不清楚脑震荡的知识和态度与社区体育运动员的报告行为之间的关系。本研究旨在i)调查脑震荡史和性别如何影响脑震荡认知,ii)研究脑震荡史、对损伤的认识和态度如何影响报告行为。设计:横断面设计。方法:参与者年龄在18岁以上 (n = 375;174名女性,194名男性,6名非二元,1名无反应),参加澳大利亚社区体育运动。参与者完成了一项关于他们脑震荡历史、认知、知识、态度和报告运动相关脑震荡行为的在线调查。结果:层次回归显示,有脑震荡史的男性认为运动相关脑震荡比没有脑震荡史的男性更严重,男性更倾向于认为他们的行为可以控制运动相关脑震荡症状的影响。Logistic回归显示,脑震荡知识与报告行为之间无显著相关(p = 0.081 ~ 0.960),但对脑震荡的态度与报告行为之间存在显著相关(p ≤ 0.018)。最后,在13种报告行为中,有7种脑震荡史与报告行为之间存在显著关系(p ≤ 0.040)。结论:这些发现强调了澳大利亚社区体育中运动员对运动相关脑震荡的态度的重要性。

Objectives

There are numerous examples in the literature where researchers use multiple-regression models to predict ratio standards despite known dangers associated with such methodologies. The solution, to use allometric models, also appears to have been ignored, for example, when predicting cardiorespiratory fitness, using the ratio standard VO2max (ml·kg−1·min−1).

Design

Cross-sectional.

Methods

This case-study compares a previously published multiple regression equation to predict VO2peak (ml·kg−1·min−1) that adopted additive predictors of body mass index (kg·m−2) and a 6-minute run/walk test, with an alternative multiplicative allometric model given by VO2peak (l·min−1) = Mk1 · HTk2 · 6WRTk3 · exp(a + b · age + c · age2) · ε, thought to provide a more interpretable model, as well as providing a superior quality-of-fit.

Results

The strong association between VO2peak (l·min−1) and body mass also identified the presence of heteroscedasticity, a characteristic in data that can be resolved using allometry. The allometric model explained over 90 % of the variance (R2 = 0.91) compared to less than 60 % (R2 = 0.58) reported by the original study. The allometric model's results also appear more interpretable, with a positive mass exponent similar to that previously reported in the literature M0.66 based on sound physiological grounds. The positive height exponent can also be explained given that taller children have greater lung function. Finally, the age quadratic identified that children's VO2peak peaks during puberty.

Conclusions

This case study provides powerful evidence that allometric models are more interpretable and provide a superior fit compared with multiple regression models when predicting ratio standards. Note that a simple algebraic adjustment enables researchers to predict the ratio standard VO2peak (ml·kg−1·min−1) without further analyses.
目的:在文献中有许多例子,研究人员使用多元回归模型来预测比率标准,尽管已知与这种方法相关的危险。使用异速模型的解决方案似乎也被忽视了,例如,在预测心肺健康时,使用比例标准VO2max (ml·kg-1·min-1)。设计:横断面。方法:本案例研究比较先前发表的多重回归方程来预测VO2peak (ml·公斤·最低为1),采用添加剂预测身体质量指数(公斤·m - 2)和一个6分钟的跑步/步行的速度测试,与另一个乘法异速生长的模型由VO2peak (l·最低为1) = Mk1 · HTk2 · 6 wrtk3 · exp( + b · 年龄 + c · age2) · ε,认为提供一个更可说明的模型,以及提供一个优越的配合等级。结果:vo2峰(l·min-1)与体重之间的强相关性也表明了异方差的存在,这是一种可以用异速测量法解决的数据特征。异速生长模型解释了90 %以上的方差(R2 = 0.91),而原始研究报告的方差不足60 % (R2 = 0.58)。异速生长模型的结果似乎也更易于解释,其正质量指数与先前基于良好生理基础的文献M0.66相似。身高指数为正也可以解释为身高较高的儿童肺功能更强。最后,年龄二次曲线发现,儿童的vo2峰值出现在青春期。结论:本案例研究提供了强有力的证据,证明异速生长模型在预测比率标准时比多元回归模型更具可解释性和更好的拟合性。请注意,一个简单的代数调整使研究人员能够预测比例标准vo2峰(ml·kg-1·min-1),而无需进一步分析。

Objectives: In people with multiple sclerosis (PWMS), exercise improves aerobic capacity and muscle strength which are key components of physical function and overall health status. However, the effects diminish after exercise cessation. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate whether exercise booster sessions (EBS) could preserve the exercise-induced improvements.

Design: Multicentre RCT.

Methods: Ninety-four PWMS performed 12 weeks of aerobic-training (AT) or resistance-training (RT) and were subsequently randomised to receive EBS (two sessions every fifth week) (ATboost n = 24, RTboost n = 24) or usual-care (ATuc n = 20, or RTuc n = 26) for 40 weeks. The primary outcome was physical function measured as a composite score of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and five-time sit-to-stand test (5STS). Secondary outcomes were aerobic capacity and muscle strength.

Results: No between-group difference was observed in the composite score of 6MWT and 5STS (arbitrary unit) between ATboost and RTboost 0.00 [-0.20; 0.20]. No between-group difference was observed for aerobic capacity (mL O2/kg/min) between ATboost and ATuc 1.1 [-1.9; 4.1], although a within-group change was observed for ATboost -1.9 [-4.0; 0.1], but not for ATuc -3.0 [-5.2; -0.8]. No between-group difference was seen for muscle strength (Nm/kg) between RTboost and RTuc -0.04 [-0.36; 0.28]. Also, no within-group change was observed for neither RTboost -0.07 [-0.30; 0.14] nor RTuc -0.04 [-0.27; 0.20].

Conclusions: EBS had no apparent effect on preservation of physical function, aerobic capacity, or muscle strength in PWMS. Muscle strength was preserved regardless of group, whereas only ATboost preserved exercise-induced improvements in aerobic capacity.

目的:在多发性硬化症(PWMS)患者中,运动可以提高有氧能力和肌肉力量,这是身体功能和整体健康状况的关键组成部分。然而,在停止运动后,效果会减弱。因此,本研究旨在探讨运动增强会话(EBS)是否可以保持运动诱导的改善。设计:多中心随机对照试验。方法:九十四pwm执行12 周的有氧训练(在)或耐力(RT)和随后的随机接受EBS(两会每第五周)(ATboost n = 24日RTboost n = 24)或常规治疗(ATuc n = 20,或者RTuc n = 26)40 周。主要终点是身体功能,以6分钟步行测试(6MWT)和5次坐立测试(5STS)的综合得分来衡量。次要结局是有氧能力和肌肉力量。结果:ATboost与RTboost的6MWT、5STS(任意单位)综合评分0.00 [-0.20;0.20]。ATboost和ATuc 1.1在有氧能力(mL O2/kg/min)方面无组间差异[-1.9;4.1],但ATboost -1.9组内有变化[-4.0;0.1],但不适合ATuc -3.0 [-5.2;-0.8]。RTboost和RTuc的肌肉力量(Nm/kg)组间无差异-0.04 [-0.36;0.28]。此外,RTboost -0.07 [-0.30;0.14] RTuc -0.04 [-0.27;0.20]。结论:EBS对PWMS患者的身体功能、有氧能力或肌肉力量的保存没有明显的影响。各组均能保持肌肉力量,而只有ATboost能保持运动诱导的有氧能力改善。
