Objective

The permanent workers in university settings often face occupational deformities and pains due to prolonged standing and heavy lifting, leading to postural disorders. Combined with poor sleep quality, these problems significantly affect their daily performance, productivity and overall quality of life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between body awareness, sleep quality and quality of life among permanent workers at Sakarya University of Applied Sciences.

Methods

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 114 permanent workers aged 18–60 years. Data collected from participants were collected using a sociodemographic information questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, Richard's Campbell Sleep Scale for sleep, Body Awareness Questionnaire for body perception and SF36 Quality of Life Scale for quality of life.

Results

The mean age of the participants was 40.90 ± 8.76 years, 20.2 % were female and 79.8 % were male. Significant positive correlations were found between SF36 energy level and sleep-wake cycle (p = 0.043), sleep depth and quality (p = 0.002, p < 0.001). Additionally, higher body awareness was found to be associated with better sleep quality (p = 0.049), suggesting that as body awareness increases, sleep quality and overall energy levels during the day also increase.

Conclusion

Improving body awareness and sleep quality can positively impact the quality of life and work productivity of permanent workers. The interventions that focus on posture correction and sleep improvement can lead to better occupational health outcomes.

目的高校常住职工因长时间站立和搬运重物，经常出现职业畸形和疼痛，导致体位障碍。再加上睡眠质量差，这些问题会严重影响他们的日常表现、工作效率和整体生活质量。本研究的目的是调查萨卡雅应用科学大学的固定员工的身体意识、睡眠质量和生活质量之间的关系。方法对114名18 ~ 60岁常住职工进行描述性横断面研究。研究人员使用社会人口学信息问卷、视觉模拟疼痛量表（VAS）、理查德·坎贝尔睡眠量表（Richard’s Campbell Sleep Scale）、身体感知问卷（Body Awareness questionnaire）和SF36生活质量量表（SF36 Quality of Life Scale）收集参与者的数据。结果患者平均年龄40.90±8.76岁，女性占20.2%，男性占79.8%。SF36能量水平与睡眠-觉醒周期（p = 0.043）、睡眠深度和睡眠质量（p = 0.002, p < 0.001）呈正相关。此外，更高的身体意识被发现与更好的睡眠质量有关（p = 0.049），这表明随着身体意识的增强，睡眠质量和白天的整体能量水平也会提高。结论提高身体意识和睡眠质量对常住职工的生活质量和工作效率有积极影响。以纠正姿势和改善睡眠为重点的干预措施可以带来更好的职业健康结果。

Background

Cancer is a chronic condition characterized by the unregulated proliferation of cells due to genetic mutations. While chemotherapy is the primary treatment option, it offers both advantages and drawbacks. Due to a lack of physical strength, patients encounter challenges in carrying out everyday tasks during their hospitalization and in the period following their discharge. Consequently, individuals who have survived cancer are engaging in structured physical exercises with the goal of enhancing muscle strength and enhancing their overall well-being. To examine the impact aerobic capacity on endurance, fatigue, depression, sleep quality, physical function, and pain in cancer patients.

Methods

A Systematic literature review was conducted by searching PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) for articles using English descriptors indexed in the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS). Included articles were published between 2012 and 2022.

Results

A total of 27 articles involving 2467 cancer survivors were analyzed. Eight key parameters related to health-related quality of life were assessed. The findings demonstrated that physical activity had a positive influence on the following aspects in cancer survivors: Aerobic capacity, Endurance, Fatigue, Depression, Sleep quality, Pain, Physical function, Emotional function.

Conclusion

This Systematic literature review reveals that graded physical exercises play a vital role in improving the overall health and well-being of cancer survivors. Engaging in physical activity not only enhances physical health but also contributes to mental stabilization, ultimately enhancing the health-related quality of life in cancer survivors.

癌症是一种慢性疾病，其特征是由于基因突变导致细胞不受调节的增殖。虽然化疗是主要的治疗选择，但它既有优点也有缺点。由于缺乏体力，患者在住院期间和出院后的一段时间内，在执行日常任务时遇到了挑战。因此，那些从癌症中幸存下来的人正在进行有组织的体育锻炼，目的是增强肌肉力量，提高他们的整体健康水平。研究有氧能力对癌症患者耐力、疲劳、抑郁、睡眠质量、身体功能和疼痛的影响。方法通过检索PubMed、MEDLINE、Cochrane和物理治疗证据数据库（PEDro），检索以医学主题词（MeSH）和健康科学描述词（DeCS）为索引的英文描述词的文章，进行系统文献综述。纳入的文章发表于2012年至2022年之间。结果共纳入27篇文献，共纳入2467例癌症幸存者。评估了与健康相关的生活质量相关的8个关键参数。研究结果表明，体育活动对癌症幸存者的有氧能力、耐力、疲劳、抑郁、睡眠质量、疼痛、身体功能、情绪功能等方面有积极影响。结论本系统的文献综述表明，分级体育锻炼对改善癌症幸存者的整体健康和福祉起着至关重要的作用。参与体育活动不仅可以增强身体健康，还有助于心理稳定，最终提高癌症幸存者的健康相关生活质量。

Introduction

In rowing, strength and power contribute to determining competitive performance in distances of 500 m and 2,000 m.

Objective

In this regard, the aim of the present study was to compare the strength and power output in the Jump Squat (JS) using two load parameterization schemes (40 % of body mass [BM] and 40 % of 1 repetition maximum [RM] of the squat) in young rowers. Materials and methods: Five repetitions were performed with maximum effort and 10-s pauses between each JS. Inferential analysis included multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), and the significance level adopted was 5 %.

Results

As results, differences were observed between conditions in peak (40 %1RM = 573.28 ± 170.47 N; 40 %BM = 449.48 ± 62.38 N; p < 0.001) and mean force (40 %1RM = 383.20 ± 107.91 N; 40 %BM = 295.09 ± 28.60 N; p < 0.001), absolute (40 %1RM = 878.77 ± 294.39 W; 40 %BM = 743.28 ± 194.15 W; p = 0.01) and relative (40 %1RM = 12.00 ± 3.43 W/kg; 40 %BM = 10.18 ± 2.14 W/kg; p < 0.001) peak power, as well as absolute (40 %1RM = 328.08 ± 123.21 W; 40 %BM = 278.43 ± 72.88 W; p = 0.02) and relative (40 %1RM = 4.48 ± 1.46 W/kg; 40 %BM = 3.82 ± 0.82 W/kg; p = 0.01) mean power, with higher values for the 40 %1RM condition. Loads of 40 % of BM were associated with greater amplitude and speed compared to 40 %1RM.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that, for young rowers, using loads relative to 1RM optimizes strength and power output in the JS. In practical terms, if the goal is greater development of the force portion of the Force-Velocity curve, the use of 40 %1RM should be considered.

在赛艇比赛中，力量和力量决定了500米和2000米的比赛成绩。在这方面，本研究的目的是使用两种负荷参数化方案（40%的体重[BM]和40%的1次最大重复[RM]）比较年轻赛艇运动员跳深蹲（JS）的力量和功率输出。材料和方法：以最大努力重复5次，每次JS之间停顿10-s。推断分析采用多变量方差分析（MANOVA），显著性水平为5%。ResultsAs结果,不同观察条件之间的峰值(40% 1 rm = 573.28±170.47 N; 40% BM = 449.48±62.38 N, p & lt; 0.001)和平均力(40% 1 rm = 383.20±107.91 N; 40% BM = 295.09±28.60 N, p & lt; 0.001),绝对(40% 1 rm = 878.77±294.39 W; 40% BM = 743.28±194.15 W; p = 0.01)和相对(40% 1 rm = 12.00±3.43 W / kg; 40% BM = 10.18±2.14 W / kg; p & lt; 0.001)峰值功率,以及绝对(40% 1 rm = 328.08±123.21 W; 40% BM = 278.43±72.88 W;p = 0.02)和相对平均功率（40% 1RM = 4.48±1.46 W/kg; 40% BM = 3.82±0.82 W/kg; p = 0.01），其中40% 1RM条件下的数值更高。与40% 1RM相比，40% BM的载荷与更大的振幅和速度相关。这些发现表明，对于年轻的赛艇运动员来说，使用相对于1RM的负荷可以优化JS的力量和功率输出。实际上，如果目标是更大程度地发展力-速度曲线的力部分，则应考虑使用40% 1RM。

Purpose

Hyperglycemia in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) leads to endothelial and vascular dysfunction, affecting various bodily functions, including psychological well-being, exercise capacity, and pulmonary function. This study investigates the impact of T1DM on quality of life, physical activity, exercise capacity, chronotropic response, pulmonary function, muscle strength, endurance, fatigue, and dyspnea.

Methods

In a cross-sectional study, 27 patients with T1DM and 26 healthy controls were compared. Quality of life World Health Organization (WHO) index, physical activity (metabolic holter), maximal exercise capacity (incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT)), chronotropic incompetence, pulmonary function (spirometer), muscle strength (dynamometer), respiratory muscle strength (mouth pressure device) and endurance (threshold loading test), fatigue (Fatigue Severity scale (FSS)), dyspnea (modified Medical Research Council scale (MMRC)) were evaluated.

Results

WHO index, physical activity levels, chronotropic index, pulmonary function, MIP, MEP, respiratory muscle endurance, FSS, and MMRC scores were similar between groups (p > 0.05). ISWT distance was clinically decreased in patients (p > 0.05). Quadriceps femoris muscle strength was reduced in patients (p < 0.05). 76 % of T1DM patients were inactive based on step counts, and 100 % were less active according to MET values. Also, 11.53 % exhibited chronotropic incompetence, 61.53 % reported severe fatigue, and 15.38 % experienced dyspnea.

Conclusion

Maximal exercise capacity decreased clinically in patients with T1DM, while respiratory muscle strength, endurance, and quality of life remain preserved. Muscle strength declines, with 28 % showing restrictive pulmonary function abnormalities. Thus, directing T1DM patients to exercise training and providing physical activity counseling are recommended.

Objective

To investigate the physiological and perceptual responses to the cardiopulmonary exercise test with elastic resistance (CPxEL), using the traditional treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPx) as the standard reference.

Methods

Twenty-seven physically active adults (57 ± 7 years; both sexes) performed two maximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests in randomized order, seven days apart: treadmill CPx and CPxEL involving back-and-forth movements against elastic resistance. Cardiorespiratory variables, heart rate, and ratings of perceived exertion (central and peripheral) were assessed. A verification phase was performed to confirm maximal physiological responses.

Results

At the first ventilatory threshold (VT1), CPxEL showed higher oxygen uptake (

\dot{V}

O₂) (15.8 ± 3.0 vs 12.7 ± 3.3 ml kg⁻¹·min⁻¹; P = 0.02) and heart rate (HR) (115 ± 12 vs 105 ± 11 bpm; P = 0.01). At the second ventilatory threshold (VT2), peripheral effort was greater for CPxEL (Z = −2.38; P = 0.02). At maximal effort, the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was higher in the CPx (P < 0.05), and peripheral exertion remained higher in CPxEL (Z = −1.97; P = 0.05).

Conclusion

CPxEL is a feasible method for identifying ventilatory thresholds and

\dot{V}

O₂max, and may be applied to prescribing aerobic exercise with elastic resistance in middle-aged adults. However, it elicits distinct physiological and perceptual responses compared with the CPx and the two protocols should not be used interchangeably. Further studies are needed to confirm the accuracy and safety of CPxEL in different clinical populations.

目的以传统的跑步机心肺运动试验（CPx）为标准参照，探讨弹性阻力心肺运动试验（CPxEL）的生理和知觉反应。方法27名身体活跃的成年人（57±7岁，男女）随机进行两项最大心肺运动试验，间隔7天：跑步机CPx和CPxEL，涉及弹性阻力的来回运动。评估心肺变量、心率和感知运动（中枢和外周）的评分。进行验证阶段以确认最大生理反应。结果在第一呼吸阈值（VT1）时，CPxEL的摄氧量（V˙O2）（15.8±3.0 vs 12.7±3.3 ml kg−1·min−1,P = 0.02）和心率（HR）（115±12 vs 105±11 bpm, P = 0.01）均较高。在第二次通气阈值（VT2）时，CPxEL的外周努力更大（Z =−2.38;P = 0.02）。CPx在最大努力时呼吸交换比（RER）较高（P < 0.05）， CPxEL在最大努力时呼吸交换比（RER）较高（Z = - 1.97; P = 0.05）。结论cpxel是一种识别通气阈值和V˙O2max的可行方法，可应用于中年人弹性阻力有氧运动处方。然而，与CPx相比，它引起了不同的生理和知觉反应，两种方案不应互换使用。需要进一步的研究来证实CPxEL在不同临床人群中的准确性和安全性。

Background

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a common condition characterized by recurrent instability, reduced proprioception, and impaired balance, increasing the risk of further injuries. While various rehabilitation strategies exist, evidence comparing the efficacy of aquatic and hopping exercises in improving motor and sensorimotor functions in individuals with CAI remains limited. This study aimed to address this gap.

Methods

In this quasi-experimental study, 53 women with unilateral CAI were allocated to control (n = 18), aquatic exercise (n = 17), or hopping exercise (n = 18) groups. Interventions lasted six weeks (three sessions/week, 45 min/session). Motor function (Fusionetics Scoring System: overhead and single-leg squats), dynamic balance (Y-Balance Test), static balance (Balance Error Scoring System), and proprioception (goniometric evaluation) were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Mixed-design ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests analyzed within- and between-group differences.

Results

Both interventions significantly improved all outcomes compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Proprioceptive errors in dorsiflexion and plantarflexion decreased by 19.69 % and 25.54 % (aquatic) and 24.62 % and 26.67 % (hopping). Dynamic balance improved by 4.39 % (aquatic) and 7.44 % (hopping). Hopping exercises showed superior benefits in single-leg squat performance (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

Both exercise modalities effectively enhance motor and sensorimotor functions in individuals with CAI. Hopping exercises demonstrated greater improvements in dynamic balance and motor control, making them particularly beneficial for athletes or advanced rehabilitation stages. Future studies should explore long-term outcomes and diverse populations.

背景：慢性踝关节不稳定（CAI）是一种常见的疾病，其特征是反复不稳定、本体感觉降低和平衡受损，增加了进一步损伤的风险。虽然存在各种康复策略，但比较水上运动和跳跃运动在改善CAI患者运动和感觉运动功能方面的功效的证据仍然有限。本研究旨在解决这一差距。方法将53例单侧CAI女性患者分为对照组（n = 18）、水上运动组（n = 17）和跳跃运动组（n = 18）。干预持续6周（3次/周，45分钟/次）。运动功能（融合评分系统：头顶和单腿深蹲）、动态平衡（Y-Balance测试）、静态平衡（平衡误差评分系统）和本体感觉（角度评估）在干预前和干预后进行评估。混合设计方差分析和Bonferroni事后检验分析了组内和组间差异。结果与对照组相比，两种干预措施均显著改善了所有结果（P < 0.05）。背屈和跖屈的本体感觉误差分别减少19.69%和25.54%（水生动物）和24.62%和26.67%（跳跃动物）。动态平衡提高了4.39%（水生）和7.44%（跳跃）。跳跃练习对单腿深蹲表现有显著的益处（P < 0.05）。结论两种运动方式均能有效增强CAI患者的运动和感觉运动功能。跳跃练习在动态平衡和运动控制方面表现出更大的改善，使其对运动员或高级康复阶段特别有益。未来的研究应该探索长期的结果和不同的人群。

Background

Joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS)-which was previously named benign JHS- is a condition in which there are musculoskeletal symptoms with generalized hypermobility without any associated connective tissue abnormality or congenital syndrome.

Methods

This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Article databases were reviewed in depth by two researchers blinded to each other. The quality of the articles was evaluated based on the QUADAS-2 tool.

Results

The overall prevalence of JHS was estimated to be 17.2 %, this overall prevalence in boys was 17.9 % and 24.2 % in girls was determined. The main disorders associated with JHS included orthopedic disorders, the main of which were scoliosis, knee injuries, hip dysfunction, jaw dysfunction, and shoulder dysfunction. Among non-orthopedic underlying diseases, the most important underlying disorders included digestive disorders, vesicoureteral reflux, orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and anxiety disorders. The main therapeutic approaches offered to improve JHS included education, mindfulness and body stability training, exercise and physical therapy, psychological counseling, occupational therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, limb splinting, and foot orthosis. These approaches showed promise in managing musculoskeletal symptoms and psychological comorbidities, but evidence on extra-articular systemic symptoms was limited.

Conclusion

JHS is a common disorder among children and adolescents, associated with both orthopedic and non-orthopedic disorders. Supportive treatments, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy appear effective for musculoskeletal and psychological symptoms, though their impact on extra-articular systemic symptoms remains unclear. Further research is needed to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

关节活动过度综合征（JHS），以前被命名为良性JHS，是一种有全身活动过度的肌肉骨骼症状，没有任何相关的结缔组织异常或先天性综合征的疾病。方法本研究遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）。文章数据库由两位互不知情的研究人员进行了深入的审查。采用QUADAS-2工具对文章质量进行评价。结果JHS总患病率为17.2%，其中男孩为17.9%，女孩为24.2%。与JHS相关的主要疾病包括骨科疾病，主要有脊柱侧凸、膝关节损伤、髋关节功能障碍、下颌功能障碍和肩部功能障碍。在非骨科基础疾病中，最重要的基础疾病包括消化系统疾病、膀胱输尿管反流、体位性心动过速综合征和焦虑症。改善JHS的主要治疗方法包括教育、正念和身体稳定性训练、运动和物理治疗、心理咨询、职业治疗、经皮神经电刺激、肢体夹板和足部矫形。这些方法在控制肌肉骨骼症状和心理合并症方面显示出希望，但在关节外全身症状方面的证据有限。结论jhs是儿童和青少年常见疾病，与骨科和非骨科疾病相关。支持性治疗、物理治疗和职业治疗似乎对肌肉骨骼和心理症状有效，但它们对关节外全身症状的影响尚不清楚。需要进一步的研究来优化诊断和治疗策略。

Background

Low back pain (LBP) is a major global health challenge that significantly affects adults worldwide, imposing considerable socio-economic burdens. For physical therapy education, understanding and correcting misconceptions about LBP is vital for developing effective treatment strategies.

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the prevalence of LBP misconceptions among students across various academic disciplines in the United States, including DPT, Nursing, and undergraduate programs, addressing how these misconceptions could affect future clinical practices.

Methods

The study sampled 320 students from DPT, Nursing, and various undergraduate programs within the United States, using convenience sampling for selection. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted using an electronic survey to assess LBP misconceptions. The survey included Likert scale responses to 10 statements on LBP myths. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used for data analysis.

Results

The findings revealed significant misconceptions about LBP across all student groups, with notable disparities among disciplines. DPT students displayed a relatively lower agreement with misconceptions compared to nursing and other undergraduate students. Myths regarding the necessity of scans for diagnosis, the efficacy of aggressive treatments, and beliefs about the causation of LBP were prevalent. Nursing students showed the highest agreement with the myth that LBP will persist and worsen over time.

Conclusion

Misconceptions about LBP are widespread among students in health-related and general academic programs, highlighting a notable gap between current educational content and evidence-based practice. This study underscores the need for curriculum reforms and targeted educational interventions to dispel myths about LBP.

背景：腰痛（LBP）是一项重大的全球健康挑战，严重影响全球成年人，造成相当大的社会经济负担。在物理治疗教育中，理解和纠正对腰痛的误解对于制定有效的治疗策略至关重要。目的本研究旨在调查包括DPT、护理和本科专业在内的美国不同学科学生对LBP的误解，探讨这些误解如何影响未来的临床实践。方法采用方便抽样的方法，对320名来自美国DPT、护理和各种本科专业的学生进行抽样。本横断面观察研究采用电子调查来评估LBP误解。该调查包括李克特量表对10个关于LBP神话的陈述的回答。数据分析采用描述性统计和卡方检验。结果调查结果显示，所有学生群体对LBP存在明显的误解，各学科之间存在显著差异。与护理和其他本科学生相比，DPT学生对误解的认同程度相对较低。关于扫描诊断的必要性，积极治疗的有效性，以及关于腰痛病因的看法普遍存在。护理专业的学生对LBP会持续并随着时间的推移而恶化的说法的认同程度最高。结论在健康相关专业和普通专业的学生中普遍存在对腰痛的误解，这突出了当前教育内容与循证实践之间的显著差距。这项研究强调了课程改革和有针对性的教育干预的必要性，以消除关于LBP的神话。
