Optimal exercise dose in adults with chronic low back pain disorders: systematic review with dose-response network meta-analysis

Objective To quantify exercise dose-response relationships and estimate the optimal dose in adults with chronic low back pain disorders (CLBDs). Design Systematic review with random-effects model-based (non-linear) dose-response network meta-analysis. Risk of bias was assessed wi...

Percentile-Based Normative Standards for Strength Assessment Beyond Linear Bodyweight Multipliers in Competitive Powerlifters

Abstract Background Bodyweight multipliers (BM = L/M, where L denotes the absolute load lifted in kilograms and M the athlete's recorded body mass) represent the dominant benchmarking heuristic in strength and conditioning. However, because relative strength declines non-linearly...
