Social anxiety, physical exercise, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and social avoidance among junior high school students: a cross-sectional study

This study examined the cross-sectional associations of physical exercise (PE), regulatory emotional self-efficacy (RESE), and social avoidance (SAV) with social anxiety (SA) among junior high school students. A school-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 817 students...

Human Subcutaneous Adipose Transcriptomes Link Mitochondrial Transcription to Metabolic Heterogeneity in Obesity

Background: Metabolically healthy obesity and metabolically unhealthy obesity may occupy different positions along a continuum of adipose-tissue dysfunction, but stable molecular distinctions remain uncertain. Methods: We integrated three public human subcutaneous-adipose-tissue...

A kinematic-muscle hybrid synergy-assisted EMG-driven NMSK model for muscle activation and joint moment prediction with minimal sensors

Cross-country sit-skiing relies heavily on upper-limb power, with double poling (DP) propulsion generated by coordinated pole forces and trunk rotation. Estimating shoulder and elbow joint moments and muscle forces during DP is crucial for technique optimization and injury-risk r...

Unlocking action and well-being: how just-in-time adaptive exercise prompts shape happiness through reduced sedentary time and greater behavioral consistency

Abstract This study examined whether a rule-based just-in-time adaptive exercise intervention improved subjective well-being by reducing sedentary time and increasing behavioral consistency in daily movement. Using a microrandomized trial design, 160 adult women were enrolled in...

Safety, efficacy and acceptability of human-GenAI single-session exposure-based intervention for academic anxiety: randomized controlled trials

Generative AI (GenAI) may expand access to exposure therapy, a gold-standard anxiety treatment, but its safety, efficacy, and acceptability remain untested. We developed a hybrid human–GenAI single-session exposure program targeting academic anxiety and evaluated it across two ra...

Exercise as a Multisystem Adjunct for Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease: Inflammatory Mechanisms, Muscle–Liver Crosstalk, and Translational Gaps

Background: Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) involves ethanol-related metabolic injury, inflammation, gut–liver dysfunction, and progressive loss of skeletal muscle and functional reserve. Exercise could influence several of these pathways, but ALD-specific evidence remains...

From pre-service to sustained innovation: phased professional growth of exemplary rural PE teachers

Physical education (PE) teachers in rural China face unique challenges, often entering the profession through self-directed learning with limited institutional support. While existing stage-based models derive primarily from urban contexts, rural trajectories remain underexplored...

Effects of different training modalities on lower-limb explosive power, acceleration, 20-m sprint performance, and change-of-direction ability in youth soccer players: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Youth soccer players repeatedly perform explosive actions, short accelerations, linear sprints, decelerations, and multidirectional movements. However, the comparative effects of different structured physical-conditioning programmes remain uncertain. Seven databases were searched...

Effects of open-skill and closed-skill exercise on subdomains of executive function in healthy older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Executive-function decline can compromise independence in later life. Exercise may support executive function, but whether open-skill exercise confers greater benefits than closed-skill exercise across domains remains uncertain. Methods PubMed, Embase, the Coc...

Efficacy and safety of blood flow restriction exercise training in adults aged 60 years and older: an umbrella review of systematic reviews

Blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise may permit older adults to train at lower mechanical loads. Interpretation of the review literature is complicated by heterogeneous age boundaries, BFR and exercise prescriptions, effect metrics, safety definitions and primary-study overlap....

Effects of psychological interventions on competitive anxiety and athletic performance in golfers: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Competitive anxiety is common in golf and can negatively affect athletic performance. Psychological interventions are widely used to manage competitive anxiety and enhance performance; however, evidence specific to golfers has not yet been systematically synth...

Mindfulness as a moderator of the association between physical activity enjoyment and academic burnout through self-control in Chinese primary school students

This study aims to examine the association between physical activity enjoyment and academic burnout, testing the mediating role of self-control and the moderating effect of mindfulness in the mediation model. Participants were drawn from twelve primary schools in China using conv...

Multimodal synthesis of neural correlates of motor imagery after spinal cord injury: a systematic review

Spinal cord injury (SCI) profoundly disrupts motor output while also reshaping central motor systems. Motor imagery (MI) provides a valuable window into retained motor-related neural processes because it enables investigation of covert motor state generation in the absence of ove...

Anti-movement core training modulates abdominal antagonist co-activation and enhances trunk rotational kinematics in amateur golfers

This randomised controlled trial investigated the effects of an 8-week anti-movement core training programme on phase-specific abdominal antagonist co-activation (CoA) and thorax-pelvis kinematics in amateur golfers. Participants were randomly allocated to an Experimental group (...

Comparison of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression and posterior lumbar interbody fusion for geriatric patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis and spinal stenosis

The optimal surgical strategy for geriatric patients with mild degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) and lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) remains controversial. Although percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) offers the advantages of minimal invasiveness, some olde...

Anthropometric PHV-prediction models versus skeletal age in elite Chinese U12–U13 male soccer players: a cross-sectional study

Assessing biological maturity in youth soccer helps reduce maturity-related selection bias. Anthropometric peak height velocity (PHV) prediction models provide non-invasive, repeatable tools for maturity monitoring, but their performance relative to skeletal-age (SA) indicators r...

Randomized controlled trial of GenAI coach feedback efficacy, acceptability and mechanisms in anxiety worry logs

Abstract Anxiety disorders are prevalent worldwide, yet access to evidence-based interventions remains limited. Digital worry-log interventions are scalable, but unguided use may limit engagement and efficacy, while human-delivered feedback may improve outcomes, yet is labor-inte...

Longitudinal association of dynamic changes in perceived family environment profiles and psychological problems among children: a latent transition analysis

Abstract This study aimed to identify distinct profiles of children’s perceived family environments and examine how these profiles and their transitions are associated with psychological symptoms. Data were drawn from 9,786 children (mean age = 9.92 years; 47.8% female; 55.7% Whi...
