Field-based vital-capacity changes following a 12-week athletic skills model-informed curriculum: a retrospective non-randomised comparison in one Chinese primary school

This retrospective non-randomised comparison examined routine school records from 1,214 students in Grades 2–6 (607 per condition) in one urban public primary school in Southwest China. Curriculum allocation occurred at the level of 28 pre-existing physical-education (PE) teachin...

The lymphatic system in tendon injury and repair: a dual-axis framework and therapeutic prospects

The lymphatic system may influence tendon repair through interstitial transport, immune coordination and lymphatic endothelial cell-derived signalling, but tendon-specific evidence remains limited. This structured critical narrative review searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and Web...

Longitudinal associations between physical exercise and psychological resilience among college students: A random-intercept cross-lagged panel model

Physical exercise is closely associated with psychological resilience, yet the temporal direction and within-person dynamics of this relationship remain unclear. This study examined the longitudinal association between physical exercise and psychological resilience among Chinese...

A wearable closed-loop insulin micropump toward a miniaturized artificial pancreas for diabetes

The application of a fully autonomous artificial pancreas faces fundamental constraints from the bulky mechanical drives of conventional insulin pumps and the spatially separated glucose sensing unit. Herein, we report a wearable closed-loop insulin micropump that enables a minia...

Effects of suspension training and bodyweight resistance training on neuromuscular power, sprint, and agility performance in untrained male adolescents: a three-arm randomized controlled trial

This study compared suspension training (ST) and bodyweight resistance training (RT) with a control condition (CON) for physical performance in untrained male adolescents. Seventy-two participants (age 14.74 ± 0.32 years) were randomized equally to ST, RT, or CON. One participant...

Biomechanical relevance, validation design, and reported performance of wearable sensor-based stroke classification in racket sports: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Wearable sensors are increasingly used for stroke and action classification in racket sports, yet reported performance may reflect not only model capability but also sensor placement, validation design, participant-level dependence, and potential data leakage. This systematic rev...

PE-class-referenced body surveillance scores and physical activity enjoyment: a four-wave random-intercept cross-lagged panel study of female university students

Background: Objectification theory suggests that monitoring one’s body from an observer’s perspective may undermine rewarding movement experiences. This study examined between-person and within-person prospective associations between a physical education (PE)-class-referenced bod...

A comparative study of gait parameters and body composition in athletes and sedentary individuals

This cross-sectional investigation was undertaken to explore and compare the potential distinctions in segmental body composition and gait characteristics-encompassing plantar pressure distribution and spatiotemporal parameters-between young male athletes engaged in dynamic, high...

Glutaredoxin 1 facilitates colitis recovery by controlling glutathionylation and activity of STAT6 in M2 macrophages

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by oxidative stress and intractable inflammation. Current therapeutic strategies are far from satisfactory because of its not fully understood pathogenesis. M2 macrophages can promote inflammation resolution and tissue repair, and...

Impact of verbal encourager’s sex on exercise performance during an incremental load test

This study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of verbal encourager sex (male vs. female) on exercise performance and physiological responses in healthy males during a maximal incremental ramp exercise test. A randomized, single-blind, crossover controlled design was emplo...

Evolutionary game analysis of family–school–community collaboration in child outdoor physical exercise

The widespread insufficiency of children’s outdoor physical exercise has become a critical issue affecting children’s physical health development and school physical education quality. The crux lies not in the absence of any single actor, but in the lack of a stable coordination...
