The Relationship Between Dysfunctional Breathing and Physical Fitness in Older Adults: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study.

DB is an underrecognized factor associated with reduced physical fitness in older adults, particularly affecting endurance, strength, and mobility, and Routine screening for DB may support more targeted rehabilitation strategies to preserve functional independence in aging populations.

Physical fitness factors associated with change-of-direction performance in primary schoolchildren: the role of muscular strength, flexibility, and sex

Change-of-direction (COD) performance is an important component of motor performance during childhood and depends on multiple physical capacities. However, the associations of muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility with COD performance, and the potential moderating role of sex, remain insufficiently...

Longitudinal and reciprocal relationships between physical activity, physical fitness, executive functions, and arithmetic fluency in adolescents

The relationship between physical health and academic outcomes in adolescents is well-established, but the directionality and reciprocal nature of these associations remain unclear. Given the foundational role of mathematical skills in academic success, this study aims to analyze the reciprocal and longitudinal r...

NORMAL VERSUS FAST TIMED UP AND GO IN OLDER ADULTS WITH LOW PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE: ASSOCIATIONS WITH HANDGRIP STRENGTH AND MUSCLE-RELATED ANTHROPOMETRIC MARKERS

The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is widely used to assess functional mobility in older adults, but it remains unclear whether the fast condition provides more clinically relevant information than the normal condition in those with low physical performance. This study compared normal TUG (TUGN) and fast TUG (TUGF) between...
