BACKGROUND The effectiveness of Pilates exercise for treating people with chronic low back pain (CLBP) is yet to be established. Understanding how to identify people with CLBP who may benefit, or not benefit, from Pilates exercise and the benefits and risks of Pilates exercise will assist in trial design. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to establish a consensus regarding the indicati...

• Interactions between movement, sleep & other non-movement behaviors in pathogenesis of childhood obesity • Clock genes as regulators of metabolic rhythms: interlinking locomotory activity, food-seeking behavior and thermal regulation • Role of sleep and circadian disruption on energy expenditure and in metabolic predisposition to human obesity and cardiometabolic risks • SMART approaches for ...

Long-term exercise is associated with improved performance on a variety of cognitive tasks including attention, executive function, and long-term memory. Remarkably, recent studies have shown that even a single bout of aerobic exercise can lead to immediate improvements in declarative learning and memory, but less is known about the effect of exercise on motor learning. Here we sought to determ...

The study was designed to determine if spatial location of movement was automatically encoded in memory by children with intellectual disabilities (ID) and typically developing (TD) children. Each participant performed motor exercises at each of four selected locations on a 20X20 m field. The condition variable consisted of intentional position-intentional exercise, incidental position-intentio...

Despite the large number of studies that have examined the acute effects of different warm up modalities (WU) on physical performance, none of them have documented the time course of potential performance recovery in tennis players. The aim of this study was twofold: (a) to analyze and compare the acute effects of two different WU modalities (traditional WU [TWU] and dynamic WU [DWU]) on physic...
