Sample size was not determined to detect potential treatment effect modifiers.
- •
Sedentary behaviour is characterised by a seated or reclined posture with a low energy expenditure of 1.0–1.5 metabolic equivalents (METS) during waking hours.
- •
Too much sitting behaviour is associated with health deficits in the adult population.
- •
There has been less examination of sedentary behaviours in people with COPD and bronchiectasis.
- •
There was no difference in the high sedentary time between people with COPD and bronchiectasis.

No significant associations between sedentary time and functional performance or health-related quality of life were present.
- •
Unloader brace did not change co-contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles.
- •
Unloader brace produced changes in gluteal and gastrocnemius timing and amplitude, however, the clinical relevance is unclear.
- •
There were no differences between adjusted and unadjusted brace conditions.
- •
Brazilian physical therapists had positive attitudes regarding evidence-based practice.
- •
Personal characteristics were poorly associated with evidence-based practice.
- •
Organizational characteristics could be the main barriers for evidence-based practice.
- •
Potential strategies to improve evidence-based practice should include mentoring and research-related activities.
- •
Different weekly frequencies of Pilates did not accelerate pain improvement.
- •
Most patients reduced pain in 30% and 50% after the first week of treatment.
- •
Most patients reported complete pain improvement after the last week of treatment.

CKD patients commonly develop muscle atrophy with an impairment of exercise tolerance.

Randomized control trial with high-intensity IMT (70% MIP) for 5 weeks can reverse respiratory muscle strength loss.
- •
Five weeks of IMT did not change exercise capacity or vascular function.
- •
Overall confidence of reviews of exercise for low back pain was very low.
- •
Higher confidence was found in Cochrane reviews and reviews with registered protocol.
- •
Confidence in the results is important to generate unbiased clinical recommendations.
- •
