Movement inefficiency and/or impaired stability and mobility increase athletic injury risk.
- •
The movement system screening tool was developed to assess athletic injury risk factors.
- •
The presented novel screen is a valid and reliable assessment of movement performance.
- •
Hip/knee flexion was associated with runners anterior reach distance in the modified star excursion balance test.
- •
Hip flexion was associated with the posteromedial and knee flexion with the posterolateral reach.
- •
Hip extensor strength was associated with posteromedial, posterolateral and composite reaches.
- •
Trunk kinematics and strength were not associated with runners’ performance in this test.
- •
The effects of hypertension on physical function should be considered.
- •
Compared to normotensives hypertensives had slower processing speed.
- •
Balance and mobility was decreased more in hypertensives than normotensives.
- •
The fear of falling was higher in the hypertensives compared to normotensives.
- •
Clinicians should include preventive and rehabilitative strategies in hypertensives.
- •
Tonus, strength, and motor coordination are associated with walking speed reserve.
- •
LEMOCOT may be used to predict walking speed reserve.
- •
Exercises aimed at improving lower limb motor coordination may have the potential to improve walking speed reserve.
- •
Posture influences cardiovascular responses during isometric handgrip exercise.
- •
STANDING promotes higher cardiovascular stress when compared to SITTING and/or SUPINE.
- •
CAD promoted higher arterial pressure responses (systolic and mean arterial pressure), but it was expected.
- •
Isometric handgrip exercise can be prescribed to clinically stable CAD patients, with cardiovascular monitoring.
- •
Wheelchair basketball players with shoulder pain get localized pain sensitivity.
- •
Basketball players without shoulder pain had similar pressure pain sensitivity.
- •
Elite wheelchair basketball players with shoulder pain get active trigger points.
- •
The referred pain elicited by active trigger points reproduced shoulder pain.
- •
Basketball players without shoulder pain get similar latent trigger points.
- •
Prospective brain connectivity was evaluated in male high school football players.
- •
Three athletes sustained complete ACL ruptures.
- •
Twelve healthy athletes were matched based on school, age, height, weight, and grade.
- •
Our sample (n = 3) of ACL-injured athletes exhibited prospective decreased connectivity.

We discuss augmenting ACL prevention programs with sensorimotor-based training.
- •
Three quarters of acute hip fracture patients were able to fully adhere with an Early Inpatient Exercise Program (EIEP).
- •
Living at home, absence of disability/cognitive impairment and comorbidities before an acute hip fracture is associated with Early Inpatient Exercise Program adherence.
- •
Early Inpatient Exercise Program adherence is an independent predictor of one-year survival in patients with acute hip fracture in community dwelling.
- •
It is important to evaluate dynamic balance ability during fall risk assessment.
- •
The Mini-BESTest was the strongest individual predictor of falls in PD.
- •
Individuals with scores less than 21.5/28 had 70.7% greater chance of falling.
- •
The high operational cost of implementing CPET hampers its use.
- •
Ventilometry combined to ergometric test can be used for estimating V˙ O2max.
- •
We analyzed the reliability of ventilometry for estimating V˙ O2max.
- •
We presented two reliable equations for estimating V˙ O2max.
