The Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is an established submaximal exercise assessment designed to quantify functional exercise capacity in diverse populations. By measuring the distance a subject can walk ...

Philadelphia, June 15, 2022 – Researchers identified a greater increase in functional capacity, the ability to perform activities of daily living, as a result of Nordic walking in patients with ...

Use of a mobile app was not associated with better cardiac outcomes or completing a cardiac rehabilitation program. Prior studies have shown the potential of mobile apps in transforming cardiac rehab, ...

Objective To identify the optimal dose and type of physical activity to improve functional capacity and reduce adverse events in acutely hospitalised older adults. Design Systematic review and ...

Structured walking programs that boost step rate may offer a simple, measurable way to enhance functional independence for older adults facing frailty. Study: Walking cadence as a measure of activity ...

In a recent longitudinal study published in Scientific Reports, researchers from Brazil investigated the potential association between dynapenia (loss of muscle strength and power) with functional ...
