Article Abstract
Resistance training (RT) may have a positive impact on specific correlates of physical activity (PA) in inactive and/or obese youth, with strength as a possible underlying mechanism. The aim of this study was to investigate this. Twelve participants (aged 8.9 ± 1.0 years) were assigned to an experimental group (EG) or control group (CG). Pre and post intervention assessments for strength, physical self-perceptions (PSPs), weight status, fundamental movement skills (FMS), and PA levels were completed. The EG participated in a twice-weekly 10-week RT programme. There were significant group x time interactions for FMS (CAMSA total P = 0.016, CAMSA skill score P = 0.036) and stretch stature (P = 0.002) (EG larges changes than the CG). Large effect sizes for the differences in change scores between the EG and CG were evident for CAMSA total score (Hedges' g = 0.830, P = 0.138), CAMSA skill score (Hedges' g = 0.895, P = 0.112) and relative strength (Hedges' g = 0.825, P = 0.140). This study demonstrated that a 10-week RT intervention has a positive effect on strength and FMS, and may also benefit weight status and PSPs. This study supports the development of RT interventions to develop these correlates, and increase PA levels.

Effects of exercise on fatigue and quality of life in multiple sclerosis: a network meta-analysis and systematic review.
J Neurol

College of Physical Education, China West Normal University, Nanchong, China.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of various physical therapy interventions on fatigue and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) using a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases through April 1, 2025. Eligible RCTs compared different exercise interventions in MS patients, focusing on fatigue and quality of life outcomes.

Graduate School of Physical Education, Myongji University, Yongin, Republic of Korea.
Background: High levels of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are associated with high mortality and cardiovascular risk. Physical activity is an affordable intervention that is available to most people, but the type and amount of exercise to induce metabolic benefits in T1D are not known with certainty.
Objective: To determine the comparative effectiveness of diverse exercise modes and dosages to influence HbA1c in patients with T1D.
A Case Series of Young People Receiving Adjunctive Immunotherapy for Neuroimmune-Mediated Major Mood or Psychotic Syndromes.

Background: Neuroimmune processes are often implicated in young people with atypical neuropsychiatric disorders, yet treatment implications remain controversial. This case series details young people with primary psychiatric disorders who received adjunctive immunotherapy after thorough investigation and extensive conventional treatments.
Methods: We evaluated 45 individuals (93% female, ages 12-30 years) with atypical psychiatric presentations suggesting potential neuroimmune involvement.
A drug response prediction method for single-cell tumors combining attention networks and transfer learning.

Introduction: Accurately predicting tumor cell line responses to therapeutic drugs is essential for personalized cancer treatment. Current methods using bulk cell data fail to fully capture tumor heterogeneity and the complex mechanisms underlying treatment responses.
Methods: This study introduces a novel method, ATSDP-NET (Attention-based Transfer Learning for Enhanced Single-cell Drug Response Prediction), which combines bulk and single-cell data.

College of Physical Education and Health Science, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing, China.
Background: French Contrast Training (FCT) is a unique complex training (CT) method that has gained attention in sports science. Participant characteristics, training protocols, and control group types may influence the effects of FCT on lower limb athletic performance.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effects of FCT on jump, sprint, and maximal strength in healthy adults and to identify potential moderators of training effects.
