Article Abstract
Background: Exercise-induced complete atrioventricular block (EIAVB) is a rare cardiac conduction abnormality presenting challenges in diagnosis due to non-specific symptoms such as exertional dyspnoea, dizziness, and syncope.
Case Summary: We present a case of a 76-year-old female with recurrent exercise-associated syncope. Non-invasive exercise testing played a crucial role in diagnosing her condition, revealing EIAVB and underscoring its importance in patients with cardiovascular risk factors.
Discussion: This case provides insight into the pathophysiology of EIAVB, including altered atrioventricular nodal refractoriness and exercise-induced ischaemic imbalances. It highlights the need for heightened clinical vigilance in diagnosing exercise-related syncope, especially in pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. This case underscores the critical importance of non-invasive testing for diagnosing EIAVB, highlighting the necessity of thorough evaluation in patients presenting with ambiguous symptoms and cardiovascular risks. Consequently, it advocates for adherence to guidelines to enhance outcomes and reduce the need for unnecessary invasive procedures.

The six-minute walk test (6-MWT) assesses functional exercise capacity in interstitial lung disease (ILD), providing key prognostic and functional insights. Logistical challenges, such as space and time limitations, limit its clinical use. The one-minute sit-to-stand test (1-MSTST) has emerged as a practical, space- and time-efficient alternative reflecting similar functional capacity.

Background: Exercise-induced muscle soreness and fatigue are significant barriers to physical activity in middle-aged women with type 2 diabetes (T2D), exacerbated by impaired tissue healing and chronic inflammation.
Objectives: To evaluate whether post-exercise therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) effectively reduces exercise-induced muscle soreness and fatigue while improving metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in women with T2D.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Exercise-induced vasculitis, also known as the Disney rash or Golfer's vasculitis, is a benign, self-limiting, cutaneous small vessel vasculitis that can develop following prolonged physical activity, especially in hot weather. A 65-year-old female teacher with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia contacted her family physician via email regarding a one-day history of a bilateral lower limb rash. Her medications included metformin and atorvastatin.

The effect of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) on three-dimensional side cut biomechanics and task achievement were assessed in 16 team sport athletes (eight males and eight females) who completed 45° side cuts before and 48 h after multidirectional running. Angular displacement and joint moments of the hip and knee, and GRF impulse (IGRF) during five successful trials of a 45° side cut, were collected using a 3D motion capture system and force platform at both timepoints. At 48 h, participants had more knee internal rotation (p = 0.

Backgrounds: The effects of exercise interventions on gait parameters and fear of falling (FOF) have been under-explored and the influence of FOF on exercise-induced adaptations of gait parameters is unclear. This interventional and comparative pilot study aimed to explore the influence of FOF status on gait parameters changes following a multicomponent exercise intervention in community-dwelling older adults at risk of mobility disability and implemented in routine care.
Methods: One-hundred five older adults (80.
