There was an overall improvement in the average BMI and weight of the participants despite the lack of statistical significance.

Improvements in BMI and weight may still occur, but practitioners should be cautious about interpreting these results as effective.

Practical challenges with CGM device usability warrant attention.

Attention should be given to improving CGM usability to enhance user experience.

Een ongezonde leefstijl is verantwoordelijk voor het grootste verlies aan kwalitatief goede levensjaren.

Gezonde leefgewoonten zijn cruciaal voor het verbeteren van de levenskwaliteit.

Useful estimates of nutrient intake several years previously can be obtained by a relatively inexpensive, mailed, self-administered questionnaire.

Practitioners can use this questionnaire for cost-effective dietary assessments.

The semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) is reproducible and provides a useful estimate for categorizing individuals by level of past nutrient intake.

Practitioners can use this FFQ to assess dietary intake in similar populations.

The technique of the barbell hip thrust is described and demonstrated.

Practitioners can utilize the described technique for training purposes.

President Biden announced a strategy for ending hunger, increasing healthy eating and physical activity, and reducing diet-related diseases.

This indicates a national focus on improving public health through nutrition and physical activity initiatives.

Brachial blood pressure and carotid pulse pressure significantly decreased from PRE to POST.

Resistance training can lead to significant reductions in blood pressure in young men.

Sedentary TV viewing time is associated with increased risk of young-onset colorectal cancer (CRC).

Encouraging reduced TV viewing time may help lower the risk of young-onset CRC.

The Back Squat Assessment (BSA) delineates 30 potentially observable functional deficits.

The BSA can help identify specific movement deficits in clients.

The LIFE study demonstrated beneficial effects on global cognitive function and delayed memory in older adults with T2DM.

Practitioners may consider physical activity interventions to enhance cognitive function in older T2DM patients.

Ankle dorsiflexion ROM in the lunge test is associated with ankle resistance to stretch (r = 0.46, p = 0.050).

Improving ankle flexibility may enhance squat performance.

Single-joint movements may play a role in functional training program design.

Incorporating single-joint exercises may enhance the effectiveness of functional training programs.

The Veteran reported some degree of positive behavior change and improved social support.

Practitioners can consider the role of social support in behavior change for patients with mental health disorders.

More persons in the digital group reported to have achieved their current weight by linear weight loss (rapid or not) vs. through a series of weight loss cycles.

Practitioners may consider that digital participants tend to favor linear weight loss strategies.

Prediabetes is a complex condition requiring diagnosis and management by a multidisciplinary team of health professionals to delay and/or prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.

Health practitioners should collaborate in managing prediabetes to effectively prevent type 2 diabetes.

Establishing clear roles and responsibilities for diagnosing and managing prediabetes will improve prediabetes care and diabetes prevention in rural settings.

Practitioners should define roles clearly to enhance the management of prediabetes.

The study identified five themes related to prediabetes management and type 2 diabetes prevention.

Understanding these themes can guide practitioners in improving prediabetes management.

Significant differences were found between measurement systems in all outcome variables for both the squat and bench press.

This indicates that practitioners should expect discrepancies in measurements when using different systems.

Body food choice congruence is significantly higher in individuals with exercise addiction compared to those at risk of addiction.

Understanding food choice congruence may help in addressing exercise addiction.

Individuals at risk of exercise dependence have significantly lower average daily intakes of several nutrients compared to those at an addicted level.

Nutritional counseling may be beneficial for individuals at risk of exercise addiction.

Maximal heart rate was significantly higher during the increasing speed protocol (PSP) compared to the increasing elevation protocol (PIP) or the MST.

Higher heart rates during PSP suggest it may be a more intense protocol for assessing cardiovascular fitness.

There are sport-specific differences in the prediction of VO2max using the MST.

Different sports may require tailored approaches for assessing VO2max.

There is reliable evidence supporting the obesity paradox after adjusting for confounders.

Practitioners should utilize reliable evidence when considering the obesity paradox in treatment plans.
