Functional fitness benchmark values for older adults: a systematic review [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthIntroductionThe use of normative values and/or standards of functional fitness in adults is relevant to overall health and well-being. The objectives of the study were: to identify the physical tests of the senior fitness test (SFT) that have been ...

Normative values to assess functional fitness in older adults in a region of Chile [PDF]
Frontiers in AgingIntroductionAging is a global phenomenon that has generated great concerns and challenges in terms of public health and medical care, associated with a lower quality of life. The objective to study was to compare the functional fitness of older adults in

Analysis of Pacing Strategies in AMRAP, EMOM, and FOR TIME Training Models during “Cross” Modalities
Sports, 2021 Empirically, it is widely discussed in “Cross” modalities that the pacing strategy developed by an athlete or trainee has a significant impact on the endurance performance in a WOD in the AMRAP, EMOM, or FOR TIME model. We can observe at least six pacing

Fitting the psychometric function [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1999 A constrained generalized maximum likelihood routine for fitting psychometric functions is proposed, which determines optimum values for the complete parameter set--that is, threshold and slope--as well as for guessing and lapsing probability. The constraints are realized by Bayesian prior distributions for each of these parameters.

Visual function and fitness to drive [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 2008 Driving is recognized to be a visually intensive task and accordingly there is a legal minimum standard of vision required for all motorists. The purpose of this paper is to review the current United Kingdom (UK) visual requirements for driving and discuss the evidence base behind these legal rules.

On the Easiest and Hardest Fitness Functions [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 2015 The hardness of fitness functions is an important research topic in the field of evolutionary computation. In theory, the study can help understanding the ability of evolutionary algorithms. In practice, the study may provide a guideline to the design of benchmarks.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The main advantage of measuring functional fitness (FF) in older adults is that individual tests can estimate and track the rate of decline with age. This study aimed to develop a multiple linear regression model for predicting FF variables using easy-to-

Fitness Landscapes of Functional RNAs [PDF]
Life, 2015 The notion of fitness landscapes, a map between genotype and fitness, was proposed more than 80 years ago. For most of this time data was only available for a few alleles, and thus we had only a restricted view of the whole fitness landscape. Recently, advances in genetics and molecular biology allow a more detailed view of them.
