Intervention to Improve Running and Physical Activity Participation in Children With Generalised Joint Hypermobility: A Feasibility Study

Child: Care, Health and Development, Volume 52, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Children with symptomatic paediatric generalised joint hypermobility (pgGJH) have limitations in physical activity and participation, yet there is a lack of research to guide intervention. In Australia, these children do not receive funding support.

The effect of 10-week plyometric training program on muscle strength of the upper and lower limbs, lean body mass, and Insulin-like growth factor 1 in young women [PDF]

Majallah-i Zanān, Māmā̓ī va Nāzā̓ī-i Īrān, 2017
Introduction: Plyometric training utilizes the stretch-shortening cycle by using a lengthening (eccentric) movement, which is promptly followed by a shortening (concentric) movement.

Effectiveness of Resistance Training in People With Down Syndrome: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, Volume 39, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of resistance training (RT) in people with Down syndrome (DS) as a way of improving strength, physical and metabolic function, and possible adverse effects. Methods Systematic review and meta‐analysis of RCTs in PubMed, PEDro, Scopus, and WoS databases in September‐2023, registered in PROSPERO (

Jumping on the moon as a potential exercise countermeasure

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 9, Page 4073-4088, 1 September 2026.
Abstract The Moon's gravitational field strength (17% Earth's gravity) may facilitate the use of bodyweight jumping as an exercise countermeasure against musculoskeletal and cardiovascular deconditioning in reduced gravity settings. The present study characterised the acute physiological and kinetic responses to bodyweight jumping in simulated Lunar ...

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 9, Page 4153-4165, 1 September 2026.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

Rethinking neurophysiology of delayed onset muscle soreness: updated concepts and mechanisms for mitigation across endurance, resistance, and plyometric exercise

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a physiological response to intense eccentric exercise across endurance, resistance, and plyometric training. Although traditionally attributed primarily to structural muscle damage and inflammation, accumulating ...

Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 9, Page 4179-4194, 1 September 2026.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.
