physical activity and health outcomes. Physical activity and physical function have a bidirectional relationship during the aging process ( Metti et al., 2018 ; Morey et al., 2008 ). Clinical trial evidence revealed that increasing physical activity improves physical function ( Pahor et al., 2014

Two recent meta-analyses of this literature have limited their focus to studies on executive function (EF) and have also examined age group
Lower-Extremity Neuromuscular Function Following Concussion: A Preliminary Examination
Landon B. Lempke, Jarrod A. Call, Matthew C. Hoch, Julianne D. Schmidt, and Robert C. Lynall
Concussion is a prevalent pathology resulting in transient symptom presentation accompanied by impaired postural stability, neurocognitive, and visual function. 1 , 2 Clinicians currently examine concussions using assessments targeting these deficits to accurately diagnose and guide clinical

Minimizing Redislocation Rates and Restoring Function After Patella Dislocation: A Critically Appraised Topic
Matthew Senese and Veronika Smith
Clinical Scenario Individuals with patellofemoral instability commonly experience knee pain and loss of function. 1 The incidence of patellofemoral instability in the United States has been reported as 23.2 per 100,000 person years. 2 The risk of future episodes of patella dislocation is 7 times

Multitask Versus Multicomponent Training on Cognitive and Motor Functions in Persons With Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Trial
Betul Fatma Bilgin and Gozde Iyigun
Cognitive impairment is one of the most pressing health care problems of the 21st century ( Nagamatsu et al., 2013 ). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been defined as a disorder in a single cognitive function; usually, memory is impaired to the extent greater than anticipated for age, yet the

Therefore, the purpose of this
