Psychosocial Mechanism of Adolescents’ Depression: A Dose-Response Relation with Physical Activity (open access)

Psychosocial Mechanism of Adolescents’ Depression: A Dose-Response Relation with Physical Activity

The article highlights a study aimed (1) to examine the relations between different doses of physical activity (PA), light PA (LPA), moderate PA (MPA), and vigorous PA (VPA), academic self-efficacy, and depression among adolescents, and (2) to investigate the direct and indirect relations of various doses of PA to depression through academic self-efficacy among middle school adolescents. Findings of this study indicated that academic self-efficacy regulates adolescents’ depression. Tailoring different intensities of PA benefits adolescents’ academic self-efficacy by framing the positive and supportive environment in schools, which can potentially reduce the prevalence of depression during adolescence.

Feasibility and initial efficacy of a wheelchair exercise-training intervention for persons with multiple sclerosis (open access)

Feasibility and initial efficacy of a wheelchair exercise-training intervention for persons with multiple sclerosis

Data management plan for the grant "Feasibility and initial efficacy of a wheelchair exercise-training intervention for persons with multiple sclerosis." The proposed study will examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of a stakeholder-informed, home-based, remotely supported and supervised exercise training program for wheelchair users with multiple sclerosis (MS). The proposed exercise training program was iteratively developed in partnership with community members using semi-structured interviews, a community advisory board, and focus group feedback wherein community members provided insights to develop and refine an exercise training program that suit the needs and preferences of wheelchair users with MS. Ultimately, the proposed study extends this line of research and may initiate a significant paradigm shift in rehabilitation research and practice by providing a critically needed home-based exercise training program for enhancing health, quality of life, participation, and independence of wheelchair user with MS.
