“…All studies obtained 60% or more of the total scale score for randomised (32 points) and non-randomised (17 points) controlled trials, as shown in Table 1. Two studies obtained a score of 28/32 (Combs et al, 2013;Ciaccioni et al, 2019), one of 27/32 (Jansen et al, 2017), three of 14/17 (Marie-Ludivine et al, 2010;Dawson et al, 2020;Fleisher et al, 2020), and one of 11/17 (Lantheaume et al, 2017), indicating a moderate to high methodological quality, so no studies were excluded from the systematic review.…”

“…Eight studies were excluded because they were not OCS interventions; seven for not having HRQoL measurements; nine because the mean age of the sample was <45 years of age; eight because they did not correspond to the research object (i.e., not centred on the HRQoL outcomes of adults 45 years and older); four for not being able to access the full texts of the studies; and four because they were reviews or case studies. After this process, seven studies met the selection criteria (Marie-Ludivine et al, 2010;Combs et al, 2013;Jansen et al, 2017;Lantheaume et al, 2017;Ciaccioni et al, 2019;Dawson et al, 2020;Fleisher et al, 2020).…”

“…Regarding the type of study, three were randomised-controlled trials (Combs et al, 2013;Jansen et al, 2017;Ciaccioni et al, 2019), one was a non-randomised (pre-experimental) trial (Fleisher et al, 2020), and three had a longitudinal design (Marie-Ludivine et al, 2010;Lantheaume et al, 2017;Dawson et al, 2020). Of these, three studies were developed in the United States of America (Combs et al, 2013;Dawson et al, 2020;Fleisher et al, 2020), one in Canada (Marie-Ludivine et al, 2010), one in Italy (Ciaccioni et al, 2019), one in Germany (Jansen et al, 2017), and one in France (Lantheaume et al, 2017). Regarding the modality of OCS practised, three were interventions with karate (Marie- Ludivine et al, 2010;Jansen et al, 2017;Fleisher et al, 2020), two with boxing (Combs et al, 2013;Dawson et al, 2020), one with judo (Ciaccioni et al, 2019), and one with fencing (Lantheaume et al, 2017).…”

Effects of Olympic Combat Sports on Health-Related Quality of Life in Middle-Aged and Older People: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Olympic combat sports are unconventional physical activity strategies to train middle-aged and older people with and without health problems. This systematic review aimed to assess the available body of published peer-reviewed articles related to the effects of Olympic combat sports interventions (boxing, fencing, judo, karate, taekwondo, wrestling) on health-related quality of life in adults aged 45 and older. The search was carried out in five generic databases until July 2021 and the protocol was registered in PROSPERO (code: CRD42021244161). The PRISMA guidelines were followed and the Downs and Black checklist was used to assessed the methodological quality of the studies. After reviewing 1,151 records, only seven studies met the inclusion criteria, adding 212 participants (43.4% female) with a mean age of 63.7 years. Six studies (two with middle-aged participants and four with older people) provided data to calculate the effect size (ES) in the Olympic combat sports groups (No research that used taekwondo or wrestling as an intervention modality was found). Three studies reported beneficial changes with a small ES for the total score (d < 0.40) of the health-related quality of life. Two studies reported a beneficial change with a small ES (d = 0.49) and strong ES (d = 4.45) for physical health. One study reported improvements with a small ES for emotional (d = 0.23) and functional (d = 0.26) well-being. In conclusion, interventions based on Olympic combat sports produce beneficial effects with a small and moderate ES on health-related quality of life in male and female aged 45 and older who are healthy participants, participants with Parkinson's disease, and participants with breast cancer.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, PROSPERO: CRD42021244161.

“…The relatively recent development of community-based exercise programs for people with chronic neurological conditions represents a positive shift in the field towards addressing the need for long-term, affordable motor rehabilitation services. Of note, some existing community-based programs, mainly targeted to people with chronic stroke, already utilize instructors with skillsets consistent with kinesiologist training [ 47 – 52 ]. Here, we highlight two programs developed in Canada: Together in Movement and Exercise (TIME™) [ 49 ] and the Fitness and Mobility Exercise (FAME) Program [ 50 ].…”

Advancing motor rehabilitation for adults with chronic neurological conditions through increased involvement of kinesiologists: a perspective review

Many people with neurological conditions experience challenges with movement. Although rehabilitation is often provided acutely and sub-acutely following the onset of a condition, motor deficits commonly persist in the long-term and are exacerbated by disuse and inactivity. Notably, motor rehabilitation approaches that incorporate exercise and physical activity can support gains in motor function even in the chronic stages of many neurological conditions. However, delivering motor rehabilitation on a long-term basis to people with chronic neurological conditions is a challenge within health care systems, and the onus is often placed on patients to find and pay for services. While neurological motor rehabilitation is largely the domain of physical and occupational therapists, kinesiologists may be able to complement existing care and support delivery of long-term neurological motor rehabilitation, specifically through provision of supported exercise and physical activity programs. In this perspective style review article, we discuss potential contributions of kinesiologists to advancing the field through exercise programming, focusing on community-based interventions that increase physical activity levels. We conclude with recommendations on how kinesiologists’ role might be further optimized towards improving long-term outcomes for people with chronic neurological conditions, considering issues related to professional regulation and models of care.

BackgroundBoxing training has become a popular form of exercise for people with Parkinson disease (PD). There is a dearth of high‐quality feasibility, safety, and efficacy data on boxing training for PD. Feasibility of Instituting Graduated High‐intensity Training (FIGHT‐PD) aimed to examine these features in a periodized boxing training program featuring high‐intensity physical and cognitive demands.ObjectiveTo conduct a feasibility study, aiming to address deficiencies in the current knowledge base and to provide data for future studies.DesignSingle‐arm, open‐label feasibility.SettingUniversity department and medical research institute.ParticipantsTen people with early stage PD without contraindications to intense exercise, identified from a database of participants interested in boxing training.InterventionsA 15‐week exercise program with three 1‐hour sessions per week, with each session including warmup and then rounds of noncontact boxing using a training device. Three distinct blocks of 5 weeks including active rest. Boxers Development: focus on training technique Boxers Cardio: increasing intensity, including high‐intensity interval training Boxers Brain: focus on cognitively challenging dual task training Main Outcome MeasuresProcess, resource, and management measures including recruitment and retention rates, timelines and costs, and compliance with prescribed exercise targets. Clinical outcomes were safety (adverse events), training intensity (using heart rate and perceived exertion monitoring), tolerability (pain, fatigue, and sleep scores), and pre‐ and postprogram Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS‐III).ResultsAmong 10 participants from a pool of 82 (recruitment rate = 12%), there were no withdrawals; 348/360 workouts were completed (adherence = 97.7%); 4/348 (1.1%) workouts were missed due to minor injury. Nine of 10 participants showed improvement in UPDRS motor score.ConclusionsFIGHT‐PD provides a depth of feasibility and safety data, methodological detail, and preliminary results that is not described elsewhere and could provide a useful basis for future studies of boxing training for PD.
