“…However, in this study, after 8 weeks of the walking intervention, the “healthy diet habits” and “avoid tobacco, alcohol, and drug use” factors in both male and female older adults were improved; that is, by avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and drug use and increasing the frequency of physical activity, the healthier the participants’ lifestyles became. This phenomenon is consistent with the research of many other scholars [ 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 ]. In terms of “regular physical activity”, the male and female older adults were able to exercise at least three days a week for more than 30 min each time and go outdoors or exercise in their spare time.…”

Introduction: Exercise intervention is the easiest and most effective way to promote human health. This study combined technology and exercise to improve the health behavior of the older adults through a physical activity intervention and to enhance a health-promoting lifestyle. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental research method was used to openly recruit 120 healthy male and female older adults over 65 years old (average age of males: 71.6 ± 1.25 years; average age of females: 72.3 ± 1.28 years), all of whom wore smart bracelets. The participants were monitored by special personnel during the same period of walking every Monday to Friday. All participants recorded their daily steps, distance walked, and calorie consumption data for a period of 8 weeks. Results: After 8 weeks of walking, all participants showed a positive medium–high correlation of various factors between healthy behaviors and the health-promoting lifestyle scales. In the post-tests of each factor of two scales, males had the highest correlation between regular physical activity and physical activity, and females had the highest correlation between regular physical activity and social support. The variabilities in the explanatory power of the health behaviors of males and females on the health-promoting lifestyle were R2 = 70.9% (p < 0.01) and R2 = 74.1% (p < 0.01), indicating that the variables of healthy behaviors have a positive effect on health-promoting lifestyles in male and female older adults. Conclusions: Walking interventions positively affect the health behaviors of older adults and encourage health-promoting lifestyles. The value of this study is in its contribution to health promotion and public health recommendations for older adults.

Musculoskeletal injuries are the most common reason military service members cannot perform their military duties. Not only are they costly and associated with long-term disability, often long after completion of military service, but injuries also adversely affect the military readiness of a nation. This can be seen as a threat to national security and part of the impetus behind many efforts to better understand, predict, and mitigate injury risk in the military. A systematic review of the literature published between 1995 and October 31, 2020 was conducted to identify significant risk factors of musculoskeletal injury in military populations across the world. 74 out of 170 eligible studies addressed comprehensive injuries, providing 994 unique risk factors. 46 of these studies provided data that could be included in a meta-analysis, which was possible for 15 predictor variables. Seven predictors were significant in meta-analysis: female sex(RR=1.46;95CI 1.30,1.64), high body mass index(RR=1.36;95CI 1.21,1.53), functional movement screen pain (RR=1.70;95CI 1.55,1.87) or scores ≤ 14(RR=1.42 95CI 1.29,1.56), prior injury (RR=1.54;95CI 1.32,1.80), slower running performance(RR=1.33;95CI 1.18,1.51), and poorer pushup performance(RR=1.15;95CI 1.04,1.27). Low BMI, height, weight, smoking, physical activity scores, and sit-up and jump performance were not significant risk factors in the meta-analysis. Most studies had a high risk of bias. Lack of raw data and large heterogeneity in definitions of predictors and injury outcomes limited comparison across many studies. Highlights. Female sex, high body mass index, pain with functional movement screen or a score of ≤ 14, prior injury, slower running performance and poorer push-up performance were all significant predictors of musculoskeletal injury. . Low body mass index, height, weight, smoking, physical activity scores, and sit-up and jump performance were not significant predictors of musculoskeletal injury. . Many other predictors were present only in single studies, but large heterogeneity in definitions of both outcomes and predictors limited comparison across studies. . Overall, studies assessing risk factors to predict musculoskeletal injuries in the military were at high risk for bias, especially in regards to statistical approaches.

“…While this did not translate into any discernible impairment in physical performance improvement or muscle adaptation during basic training, this would likely have negative implications on health, occupational performance and physical fitness development in the longer term and during a military career. This is particularly noteworthy given that, unlike non-smokers, improved physical fitness in smokers does not appear to be protective against training-related injury (7). Thus, alongside the already wellestablished links to injury risk, the cumulative impacts of smoking in military populations remain an ongoing concern where further investigation would be valuable.…”

“…Basic military training is an intense process of physical fitness development involving arduous and often unaccustomed exercise, and results in a high rate of drop-out (1). Cigarette smoking is widely reported as an independent risk factors for training-related injury (2)(3)(4) and is associated with poorer physical fitness and training outcomes in military populations (5)(6)(7).…”
