INTRODUCTION: Dual-tasking refers to the simultaneous performance of two independent tasks, each with distinct goals. While evidence suggests that dual-task training (DTT) can enhance physical and cognitive outcomes, particularly in healthy populations, its effectiveness in rehabilitation and its long-term impact on musculoskeletal injuries remain underexplored. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of DTT compared to single-task training (STT) or no intervention (NI) on clinical outcomes and physical performance metrics in adults with lower-extremity musculoskeletal injuries. METHODS: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science databases up to April 2024, with additional backward and forward citation tracking. Data were extracted on participant demographics, diagnoses, interventions, measured outcomes, assessment tools, and main findings. The Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool 2 was used to evaluate study quality. RESULTS: Following screening 8,017 articles, four randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria, providing data on 107 participants (Mean ± SD age: 25.4 ± 10.4) with lower extremity injuries. Three studies showed a high risk of bias, while one was rated as low risk. The findings indicate that DTT significantly improved ankle proprioception and peroneus longus muscle activation compared to STT, although both DTT and STT yielded similar outcomes in postural control and jump-landing kinematics, showing no clear advantage. DTT also demonstrated greater effectiveness than NI across all parameters. CONCLUSION: DTT may offer advantages over STT in enhancing ankle proprioception and peroneus longus activation for patients with chronic ankle instability. However, the limited number of studies, high risk of bias, and limited range of clinical outcome measures underscore the need for further research in this area.

Introduction Mandatory Physical Education (PE) courses at universities engage all student demographics, including sedentary and active individuals, as well as those with special exercise needs. This setting is crucial for fostering lifelong exercise habits, with psychological factors like body image and life satisfaction potentially influencing students’ willingness to participate. Purpose This research investigates the relationship between gender, Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) scores, and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) scores concerning intentions to exercise after a required 13-week skill-oriented PE course. Methods A total of 884 first-year university students (353 males and 531 females; mean age = 18.7 years) from various academic backgrounds participated. After completing the PE course, they completed a questionnaire that included demographic information, exercise intentions, BAS-2, and SWLS. Results Results from a two-way MANOVA indicated that there was no significant interaction effect between gender and intention to exercise after completing the PE course on the following measures: 1) the BAS-2, F(1, 657) = 0.448, p = 0.503, and 2) the SWLS, F(1, 657) = 0.069, p = 0.792. Two independent sample t-tests were conducted to determine if there were differences in BAS-2 and SWLS levels between males and females. The results indicated a non-significant difference in 1) BAS-2 levels, with males reporting an average of M = 35.76 (SD = 7.89) and females reporting an average of M = 34.97 (SD = 7.80), t(882) = -1.46, p = 0.143, and 2) SWLS levels, where males had an average of M = 25.60 (SD = 6.09) compared to females average of M = 25.14 (SD = 6.02), t(659) = -0.98, p = 0.330. An independent samples t-test was conducted to assess whether there is a difference in BAS-2 levels between participants who intend to exercise after completing the PE course and those who do not. The results show a significant difference in BAS-2 levels between the two groups: those with the intention to exercise had a mean score of 35.76 (SD = 7.54), while those without intention had a mean score of 34.17 (SD = 8.44), t(882) = 2.731, p = 0.006. In contrast, the independent samples t-test revealed a non-significant difference in the SWLS levels. Participants who intended to exercise had a mean SWLS score of 25.53 (SD = 5.95), compared to a mean score of 24.87 (SD = 6.27) for those without intention, t(659) = 1.282, p = 0.200. Conclusion After completing the PE course, no significant interaction effect was observed between gender and intention to exercise regarding the BAS-2 and SWLS scores. However, participants with higher BAS-2 levels exhibited a greater intention to begin exercising. Additionally, no gender differences were found in the BAS-2 and SWLS scores. Finally, there was no significant difference in SWLS scores between participants who intended to exercise and those who did not.

Introduction The World Anti-Doping Agencys statement that "athletesfirst contact with anti-doping should be through education rather than doping control" reflects the importance of education in anti-doping work. Young athletes, as a unique group, face challenges in anti-doping education. This study will examine the characteristics of young athletes to understand what influences their attitudes toward anti-doping and their willingness to participate. It will also explore the differences in anti-doping attitudes and willingness among young athletes with varying characteristics. This will help construct strategies for implementing anti-doping education for youth, effectively improving the results of anti-doping education for young athletes. Method This study will survey approximately 1,500 young athletes from sports schools in both urban and district areas of Shanghai. It will employ field research, expert interviews, and questionnaires to investigate the factors influencing their attitudes towards anti-doping and their willingness to participate. The data will be analyzed using methods like factor analysis, regression analysis, and heterogeneity analysis. Results (1)Young athletes demonstrate a favorable attitude towards anti-doping initiatives and express a strong desire to engage in anti-doping education. (2) Self-awareness, anticipated benefits, and social support strongly influence young athletes willingness to participate in anti-doping education. In contrast, the content and format of the education do not significantly affect their willingness. Positive attitudes towards anti-doping enhance the likelihood of young athletes participating in education programs.(3)Young athletes with different characteristics exhibit significant differences in their willingness to participate in anti-doping education. Discussion The findings revealed that young athletes recognize the significance of anti-doping and possess some knowledge about it. Several factors influence young athletes participation in anti-doping education. Improved self-awareness boosts their confidence in completing educational tasks. Additionally, athletes understand that anti-doping education enhances their knowledge and supports their competitive careers, making them more willing to participate.Social support also encourages their involvement in anti-doping education.Therefore,to improve the effectiveness of anti-doping education in the future, programs should focus on enhancing athletes self-awareness, clarifying the necessity of such education, and tailoring content to their unique characteristics.
