TL;DR: Health and fitness landmarks over the past 50 years include the standardization of test methodology, development of tools for population screening and testing, completion of representative National Health and Fitness surveys, quasi-experimental evaluations of school and employee fitness programmes, definition of minimum occupational fitness needs, demonstration of the beneficial effects of exercise on the aging process, and documentation of the high fitness levels associated with a hunter-gatherer lifestyle as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome should aim at breaking the vicious cycle of effort avoidance, deterioration in physical condition and increasing fatigue through a combination of psychotherapy, general encouragement and a progressive exercise regimen.

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that additional strength training twice a week enhances the maximal strength of the lower limbs and jumping or repeated sprinting performance in elite handball players.

TL;DR: The active individuals of Igloolik have largely conserved the high level of fitness that characterized the settlement in 1969/70, showing substantial advantages over their sedentary peers in terms of relative aerobic power and subcutaneous fat.

TL;DR: Within-sample variance suggests that socio-economic factors could explain only a part of the discrepancy between body dimensions of primary school children living within a uniquely francophone region of Québec and other dimensions such as height were affected less than standing height.
