Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in the Middle East and North Africa: An overview of systematic reviews and meta-analysis
TL;DR: The authors' analysis suggests a significant PA prevalence increase among adults over the last two decades, and the inconsistency in sedentary behaviour measurement is related to the absence of standardized guidelines for its quantification and interpretation.

Evaluation of pelvic floor muscle activity during running in continent and incontinent women: An exploratory study
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare pelvic floor muscle activity in continent and SUI women during running at three different speeds and thereby elucidate contraction characteristics of the pelvic floor during impact.
