Arterial Stiffness in Nonhypertensive Type 2 Diabetes Patients in Ghana by Kwame Yeboah, Daniel A. Antwi, Ben Gyan

“…Peripheral and central blood pressure (BP) indices were measured, and arterial stiffness was assessed as aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVao), augmentation index (AIx), cardioankle vascular index (CAVI), and heart-ankle pulse wave velocity (haPWV). Results. With similar peripheral and central BP indices, T2DM patients had higher PWVao (8.3 ± 1 versus 7.8 ± 1.3, p=0.044) and CAVI (7.9 ± 1.2 versus 6.9 ± 0.7, p=0.021) than nondiabetic control. …”

Progress on Foot Assessment and Training to Prevent Running-related Injuries by ZHAO Xianli, LI Xinyu, WU Xubo, SHAN Chunlei, ZHANG Yihui, ZHANG Cai

“…It puts forward that runners can take RRI risk assessment before starting the running training plan and strengthen the weak parts of foot with reference to the neutral position FPI-6, plantar pressure distribution and arch form; runners can take a period of muscle strength training before increasing the intensity of running each time, and pay special attention to foot core muscle group training. For runners lack of ankle mobility and strength, the rear foot strike pattern is recommended, and runners with knee or calf injuries can choose the fore and mid foot strike patterns.…”
