In the physical performance measures, subjects performed active trunk movements and tasks; the time necessary to perform these tasks was recorded in seconds using a stop watch.
The physical performance measurements were performed in the research laboratory.
Due to practical limitations the physical therapists providing the intervention will also be performing the physical performance measurements.
Study participants unable to perform the physical performance tests were excluded from our analyses, which might also introduce bias.
However, it was evidently sufficient to allow these patients to perform the physical performance tests as well as the very satisfied patients.
The physical performance measurements will be performed by the same researchers who will also be providing the training intervention due to practical limitations.
Further analysis using the multiple hierarchical regression model was performed to examine the physical performance measures that seemed to be predictors for cognitive performance (Table 3).
In the adjusted model, the association between cognitive impairment and the results of the physical performance tests was significant for the five tests performed at fast speed.
Let's not forget, though, the importance of the physical performance in conveying spite.
It was not so much the physical performance, though Mr. McKean takes a bold stance in seeking to differentiate his approach from Mr. Fierstein's.
His PhD research into skeletal health now directly informs his role as bone specialist in the physical performance and mobility group of Nestlé's department of health and nutrition.
