Analysis of the relationship between physical self-concept and body composition
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press , 2016 , Conference Paper)Introduction: Body image is a psychological construct which refers to self-concept including self-image and feelings an individual perceives regarding his or her body. Several studies have examined how women subjectively ... -
Characteristics of preferred gait patterns: considerations for exercise prescription - Chapter 7
( Nova Science Publishers, Inc. , 2016 , Book chapter)Gait patterns have been widely studied in different fields of science for their particular characteristics. A dynamic approach of human locomotion considers walking and running as two stable behaviours adopted spontaneously ... -
Characteristics of preferred walking patterns in young Qatari adults
( Qatar Foundation , 2016 , Conference Paper)Walking is the most natural and important activity of daily living as it refers to the primary type of terrestrial human locomotion. Analyses of gait patterns typically examine the speed and manner in which people prefer ... -

Exercise prevention of health risks: Lessons from the sport science field and potential applications in Qatar
( OMICS International , 2015 , Conference Paper)Rising obesity levels and physical inactivity are major concerns in the 21st century due to their association with several health risks including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Engaging sedentary and obese ... -
Exergames to Improve Postural Balance in Older People with Dementia
( Human Kinetics, Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)The focus of the study concerns the well-documented increased risk of falling in older adults that can lead sometimes to fatal consequences. Improving posture and motor skills is central to preventing falls. Further ... -
First Physical Activity Report Card for Children and Youth in Lebanon
( Human Kinetics , 2019 , Article)Evidence on physical activity (PA) indicators for children and youth at a national level is necessary to improve multilevel support for PA behaviors. Lebanon's first Physical Activity Report Card for children and youth ... -
Mechanical efficiency at different exercise intensities among adolescent boys with different body fat levels
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2019 , Article)This study investigated the mechanical efficiency (ME) and associated factors in obese, overweight, and normal-weight adolescent boys during incremental cycle exercise test to exhaustion. Forty-five sedentary adolescent ... -
Muscle Strength and Glycaemic Control among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
( MDPI , 2020 , Article)Poor glycaemic control is associated with chronic life-threatening complications. This cross-sectional study examined whether there is an association between handgrip strength and glycaemic control among patients with ... -
Physical fitness and physical self-concept of male and female young adults in Qatar
( Public Library of Science , 2019 , Article)Background Physical inactivity is high within the Qatari population, particularly within females, and school-based environments, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. School-based physical activity (PA) outcomes ... -
A Prototype Of Virtually Interactive Hand Activating Devise-Low Cost Portable Head Mounted System (vihad Plus) For Neurological Rehabilitation
( Qatar Foundation , 2014 , Conference Paper)Background and Purpose: Restoring function in individuals who have severe paralysis of the upper extremity secondary to stroke is challenging. Recent technologies have made it possible to use robotic devices as novel tools ... -
Results from Lebanon's 2018 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth
( Human Kinetics , 2018 , Conference Paper)The prevalence of childhood obesity in Lebanon nearly doubled between 1997 and 2009.1 This shift in population health is extremely alarming, given that obesity is associated with a host of chronic diseases (eg, cardiovascular ... -
Sample Entropy, Univariate, and Multivariate Multi-Scale Entropy in Comparison with Classical Postural Sway Parameters in Young Healthy Adults.
( Frontiers Media , 2017 , Article)The present study aimed to compare various entropy measures to assess the dynamics and complexity of center of pressure (COP) displacements. Perturbing balance tests are often used in healthy subjects to imitate either ... -
Soccer training: High-intensity interval training is mood disturbing while small sided games ensure mood balance
( Edizioni Minerva Medica , 2018 , Article)© 2017 EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA. BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) versus small-sided games (SSG) in soccer on both the physiological responses and ... -
Studying movement reorganization when learning a whole-body action: Example of learning a constrained gait pattern
( OMICS International , 2015 , Poster)In order to better understand the process of learning a complex motor skill, an effort was done to identify principles of movement reorganization. However, many studies refuted the existence of generalized invariant ...
