Supervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) are options for heart failure treatment in cardiovascular rehabilitation programs (CoR, low CoE).

Supervised moderate-intensity resistance training (MIRT) may be more effective than low-intensity resistance training (LIRT) for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients (CoR, very low CoE).

High-intensity inspiratory muscle training (HI-IMT) improves inspiratory muscle strength/endurance in heart failure patients (CoR, very low CoE).

Aerobic training (AT) plus neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) offers no extra benefit over AT alone for heart failure patients (CoR, low CoE).

NMES is more effective than NMES placebo or usual activities for heart failure patients (CoR, low CoE).

Pain phenotypes responsible for persistent shoulder pain can be complex and dynamic.

Presentation of shoulder pain phenotype assessment and clinical reasoning.

Knowledge gaps on characteristics of patients per specific shoulder pain phenotype.

There is evidence against the existence of the setting phase of the scapula.

There is evidence against the constant 3:1 humerothoracic scapulohumeral rhythm.

There is a great variability in scapular kinematics in healthy individuals.

Cervical flexion posture during smartphone use was not a risk factor for neck pain;.

Low sleep quality was a risk factor for neck pain;.

Insufficient levels of physical activity were a risk factor for neck pain.

Physical disability doubles hospitalization odds in older adults (OR: 2.13).

Disabled older adults are five times more likely to have ≥ 4 hospitalizations.

Findings highlight the need for policies to prevent disability in older populations.

Therapists believe in manual therapy mechanisms, partially supported by evidence.

Mechanisms include brain involvement, pain modulation, and placebo effects.

Sociodemographics are weakly associated with beliefs about manual therapy.

Perceived efficacy was related to men, hands-on time, biomechanics, and less placebo.

Few physical therapists use PROMs for health-related and psychosocial factors.

Higher education levels increase the likelihood of using these PROMs.

Being an advanced clinical specialist increases the likelihood of using these PROMs.

Understanding PROMs within the biopsychosocial framework is essential.

Functional recovery after severe TBI in Brazil is influenced by sociodemographic and clinical factors.

Lower education levels were associated with worse outcomes within 1-year assessment.

Length of mechanical ventilation was a consistently strong predictor of unfavorable outcome.

Decompressive craniectomy and advanced age (>65 years) were linked to poor long-term functional outcomes.

The ICF framework provides a structured approach to identifying predictors of successful extubation.

This multicenter study analyzed data from five macro-regions across Brazil.

Contextual factors may be considered in neonatal extubation protocols.

Environmental factors can influence the success of extubation in newborns.

Replacing sedentary time with leisure activity improves older adults’ lifespan.

More sedentary time instead of leisure activity harms older adults’ longevity.

Changes in activity and sedentary behavior may reduce premature death risk.

Brazilian physical therapists are committed to fall prevention and implementing best practices for fall prevention.

Physical therapists exhibit capability, opportunity, and motivation to implement best practices for fall prevention.

Barriers include patient underreporting falls, risk denial, and adherence to intervention.

Practice area and updated knowledge influence physical therapists' frequency of implementing best practices for fall prevention.

Over two-thirds of Para athletes had health problems; injuries were 74 % of cases.

Taekwondo showed highest injury prevalence and incidence rate among the four sports.

Shoulder injuries had greatest burden, followed by ankle and knee in Para athletes.

Powerlifting had the highest injury burden; athletics showed more illnesses overall.

Findings support sport-specific injury prevention to reduce burden in Para athletes.
