Peddling stories: an investigation of the day-to-day realties for cyclists in Galway

Towns and cities worldwide are challenging the dominance of private cars and seeking ways to limit their use, compelled by the urgency to deal with the climate crisis. There is a growing determination to transition to more active and sustainable transport such as walking, cycling, and public transport, and to reduce our overall need for private car use in urban areas while improving public health and local environs. Cycling is a low-impact aerobic exercise and mobility option that can assist attempts to reduce private car use, cut harmful emissions, and moderate economically damaging traffic congestion in towns and cities. Cycling also offers numerous health and well-being benefits. But in towns and cities where cycling is constrained, marginalised, or ignored by transport planners, little is known about who is cycling, for what purpose, where they are cycling to and from, and their motivation to cycle. In recent times efforts have been made to improve the cycling infrastructure and better promote this mode of travel in Galway, a small city on the West coast of Ireland. This study investigates the experiences of cyclists in the city with data collected from individuals of differing ages and cycling abilities and advocates cycling continues to be marginalised and neglected in the context of implementing transport policy in the city. The findings indicate that most cyclists feel unsafe, and a prevailing car-centric policy mindset prevents cycling from developing to its potential in Galway to the detriment of the local environment, citizens' health, and new economic opportunities.

Effect of swimming exercise program on quality of life in patients with diabetic foot ulcer

This research aimed to examine the effect of a swimming exercise program on the quality of life in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). DFUs are a common complication of diabetes that significantly impact patients' physical and psychological well-being and impose a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Physical activity, including swimming, has been shown to improve various aspects of health and well-being. However, its specific effects on the quality of life in patients with DFUs have not been extensively studied. The study included twenty patients diagnosed with DFUs who volunteered to participate in a 12-week swimming exercise program. The program consisted of three one-hour sessions per week, with exercises performed in an indoor swimming pool. Participants' quality of life was assessed using the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale Short Form (DFS-SF) before the program and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks into the program. The results demonstrated significant improvements in various domains of quality of life among participants. The leisure, physical health, dependence/daily life, negative emotions, worry about ulcers/feet, and bothered by ulcer care domains all showed positive changes, with reduced scores on negative items and increased scores on positive items over time. These findings highlight the potential benefits of swimming as a therapeutic intervention for improving the quality of life in patients with DFUs. Swimming, as a low-impact aerobic exercise, offers physiological and psychological advantages, including fat burning, mood improvement, stress reduction, and enhanced cognitive function. The study suggests that incorporating swimming exercise programs into the management and treatment of DFUs may lead to improved overall well-being and quality of life for these patients. Further research and larger-scale studies are necessary to validate these findings and explore the long-term effects of swimming exercise programs on the quality of life in patients with DFUs. Nevertheless, this research provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals in developing comprehensive treatment approaches for individuals with DFUs.

From Stiffness to Strength: The Role of Physical Activity in Managing Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation, pain, and potential disability. While pharmacological treatments are central to managing RA, physical activity plays a crucial role in improving patient outcomes. This article explores the influence of physical activity on RA, detailing its benefits, challenges, and best practices. Physical activity offers numerous benefits for RA patients, including reduced pain, improved joint function, enhanced physical mobility, and better mental health. Regular exercise also mitigates the risk of cardiovascular disease, improves bone density, and contributes to overall quality of life. Suitable forms of physical activity for RA patients include low-impact aerobic exercises, strength training, flexibility exercises, balance training, and mind-body practices like yoga and Tai Chi. Despite these benefits, RA patients face challenges in engaging in physical activity, such as pain, fatigue, and psychological barriers. Properly tailored exercise programs, guided by healthcare professionals, can help overcome these challenges, ensuring that patients can safely incorporate physical activity into their management plans. This article highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, integrating physical activity with conventional RA treatments, to optimize patient outcomes and enhance their quality of life.
