Feasibility and preliminary functional, physical, and psychosocial effects of high-intensity functional training for adults with mobility disabilities
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the feasibility and initial health effects on functional, physical, and psychosocial outcomes of a community-based, 12-week high-intensity functional training (HIFT) intervention for adults with mobility disabilities. DESIGN AND SAMPLE: A single-group, pre-post design with assessments at baseline and post-intervention. Twelve participants (75% female; 37-74 years) with mobility disabilities. INTERVENTION: Twelve-week, thrice-weekly community-based HIFT program. MEASURES: Feasibility was assessed via recruitment, retention, and adherence. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) evaluated self-report physical function, while physical health outcomes comprised fitness, strength, flexibility, and weight-related assessments. Psychosocial measures included quality of life (QOL), self-efficacy, and perceived barriers. Energy expenditure via portable indirect calorimetry and exit interviews captured participant experiences. ANALYSIS: Feasibility was reported as percentages; descriptive statistics and effect sizes were calculated for functional, physical, and psychosocial outcomes. Thematic analysis identified themes from transcriptions. RESULTS: Recruitment was 51%, retention was 83%, and attendance was 77.5%, with one adverse event. Cohen's d effect sizes indicated improvements in function (d = 0.93-1.04), fitness (d = 0.65-1.59), flexibility (d = 0.36-0.64), BMI (d = 0.32), QOL (d = 1.04), self-efficacy (d = 1.03), and barriers to health behavior (d = 0.48). Participants reported high satisfaction and community support following the intervention. Energy expenditure averaged 154.65 (65.5) kcals/session and 86.13 (42) kcals during exercise. CONCLUSION: A community-based HIFT program for individuals with mobility disabilities is feasible; however, the small sample size limits the ability to attribute changes to the intervention.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
