    Introduction: The elderly population is increasing worldwide, highlighting the importance of healthy lifestyle behaviors such as nutritious eating and regular physical activity (PA). The Mediterranean-style dietary pattern (MDP) is recognized for its healthpromoting nutritional profile. This study examines the association between MDP adherence and PA levels in elderly men from Iran and Spain. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among elderly individuals aged 60 years and older in Iran and Spain (n = 1200). Adherence to the MDP was evaluated using a validated Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener. PA levels were assessed using the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity questionnaire. Additional demographic and anthropometric data—including age, sex, weight, and height—were also collected. Results: Among Iranian elderly participants, vigorous PA showed a significant positive association with adherence to the MDP (β = 0.143, p = 0.001). No significant associations were observed for light (β = 0.055, p = 0.178) or moderate (β = −0.003, p = 0.934) physical activity. Among Spanish elderly participants, adherence to the MDP was significantly associated with both vigorous (β = 0.241, p < 0.001) and light (β = 0.112, p= 0.004) PA, while moderate activity showed no significant relationship (β = 0.007, p =0.987). Conclusion: Adherence to the MDP is positively associated with higher levels of vigorous PA in elderly men from both Iran and Spain, and with light PA among Spanish participants. These findings highlight the role of lifestyle behaviors—particularly diet and PA —in shaping health-related patterns in older adults, and emphasize the importance of promoting MDP alongside regular PA.

  • Concurrent validity and reliability of global positioning systems for measuring intense running and peak speed performance: a systematic review

    The current systematic review aimed to analyse studies on the concurrent validity and reliability of microelectromechanical devices for measuring intense running and peak speed performance. A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, using EBSCO, PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science. Keywords and synonyms were entered in various combinations in the title, abstract, or keywords: (“Global positioning system” OR “Global Navigation Satellite System” OR “GPS”) AND (Validity OR Accuracy OR Reliability OR Precision OR Repeatability OR Reproducibility OR Consistency) AND (“sprint” OR “peak speed” “top seed” OR “maximal speed”). The risk of bias was assessed using the Appraisal tool for Cross-Sectional Studies. From 839 studies, 20 were systematically analysed. It was found that 16 global positioning system (GPS) models were considered valid and 12 were considered reliable for measuring intense running and/or peak speed performance. Intense running performance in GPS with lower sampling rate (e.g. ≤ 5 Hz) acquisition demonstrated reduced validity and reliability in nonlinear movement patterns as well as movement intensity increases. Some limitations of the evidence, including the conditions associated with exercise testing and the benchmark and device used, varied between studies. In addition, the data of the algorithms used by GPS can affect the interpretation of the results. Thus it would be advisable to use higher sampling rates.
