Lateral epicondylitis is a self-limiting condition linked to biomechanical overuse, often from work or sports activities. It presents as lateral elbow pain during wrist extension or gripping, reduced grip strength. While 70% to 90% of LE cases gradually improve on their own, ESWT and conventional physiotherapy are commonly employed as supplementary therapies in conservative management of the condition....

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), commonly assessed through maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max), is a robust biomarker of cardiovascular and respiratory efficiency. Increasing evidence highlights its strong association with reduced all-cause mortality, prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and enhanced longevity. Despite the multifactorial determinants of VO2 max, physical activity represents the main modifiable factor, reinforcing its role as a central indicator for both clinical p...
