Context: Emotion regulation deficits are increasingly recognized as an underlying mechanism of many disorders. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) holds potential as a transdiagnostic treatment for disorders with underlying emotion regulation deficits.Objective: Systematically review the evidence for DBT skills training groups as a transdiagnostic treatment for common mental health disorders via meta-analysis. Study Selection: Randomized control trials (RCTs) of DBT skills training groups for adults with common mental health disorders, and no comorbid personality disorder, were included. Data Synthesis: Twelve RCTs met inclusion criteria (N = 425 participants). DBT had a moderate-to-large effect on symptom reduction (g = 0.79, 95% CI [0.52, 1.06], p < .0001). Improvements in emotion regulation yielded a small-to-moderate effect (g = 0.48, 95% CI [0.22, 0.74], p < .01). Results showed significant effects of DBT on depression (g = 0.50, 95% CI [0.25, 0.75], p = .002), eating disorders (g = 0.83, 95% CI [0.49, 1.17], p = .001) and anxiety (g = 0.45, 95% CI [0.08, 0.83], p = .03).Conclusions: Findings suggest DBT is an effective treatment for common mental health disorders and may be considered as a promising transdiagnostic therapy.

Star Excursion Balance Test

Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) is one of the most common musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Stroboscopic vision (SV) training has been deemed to enhance somatosensorial pathways in this population group; nevertheless, until recently no studies have addressed the additional effects of this treatment option to the traditional therapeutic approach. Methods: To evaluate the effectiveness of a partial visual deprivation training protocol in patients with CAI, a randomized controlled trial was carried out. Patients with CAI (n = 73) were randomized into either a balance training, SV training, or a control (no training) group. For participants assigned into training groups, they received 18 training sessions over 6 weeks. The primary outcome was dynamic balance as measured by the Star Excursion Balance Test assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention. Secondary outcome measures included ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, self-reported instability feeling, and ankle functional status. Results: Better scores in stroboscopic training and balance training groups in all outcome measures were observed in comparison with the control group with moderate to large effect sizes. Stroboscopic training was more effective than neuromuscular training in self-reported instability feeling (cohen’s d = 0.71; p = 0.042) and anterior reach distance of the star excursion balance test (cohen’s d = 1.23; p = 0.001). Conclusions: Preliminary findings from the effects of SV Stroboscopic training in patients with CAI, suggest that SV may be beneficial in CAI rehabilitation.

Intensity Training

In this study, a survey was used to document the type and amount of training to which 2- to 3-year old Swedish Standardbred horses are generally subjected. Moreover, an experimental study was conducted to examine the ability to achieve conventional performance goals in 16 Standardbred geldings fed a forage-only diet and allocated to either a control training programme (C-group) or a training programme with the high intensity training distance reduced by 30% (R-group) from March as 2-year-olds until December as 3-year-olds. The median distance of high intensity training per week reported by professional trainers was 6,700 m. In experimental horses, planned high intensity training/week was 6,315 and 4,288 m in C-group and R-group, respectively. There was no difference between experimental training groups in ability to race. The proportion of experimental horses that passed a preparation race as 2-year-olds (100%) and qualified for races (94%) was greater (P<0.05) than for the rest of the cohort (77 and 63%), geldings of the same cohort (71 and 45%) and siblings of the experimental horses (84 and 69%). The proportion of horses that raced (56%) was equal to that of the cohort and of siblings (54%), but greater than the proportion of cohort geldings (35%, P<0.05). In experimental horses, total earnings until 7 years of age were correlated to exercise haematocrit as 3-year-olds (r=0.51, P>0.05) and number of races (r=0.55, P>0.05). Race record was correlated to VLa4 as 3-year-olds (r=-0.75, P<0.01). It was concluded that a forage-only diet and shorter distance of high intensity training than commonly used in Standardbred training in Sweden do not appear to restrict ability to qualify for races and race before 4 years of age.
