In people with coronary artery disease (CAD), a core component of the rehabilitation process is exercise training which should be prescribed according to the FITT principles (frequency, intensity, time, and type of training), including both aerobic and resistance training components [1]. General recommendations for aerobic training propose a training frequency of at least 3 days per week, (preferably 6–7 days), with progression from interval to continuous training considered best practice [2]. Our landmark trial, HIIT or MISS UK, showed that eight weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise was more effective than moderate intensity (MISS) exercise training for improving cardiorespiratory fitness in 382 people with CAD attending cardiac rehabilitation (CR), although the aerobic training component was provided at a lower frequency (2 times per week) than this recommendation [3].

Given the high variability in TBI outcomes and relative lack of examination of influence of non-injury factors on outcome, this study aimed to examine factors associated with functional outcome at one and two -years after moderate-severe traumatic brain injury, including both pre-injury and injury-related factors.

We were intrigued by the recently published article titled "Clinical and Ultrasonographic Effectiveness of Two Different Splints Used for the Treatment of Lateral Epicondylitis: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study".1 In this study, Songur et al. conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of two splint types, the lateral epicondylitis band and the wrist extensor splint, as well as a group receiving education protection only, for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. The evaluation was based on clinical and ultrasonographic findings.
