Twelve-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT), moderate-to-vigorousintensity continuous training (MICT), and Nordic walking (NW) have been shown to improve functional capacity, quality of life (QoL), and depression symptoms in patients with coronary artery disease. However, their prolonged effects or whether the improvements can be sustained remains unknown. In this study we compared the effects of 12… Continue reading Sustained Effects of Different Exercise Modalities on Physical and Mental Health in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Association of Accelerometer-Measured Sedentary Time and Physical Activity With Risk of Stroke Among US Adults
Importance The amount and intensity of physical activity required to prevent stroke are yet to be fully determined because of previous reliance on self-reporting measures. Furthermore, the association between objectively measured time spent being sedentary as an independent risk factor for stroke is unknown. Objective To investigate the associations of accelerometer-measured sedentary time and physical… Continue reading Association of Accelerometer-Measured Sedentary Time and Physical Activity With Risk of Stroke Among US Adults
Longitudinal associations of childhood fitness and obesity profiles with midlife cognitive function: an Australian cohort study
ObjectivesClusters of low fitness and high obesity in childhood are associated with poorer health outcomes in later life, however their relationship with cognition is unknown. Identifying such profiles may inform strategies to reduce risk of cognitive decline. This study examined whether specific profiles of childhood fitness and obesity were associated with midlife cognition. DesignProspective study.… Continue reading Longitudinal associations of childhood fitness and obesity profiles with midlife cognitive function: an Australian cohort study
Potato Protein Isolate Stimulates Muscle Protein Synthesis at Rest and with Resistance Exercise in Young Women
Citation ExportAbstractSkeletal muscle myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) increases in response to protein feeding and to resistance exercise (RE), where each stimuli acts synergistically when combined. The efficacy of plant proteins such as potato protein (PP) isolate to stimulate MPS is unknown. We aimed to determine the effects of PP ingestion on daily MPS with and… Continue reading Potato Protein Isolate Stimulates Muscle Protein Synthesis at Rest and with Resistance Exercise in Young Women
Daily steps and all-cause mortality: a meta-analysis of 15 international cohorts
BackgroundAlthough 10 000 steps per day is widely promoted to have health benefits, there is little evidence to support this recommendation. We aimed to determine the association between number of steps per day and stepping rate with all-cause mortality.MethodsIn this meta-analysis, we identified studies investigating the effect of daily step count on all-cause mortality in adults… Continue reading Daily steps and all-cause mortality: a meta-analysis of 15 international cohorts
Role of Cardiovascular Risk Factors on the Association Between Physical Activity and Brain Integrity Markers in Older Adults
Objective: Physical activity has been associated with a decreased risk for dementia, but the mechanisms underlying this association remain to be determined. Our objective was to assess whether cardiovascular risk factors mediate the association between physical activity and brain integrity markers in older adults. Methods: Participants from the Age-Well study underwent, at baseline, a physical… Continue reading Role of Cardiovascular Risk Factors on the Association Between Physical Activity and Brain Integrity Markers in Older Adults
Endothelial Piezo1 sustains muscle capillary density and contributes to physical activity
Piezo1 forms mechanically activated nonselective cation channels that contribute to endothelial response to fluid flow. Here we reveal an important role in the control of capillary density. Conditional endothelial cell–specific deletion of Piezo1 in adult mice depressed physical performance. Muscle microvascular endothelial cell apoptosis and capillary rarefaction were evident and sufficient to account for the… Continue reading Endothelial Piezo1 sustains muscle capillary density and contributes to physical activity
Prospective Analyses of Sedentary Behavior in Relation to Risk of Ovarian Cancer
To examine the association of sedentary behavior with risk of ovarian cancer overall, by tumor subtype, and by participant characteristics in the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) and NHSII. A total of 69,558 NHS (1992-2016) and 104,130 NHSII (1991-2015) participants were included in analysis who reported sitting time at home, work, and watching television, which included… Continue reading Prospective Analyses of Sedentary Behavior in Relation to Risk of Ovarian Cancer
Muscle-strengthening activities are associated with lower risk and mortality in major non-communicable diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies
Objective To quantify the associations between muscle-strengthening activities and the risk of non-communicable diseases and mortality in adults independent of aerobic activities. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. Data sources MEDLINE and Embase were searched from inception to June 2021 and the reference lists of all related articles were reviewed. Eligibility criteria… Continue reading Muscle-strengthening activities are associated with lower risk and mortality in major non-communicable diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies
