Trajectories of #Physical Activity Before and After #Cardiovascular Disease Events in CARDIA Participants

Importance  Moderate to vigorous–intensity physical activity (MVPA) is essential for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but long-term patterns around CVD events remain underexplored.Objective  To evaluate MVPA trajectories across adulthood, pre-CVD and post-CVD changes, and demographic variations.Design, Setting, and Participants  Data were drawn from CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults), a… Continue reading Trajectories of #Physical Activity Before and After #Cardiovascular Disease Events in CARDIA Participants

#Electrophysiological correlates of dynamic #cycling in #Parkinson’s diseaseAuthor

Physical exercise like dynamic cycling has shown promise in enhancing motor function in Parkinson’s disease (PD). We examined the underlying mechanisms of dynamic cycling in PD, emphasizing its impact on the activity of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), a pivotal region within the basal ganglia.MethodsThe investigation involved 100 dynamic cycling sessions conducted among nine PD individuals.… Continue reading #Electrophysiological correlates of dynamic #cycling in #Parkinson’s diseaseAuthor

Daily #steps and #health outcomes in #adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

BackgroundDespite the rapid increase in evidence from the past decade on daily steps and health-related outcomes, existing systematic reviews primarily focused on few outcomes, such as all-cause mortality. This study synthesised the prospective dose-response relationship between daily steps and health outcomes including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, cognitive outcomes, mental health outcomes,… Continue reading Daily #steps and #health outcomes in #adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

Association of #Weekend #Warrior and Other Physical #Activity Patterns With #Mortality Among Adults With #Diabetes: A Cohort Study

Background:“Weekend warrior” and regularly active physical activity patterns have been associated with reduced mortality risk in the general population. The association in patients with diabetes is unknown.Objective:To examine the associations of different physical activity patterns, particularly weekend warrior and regularly active behavior, with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality among adults with diabetes.Design:Prospective cohort study.Setting:National Health… Continue reading Association of #Weekend #Warrior and Other Physical #Activity Patterns With #Mortality Among Adults With #Diabetes: A Cohort Study

Effects of various #exercise interventions in #insomnia patients: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Objectives To compare the effectiveness of different exercise interventions in improving sleep quality and alleviating insomnia severity among patients with insomnia.Design Our study design was a systematic review and network meta-analysis.Eligibility criteria Our study eligibility criteria was restricted to include randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving adults with insomnia that evaluated exercise-based interventions.Data sources PubMed, Cochrane… Continue reading Effects of various #exercise interventions in #insomnia patients: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Cumulative associations between #health behaviours, mental well-being, and health over 30 years

BackgroundBoth the number of risky health behaviours and the duration of exposure to these behaviours over time may increase the risk of later adverse outcomes. This study examined cumulative associations of risky health behaviours with both positive and negative aspects of mental well-being and health. It has a uniquely long follow-up period of over 30 years,… Continue reading Cumulative associations between #health behaviours, mental well-being, and health over 30 years

#Running is acceptable and efficacious in adults with non-specific chronic low #back pain: the ASTEROID randomised controlled trial

AbstractObjectives Running is one of the most accessible forms of exercise, yet its suitability for adults with chronic low back pain (LBP) is unknown. This study assessed the efficacy and acceptability of running in adults with chronic LBP.Methods This two-arm parallel (1:1) individually randomised controlled trial allocated 40 participants (mean (SD) age: 33 (6) years,… Continue reading #Running is acceptable and efficacious in adults with non-specific chronic low #back pain: the ASTEROID randomised controlled trial

Effect of #Tai Chi vs Aerobic #Exercise on Blood #Pressure in Patients With PrehypertensionA Randomized Clinical Trial

Importance  Prehypertension increases the risk of developing hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Early and effective intervention for patients with prehypertension is highly important.Objective  To assess the efficacy of Tai Chi vs aerobic exercise in patients with prehypertension.Design, Setting, and Participants  This prospective, single-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted between July 25, 2019, and January 24, 2022, at 2… Continue reading Effect of #Tai Chi vs Aerobic #Exercise on Blood #Pressure in Patients With PrehypertensionA Randomized Clinical Trial

Prospective Associations of Different Combinations of #Aerobic and #Muscle-Strengthening Activity With All-Cause, #Cardiovascular, and Cancer Mortality

Studies examining the associations of different combinations of intensity-specific aerobic and muscle strengthening activity (MSA) with all-cause and cause-specific mortality are scarce; the few available estimates are disparate.Objective  To examine the prospective associations of different combinations of moderate aerobic physical activity (MPA), vigorous aerobic physical activity (VPA), and MSA with all-cause, cardiovascular (CVD), and cancer mortality.Design,… Continue reading Prospective Associations of Different Combinations of #Aerobic and #Muscle-Strengthening Activity With All-Cause, #Cardiovascular, and Cancer Mortality
