Objective To perform a large-scale pairwise and network meta-analysis on the effects of all relevant exercise training modes on resting blood pressure to establish optimal antihypertensive exercise prescription practices.Design Systematic review and network meta-analysis.Data sources PubMed (Medline), the Cochrane library and Web of Science were systematically searched.Eligibility criteria Randomised controlled trials published between 1990 and February 2023. All relevant… Continue reading #Exercise training and resting blood #pressure: a large-scale pairwise and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Dietary weight loss-induced improvements in metabolic function are enhanced by exercise in people with obesity and prediabetes
The additional therapeutic effects of regular exercise during a dietary weight loss program in people with obesity and prediabetes are unclear. Here, we show that whole-body (primarily muscle) insulin sensitivity (primary outcome) was 2-fold greater (P = 0.006) after 10% weight loss induced by calorie restriction plus exercise training (Diet+EX; n = 8, 6 women) than 10% weight loss induced… Continue reading Dietary weight loss-induced improvements in metabolic function are enhanced by exercise in people with obesity and prediabetes
Accelerometer-measured intensity-specific physical activity, genetic risk and incident type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohort study
Objective Although 30 min/day of moderate-intensity physical activity is suggested for preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D), the current recommendations exclusively rely on self-reports and rarely consider the genetic risk. We examined the prospective dose-response relationships between total/intensity-specific physical activity and incident T2D accounting for and stratified by different levels of genetic risk.Methods This prospective cohort study was… Continue reading Accelerometer-measured intensity-specific physical activity, genetic risk and incident type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohort study
Vegan and Omnivorous High Protein Diets Support Comparable Daily Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis Rates and Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in Young Adults
AbstractBackgroundIt remains unclear whether non–animal-derived dietary protein sources (and therefore vegan diets) can support resistance training-induced skeletal muscle remodeling to the same extent as animal-derived protein sources.MethodsIn Phase 1, 16 healthy young adults (m = 8, f = 8; age: 23 ± 1 y; BMI: 23 ± 1 kg/m2) completed a 3-d dietary intervention (high… Continue reading Vegan and Omnivorous High Protein Diets Support Comparable Daily Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis Rates and Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in Young Adults
Association of Daily Step Patterns With Mortality in US Adults
Importance Previous studies have shown that individuals who regularly walk, particularly 8000 daily steps or more, experience lower mortality. However, little is known about the health benefits of walking intensively only a few days a week.Objective To evaluate the dose-response association between the number of days an individual takes 8000 steps or more and mortality… Continue reading Association of Daily Step Patterns With Mortality in US Adults
Modifiable risk factors and long term risk of type 2 diabetes among individuals with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus: prospective cohort study
Objectives To evaluate the individual and combined associations of five modifiable risk factors with risk of type 2 diabetes among women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus and examine whether these associations differ by obesity and genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetesSetting Nurses’ Health Study II, US.Participants 4275 women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus, with… Continue reading Modifiable risk factors and long term risk of type 2 diabetes among individuals with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus: prospective cohort study
Physical activity, diet quality and all-cause cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality: a prospective study of 346 627 UK Biobank participants
AbstractObjectives To examine independent and interactive associations of physical activity and diet with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and physical activity, diet and adiposity-related (PDAR) cancer mortality.Methods This population-based prospective cohort study (n=346 627) is based on the UK Biobank data with linkage to the National Health Service death records to 30 April 2020. A left-truncated Cox… Continue reading Physical activity, diet quality and all-cause cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality: a prospective study of 346 627 UK Biobank participants
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
Clustering of COPD patients and their response to pulmonary rehabilitation
Background and objectivePulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is fundamental in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD patients show a large clinical heterogeneity that may influence their response to PR. Identification of homogeneous clusters of patients who may or may not respond to PR is important to personalize patient care. This study aimed at identifying… Continue reading Clustering of COPD patients and their response to pulmonary rehabilitation
