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

Non-target screening for the identification of migrating compounds from reusable plastic bottles into drinking water
Highlights•Migration of > 400 plastic related and > 3500 dishwasher related compounds. •The dishwashing process increased the migration of plastic related compounds. •Oligomers suspected from polycaprolactone (PCL) were migrating. •Three of the identified photoinitiators have possible endocrine disrupting effects. •Diethyltoluamide (DEET) may have been formed from the plasticizer laurolactam. AbstractReusable plastic sports bottles are used… Continue reading Non-target screening for the identification of migrating compounds from reusable plastic bottles into drinking water
Association of Physical Activity Level With Risk of Dementia in a Nationwide Cohort in Korea
Current guidelines recommend 500 to 999 metabolic equivalent (MET)–minutes per week (MET-min/wk) of regular physical activity. However, evidence regarding the association between light-intensity physical activity (LPA) and dementia in older adults is inconsistent. Objective To assess the association between physical activity and new-onset dementia, focusing on the dose-response association between physical activity and dementia and… Continue reading Association of Physical Activity Level With Risk of Dementia in a Nationwide Cohort in Korea
Comparing Video-Based, Telehealth-Delivered Exercise and Weight Loss Programs With Online Education on Outcomes of Knee Osteoarthritis
Scalable knee osteoarthritis programs are needed to deliver recommended education, exercise, and weight loss interventions. Objective:To evaluate two 6-month, telehealth-delivered exercise programs, 1 with and 1 without dietary intervention. Design:3-group, parallel randomized (5:5:2) trial. (Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12618000930280) Setting:Australian private health insurance members. Participants:415 persons with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and a body… Continue reading Comparing Video-Based, Telehealth-Delivered Exercise and Weight Loss Programs With Online Education on Outcomes of Knee Osteoarthritis
The effect of #trunk flexion angle on lower limb mechanics during #running
High trunk flexion during running impacts lower limb kinetics and kinematics. •Ground reaction forces increased significantly with greater trunk flexion. •Stride parameters and joint moments were affected by degree of trunk flexion. •Trunk position should be investigated as a contributing factor to running injury. AbstractTrunk flexion is an understudied biomechanical variable that potentially influences running… Continue reading The effect of #trunk flexion angle on lower limb mechanics during #running
#Physical Activity as a Critical Component of First-Line Treatment for Elevated Blood #Pressure or #Cholesterol: Who, What, and How?: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Current guidelines published by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology broadly recommend lifestyle approaches to prevent and treat elevated blood pressure and cholesterol. For patients with mildly or moderately elevated blood pressure and blood cholesterol, lifestyle-only approaches are the first line of therapy. The purpose of this scientific statement is to:… Continue reading #Physical Activity as a Critical Component of First-Line Treatment for Elevated Blood #Pressure or #Cholesterol: Who, What, and How?: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
The efficacy of #exergaming in people with major #neurocognitive disorder residing in long-term care facilities: a pilot randomized controlled trial
It is currently unknown whether exergaming is efficacious in people with major neurocognitive disorder (MNCD) residing in long-term care facilities. This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) explored the efficacy of a stepping exergame program on gait speed, balance, mobility, reaction time, cognitive and neuropsychiatric outcomes, quality of life, and daily life functioning in people with… Continue reading The efficacy of #exergaming in people with major #neurocognitive disorder residing in long-term care facilities: a pilot randomized controlled trial
#Caffeine increases maximal #fat oxidation during a graded exercise test: is there a diurnal variation?
There is evidence that caffeine increases the maximal fat oxidation rate (MFO) and aerobic capacity, which are known to be lower in the morning than in the afternoon. This paper examines the effect of caffeine intake on the diurnal variation of MFO during a graded exercise test in active men. Methods Using a triple-blind, placebo-controlled,… Continue reading #Caffeine increases maximal #fat oxidation during a graded exercise test: is there a diurnal variation?
Effect of High-Intensity Strength #Training on #Knee Pain and Knee Joint Compressive Forces Among Adults With Knee #Osteoarthritis
Thigh muscle weakness is associated with knee discomfort and osteoarthritis disease progression. Little is known about the efficacy of high-intensity strength training in patients with knee osteoarthritis or whether it may worsen knee symptoms. Objective To determine whether high-intensity strength training reduces knee pain and knee joint compressive forces more than low-intensity strength training and… Continue reading Effect of High-Intensity Strength #Training on #Knee Pain and Knee Joint Compressive Forces Among Adults With Knee #Osteoarthritis
