Here we compare the efficacy of anti-obesity drugs alone or combined with exercise training on body weight and exercise capacity of obese patients. Randomized clinical trials that assessed the impact of any anti-obesity ...

Background and Study Aim. Muscular endurance and physiological efficiency are relevant factors for middle-distance performance. While aerobic and resistance exercises improve these attributes, little is known about their...

To determine how the anti-inflammatory actions of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-6 differ across age and physical activity levels.

Ageing and obesity are major public health issues, both associated with reductions in muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. Muscle quality, which integrates the morphological and functional characteristics of ...

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) are both key parameters of intrinsic capacity. To date, the impact of adherence to physical activity guidelines by older adults on these facets is poorly und...

Independent mobility (IM), which is defined as the freedom of children moving without adult supervision, has been found to be positively associated with physical activity (PA). This study explored IM by sociodemographic ...

Background: Javelin throwing is a complex athletic skill that requires strength, speed, balance, and proper release mechanics. In school settings, many students struggle to master these fundamentals due to limited practi...

Physical activity (PA) levels in young people with cerebral palsy (YPwCP) remain consistently low. Previous research suggests that fitness parameters such as muscular strength and cardiovascular capacity are interrelated...

To assess the feasibility of methods and estimate the potential effect of interrupting sedentary behaviour, with intermittent or continuous physical activity breaks, on cognitive performance in young people with Cerebral...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex and multifaceted condition clinically characterized by high blood glucose. The management of T2D requires a holistic approach, typically involving a combination of pharmacological inter...

Abstract Background Physical exercise has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological approach for improving cognitive and physical function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, most existing int...

Objectives Promoting regular physical activity (PA) is essential in cardiac rehabilitation; yet many patients exhibit low levels of PA. In January 2022, the Improving Physical Activity (IMPACT) trial, a randomised contro...

Background There is limited evidence on the feasibility of remotely delivered exercise interventions for English-speaking Hispanics/Latinos with MS. Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and exploratory efficacy of a re...

Abstract The present study evaluated the effects of fermented whey protein using kimchi lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus casei DK211 on skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in healthy middle-...

The study evaluated the influence of immediate physical therapy on the functional recovery of hind limbs of dogs with experimental cranial cruciate ligament rupture which underwent surgical extracapsular stabilization as...

Abstract Background Exercise training often produces less weight loss than expected, a phenomenon termed exercise-induced energy compensation, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to quantify me...

Abstract Endurance exercise training is known to reduce risk for a range of complex diseases. However, the molecular basis of this effect has been challenging to study and largely restricted to analyses of either few or ...

To determine whether providing a choice between high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) within a 4-week diabetes prevention program may lead to greater perceived autonomy...

Background. Fibromyalgia, as a multidimensional syndrome, requires interventions that target multiple aspects of the disease simultaneously. This complexity underscores the importance of non-pharmacological strategies ai...

Abstract Neuroimmunological diseases arise from a complex interplay of genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, and immune-mediated mechanisms. In this context, modifiable lifestyle and environmental factors may ...

Despite decades of global attention, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) remain a significant challenge, with substantial personal and societal costs (1). The lack of progress in addressing this prevalent proble...

Objective To compare the effects of eccentric cycling (ECC), concentric cycling (CON), and standard care (CTL) on cardiopulmonary capacity, respiratory health, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic kidney di...

Abstract Objective Evaluate the effect of combined training on body image (BI), body composition and functional capacity in patients with breast cancer. As also the relationship of BI with body composition and functiona...

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pharyngeal musculature and genioglossus exercising as a postoperative rehabilitation intervention for patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OS...
