Despite the well-documented benefits of exercise for adolescents’ physical and mental health, exercise remains an underutilized strategy for improving the health of trans adolescents. This is notable because, compared ...

People living with severe mental illness have a reduced life expectancy when compared to the general population largely due to physical health comorbidities. Exercise is a valuable, evidence-based component of mental hea...

People living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) may face unique barriers to physical activity. Active video games may overcome these barriers and increase physical activity. The primary aim...

This study examined the effects of step-reduction and subsequent step-recovery and exercise rehabilitation on systemic metabolism in older adults.

Abstract Beneficial adaptations to exercise depend on the normal function of the endocrine system. Whether commonly prescribed antihypertensive medication inhibits erythropoietin (EPO) production with exercise, a key res...

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 ...

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...

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 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...

The ongoing advancement of aerospace technology globally offers technical support for human exploration of outer space. Nevertheless, astronauts encounter microgravity environments during their missions in outer space, w...

Walking sports, whereby traditional disciplines of sport modify gameplay by limiting physical activity to walking only, may offer benefits for physical activity engagement and subjective wellbeing outcomes in older adult...
