To assess the effects of a wearable-sensor-assisted multicomponent exercise program on physical fitness, cognition and quality of life in a practical setting involving frail older adults.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory autoimmune characterized by inflammation-induced lesion formation after immune cell infiltration into the central nervous system. T cells play an intriguing role in...

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.

The incidence of ischemic stroke continues to rise globally, however, regular physical activity before stroke onset significantly lowers its occurrence. Here, we evaluated whether low-intensity exercise preconditioning c...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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...
