Abstract Background Cardiomyopathy is a major complication of type 2 diabetes, whose prevalence continues to rise globally. Although major cardiology and endocrinology societies endorse exercise training to reduce cardio...

Abstract Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) remains one of the most challenging malignancies to treat due to its aggressive proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, extensive angiogenesis, and capacity to evade conventional th...

The article investigates the effects of exercise modalities on metabolic disturbances and the gut microbiome in women with metabolic syndrome The relevance of the study is determined by the rapidly increasing prevalence ...

Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pul...

Abstract This study aimed to compare acute muscle damage responses of the elbow flexors following eccentric quasi-isometric (EQI) and eccentric (ECC) exercise. Thirty healthy young men were randomly assigned to EQI or EC...

Abstract Background Hospital-based simulations are vital for disaster preparedness. Anxiety and other emotions may affect hospital staff by influencing non-technical skills. We investigated self-reported emotional and or...

Abstract Background Cold water immersion (CWI) is a common method of post-exercise recovery, but the optimal protocols are not well understood. The lack of exercise-specific guidelines has caused confusion on how CWI sho...

BackgroundExercise interventions have been increasingly identified as potential non-pharmacological approaches to ameliorate cognitive and behavioural performance among children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disor...

Abstract Background Basketball is one of the most popular sports. In basketball, the energy demand from several combinations of aerobic and anaerobic sports in which athletes need physical fitness, explosive power, agili...

ObjectiveTo develop a Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) based exercise rehabilitation program for chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and evaluate its effectiveness.MethodsA randomized controlled trial was carried o...

Abstract Exercise is clinically recommended for patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD); however, their physical activity levels remain low. Guided by the theory of planned behavior, this study developed the Exercise Behav...

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effects of exercise therapies such as aerobic exercise (CAE), Tai Chi (TC), Baduanjin (BDJ), resistance training (RE), Wuqinxi (WQX), yoga (YG), and rehabilitation training (RT) on...

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Breathing-Daoyin Rehabilitation Techniques (TCM-BDRT) on lung function and exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods...

Abstract Introduction We conducted a network meta-analysis of randomized trials to assess the effect of different exercises on the renal and cardiovascular function of patients with chronic kidney disease not receiving d...

ObjectiveExcessive secretion of inflammatory biomarkers exerts adverse effects on muscle strength and function, and is associated with the development and progression of sarcopenia and frailty. For the improvement of inf...

Background This study aimed to compare the acute and residual physiological responses elicited by three different priming exercise strategies, including high-intensity priming exercise (HIPE), low-intensity priming exerc...

BackgroundExercise therapy is the first-line treatment for postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI); however, the optimal regimen remains unclear.ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the effects of different exercis...

Abstract The heart critically depends on a continuous supply of oxygen, provided by myocardial blood flow (MBF), but reliable quantification of MBF during maximal exercise is not feasible in humans. We measured MBF at re...

ABSTRACT Breast cancer treatment impairs aerobic and neuromuscular capacities, leading to a decrease in quality of life. Exercise may counteract these effects if it is individualized to patient characteristics. This stud...

Background. The human gastrointestinal tract contains a large community of microorganisms, known as the gut microbiota. Their metabolic and immunological functions influence host physiology. Disruption of this community,...
