Summary: The study developed an AI model to construct a guided exercise prescription system for sub-healthy groups, which achieved high testing accuracy and low mean absolute error in predicting heart rate differences after following the suggested exercise modes. The system provides quantitative exercise prescriptions to guide the sub-healthy group to engage in effective exercise programs.

Summary: Sarcopenia is a muscle disorder characterized by reduced strength and mass, with resistance exercise recommended as the primary treatment. However, evidence on its benefits for sarcopenic older adults is limited, and optimal prescription and delivery remain unclear. The proposed resistance exercise program for sarcopenia includes two sessions per week focusing on upper- and lower-body exercises with high effort, serving as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers.

Summary: Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) and Crohn's disease exclusion diet (CDED) are both effective in inducing remission in pediatric CD patients. The study demonstrates that CDED is equally effective in adult CD patients, with 76.7% achieving clinical remission after 6 weeks.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed human longitudinal exercise interventions and found that moderate to high-intensity exercise for 30-90 min, at least 3 times per week (or 150-270 min per week) for 8 weeks or more, is likely to produce changes in the gut microbiota. Exercise appears to be effective in modifying the gut microbiota in both clinical and healthy populations. More rigorous methodology is needed for future studies to improve the certainty of the evidence.

Summary: Skeletal muscle is a dynamic organ that requires tight regulation of energy metabolism for effective function. Inborn errors of muscle energy metabolism (IEMEM) can impair skeletal muscle function and physical activity. Exercise testing can support diagnosis and improve functional capacity in adults with IEMEM, but its use in children is limited. Despite the potential benefits, data on exercise programs in pediatric populations are limited. This review focuses on the utilization and limitations of exercise testing and prescription in the management of specific IEMEM conditions.

Summary: Sarcopenia, an age-related neuromuscular disease, increases the risk for negative events. Resistance training is considered the best approach to counteract sarcopenia, but specific characteristics of older adults with sarcopenia need more consideration.

Summary: There is increasing focus on the roles of gut microbes in physiological and pathological processes. Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract with unknown causes. Gastrointestinal infection, particularly Yersinia enterocolitica, has been suggested as a possible trigger for CD, although its specific role is still debated. This review discusses the current understanding of how Y. enterocolitica and its compounds may be involved in the development of CD, as well as potential interventions for diagnosis and treatment.

Summary: This study analyzed the psychophysiological response of a Crohn's Disease patient in an ultra-endurance event. The results showed that the psychophysiological response of the Crohn's patient was similar to that of a non-Crohn's participant in the ultra-endurance event, except for differences in sympathetic modulation, sympathetic tone, and body temperature. This study could contribute to improving physical activity recommendations for persons with Crohn's Disease and provide new insights into the psychophysiological modifications of Crohn's Disease patients during exercise.

Summary: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a common rheumatic disease in young people. The physical activity of children and adolescents with JIA is lower than their healthy counterparts, which may be due to joint pain and decreased physical capacities. Increased physical activity and exercise have shown potential benefits in improving various health outcomes in JIA. However, more research is needed to establish evidence-based guidelines for physical activity and exercise prescription in this population.

Summary: Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can cause malnutrition in a significant percentage of patients, highlighting the importance of diet in managing the condition. This review aims to cover recent findings in nutrition for CD treatment, including established diets, new nutritional theories, and advancements in areas like nutrigenomics.

Summary: The development of Crohn's disease is characterized by a breakdown in the immune-bacterial communication, leading to a failure in mucosal defense mechanisms. This can result in a compromised epithelial barrier and dysregulated immune responses, ultimately causing chronic inflammation in the intestinal tissue. Understanding these cellular and molecular mechanisms may lead to targeted therapeutic approaches for treating CD.

Summary: The main objective of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of lower body strength assessment tests in the Armed Forces Physical Assessment System, as well as the relationship between the Spanish Armed forces' physical evaluation system and standardized evaluation protocols. A total of 905 military/civil bachelor's degree students participated in the study, with moderate correlations found between the vertical jump test used by the Army and the power or elastic force tests. The results suggest the need for more objective measurement tools to improve the assessment of lower body strength in different armed forces.

Summary: Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is a promising tool that can stimulate all the user's senses with computer-generated sensations and feedback. An exploratory study was conducted to explore the feasibility of using IVR reaction time tests as predictors of falls in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. The results showed that IVR reaction times were related to functionality, cognitive impairment, and the years of the patients, and IVR test could be a complementary assessment tool to prevent falls in PD patients.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the variations of training intensity and well-being measures of youth football player over a 38 week period, and to test the relationships between training intensity and well-being variations throughout a youth football season. The results showed significant differences in training intensity and well-being measures at different periods of the season, and variations in sleep quality seemed to depend on the variations in training intensity.
