Summary: This study demonstrated the feasibility of using a mouse model of partial cervical spinal hemisection to investigate the impact of exercise training on locomotor/respiratory plasticity muscles. The results showed that exercise training increased running capacity, improved muscle vascularization, and enhanced fatigue resistance in trained SCI mice, suggesting a promising non-invasive strategy to sustain locomotor and respiratory muscle plasticity following SCI.

Summary: Previous research has shown that concurrent training (CT) may reduce muscle strength and mass gains induced by resistance training (RT), but very intense high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols can minimize the interference effect. When performing CT, implementing very intense HIIT protocols is recommended to avoid the interference effect on muscle strength and mass.

Summary: Both velocity-specific and isometric exercises were effective in promoting cervical muscle functions and performance, with no significant differences between the two in various muscle indicators. Velocity-specific exercise demonstrated greater enhancement in neuromuscular efficiency of the cervical extensors.

Summary: This study compared the effects of different aerobic training protocols on cardiometabolic variables in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The results showed that low-volume high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve cardiorespiratory capacity more effectively than low-volume moderate intensity continuous training (MICT). Other variables also showed improvements with all three training protocols.

Summary: Moderate aerobic exercise training can improve mitochondrial function and structure in skeletal muscle, reducing obesity and hyperglycemia induced by high-fat diet. Exercise attenuates mitochondrial dysfunction, imbalance of fusion and fission, and dysregulation of mitophagy caused by high-fat diet, ultimately mitigating obesity-induced insulin resistance.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a 30-day altitude training on Paralympic athletes. The results showed that aerobic performance initially decreased but significantly improved after a certain period of training. Anaerobic parameters decreased initially but returned to their initial levels after further training. Hematological analysis revealed increased levels of hemoglobin after the training, which gradually returned to pre-training levels. Complex network analysis highlighted the importance of hemoglobin and hematocrit in improving endurance performance.

Summary: Aerobic exercise training (AET) can improve heart disease by restoring calcium (Ca2+) handling, optimizing intracellular Ca2+ flow, and attenuating cardiac functional impairment. However, the effects of AET on Ca2+ transit and cardiac function in rats with heart failure caused by aortic stenosis (AoS) remain unclear. This study evaluated the impact of AET on Ca2+ handling and cardiac function in rats with AoS-induced heart failure.

Summary: This study found that preseason body composition is associated with in-season player availability and injury. Body composition characteristics expressed as relative values were more highly associated with in-season availability and injury than characteristics expressed as absolute values. Players with higher relative fat mass had significantly greater odds of missing games to injury throughout a season compared to players with lower relative fat mass.

The results showed that 24 essential elements reached consensus after revisions, with an average importance rating of 4.28 or higher. These elements can provide guidance to healthcare professionals in optimizing dietary and exercise care for cancer survivors.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of supervised exercise during chemoradiotherapy for high-grade glioma patients. The results showed that only half of the patients were able to complete the exercise intervention, but for those who did, it was safe and significantly improved strength and function, potentially preventing deterioration in body composition and quality of life.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of supervised exercise before and after prostatectomy in men with prostate cancer. The results showed that prehabilitation exercise improved muscle strength and function before surgery, while rehabilitation exercise post-surgery helped in recouping strength and function. The study suggests that engaging in exercise before surgery is beneficial for men undergoing prostatectomy.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and initial efficacy of exercise in older patients with advanced pancreatic cancer undergoing first-line chemotherapy. Six patients aged 60-75 years participated in a 12-week exercise program which included resistance and aerobic training, as well as boxing-related activities. Results showed high attendance rates and improvements in body composition, muscle strength, functional ability, and patient-reported outcomes. All patients had a positive attitude towards exercise therapy and expressed a willingness to continue exercising.
