Summary: This study investigated the effects of low-intensity resistance training combined with moderate blood flow restriction on muscle strength and size in patients early after cardiac surgery. The results showed that KAATSU RT can safely increase skeletal muscle strength and size, with improvements in muscle thickness, walking speed, and knee extensor strength.

Summary: Sarcopenia caused by aging is a key factor leading to a decline in the quality of life of older individuals. This study aimed to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training (RT) on skeletal muscle-related indices and provide a theoretical basis for delaying sarcopenia. The results showed that both HIIT and RT can reverse the age-related loss of muscle mass, with RT having a better effect. Additionally, HIIT showed better long-term intervention regarding pro-apoptotic factors. Further research is warranted to understand the underlying mechanisms of different exercise methods on aging skeletal muscle.

Summary: This investigation aimed to identify the impact of sex, training intensity, and frequency on long-term resistance exercise outcomes in older adults. The results showed that older men and women displayed similar long-term resistance exercise outcomes. Regardless of the frequency or intensity, the current prescriptions effectively increased strength, with high-intensity 2 days/week, low-intensity 3 days/week, and low-intensity 2 days/week training appearing to result in greater lower body strength.

Summary: Low-volume HIIT, involving short bouts of high-intensity exercise, has shown to provide similar, or even greater, health benefits compared to traditional aerobic exercises. The improvements seen in cardiorespiratory health, glucose control, and cardiac function may be attributed to enhanced mitochondrial function and insulin sensitivity. Additionally, low-volume HIIT is well-tolerated and safe for adults, with high exercise adherence rates and minimal adverse effects reported.

Summary: The study found that online exercise using Zoom and exercises supervised directly had similar training effects on strength, muscle mass, blood pressure, and arterial stiffness. However, the control group showed greater improvements in chair-stand and sit-and-reach test results compared to the online group.

Summary: This study found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may be more effective than moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in improving sarcopenia in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, further large-scale investigations are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Sarcopenia, a condition characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle quantity and function linked to aging, can be attenuated by physical activity, with high intensity interval training (HIIT) showing potential benefits in improving muscle function and physical performance in older individuals. However, more studies are needed, especially in the oldest old population and individuals already diagnosed with sarcopenia, to further understand the efficacy of HIIT in addressing this issue.

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: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a common method used to improve athletic performance, aid in rehabilitation, and prevent diseases. However, research suggests that exceeding a certain limit of HIIT might have detrimental effects on metabolic health.

Summary: The study demonstrated that aerobic exercise training could effectively prevent doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy and preserve cardiomyocyte ultrastructure, partially through activation of the physiological protein synthesis pathway and reduction of oxidative stress.

Summary: Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass, strength and function, is common in older adults and has various negative impacts on health. There are multiple definitions for sarcopenia, causing confusion in diagnosis. Resistance training is an effective approach to improve sarcopenia. Emphasis should be placed on optimizing training methods and long-term adherence rather than modifying sarcopenia definitions.

Summary: This study analyzed the metabolic behavior of active women over-60 during exercise and found that the switching of substrates from fat to carbohydrates was impaired, limiting power production and exercise capacity. The study suggests that decreased muscle power with age plays a key role in this metabolic inflexibility.

Summary: This cross-sectional study aimed to describe and analyze the metabolic flexibility/inflexibility in a group of active older women, and the impact of ageing and physical status on their oxidation rates and maximal fat oxidation. The results showed that physical status may play a key role in the preservation of metabolic health with aging in active women, despite the decrease in substrate oxidation with age.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the percentage of maximal blood flow restriction (BFR) using different methods. Results showed that using 100mm Hg and 130% resting brachial systolic blood pressure as application prescriptions resulted in safe pressures, while methods using standard values of 200mm Hg and 300mm Hg exceeded safe levels and carried additional risk during BFR exercise.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training on reducing anxiety in musicians. The results showed significant reductions in anxiety levels and improvements in heart rate variability indices after the training. This suggests that acute high-intensity exercise may be an effective solution for musicians to alleviate anxiety problems in the short term.

Summary: This study aimed to determine if the use of Evidence to Decision (EtD) frameworks is associated with higher quality guidelines and recommendations. Analysis of 66 guidelines showed that those using an EtD framework scored higher in quality domains. This suggests that endorsement of EtD frameworks by guideline developing organizations can improve the quality of their guidelines.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the impact of reallocating time spent in waking movement behaviours on indicators of psychological distress. The findings showed that for girls, substituting sedentary behavior or light physical activity time with moderate-vigorous physical activity time at baseline was associated with lower levels of anxiety and social stress at follow-up. However, substituting sedentary behavior with light physical activity time was associated with higher levels of anxiety at follow-up. These findings highlight the importance of specific physical activity recommendations for mental health, particularly considering sex differences.
