Summary: This study aimed to compare the hypoalgesic effects of elbow flexion low-load resistance exercise and high-load resistance exercise on healthy individuals. The results showed that both low-load and high-load resistance exercise significantly reduced pain threshold, indicating a decrease in pain sensitivity. Furthermore, changes in blood pressure and perceived exertion did not mediate the changes in pain threshold.

Summary: In this study, a machine learning-based system for lower-limb exercise training was designed to assist older adults with knee pain. The system includes video demonstrations, real-time feedback, and exercise progress tracking. A survey was conducted to assess the participants' perceptions of the system, and the results showed that age, gender, duration and intensity of knee pain, exercise therapy experience, and technology-supported exercise program experience influenced their perceptions. The findings suggest the potential of the system for managing knee pain in older adults, and further research on its usability, acceptance, and clinical effectiveness is needed.

Summary: This study found that aerobic exercise significantly reduced systolic daytime variability and central SBP in hypertensive patients, while isometric handgrip exercise did not affect blood pressure variability but tended to lower central SBP.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between modifiable metabolic factors and gallstone in a region with a high prevalence of pigment stone.It was found that hypertension, diabetes, age, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, visceral fat index, muscle area index, and the frequency of vigorous exercise were associated with gallstone. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a positive association between high HbA1c and gallstone, while engaging in vigorous exercise for at least 2 days per week may be related to a lower risk of gallstone formation.

Summary: This study aims to verify the influence of beta-blockers or angiotensin receptor blockers on cardiovascular responses to exercise training in hypertensive post-menopausal women. The findings show that angiotensin receptor blockers have a pronounced effect on awake ambulatorial systolic blood pressure, while beta-blockers users have greater effects on blood pressure variability. Additionally, exercise can mitigate blood pressure reactivity to stress with no differences between groups. However, there were no major differences in heart rate variability.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of amiloride on exercise tolerance and blood pressure during blood-flow-restricted (BFR) exercise in healthy adults. The results demonstrated that a single oral dose of 10 mg amiloride significantly increased time to failure and time-tension index, while not affecting perceived pain. However, amiloride had no significant influence on mean blood pressure and heart rate responses.

Summary: The present study aimed to investigate the acute effects of blood pressure and blood glucose after two sessions of combined exercise in trained individuals with cardiovascular risk factors. The results showed that both moderate and high intensity combined exercises led to a temporary reduction in systolic blood pressure and glycemia in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors.

Summary: The definition of exaggerated blood pressure response (EBPR) during exercise testing is not well defined, and there are differing blood pressure thresholds recommended in various guidelines. This study found that the prevalence of EBPR varied depending on the guidelines used, with the highest prevalence using the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines and the lowest prevalence using the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines. In adult athletes, only the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines and the systolic blood pressure/MET slope method were predictive of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), independent of age and sex.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of VR-facilitated exercise to modulate pain. The results showed that VR-facilitated exercise can improve pain perception, which may be particularly beneficial for patients with chronic pain or in need of physical therapy.

Summary: The cardiovascular response in type 2 diabetes patients is exaggerated and linked to TRPV1 activation, potentially due to sensitization of muscle afferents. This sensitization is associated with PKC-induced TRPV1 overactivity, leading to enhanced circulatory response to TRPV1 activation in hyperglycemic conditions.

Summary: The study found that low peak systolic blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of mortality and future cardiovascular disease. Using reference standards for peak systolic blood pressure could facilitate clinical risk stratification across patients of varying sex, age, and exercise capacity.

Summary: There is a high inter-individual variation in blood pressure after different exercise modalities in older adults with hypertension, and various exercise modalities might acutely reduce 24-hour blood pressure in this population.

Summary: Studies have shown that a single bout of acute aerobic exercise can effectively reduce 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime blood pressure in hypertensive patients, with similar effects in both medicated and non-medicated individuals. Aerobic exercise has the most significant impact on blood pressure, while resistance or combined (aerobic and resistance) exercise has no significant effects on blood pressure.

Summary: The study found that there is a L-shaped association between occupational physical activity (OPA) and new-onset hypertension in males, and a U-shaped association in females. Moderate OPA in terms of both duration and intensity is associated with a lower risk of new-onset hypertension among both males and females, whereas heavy OPA was related to increased risk of new-onset hypertension in females.

Summary: Exercise is beneficial for preventing cognitive dysfunction, but the physiological mechanism(s) of how it improves cognitive function remains unclear, leading to the lack of an established exercise prescription for preventing dementia. However, recent research suggests that individual differences in cardiovascular responses to exercise or its associated physiological factors may be related to exercise-induced changes in cognitive function. Considering individual cardiovascular responses is therefore important when developing exercise prescriptions to prevent cognitive dysfunction.

Summary: Research shows a high prevalence of food insecurity among college students, which may lead to depression and increased risk of pain. The study found a positive association between food insecurity, depression, and pain interference, with depression playing a significant mediating role in the relationship between food insecurity and pain interference.

Summary: Resting blood pressure and heart rate variability are linked to physical pain. Research also shows a connection between social pain and physical pain, as well as an inverse association between resting blood pressure and social pain. However, little is known about the relationship between resting heart rate variability and social pain. The study aimed to replicate the link between social pain and physical pain, confirm the inverse relationship between resting blood pressure and social pain, and explore the connection between resting heart rate variability and social pain. The results indicated no association between social pain and physical pain, but showed an inverse association between resting blood pressure and social pain. Resting low-frequency heart rate variability was inversely associated with social pain, while resting high-frequency heart rate variability was positively associated with social pain. These findings suggest that physical pain and social pain may share biological substrates involved in blood pressure regulation and pain control.
