Summary: Fibromyalgia, a rheumatic disease characterized by chronic muscular pain, is treated through pharmacological interventions. This study aimed to analyze exercise programs for fibromyalgia patients and their effects. A systematic literature search identified 13 articles meeting the criteria, revealing beneficial effects of various exercise interventions in reducing symptoms and improving physical fitness and functional capacity. Combined training programs, lasting 60-90 minutes, with a low to moderate intensity, conducted three times a week, were found to be the most effective.

Summary: Physical training has little to no effect on whole body bone mineral density (WB BMD) in individuals with overweight/obesity. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to recommend any specific type of exercise for enhancing bone health in overweight/obese individuals.

Summary: The study evaluated the effect of exercise training on ectopic fat within skeletal muscle in adult populations with chronic diseases. The results showed that aerobic training and combined training of moderate intensity can reduce IMAT in individuals affected by chronic diseases. However, exercise may result in paradoxical IMAT accumulation in older individuals who are frail and at an advanced disease stage.

Summary: Athletes have a significantly higher risk of developing AF compared to non-athlete controls, particularly those participating in mixed sports and younger age groups. The mode of exercise and age are crucial factors influencing the risk of AF development.

Summary: Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) show systemic inflammation. Exercise interventions significantly reduce levels of inflammatory markers and increase levels of IL-10 in individuals with CKD. Resistance interventions have greater anti-inflammatory effects compared to aerobic interventions. Combined exercise interventions do not lead to significant changes in inflammatory markers.

Summary: Research shows that acute bouts of HIIT have a positive effect on inhibition in children/adolescents and adults, and that chronic HIIT benefits inhibition and working memory in children. Future research should focus on chronic interventions, middle-aged and older adults, and examine working memory and cognitive flexibility in executive function.

Summary: According to the 2016 ESC recommendations, moderate regular physical activity is beneficial for preventing atrial fibrillation (AF), while long-lasting vigorous sports engagement may lead to AF. This study synthesized 112 articles on AF and endurance athletes, confirming the negative effects of exercise on cardiac structure and function, as well as the associations between body composition and AF risk.

Summary: Research suggests a significant association between migraine, especially with visual aura, and atrial fibrillation. Ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation in patients with migraine may help reduce migraine attacks, but there are also potential complications, such as new-onset migraine-like headaches in individuals without a history of migraine.

Summary: HIIT has a positive effect on exercise capacity, pulmonary function, dyspnea, and quality of life in COPD patients. However, sensitivity analyses for dyspnea were not stable. More high-quality RCTs are needed to confirm the clinical efficacy of HIIT in patients with COPD.

Summary: This review evaluated the effect of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during exercise training. The results showed that NIV intervention can improve exercise performance, quality of life, and respiratory parameters compared to exercise alone. Further studies of higher methodological quality are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study compared the effects of resistance training programs implementing cluster and traditional set configurations on muscular and neuromuscular adaptations. Results showed that both cluster and traditional set configurations were equally effective in inducing muscular and neuromuscular adaptations.

Summary: A study comparing GLIM and ESPEN criteria for defining malnutrition in cardiovascular disease patients found that malnutrition defined by GLIM criteria was associated with low physical function and increased mortality risk. Malnutrition defined by both GLIM and ESPEN criteria was significantly related to all-cause mortality.

Summary: This study examined the sex differences in peak aerobic power and physical and mental health outcomes in adults with cardiovascular disease who completed high-intensity interval training-based cardiac rehabilitation. The results showed that there were no differences between sexes in the improvements of peak aerobic power and other health outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the differences in anxiety and depression among patients with cardiovascular disease before and after aerobic interval training-based cardiac rehabilitation, as well as comparing dropout rates between age groups. The results showed that younger and middle-aged adults experienced higher levels of anxiety upon entering cardiac rehabilitation compared to older adults. The study also found that cardiac rehabilitation was associated with a significant reduction in anxiety and depression severity, but younger adults had the highest dropout rates.

Summary: This study compared the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), Nordic walking (NW), and moderate-to-vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT) on functional capacity in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. The results showed that NW was the most effective in improving functional capacity, which is a predictor of future cardiovascular events.

Summary: The study determined the cutoff values of physical function associated with 6MWD < 300 m and < 400 m in elderly heart failure patients. Handgrip strength, quadriceps isometric strength, one-leg standing time, and 5-times sit-to-stand were found to be associated with 6MWD < 300 m and < 400 m.

Summary: This study found that twelve weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), moderate-to-vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT), and Nordic walking (NW) have prolonged effects on functional capacity, quality of life (QoL), and depression symptoms in patients with coronary artery disease. Nordic walking showed additional benefits in improving functional capacity.

Summary: This study compared the effects of 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate to vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT) on functional capacity and quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The results showed that both HIIT and MICT had similar effects in improving functional capacity, quality of life, resting heart rate, and physical activity levels in patients with persistent and permanent AF.

Summary: This study examined the acute responses to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The results showed modest increases in heart rate and blood pressure during HIIT, regardless of age and medication use. No adverse events were reported. These findings provide evidence for the feasibility of HIIT in individuals with AF.
