Summary: This study found that aerobic exercise training can prevent dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and atherogenesis induced by severe low-sodium diet. Aerobic exercise training can improve arterial lipid infiltration, reduce AT1 receptor levels, and improve peripheral insulin resistance caused by dietary restriction. Additionally, the effects of aerobic exercise training are independent of improvements in plasma lipid profile.

Summary: The study revealed that aerobic exercise training can alleviate hepatic lipid accumulation caused by a low-sodium diet, while improving insulin sensitivity and oxidative capacity. The low-sodium diet increased the expression of genes related to insulin resistance and lipid metabolism, but AET could partially prevent these adverse effects.

Summary: The study found that autonomous climbing has better effects on body weight control, glucose and energy metabolism in mice, while also promoting muscle myogenesis, hypertrophy, antidegradation, and mitochondrial function. This suggests that autonomous climbing enhances muscle mitochondrial function and protein balance in mice.

Summary: This study compared and evaluated the efficacy of aerobic and resistance training of different intensities and cycles on motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. It found that short-term high-intensity resistance training may be used as complementary therapy for patients with mild to moderate symptoms, and aerobic or resistance training of varying intensity and periodicity may be recommended as exercise prescription for Parkinson's disease patients. However, more large-scale and high-quality clinical trials are still needed to confirm the effectiveness of this exercise therapy.

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: Our research group has extensively demonstrated the increased cardiovascular risk after ovarian deprivation through cardiovascular autonomic analysis. Interventions involving different types of exercises have been recommended to prevent neuromuscular decline in postmenopausal women. However, there is limited research on the cardiovascular effects of different exercise modalities in ovariectomized animals. In this study, we found that the combination of aerobic and resistance training was more effective in preventing muscle mass loss and improving cardiovascular autonomic modulation and baroreflex sensitivity in ovariectomized rats compared to aerobic or resistance training alone.

Summary: Concurrent aerobic and strength training may have a small negative effect on fiber hypertrophy compared with strength training alone. The interference effect may be more pronounced when aerobic training is performed by running compared with cycling, at least for type I fibers.

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: Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of dementia, is linked to insulin resistance. Aerobic exercise training can help prevent or treat the negative outcomes of Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. miRNAs play a significant role in the gene regulation of both diseases. Expression of miRNAs is associated with pathophysiological mechanisms involved in type 2 diabetes. A few specific miRNAs have been identified as potential targets for treating the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether adding resistance training (RT) to combined caloric restriction (CR) and aerobic exercise training (AT) can reduce skeletal muscle loss and further improve outcomes in older obese heart failure patients. The results showed that adding RT to CR+AT increased leg muscle strength and quality, but did not reduce skeletal muscle and weight loss, or further increase VO2peak or quality-of-life.

Summary: The study quantified the effects of 8 weeks of home-based Pilates on symptoms of anxiety, depression and fatigue among PwMS. Results showed significant improvements in depressive and fatigue symptoms, as well as anxiety, cognitive, physical, psychosocial and total fatigue symptoms. The home-based Pilates significantly improved these symptoms among PwMS with minimal-to-mild mobility disability.

Summary: This meta-analysis provides evidence that PSSP interventions targeting STBs reduced suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among adolescents attending 329 schools, compared to controls. The number needed to treat estimates suggest that implementing PSSP in 1-2 classrooms could potentially reduce the incidence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in one adolescent. Larger effect sizes were found for interventions of a duration of <= 1 week, involving multiple stakeholders and with a 12-month follow-up.

Summary: This study examines the effects of pressure and competition anxiety on batting performance using a VR simulator. The results indicate that high skill individuals outperform low skill individuals and anxiety levels increase under high-pressure conditions. However, anxiety does not negatively impact batting performance.

Summary: Anxiety, depression, and suicide are major causes of disability and death among young people worldwide. Although schools are the ideal setting for addressing young people's mental health, their beliefs and experiences with school mental health and suicide prevention are not well understood. This study used a participatory-based approach to explore young people's perspectives on school mental health and suicide prevention, highlighting the critical role of schools in impacting young people's mental health and the need to amplify youth voice and involvement in school mental health. The findings have important implications for research, policy, and practice in youth and school mental health and suicide prevention.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials have shown that exercise training does not increase the risk of relapse, adverse events, or serious adverse events in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Therefore, exercise training can be considered safe and beneficial for individuals with MS.

Summary: This study found that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) can reduce the risk of depression among older adults with chronic illnesses. This is particularly important for older adults with type 2 diabetes, who are more likely to experience depressive symptoms. The study suggests that interventions should focus on promoting and ensuring compliance with MVPA guidelines among chronically-ill individuals, including those with type 2 diabetes, to prevent depression.

Summary: This randomized controlled trial showed that adherence to ecologically-valid, guidelines-based resistance exercise training (RET) can significantly reduce depressive symptoms in young adults with and without subclinical or analogue Generalized Anxiety Disorder (AGAD) and Major Depressive Disorder (AMDD). These findings support RET as a promising treatment for mild depression.
