Summary: The study investigates the impact of reallocating time spent in different intensities of physical activity (PA) on sarcopenia risk in older adults. The results show that reallocating sedentary time to at least light-intensity PA is significantly related to a lower sarcopenia risk score (SRS), even after adjustment for PA type and protein intake. Similarly, reallocating time in light- to moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PA is also related to a lower SRS. These findings emphasize the importance of displacing sedentary behaviors for more active pursuits in older adults to alleviate age-related deterioration of muscle health.

Summary: Despite weight loss surgery leading to reductions in fat mass and lean mass, there is no improvement in absolute oxygen uptake capacity. The decrease in lean mass is associated with altered muscular aerobic capacity, as shown by a reduced first ventilatory threshold.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the surface electromyography (sEMG) parameters for estimating muscle mass. The results showed that sEMG parameters were positively correlated with maximal voluntary contraction strength, segmental lean mass, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass, but negatively correlated with segmental fat mass. Under controlled conditions, sEMG parameters can represent overall muscle strength and muscle mass in healthy individuals.

Summary: In this study, it was found that fermented antler (FA) produced by Lactobacillus curvatus HY7602 improved muscle mass and strength in an aging-induced muscle loss model. FA supplementation increased muscle strength and swimming time, improved blood biomarkers, and enhanced muscle synthesis while inhibiting muscle proteolysis. These findings suggest that FA can effectively ameliorate muscle decline in aging individuals.

Summary: The study examined the additional effects of exercise and essential amino acid supplementation on muscle mass, strength, and walking ability in older women with muscle decline but no weakness or slowness. While the combination showed benefits in reducing low back discomfort, no additional effects were observed in primary outcomes such as muscle mass and strength in this population.

Summary: The study found that individuals with low household income and education status had poor handgrip strength compared to those with high SES, and the effect of muscle exercise in improving handgrip strength was greater for people with low SES. Additionally, muscle exercise mediated the relationship between muscle strength and low SES, highlighting the importance of exercise for individuals with low socioeconomic status in improving muscle strength.

Summary: This systematic review evaluated the impact of exercise on muscle mass, strength, and physical performance in older adults with sarcopenia according to the EWGSOP criteria. The results indicated a significant effect on physical performance, a moderate effect on muscle strength, but inconsistent effects on muscle mass. The evidence level ranged from low to high across these outcomes.

Summary: Resistance exercise after first-line treatment in ovarian cancer survivors improves muscle mass and density, muscle strength, physical function, and quality of life without negative effects on pelvic floor symptoms. Larger studies are needed to confirm these benefits in supportive care for ovarian cancer.

Summary: Resistance training using lower loads can effectively enhance strength, gait speed, mobility, and health, and can be a viable alternative to traditional higher load training. These findings are important for those who face barriers to regular resistance training, such as confidence with external loads and access to training facilities. Lower load resistance training can lead to similar or even superior physiological adaptations and is beneficial for individuals at risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, as well as those with reduced mobility.

Summary: Sarcopenia, cachexia, and muscle atrophy caused by inactivity or disease lead to a reduction in skeletal muscle mass and anabolic hormones, increasing mortality, hospitalization, and decreasing quality of life. Physical exercise and anabolic-androgenic steroid interventions can improve patient outcomes, with a combination of both yielding better results in increasing muscle strength and mass.

Summary: The present study found that an individualized resistance training progression model based on session rating of perceived exertion (RPE) can result in similar gains in muscle strength and mass compared to a conventional predetermined progression method (PP), while reducing the number of high-intensity training sessions.

Summary: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between different types of exercise and nutrient intake in young adults. The results showed that resistance exercise was associated with higher intake of protein and certain vitamins, as well as a lower percentage of calories from carbohydrates. Aerobic exercise was associated with higher intake of fiber and certain vitamins, and a lower percentage of calories from protein. Structured physical activity was associated with higher intake of pectin. Overall, the study suggests that different types of exercise are linked to specific nutrient intake in young adults.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the independent and interaction effects between long-term exposure to PM2.5 and physical activity on blood pressure and hypertension. The results showed that physical activity can decrease blood pressure and hypertension risks, while PM2.5 has the opposite effects. Furthermore, PM2.5 can attenuate the beneficial effects of physical activity on blood pressure and modify the association between physical activity and the risk of hypertension.
