Summary: This study investigated the effects of a single bout of aerobic exercise performed after 2:00 pm on subsequent night's sleep in patients with depression. While the exercise did not affect sleep efficiency, it had a strong beneficial effect on mood states, including depressiveness.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of a single bout of aerobic exercise on sleep in patients with depression. The results showed that aerobic exercise had no effect on sleep efficiency but had a strong beneficial effect on mood and did not increase adverse outcomes. These findings suggest that exercise after 02:00 pm is not detrimental for sleep, contrary to sleep hygiene recommendations.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the effect of a single bout of aerobic exercise on nocturnal heart rate variability and pre-sleep arousal in patients with unipolar depression. The findings did not show a significant impact of the exercise intervention on sleep quality and depressive symptoms. Further research is needed to confirm these results and explore the potential benefits of regular exercise for patients with depression.

Summary: The study revealed a significant correlation between nasal resistance measured in the supine position and the severity of oxygen desaturation in OSA patients, especially in moderate to severe cases. Body mass index and nasal resistance at 75 Pa in the supine position were identified as independent predictors for increased oxygen desaturation index.

Summary: This article examines the novel hypothesis that physical exercise and sleep have synergistic effects on memory. The study found that exercise can trigger mechanisms that can create an optimal brain state during sleep to facilitate memory processing. Additionally, the article discusses the possibility that exercise could counteract the deleterious effects of sleep deprivation on memory by protecting neuroplasticity.

Summary: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent condition worldwide and if left untreated, it can lead to multiple medical complications and a decreased quality of life. Using total bed time instead of total sleep time to quantify OSA severity may underestimate the severity of the disease. A study found that risk factors for underestimating OSA severity include age and body-mass index.

Summary: Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to adapt structurally and functionally in response to experience, and is associated with learning, memory, and cognitive improvements. Lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, and sleep influence the brain's propensity for neuroplasticity. This review combines evidence from molecular, systems, and behavioral neuroscience to explain how these lifestyle factors affect neuroplasticity.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence, severity, and type of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in acute stroke patients. The findings showed that SDB is common among acute stroke patients and may have negative impacts on functional outcomes. The implementation of polysomnography in the clinical practice of acute stroke work-up and management is important.

Summary: This study aimed to verify the relationships between serum-free fatty acids (FA), inflammatory processes, and depressive symptoms in obese adolescents. The results showed positive correlations between depressive symptoms and saturated fatty acids (SFA) content, body fat, and inflammatory adipokines. On the other hand, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) content was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms. However, further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the causality between dietary SFA and depression in obese individuals.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of an active warm-up and time-of-day variation on repeated-sprint performance and post-exercise recovery. The results showed that a warm-up improved sprint performance, and sprints performed in the late afternoon were better. Additionally, warm-up also led to faster post-exercise recovery.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the direct influence of training load on sleep behavior during the tapering phase of training for young swimmers. The results show that there is no significant influence of training load on sleep variables. However, a strong association between total sleep time (TST) and external load (EL) was observed in the irregular sleep group.

Summary: This review examines the methods used to assess external load in Paralympic sports, aiming to provide scientific evidence for multidisciplinary teams to prescribe and monitor athlete's development, enhance performance, and reduce injury/illness risks. The study identified 8 methods to quantify external load in 8 different Paralympic sports and highlights the need for further research to validate the effectiveness and reliability of these methods.

Summary: Intermittent fasting (IF) is commonly used by combat sports athletes for weight loss but may decrease performance. This study examined the effects of IF on body weight and Taekwondo performance. The results showed that IF led to a decrease in body weight in the first two weeks but stabilized afterwards. Performance in vertical jumping had different patterns in fed and fasted states. Despite the decrease in body weight, IF did not significantly impact performance.

Summary: This study found that the quantity and quality of sleep are associated with musculoskeletal injuries in adolescent track and field athletes. Wake after sleep onset (WASO) is related to previous injuries, while time awake (TA) is related to injury occurrence. Furthermore, during the vacation period, athletes had lower TA and WASO, and higher total sleep time (TST) compared to school days.

Summary: The lack of studies on the effects of restrictive diets in paralympic athletes with Spinal Cord Injury justifies the need for this review. Spinal Cord Injury causes metabolic alterations, changes in digestive functions, and imbalance in body composition. Low carb diets and intermittent fasting can reduce body mass but may not be suitable for athletes during high-intensity training due to potential negative effects on performance and health.
