The impact of physical exercise on metabolic risk, cardiovascular fitness, and body composition in older women over the past decade: a systematic review and meta-analysis; The effect of a 16-week high-speed strength training program on isokinetic muscle strength parameters and health-related quality of life in independent older adults: a clinical trial; Mindfulness combined with a cognitive-motor training task in Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment; Linking brain morphometry to psychometric measures and energy-metabolic biomarkers in adults with autism spectrum disorders; Identification of marker genes of non-cardiomyocytes in patients with diabetes and cardiomyopathy through single-cell analysis.
5. The impact of physical exercise on metabolic risk, cardiovascular fitness, and body composition in older women over the past decade: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
About the work.
The study aims to evaluate the impact of physical exercise on metabolic risks, cardiovascular health, and body composition in healthy older women. The results of controlled trials involving women engaging in physical activity were compared with a control group without physical activity.
Results.
Physical exercise significantly reduced triglyceride levels (-8.56 mg/dL), total cholesterol (-26.67 mg/dL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (-23.77 mg/dL), blood glucose levels (-5.59 mg/dL), and C-reactive protein (-0.86 mg/L). Improvements in cardiovascular health included increased VO2peak (+2.78 mL/kg/min) and decreased systolic (-8.35 mm Hg) and diastolic pressure (-3.26 mm Hg).
4. The effect of a 16-week high-speed strength training program on isokinetic muscle strength parameters and health-related quality of life in independent older adults: a clinical trial.
About the work.
The study aims to evaluate the impact of a 16-week high-speed strength training program on isokinetic muscle strength parameters and quality of life in older adults. The study involved 79 independent older adults divided into an intervention group and a control group.
Results.
The intervention group showed a significant improvement in peak torque for knee extensors on the dominant side (change: 14.02 Nm).
3. Mindfulness combined with a cognitive-motor training task in Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment.
About the work.
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining mindfulness and cognitive-motor dual tasks in patients with Parkinson's disease and mild cognitive impairment. The study involved 53 individuals who were randomly assigned to three groups.
Results.
The combined intervention led to greater improvements in global cognitive function, motor symptoms, depression, sleep quality, quality of life, and postural stability compared to the other groups.
2. Linking brain morphometry to psychometric measures and energy-metabolic biomarkers in adults with autism spectrum disorder.
About the work.
The study aims to investigate the relationship between brain morphometry, psychometric measures, and metabolic biomarkers in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study involved 145 adults, of whom 74 had ASD and 71 were in the control group.
