We tested the hypothesis that a longer eccentric contraction (5-s) would induce greater effects on older adults than a shorter contraction (3-s).Methods: Forty-six healthy older adults (77.1 ± 7.0 y) performed six bodyweight resistance exercises twice weekly for 10 weeks with 3-s (n = 24) or 5-s (n = 22) eccentric contractions but minimum effort for concentric contractions in each exercise, thus the between group difference was only the eccentric contraction duration. Resting heart rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength of the knee extensors (MVC), five-times sit-to-stand (5STS), 3-m timed up and go (TUG), 6-m normal walking time (6WT), one-leg standing test with eyes open (OLST) and blood lipid parameters were assessed before and after the intervention, and compared between groups using two-way repeated-measures ANOVA.Results: No significant differences were observed between groups (P = 0.159-0.914) for changes in the measures. Both groups showed significant (P < 0.05) improvements in SBP ( ~ - 5%), MVC (~ 8%), 5STS ( ~ - 7%), TUG ( ~ - 5%), total cholesterol ( ~ - 6%), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( ~ - 9%). It is interesting to note that attrition was lower in the 3-s group (17%) than the 5-s group (50%).Conclusion: These results did not support the hypothesis and showed no significant differences between groups. The higher retention in the 3-s group may suggest greater practicality, although this may not be attributed to the contraction duration alone.","PeriodicalId":12005,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Applied Physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149007954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A single session of HWI (40 °C for 30 min with the water level at the sternum) and END (cycling 30 min at 60-70% of max heart rate [HR]) were carried out in randomised order, separated by at least 72 h. Core body temperature (Tc) and HR were monitored throughout each session. Blood pressure and ventricular parameters, including LV global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), were assessed before and after each session.Results: A significant increase in Tc was greater after HWI (Δ0.91 ± 0.32 °C) than END (Δ0.72 ± 0.29 °C; interaction: p = 0.004). Similarly, HR increased more after HWI than END (Δ33 ± 14 vs. Δ25 ± 12 bpm; p = 0.042) and HWI induced greater reductions in post-intervention SBP (Δ-5.7 ± 10.0 vs. Δ0.6 ± 6.6 mmHg; p = 0.019) and DBP (Δ-9.2 ± 9.2 vs. Δ-1.5 ± 5.1 mmHg; p = 0.001).

While this association is well established in male population, sex-specific evidence in women is still limited, despite their rapidly growing participation in endurance sport. Epidemiological studies consistently demonstrate a J-shaped association between exercise exposure and AF relative risk in both sexes. Women appear to have a broader protective window, tolerating substantially higher exercise doses (estimated up to ~83 MET-h/week in cohort studies, equivalent to approximately 10-12 h of moderate-to-vigorous endurance training per week) before AF risk begins to rise, whereas men show a risk increase at lower exposure levels. At the extreme end of the spectrum, elite female endurance athletes may also experience elevated AF relative risk, confirming that the upper inflection of the J-curve applies to both sexes. Mechanistic evidence indicate that atrial structural remodelling occurs similarly in men and women, yet sex hormones and autonomic tone appear to modulate arrhythmogenic vulnerability. Overall, current evidence supports sex-aware clinical counselling, promoting the cardiovascular benefits of endurance exercise in women while considering potential risk at very high training loads.","PeriodicalId":12005,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Applied Physiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149007965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants underwent transthoracic echocardiography (longitudinal strain) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (native T1, extracellular volume [ECV], and late gadolinium enhancement [LGE]). Serum biomarkers (galectin-3, soluble ST2, TNF-α, endothelin-1, TGF-β, and cardiac troponin) were measured at rest and, for athletes, immediately post-training. Weightlifters showed higher native T1 values than controls (1003.39 vs. 974.06 ms, p<0.05), but ECV was identical (25%) and LGE prevalence was equal (15.40%), indicating no structural fibrosis. Global strain was slightly lower in athletes but remained within physiological limits. At rest, biomarkers did not differ between groups. Post-exercise, galectin-3 increased significantly (2.04 ± 0.80 to 3.01 ± 0.92 ng/mL, p=0.001), while TGF-β decreased (3.08 ± 0.41 to 2.84 ± 0.37 ng/mL, p=0.046). No significant changes occurred in other biomarkers or troponin. Despite repeated peak pressure loads, elite weightlifters exhibited physiological rather than maladaptive remodeling. The absence of structural fibrosis (normal ECV/LGE) suggests that long-term resistance training remains within an adaptive range.
