The Olympics, with high-level performances across events with differing metabolic demands, provide unique data for analysis of optimal performance age given the type of performance required. The aim of this study was to classify Olympic events from 1988-2024 into aerobic, anaerobic, mixed, or skill, and compare male and female athlete ages in each classification. Events of maximal effort under 2-minutes duration were classified as anaerobic. Events longer than 5 minutes were classified as aerobic with those 2-5 minutes duration classified as mixed. Other events that are unlikely to stress aerobic or anaerobic metabolic systems were classified as skill. Athlete age was 24.1 ± 4.6 years for anaerobic, 26.8 ± 4.7 years for aerobic, 24.8 ± 4.6 years for mixed, and 27.8 ± 6.9 years for skill. When separated by sex, female athletes were younger in each classification. Male anaerobic athletes (24.7 ± 4.2) were younger than aerobic (26.9 ± 4.6) and skill (28.9 ± 6.9), but similar in age to mixed athletes (25.0 ± 4.4). Female anaerobic athletes (23.2 ± 5.0) were younger than aerobic (26.7 ± 4.8), skill (26.4 ± 6.5), and mixed (24.4 ± 4.8). Male Olympic athletes in skill-based events that do not stress energy systems compete at older ages than those in events that tax physiologic systems. Female Olympic aerobic and skill athletes, compete at older ages than those in events requiring a significant anaerobic contribution. This analysis provides evidence that event demands likely differ by classification and sex and therefore influence performance age.</p>","PeriodicalId":14171,"journal":{"name":"International journal of exercise science","volume":"18 3","pages":"404-414"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12143275/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144247799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The global prevalence is estimated between 0.2% and 0.4%, affecting over 17 million individuals worldwide, with an estimated burden exceeding 40,000 cases in Spain. Despite the exploration of exercise-based rehabilitation as a therapeutic strategy, its clinical efficacy remains a subject of ongoing debate. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise-based rehabilitation relative to conventional treatments in improving functional capacity and alleviating fatigue among adults with CFS A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guidelines and registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42024573955). Searches were systematically performed across MEDLINE, PEDro, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Scopus, and SportDiscus, covering studies published between January 2010 and January 2024. Methodological quality and risk of bias, assessed using the validated PEDro Scale and Cochrane tool, ranged from moderate to good, with bias levels varying from low to high. Inclusion criteria targeted studies investigating structured therapeutic exercise interventions, including aerobic training, resistance exercises, and mind-body therapies. A total of 11 studies were included in the qualitative review, and with 7 randomized controlled trials (n = 2,276 participants) were finally incorporated in the meta-analysis. Exercise-based interventions, including aerobic training, resistance exercises, graded exercise therapy (GET), mind-body therapies and multimodal programs, showed significantly significant reductions in fatigue in both the short term (n = 720) SMD = -0.50; 95% CI: [-0.75, -0.24]; Z = 3.81; p < 0.001) and medium term (n = 501; SMD = -0.53; 95% CI: [-0.95, -0.12]; Z = 2.52; p = 0.01). Medium-term improvements in functionality were also significant (n = 685; SMD = 0.31; 95% CI: [0.11, 0.52]; Z = 2.96; p = 0.003), whereas short-term functionality outcomes were lesser compared to controls (n = 366; SMD = 0.10; 95% CI: [-0.05, 0.25]; Z = 1.29; p = 0.20). Notably, the meta-analytic findings indicated that medium-term functional outcomes slightly favored control groups over exercise interventions, and no significant long-term benefits were observed in either fatigue reduction or functional capacity enhancement. These findings underscore the selective efficacy of exercise-based rehabilitation for CFS, particularly in mitigating fatigue over the short to medium term. However, the transient nature of functional improvements highlights the need for further research to optimize exercise protocols, determine the most effective modalities, and develop strategies to sustain long-term therapeutic outcomes.

Thirty young adults were recruited to participate in a within-participant design, with one limb randomly allocated to perform biceps curls and triceps pushdowns using strict form (STRICT) and the other using external momentum (CHEAT).

This systematic review aims to evaluate effective treatment approaches, focusing on the comparative effects of exercise and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in T2D rat models. Current pharmacological therapies primarily target glycemic control and insulin sensitivity. However, there is a growing concern in non-traditional approaches that involve exercise and GLP-1 RAs for managing T2D.
