Sleep quality was evaluated via electroencephalography. Heart rate (HR), HR variability (HRV), and skin temperature were measured during sleep.Results: MST significantly reduced time of rapid eye movement (REM) compared to CON (P < 0.05). However, relative time of REM sleep for entire sleep, total sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, and absolute and relative time of non-REM sleep did not differ significantly among conditions. Proximal skin temperature during sleep first 90 min was significantly higher in both MST and HYP than in CON (P < 0.05), with no significant differences between MST and HYP. However, the gradient between distal and proximal temperature, HR, and HRV during sleep did not differ among conditions.Conclusion: These findings imply that sleep architecture is not markedly altered following a single session of resistance exercise, regardless of regimen type.","PeriodicalId":74444,"journal":{"name":"Physical activity and nutrition","volume":"30 2","pages":"136-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13358588/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148431650","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}

Although barriers to exercise in later life have been identified, differences across age groups within older populations remain understudied. This study examined barriers to exercise participation across age categories among adults aged 65 years or older.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 312 adults aged ≥ 65 years in South Korea (mean age, 80.47 ± 6.80 years). Participants were categorized into four age groups (65-75, 76-80, 81-85, and ≥ 86 years). Barriers to exercise participation were assessed across five domains: economic constraints, psychological or emotional constraints, information seeking skills, environmental or physical constraints, and program-related aspects or personal concerns. Chi-square tests and post-hoc analysis were used to identify differences in reported barriers across age groups.Results: Significant age-group differences were observed in psychological or emotional constraints, information seeking skills, and program-related aspects or personal concerns. These barriers did not significantly differ between the 65-75 and 76-80 years age groups; however, they were reported more frequently among participants aged ≥ 81 years, with the highest reporting observed among those aged ≥ 85 years.Conclusions: Barriers to exercise participation vary qualitatively across age strata and become particularly pronounced after age 81. These findings underscore the limitations of considering older adults as a homogeneous group and highlight the need for age-sensitive, integrated intervention strategies to promote exercise participation among the oldest-old.","PeriodicalId":74444,"journal":{"name":"Physical activity and nutrition","volume":"30 2","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13358592/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148431693","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}

Although moderate-intensity aerobic exercise may mitigate doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, the effects of high-intensity aerobic exercise during doxorubicin treatment on cardiac homeostasis remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of high-intensity aerobic exercise (EXE) during doxorubicin (DOX) chemotherapy on cardiac autophagy, protein catabolism, and lipolysis.Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were randomized into sedentary-saline, exercise-saline, sedentary-doxorubicin, and exercise-doxorubicin groups. Doxorubicin was administered intraperitoneally (5 mg/kg, 5 times at 2-week intervals, totaling 25 mg/kg). The exercise groups performed high-intensity treadmill running (12-15 m/min, 60 min/day, for 7 weeks) during doxorubicin treatment. Body and heart weights were measured, and cardiac tissues were analyzed via Western blotting.Results: Doxorubicin reduced the body and heart weights, and the combination of exercise and doxorubicin further exacerbated these effects. While exercise administered during doxorubicin treatment improved autophagic flux and enhanced lipolysis, it significantly exacerbated cardiac protein catabolism, as evidenced by decreased structural proteins (β-actin, Talin), upregulated ubiquitin-proteasome system components, and increased proteolytic cleavage in the exercise-doxorubicin group compared to the sedentary-doxorubicin group. These findings demonstrate a complex interaction between exercise during doxorubicin treatment, while simultaneously promoting the clearance of damaged components through enhanced lipid utilization and amplifying the degradation of essential cardiac structural proteins.Conclusion: These results suggest that concurrent high-intensity aerobic exercise during cardiotoxic chemotherapy regimens may compromise myocardial integrity.","PeriodicalId":74444,"journal":{"name":"Physical activity and nutrition","volume":"30 2","pages":"99-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13358595/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148431616","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}

However, ecological evidence regarding the differential effects of exercise intensity remains limited. In this study, we examined the associations between three types of exercise (high-intensity, moderate-intensity, and strength training) and five MetS components at the population level and developed a decision tree-based model to identify high-risk groups.Methods: Age group-level aggregate data (N = 150) from the National Health Screening Statistical Yearbook (2014-2023) were analyzed. Pearson's and age-adjusted partial correlations were used to assess associations between exercise frequency and the prevalence of metabolic conditions. A CART-based decision tree model was developed and evaluated using five-fold stratified cross-validation.Results: In simple correlation analyses, high-intensity exercise was negatively correlated with hypertension and hyperglycemia. After adjusting for age, moderate-intensity exercise was positively correlated with abdominal obesity, hypertension, and hyperglycemia, whereas strength training was positively correlated with hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL cholesterol (all p < 0.001). The decision tree model achieved an accuracy of 78.7% using high- and moderate-intensity exercise variables, which improved to 82.2% when all three exercise types were included. Under the MetS criterion (≥ 3 risk factors), accuracy reached 85.6% with a precision of 0.94.Conclusion: Partial correlations differed in direction from findings at the individual level, indicating a potential ecological fallacy. Nevertheless, the decision tree model demonstrated acceptable predictive performance, suggesting that exercise frequency may be a useful population-level screening indicator.","PeriodicalId":74444,"journal":{"name":"Physical activity and nutrition","volume":"30 2","pages":"23-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13358610/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148431732","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}

Energy expenditure was calculated using metabolic equivalent and physical activity level based on practice questionnaires. Energy balance was calculated by subtracting the energy expenditure from the energy intake.Results: The median values (25th-75th percentile) for energy balance on training day were negative: soccer, -767 (-1,079-98) kcal/day; long-distance running, -367 (-907-169); and road cycling, -948 (-2,577-329).

The outcomes included delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)/perceived recovery, neuromuscular recovery (strength/power), and biochemical indices of muscle damage and inflammation. The interpretation considered training status, exercise model (eccentric, endurance, intermittent), supplement form, timing architecture, and assessment windows.Results: The proposed anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms did not consistently translate into functional benefits in different contexts. Favorable signals are more frequent for soreness and perceptual outcomes, whereas strength/power findings are mixed and condition-dependent, and biochemical responses are heterogeneous and difficult to interpret in isolation. Several controlled trials have reported null effects, indicating potential limitations to efficacy related to population characteristics, protocol design, dosing/composition, and outcome timing.Conclusion: Tart cherry juice is best interpreted as a context-dependent adjunct during high recovery-pressure periods (e.g., congested fixtures, short turnarounds, travel) rather than as a universal daily intervention. Given the theoretical concerns regarding adaptation blunting with chronic antioxidant exposure and limited long-term data, a periodized approach is warranted. Further, potential sponsorship/publication bias should be considered when translating the evidence into practice.","PeriodicalId":74444,"journal":{"name":"Physical activity and nutrition","volume":"30 1","pages":"63-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13065380/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147647716","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}

Electronic searches of PubMed and Web of Science identified studies published between January 1, 2014, and September 30, 2025. Eligibility criteria emphasized feasibility, safety, and neurofunctional outcomes (six-min walk distance, gait speed, peak aerobic capacity, activities/participation, and cognition). Quantitative pooling was not performed, and the findings were qualitatively synthesized. To explain biological plausibility, mechanistic and translational sources were reviewed irrespective of the year and summarized separately.Results: HIIT was feasible under guideline-concordant screening and monitoring, with no serious adverse events. Consistent gains were observed in aerobic capacity, walking endurance, and usual gait speed, whereas activity/participation effects were mixed. Cognitive benefits were domain-specific and the clearest for executive functions. Mechanistic signals (e.g., brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), frontal oxygenation, and endothelial function) support biological plausibility.Conclusion: Supervised HIIT appears safe and clinically useful for augmenting locomotor and aerobic outcomes after stroke and may preferentially enhance executive cognition. Implementation should complement task-specific therapy and follow standard screening and monitoring procedures.
