Many information is available regarding human adaptations to cold or hypoxia. Adaptations to these environments and physical exercise constitute responses to physiological stress aimed at amplifying the organism's reactions and improving its performance. However, studies conducted so far to understand these adaptations and their underlying mechanisms have been organized in a dissociated manner, with each study focusing on only one of these specific situations (cold, hypoxia, or exercise). Understanding cross-adaptations is crucial, as human beings are often simultaneously exposed to several of these stimuli, and understanding this cross-exposure can be considered a prerequisite for pre-acclimatization strategies to these different environments. Cross-adaptations has been defined as follows: "It simply involves considering that long-term exposure (either continuous or intermittent) to a given unfavorable environment not only increases tolerance to that particular environment but also leads to gains or losses of tolerance to other unfavorable factors that the adapted organism had never encountered before." When specifically examining cross-adaptations to cold and hypoxia, only one study focusing on the human model is available. The lack of perspectives and positions regarding the results calls for further investigations. The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of repeated exposures to cryostimulation on the variation of the respiratory exchange ratio in hypoxia during exercise.
To construct the platform for exercise counseling for pregnant women, and evaluate the effects of that telecare platform integration model for exercise consultation on exercise behaviors and prenatal health outcomes among pregnant women during pregnancy.
The aim of this study is to show how whole body vibration training practiced for 12 weeks affects the levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as C reactive protein (CRP) and, interleukin-6 (IL-6), in Type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) with and without peripheral neuropathy.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of physical therapy and rehabilitation applications on the hip and defined functional parameters in children with developmental hip dysplasia.
The study findings can derive an effective exercise type either web-based or supervise exercise as well as build a series of exercise video that can promote self-exercise at home for health promotion for community residents.
Randomised clinical trial involving 58 independent subjects of both sexes who attended the Geriatric Revitalisation Programme run jointly by the University of Salamanca and the Salamanca City Council. At the beginning and at the end of the programme, data were collected on participants' balance, fall risk and other parameters, using anthropometric tests (weight, % body fat and body mass index (BMI)), and physical performance tests (grip strength, the Short Physical Performance Battery, TUG and the stair step test). Study participants performed three 50-minute sessions per week for a total of 35 weeks. The components of balance, gait, cardiovascular resistance, stability, upper and lower limb strength, flexibility and breathing exercises were worked on. In the OC group, the physiotherapist performed the entire session together with the participants, while in the other group, the physiotherapist simply ordered the exercises.
The management of body mass and energy balance requires a better understanding and mastery of the interactions between our daily activities, such as physical exercise, and the control of our food intake. Over the past 15 years, many studies have focused on the potential effects of physical exercise on this satiety cascade and on subsequent food intake, in many populations. Thus, both in normal-weight subjects and in patients suffering from overweight and obesity, it has been shown that the performance of an acute exercise of moderate intensity promotes a transient anorectic effect, reducing feelings of hunger post -exercise, and can even induce a reduction in subsequent food intake. In healthy young adults, recent results show that high-intensity physical exercise can reduce feelings of hunger and increase the satietogenic effect of a meal compared to a control condition and low-intensity exercise. intensity. Nevertheless, it seems that the food reward (which refers to the notion of food reward) does not respond in the same way, the authors not observing any change in either liking or wanting, regardless of exercise intensity. Importantly, this literature uses ad libitum test meals, wishing to assess both satietogenic, hedonic and purely nutritional responses (assessing the amount of food intake). Nevertheless, these sensory and hedonic responses to food intake have recently been shown to be sensitive to the composition of the meal and its caloric quantity, which could induce a significant bias as to the conclusions on the effects of physical exercise. Indeed, the use of meals ad libitum, by definition, leads to caloric intake and different meal compositions. Thus, it is possible that the results obtained are strongly impacted by the nature of the test meal more than by the exercise itself. It therefore remains uncertain today to conclude as to the effects of physical exercise on the factors of the satietogenic cascade, since beyond physical exercise, the test meals compared are not identical. It therefore seems important today to develop a more coherent and adapted methodology, to better study the food and satietogenic responses to our daily activities. In this context, the present project aims to compare the satietogenic response to a meal following acute exercise according to the nature of this meal (ad libitum versus calibrated) in healthy adults.
Regular exercise participation is known to reduce cardiometabolic disease risk but the impact that exercise training has on adipose tissue (AT) metabolism is poorly understood, particularly in humans. It is well established that exercise training improves whole-body glucose levels and increases insulin sensitivity, and this can occur within one or two weeks. These effects are usually due to adaptations in skeletal muscle, the tissue responsible for the majority of glucose disposal. However, many studies have now determined that exercise training also results in adaptations in AT that improve whole-body metabolic health by improving glucose uptake into the AT. Skeletal muscle is thought to account for approximately 75-85% of glucose uptake , and this process is impaired in .individuals who are insulin-resistant state. It is postulated that the increased level of adiposity that accompanies severe obesity would result in higher dependency on AT for glucose uptake as the AT would be a bigger "sink". Thus the role of AT in inducing whole body insulin resistance is still unclear, particularly in individuals with obesity. This study will examine the changes in AT glucose uptake before and after 4 weeks of exercise training in obese individuals and establish if there are sex differences.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in patients with supratentorial brain tumours. The main questions it aims to answer is: Can short-term preoperative walking exercise protect cognitive function in the short term after craniotomy in patients with supratentorial brain tumor and reduce the incidence of surgery-related complications? Participants will be asked to receive general care and regular walking exercises prior to surgery. Researchers will compare patients who receive only general care before surgery to see if preoperative walking exercise has an effect on postoperative prognosis.
