This one found that an acute resistance exercise bout can attenuate postprandial lipemia and markers of postprandial oxidative stress.
- - Both a moderate-intensity and a high-intensity resistance exercise bout caused an increase in total nitrite/nitrate concentrations concentrations and also prevented a decrease in GSH that was noted in the resting condition.
- Moderate-intensity resistance exercise was more effective at reducing advanced oxidation protein products compared with resting conditions, as well as lowering postprandial triglycerides and cholesterol concentrations.
"In terms of the OS measurements, the primary findings suggest resistance exercise can attenuate postprandial OS by preventing a significant decline in GSH...
"...Glutathione is a protective endogenous antioxidant that is responsible for resisting OS and is directly involved in the removal of reactive species/RONS...
"...Based on our findings, when resistance exercise is performed 12 hours before a HFM ingestion, GSH concentrations do not significantly decrease, which is what occurs when no exercise is performed 12 hours before ingestion...
"...These findings are important because GSH is needed to protect against OS and reduce the formation of OS markers, such as AOPP (advanced oxidation protein products)...
"...Therefore, the finding of reduced AOPP is perhaps attributed to the favorable impact of acute resistance exercise on GSH concentrations when exposed to a HFM (High-Fat Meal, in this case high-fat milkshake)."
Acute Resistance Exercise Reduces Postprandial Lipemia and Oxidative Stress in Resistance-Trained Men
This systematic review and meta-analysis finds that both unilateral and bilateral resistance training may improve athletic performance, but the former may be superior on improving unilateral jumping performance and the latter bilateral strength performance.
- Both unilateral and bilateral resistance training were found to improve athletic performance, with no differences in performance measures.
- Subgroup analysis showed that unilateral resistance training can improve unilateral jumping performance with a large effect, but probably provides no benefit on improving unilateral strength performance in comparison to bilateral exercises.
This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that high HbA1c variability in individuals with type 2 diabetes may lead to micro- and macro-vascular complications and related death.
- Individuals with type 2 diabetes among the highest quantile HbA1c of all 3 variability metrics had increased risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, progression to CKD, amputation, and peripheral neuropathy.
- Those among the highest quantile of at least one HbA1c variability metric hadh increased risks of kidney failure, progression to albuminuria, diabetic foot ulcer, and retinopathy.
In this one, even though 6 months CrossFit training (2×60 min/week) did not improve measures of well-being in inactive adults with predominantly sitting or standing occupations, it resulted in improved mobility and strength.
- The study recruited individuals with a predominantly standing or sitting occupation that did less than two muscle and/or mobility enhancing training sessions per week prior study participation.
- After 6 months significant effects were found for mobility and strength, but not for measures of well-being.
This study tried to investigate how self-identified dietary lapses, which are defined broadly as eating that is inconsistent with one or more dietary goals, affect reported dietary intake among individuals undergoing a lifestyle modification intervention.
- When controlling for their usual intake, participants consumed more calories and added sugar on days on which they reported dietary lapses.
In comparison to prescribed calorie goals (1200–1800 kcals/day based on starting weight), participants consumed an unadjusted average of 253.85 calories above their prescribed goal on lapse days...
This one found a high adipose tissue insulin resistance in normotensive individuals at baseline, as assessed by adipo-IR, to be associated (although weakly) with new-onset hypertension.
- In this study, the authors investigated the association between three insulin resistance indices (adipo-IR, HOMA-IR, and the Matsuda index) and hypertension in older Japanese individuals.
- In the cross-sectional analysis, all of these insulin resistance indices were statistically significantly associated with blood pressure levels.
This one suggests that aerobic physical activity durations of 3 hours/week and resistance training exercise ~1–2 times/week may substantively reduce the risk of all-cause mortality, with their combination confering additional mortality risk reduction beyond cardio alone.
- Higher aerobic PA duration was found to be robustly associated with lower mortality risk and was optimised at ~3 hours/week, largely independent of age and sex.
Across all models, an inverse association of aerobic PA with mortality risk with doses as short as ~1 hour/week were found, with results suggesting little additional mortality risk reduction beyond 3 hours/week.
