A community-based intervention increases physical activity and reduces obesity in school-age children in North Carolina.
(Child Obes, 2015-06)BACKGROUND: Community-based interventions are promising approaches to obesity prevention, but few studies have prospectively evaluated them. The aim of this study was to evaluate a natural experiment—a community intervention ... -
Aerobic exercise and neurocognitive performance: a meta-analytic review of randomized controlled trials.
(Psychosom Med, 2010-04)OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of aerobic exercise training on neurocognitive performance. Although the effects of exercise on neurocognition have been the subject of several previous reviews and meta-analyses, they have ... -
Aerobic Training-Induced Host Changes Alter Breast Cancer Cell Phenotypes and Tumor Progression
(2015)A growing number of studies have investigated the role of exercise both during and after a breast cancer diagnosis. Observational data suggests that regular endurance exercise is associated with a 20-50% reduction ... -
An Initial Evaluation of the Impact of Pokémon GO on Physical Activity.
(Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017-05-16)Pokémon GO is a location-based augmented reality game. Using GPS and the camera on a smartphone, the game requires players to travel in real world to capture animated creatures, called Pokémon. We examined the impact of ... -
Associations between physical activity, sedentary behaviour and left ventricular structure and function from the Echocardiographic Study of Latinos (ECHO-SOL).
(Open heart, 2021-07)The cross-sectional association between accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and cardiac structure and function is less well described. This study's primary aim was to compare echocardiographic ... -
Caloric restriction alters the metabolic response to a mixed-meal: results from a randomized, controlled trial.
(PLoS One, 2012)OBJECTIVES: To determine if caloric restriction (CR) would cause changes in plasma metabolic intermediates in response to a mixed meal, suggestive of changes in the capacity to adapt fuel oxidation to fuel availability or ... -
Cardiovascular disease, risk factors, and health behaviors among cancer survivors and spouses: A MEPS Study.
(Cancer medicine, 2020-09)<h4>Purpose</h4>The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalences of CVD, CVD risk factors. and health behaviors among cancer survivor-spouse dyads, assess how these prevalences differ by role (survivor vs spouse) ... -
Carnitine Acetyltransferase and Mitochondrial Acetyl-CoA Buffering in Exercise and Metabolic Disease
(2013)Acetyl-CoA holds a prominent position as the common metabolic intermediate of glucose, amino acid and fatty acid oxidation. Because acetyl-CoA fuels the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the primary source of reducing equivalents ... -
Coagulation Conundrum: an Exercise in Clinical Reasoning.
(Journal of general internal medicine, 2023-02) -
Constraint and trade-offs regulate energy expenditure during childhood.
(Science advances, 2019-12-18)Children's metabolic energy expenditure is central to evolutionary and epidemiological frameworks for understanding variation in human phenotype and health. Nonetheless, the impact of a physically active lifestyle and heavy ... -
Descriptive Epidemiology of Musculoskeletal Injuries in Naval Special Warfare Sea, Air, and Land Operators.
(Mil Med, 2016-01)The purpose of this analysis was to describe medical chart reviewed musculoskeletal injuries among Naval Special Warfare Sea, Air, and Land Operators. 210 Operators volunteered (age: 28.1 ± 6.0 years, height: 1.8 ± 0.1 m, ... -
Development and Preliminary Feasibility of iByte4Health: A Mobile Health (mHealth) Pediatric Obesity Prevention Intervention to Engage Parents with Low-Income of Children 2-9 Years.
(Nutrients, 2021-11-25)This research describes the development and preliminary feasibility of iByte4Health, a mobile health (mHealth) obesity prevention intervention designed for parents with a low-income of children 2-9 years of age. Study 1 ... -
Diet and Exercise Are not Associated with Skeletal Muscle Mass and Sarcopenia in Patients with Bladder Cancer.
(European urology oncology, 2021-04)<h4>Background</h4>There is limited understanding about why sarcopenia is happening in bladder cancer, and which modifiable and nonmodifiable patient-level factors affect its occurrence.<h4>Objective</h4>The objective is ... -
Effects of the dietary approaches to stop hypertension diet, exercise, and caloric restriction on neurocognition in overweight adults with high blood pressure.
(Hypertension, 2010-06)High blood pressure increases the risks of stroke, dementia, and neurocognitive dysfunction. Although aerobic exercise and dietary modifications have been shown to reduce blood pressure, no randomized trials have examined ... -
Exercise-induced changes in metabolic intermediates, hormones, and inflammatory markers associated with improvements in insulin sensitivity.
(Diabetes Care, 2011-01)OBJECTIVE: To understand relationships between exercise training-mediated improvements in insulin sensitivity (S(I)) and changes in circulating concentrations of metabolic intermediates, hormones, and inflammatory mediators. ... -
Exercise-induced pain intensity predicted by pre-exercise fear of pain and pain sensitivity.
(Clin J Pain, 2011-06)OBJECTIVES: Our primary goals were to determine whether preexisting fear of pain and pain sensitivity contributed to post-exercise pain intensity. METHODS: Delayed-onset muscle pain was induced in the trunk extensors of ... -
Feasibility of Cardiac rehabilitation in Patients with Heart Failure at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital
(2018)Background: Cardiovascular diseases form a large part of a growing pandemic of non-communicable diseases afflicting Sub-Saharan Africa(1–3) Heart failure is one of the most debilitating of these diseases. The global 5-year ... -
Hypertension Improvement Project (HIP): study protocol and implementation challenges.
(Trials, 2009-02-26)<h4>Background</h4>Hypertension affects 29% of the adult U.S. population and is a leading cause of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Despite numerous effective treatments, only 53% of people with hypertension are ... -
Initial Experience With Real-Time Continuous Physical Activity Monitoring in Patients Undergoing Spine Surgery.
(Clinical spine surgery, 2017-12)<h4>Study design</h4>Multicenter prospective pilot study.<h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate if continuous physical activity monitoring by a personal electronic 3-dimensional accelerometer device is feasible and can provide objective ... -
Irisin - a myth rather than an exercise-inducible myokine.
(Sci Rep, 2015-03-09)The myokine irisin is supposed to be cleaved from a transmembrane precursor, FNDC5 (fibronectin type III domain containing 5), and to mediate beneficial effects of exercise on human metabolism. However, evidence for irisin ...
