Physical and cognitive exercise may prevent or delay dementia in later life but the neural mechanisms underlying these therapeutic benefits are largely unknown. We examined structural functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain changes after 6 months of progressive resistance training (PRT), computerized (CCT) combined intervention. A total 100 older individuals (68 females, average age=70.1, s.d.±6.7, 55–87 years) with prodrome mild impairment were recruited SMART (Study Mental...
The presence of bone metastases has excluded participation cancer patients in exercise interventions and is a relative contraindication to supervised the community setting because concerns fragility fracture. We examined efficacy safety modular multimodal program prostate with metastases.Between 2012 2015, 57 (70.0 ± 8.4 yr; body mass index, 28.7 4.0 kg·m) (pelvis, 75.4%; femur, 40.4%; rib/thoracic spine, 66.7%; lumbar 43.9%; humerus, 24.6%; other sites, 70.2%) were randomized aerobic,...
Article abstract-Nerve growth factor (NGF) plays a biologic role in the development and maintenance of sympathetic small sensory neurons. Because it facilitates nerve fiber regeneration, lowers heat-pain threshold (hyperalgesia), prevents or improves dysfunction experimental neuropathy, is being considered as putative treatment for certain human polyneuropathies. In 16 healthy subjects, we tested whether intradermal injection minute doses recombinant NGF (1 3 micro g) compared with saline...
To determine whether improvements in aerobic capacity (VO2peak ) and strength after progressive resistance training (PRT) mediate cognitive function.Randomized, double-blind, double-sham, controlled trial.University research facility.Community-dwelling older adults (aged ≥55) with mild impairment (MCI) (N = 100).PRT (CT), 2 to 3 days per week for 6 months.Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog); global, executive, memory domains; peak (1 repetition maximum);...
Dementia affects 47 million individuals worldwide, and assuming the status quo is projected to rise 150 by 2050. Prevention of age-related cognitive impairment in older persons with lifestyle interventions continues garner evidence but whether this can combat underlying neurodegeneration unknown. The Study Mental Activity Resistance Training (SMART) trial has previously reported within-training findings; aim study was investigate long-term neurostructural impact resistance exercise Mild...
To investigate changes in body composition after 12 months of high-intensity progressive resistance training (PRT) relation to insulin (IR) or glucose homeostasis older adults with type 2 diabetes.One-hundred three participants were randomized receive either PRT sham exercise 3 days per week for months. Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA2-IR) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) used as indices IR homeostasis. Skeletal muscle mass (SkMM) total fat assessed using bioelectrical impedance....
Neuropathic pain is often difficult to treat as it resistant many medications and effective have adverse effects. Its estimated prevalence between 1% 2% in the United Kingdom.1 Treatment practice thought vary considerably throughout UK terms of starting treatment, achievement therapeutic doses, correct sequencing classes, thus probably leading some cases inadequate control, with considerable morbidity. This article summarises most recent recommendations from National Institute for Health...
Reductions in skeletal muscle mass and increased adiposity are key elements the aging process pathophysiology of several chronic diseases. Systemic low grade inflammation associated with obesity has been shown to accelerate age-related decline muscle. The aim this investigation was determine effects 12 months progressive resistance training (PRT) on systemic inflammation, whether reductions were changes body composition. We hypothesized that following PRT older adults type 2 diabetes would...
Purpose . To examine the effects of two doses low-frequency (12 Hz), low-magnitude (0.3 g), whole body vibration on markers bone formation and resorption in postmenopausal women. Methods Women were recruited randomized into a sham control group, one time per week group (1×/week), or three times (3×/week). Vibration exposure consisted 20 minutes intermittent for 1×/week 3×/week groups, (<0.1 g) eight weeks. Double-blinded primary outcome measures urine resorption: N-telopeptide X...
