This study was designed to clarify the effects of active rest, with a focus on practice short-time group exercise by workplace units, personal relationships, mental health, physical activity, and work ability among workers.Fifty-nine white-collar workers (40 males 19 females) performed our rest (short-time exercise) program, which consists warm-up, cognitive functional training, aerobic exercise, resistance training cool-down for 10 minutes per day, 3 times week during their lunch breaks...

Objective: The present study was designed to examine the effects of active rest by workplace units on not only workers' individual vigor but also and presenteeism. Methods: A total 130 workers performed our (short-time exercise) program for 10 minutes per day during their lunch breaks, three four times week 8 weeks. Subjects from a unit were randomly allocated intervention (n = 66) or control 64) groups. participants' work engagement Work Functioning Impairment Scale (WFun) examined at...

Abstract High‐intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) has become attractive for presenting a variety of conditions. However, the effects HIIE on renal function and hemodynamics remain unclear. This study aimed to compare moderate‐intensity continuous (MICE) hemodynamics, function, kidney injury biomarkers. Ten adult males participated in this study. We allowed participants perform or MICE consider impact under both Renal hemodynamic assessment blood sampling were conducted before (pre)...

This cross-sectional study evaluated the association between unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in middle-aged older men.The subjects included 445 men without a history cardiovascular disease, stroke, or dialysis treatment, who were not taking medications. Unhealthy using standardized self-administered questionnaire defined as follows: 1) lack habitual moderate exercise, 2) daily physical activity, 3) slow walking speed, 4) fast eating 5) late-night...

We investigated the association between angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism and endurance running performance in Japanese elite runners, including several Olympic athletes. The frequency of I/I genotype was not significantly higher D/D lower runners compared with non-athletes. However, I/D tended to be than best for those genotype, average speed combined + genotypes genotype. There were no among five fastest marathon runners. These results...

Methods A total 30 healthy female participated in this and they were randomly assigned one following 2 groups: The group (SG; participants exercised under supervision a physical therapist (PT)) voluntary (VG; without supervision). asked twice/week 12 weeks 24 sessions. primary outcome was aerobic fitness, secondary outcomes muscle strength,...

This study was retrospectively designed to evaluate the influence of healthy lifestyle behaviors on incidence chronic kidney disease (CKD) during a 5-year follow-up period in middle-aged and older males. The subjects included 252 males without history cardiovascular disease, stroke, renal dysfunction and/or dialysis treatment who were not taking any medications. Their evaluated using standardized self-administered questionnaire defined as follows: (1) habitual moderate exercise, (2) daily...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be an etiologic cause of aging, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), and metabolic syndrome. However, the influence these cardiovascular risk factors their combination on development CKD remains controversial. This retrospective study evaluated incidence during a 6-year follow-up period in middle-aged older males.The subjects were 303 males without history disease, stroke, renal dysfunction, or dialysis treatment. A biochemical analysis, blood pressure (BP)...

This retrospective study evaluated the influence of joint impact habitual exercise and glycemic control on incidence chronic kidney disease (CKD) during a 6-year follow-up period in middle-aged older males. The population included 303 males without history cardiovascular disease, stroke, renal dysfunction, or dialysis treatment. Their lifestyle behaviors regarding physical activity were using standardized self-administered questionnaire. participants divided into four categories according to...

Exercise is restricted for individuals with reduced renal function because exercising reduces blood flow to the kidneys. Safe and effective exercise programs have not yet been developed. We previously examined relationship between intensity (RBF), revealing that moderate-intensity did reduce RBF. Determining effects of duration on RBF may valuable clinical applications. The current study a single bout continuous at lactate threshold (LT) hemodynamics. Eight adult males participated in this...

Aim Increased physical activity can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality rate. In contrast, a prolonged heart rate corrected‐ QT ( QTc ) interval is associated with an increased risk arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death coronary artery disease. The present cross‐sectional study was designed to clarify association between level in older adults. Methods participants included 586 adults (267 men 319 women, age 71.2 ± 4.7 years) without history disease, who were taking...

Electrical properties estimated from the electrical resistance of human body can serve as indicators muscle tissue status and risk developing sarcopenia; however, to date, at least best our knowledge, no studies have performed such an assessment in older individuals with advanced dementia. The present study examined associations between grip strength, composition using bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) women aged 77-97 years residing dementia group homes. A total 33 participants were enrolled...

This study was designed to examine the effects of a lifestyle modification on improvement in an exaggerated systolic blood pressure (SBP) response exercise normotensive females.The subjects were 78 females with (n = 25) and without 53) SBP who not taking any medications. An defined according criteria Framingham Study (peak SBP: ≥190 mm Hg). A program consisting aerobic diet counseling conducted for 12 weeks. The brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), plasma nitrate/nitrite (NOx),...

Liver fibrosis might be linked to the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there is little information about association between liver and decreased function in middle-aged older subjects. We aimed evaluate influence on incidence or CKD stage 3–5 a retrospective cross-sectional study (Study 1, n = 806) 6-year longitudinal 2, 380) evaluated using Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) all All subjects were divided into four groups basis their...

It is well known that imbalances in the dietary electrolytes are associated with a significantly higher incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). On other hand, prolonged heart rate corrected-QT (QTc) interval an increased risk cardiac autonomic nervous system dysfunction, CVD and sudden death. This study was designed to clarify association between nutritional status QTc elderly subjects. The subjects included 119 (46 males 73 females, age; 72.9±4.8 y) without history CVD, who were taking...

A low-frequency to a high-frequency component ratio (LF/HF) in heart rate variability (HRV) may not accurately reflect sympathetic nervous activity during exercise. Thus, valid HRV-based index of is needed. Therefore, the LF (Heart rate/LF) was evaluated as which reflected by catecholamine levels incremental In this study, 15 healthy adults performed an exercise test using cycle ergometer. HRV derived from electrocardiography and components related autonomic system were obtained frequency...
