There is mounting evidence that aerobic exercise has a positive effect on cognitive functions in older adults. To date, little known about the neurometabolic and molecular mechanisms underlying this effect. The present study used magnetic resonance spectroscopy quantitative MRI to systematically explore effects of physical activity human brain metabolism grey matter (GM) volume healthy aging. This randomised controlled assessor-blinded two-armed trial (n=53) exercise-induced neuroprotective...
Participating in physical activity and maintaining performance as well reducing sedentary behavior are discussed to be beneficially associated with cognitive function older adults. The purpose of this cross-sectional analysis was differentiate the relevance objectively measured activity, performance, on healthy adults (
Objectives: Despite the evidence suggesting physical activity (PA) as a major factor for prevention of age-related cognitive decline, only few studies have systematically investigated impact leisure PA during lifespan (LLPA). This study investigates effects LLPA on function (CF) and brain plasticity (BP) in old age.Method: Participants' (n = 50, 72 ± 5 yrs, 27 females) energy expenditure volume was assessed via validated questionnaire investigating five epochs (14–80 yrs). Using current WHO...
The spread of the COVID-19 virus was met by a strict lockdown in many countries around world, with closure all physical activity (PA) facilities and limitations on moving freely. aim present online survey to assess effect Italy. Physical assessed using European Health Interview Survey questionnaire. A total 1500 datasets were analyzed. Differences between conditions tested chi2-based (χ2) test for categorical variables, Student’s t-test paired data. fixed effects binary logistic regression...
Lockdown measures including the closure of physical activity facilities were installed against spread novel coronavirus in March 2020. The aim current online survey was to assess lockdown effects on German adults. We assessed using European Health Interview Survey (EHIS) questionnaire. Pre-lockdown vs. differences tested with Χ2 test and Student’s t-test for paired data. Predictor variables explain compliance recommendations identified a fixed binary logistic regression analysis. Data 979...
Germany experienced a 6-month second lockdown (November 2020-April 2021) during the COVID-19 pandemic, which included closure of all physical activity (PA) facilities. The use online exercise classes (OECs) was promoted by public health and organizations. Using present cross-sectional survey, we assess opinion towards OECs in lockdown. We used contingency tables Chi2 test to calculate frequency awareness according PA status, well-being demographic data, conducted binary logistic regression...
Physical activity exerts a variety of long-term health benefits in older adults. In particular, it is assumed to be protective factor against cognitive decline and dementia. Randomised controlled assessor blinded 2-armed trial (n = 60) explore the exercise- induced neuroprotective metabolic effects on brain cognitively healthy Participants (age ≥ 65), recruited within setting assisted living facilities newspaper advertisements are allocated 12-week individualised aerobic exercise programme...
Exercise has been shown to counteract age-related volume decreases in the human brain, and this imaging study, we ask whether same holds true for microstructure of cortex. Healthy older adults (n = 47, 65-90 years old) either exercised three times a week on stationary bike or maintained their usual physical routine over 12-week period. Quantitative longitudinal relaxation rate (R1 ) magnetic resonance (MRI) maps were made at baseline after intervention. R1 is commonly taken reflect cortical...
Lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to reductions in physical activity (PA) worldwide. Leading public health organizations recommended use of online exercise classes (OEC) compensate loss regular classes. As now, no data are available on uptake OEC and users’ attitudes. The aim current survey was assess attitudes towards Germany. Respondents indicated awareness OEC, levels agreement with statements OEC. Frequency according PA status were calculated contingency tables Χ2...
Summary Activities of daily living, such as household, gardening, stair climbing, walking and cycling are now acknowledged a major health resource, explicitly advocated by many authorities. Of activities has received far the most scientific interest both in prevention therapy chronic diseases. A considerable body evidence suggests that living yield benefits meaningful at public level. Promotion these might be promising way to improve unfit elderly population disinclined exercise.
Fitness and exercise may counteract the detrimental metabolic mood adaptations during prolonged sitting. This study distinguishes immediate effects of a single bout vs. work-load intensity-matched repeated breaks on subjective well-being, blood glucose, insulin response (analyzed as area under curve) sedentary time; assesses influence fitness caloric intake alterations sedentariness. Eighteen women underwent cardiopulmonary testing three 4 h sitting interventions: two interventions (70%...
Zusammenfassung Einleitung Präventive Bewegungsberatungen durch niedergelassene Ärzte sind aktuell in Deutschland nicht großflächig implementiert. Das „Rezept für Bewegung“ will das ärztliche Bewegungsberatungsgespräch inaktive Patienten verbindlicher gestalten. Ziel der Studie war es, die Wahrnehmung Beratungsqualität aus Patientensicht und daraus resultierenden Handlungsabsichten -konsequenzen systematisch zu erfassen. Methode Unter Verwendung eines standardisierten 17-Item-Instruments...
In the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, lockdown measures were reinstalled and place between November 2020 April 2021, including closure physical activity facilities. The aim current online survey was to assess effects on well-being general population. Pre-lockdown vs. differences tested with Χ2 test Student’s t-test for paired data. Predictor variables explain compliance recommendations identified using a fixed-effects binary logistic regression analysis. Data 993 respondents...
Gegenwärtig kursieren zahlreiche Vorschläge zur potenziellen Wirksamkeit von Traditioneller Chinesischer Medizin (TCM)/Akupunktur in der Therapie SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen und assoziierten Symptomen. Stand dieser Überlegungen sind insbesondere molekularvirologische, aber auch klinische Untersuchungen aus SARS-Epidemie 2002/2003. Ein Wirksamkeitsnachweis chinesischen Arzneimitteln mit antiviralem Potenzial Bezug auf SARS-CoV‑2 steht größtenteils aus. Klinische Daten stützen sich nahezu...
