Effect of repeated hot water immersion on muscle strength, power, function and physical activity in healthy older adults: A randomised crossover trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing leads to an increased prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty, characterised by progressive declines in muscle strength, power and function and reduced physical activity. Hot water immersion (HWI) could potentially improve muscle function, but this is yet to be explored in older adults.

Phosphate and acidosis cause fibre‐typespecific changes to cellular and molecular contractile mechanics at 37°C in skeletal muscle from older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intracellular accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) has temperature‐dependent effects on single‐fibre contractile function between 10°C and 30°C. In vivo, human skeletal muscle temperatures range between 35‐39°C, and although contractile function is highly dependent on temperature, the effects of fatigue‐inducing [H+]

Long‐term association of physical activity with survival by primary cancer treatment in endometrial cancer: The Alberta Endometrial Cancer Cohort Study

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 2, Page 345-358, 15 July 2026.
What's new? Accumulating evidence suggests a beneficial role of physical activity in cancer. However, it is unclear whether associations between physical activity and cancer outcomes vary by cancer treatment. Based on more than 16 years of follow‐up data from a cohort of endometrial cancer survivors, this study reveals that associations between ...

Physical Fitness and Device‐Based Moderate‐to‐Vigorous Physical Activity and Risk of Long‐Term Sickness Absence—A Prospective Cohort Study With 8‐Year Follow‐Up

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We examined the association of physical fitness (PF) and accelerometer‐based moderate‐to‐vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) with long‐term sickness absence (LTSA) incidence over an 8‐year of follow‐up in Finnish working‐age population.

Impact of Different Types of Sedentary Behaviour on Cognitive Function in Older Adults: A Systematic Review

Health Promotion Journal of Australia, Volume 37, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Issue Addressed Sedentary behaviour (SB) is a relevant determinant of health in ageing, yet its effects on cognitive function remain inconclusive. The literature often treats SB as a homogeneous exposure, without considering that different sedentary activities may differentially affect cognitive domains.

An investigation into human movement with the use of accelerometry

, 2010
The amount of daily physical activity over the lifetime of a person, has a positive impact on his/her overall health and may reduce his/her overall risks of developing diseases. Walking is one of the most common daily physical activities. The assessment of walking patterns plays a key role in energy expenditure estimation and in understanding the ...

Predictors of upper‐extremity motor outcomes after constraint‐induced therapy or bimanual training in children with cerebral palsy: A systematic review

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 885-895, July 2026.
Abstract Aim To systematically review the factors that predict changes in upper‐extremity motor function in response to constraint‐induced movement therapy (CIMT) or bimanual training in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Method The PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, and PEDro databases were searched. Studies were included if predictor variables

Childhood Physical Activity and Developmental Niche in Contemporary Pastoralist Maasai Community in Southern Kenya

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Although increasing attention has been directed toward childhood physical activity (PA) in small‐scale societies of the Global South, evidence across the full developmental span remains limited and is often interpreted without sufficient attention to local parental environments, norms, or children's social roles. This study examines

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1491-1510, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned
