Physical Activity and Hypertension
Hypertension and physical inactivity are leading causes of premature mortality. While both are modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, their prevalence remains high. As populations grow older, they are more likely to develop hypertension and to become less physically active.

Physics of active emulsions [PDF]
Phase separating systems that are maintained away from thermodynamic equilibrium via molecular processes represent a class of active systems, which we call active emulsions. These systems are driven by external energy input for example provided by an external fuel reservoir.

Physical activity plays a substantial role in maintaining people’s good health and mental wellbeing, but that is not all: not only it positively affects the individuals’ mental and physical health, but a lack of physical exercise exerts a negative impact also on the overall economy of a nation.

Aging is a multifactorial irreversible process associated with significant decline in muscle mass and neuromuscular functions. One of the most efficient methods to counteract age-related changes in muscle mass and function is physical exercise. An alternative effective intervention to improve muscle structure and performance is electrical stimulation ...

Obesity and physical activity [PDF]
Three aspects of obesity and physical activity are reviewed: whether the obese are inactive; how the activity level can be increased; and which are the effects of an increase in physical activity in combination with a reduction of energy intake.The focus is on an objective approach that is, activity associated energy expenditure as measured with doubly
