Geographic disparities in physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep time, and gross motor skills in Nigerian preschoolers

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundAdherence to physical activity guidelines is crucial for children’s physical, social, and cognitive well-being. While previous research shows that about 77% of preschoolers meet the World Health Organization (WHO) physical activity guidelines ...

Impact of obesity and an obesogenic environment on cardiotoxin‐induced damage and recovery of human myotubes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) reduces skeletal muscle quality and impairs the myogenic response to muscle damage. The present study investigated if differences exist in myotubes from individuals with (OB) or without (LN) obesity incubated in control (bovine serum albumin [BSA]) or obesogenic (Ob) medium, at baseline or in response to cardiotoxin ...

Once and thrice weekly interval training in adults with central obesity: a randomized controlled trial

Nature Communications
Obesity is a global public health crisis that is aggravated and mirrored by the high prevalence of physical inactivity. This single-center, assessor-blinded, three-group, randomized controlled trial in Hong Kong examined the therapeutic value of high ...

Cerebrovascular pulsatility following long duration spaceflight is associated with changes in pulse pressure and carotid artery stiffness

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central artery stiffening increases the haemodynamic pulsations transmitted downstream towards target organs, including the brain. While recent evidence suggests that long duration spaceflight is associated with reduced common carotid artery (CCA) distensibility, cerebrovascular pulsatility has not been extensively characterized in astronauts.

Turning over new ideas in human skeletal muscle proteostasis: What do we know and where to from here?

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the turnover of proteins in tissues gives information as to how external stimuli result in phenotypic change. Nowhere is such phenotypic change more conspicuous than skeletal muscle, which can be effectively remodelled by increased loading, ageing and unloading (disuse), all of which are subject to modification by nutrition and ...

Trimethylamine N‐oxide is elevated in postmenopausal women relative to age‐matched men and premenopausal women among individuals with obesity

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Trimethylamine N‐oxide (TMAO) is linked to arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk increases following menopause in women. Whether menopause influences plasma TMAO metabolism to mediate CVD risk is unknown.

Individuals with persisting post‐concussion symptoms with physiological subtype demonstrate altered cardiovascular and autonomic responses to face cooling

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Individuals with persisting post‐concussion symptoms with physiological subtype (PPCS‐P) demonstrate exercise intolerance due to exacerbation of concussion‐like symptoms during incremental exercise. We tested the hypothesis that individuals with PPCS‐P (n = 12) would have a blunted cardiac autonomic response to face cooling compared to healthy

Impaired Windkessel function and proximal aortic stiffness: Linking vascular ageing to cognitive decline

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

Intermittent hand and forearm immersion in 20°C water attenuates thermal, cardiovascular, and perceptual strain in older adults during heat stress

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adults >65 years of age experience deleterious health effects during extreme heat events at a greater rate than any other age cohort. The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of acute intermittent hand and forearm (H+F) water immersion and/or chronic (7 week) folic acid supplementation on reducing thermal and cardiovascular ...
