Residual Effects of Physical Exercise After Periods of Training Cessation in Older Adults: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

*New meta-analyses* ...engaging in physical training 2x/week for over 2 months before a hiatus of at least 1 month can significantly preserve functional capacity, including agility, walking ability, standing ability, and stair walking":

WOW!💣 At the end of 2024, our colleague @alesgaba delivered a true publishing masterpiece! 🥳 Huge congratulations on the publication in such a prestigious scientific journal to you and all co-authors. Thank you for representing our faculty so brilliantly! 👏 Check it out!!

New Meta-Analysis (n=21 interventions) confirms: "Exercise-based interventions, irrespective of modality and intensity, are highly effective in preventing functional declines after training cessation among older adults" doi.org/10.1111/sms.70…

Our paper in @SportsMedicineJ from 2011, describing the dose-response relation between exercise intensity and affective responses, has now reached 1,500 citations, receiving more than 100 citations per year over the past 10 years. doi.org/10.2165/115906…

"....humans evolved to engage in lifelong habitual #PhysicalActivity, but never evolved to exercise which is a modern behaviour ...in industrialised economies." Excellent (very thought-provoking!) review in @BJSM_BMJ on why ppl struggle to stick to exercise & possible solutions. We have completely neglected this evolutionary perspective - could it be one of the reasons adherence is so poor? bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/2/1… Way forward: expore ways to support communities to increase their #IncidentalPhysicalActivity + invest more on exercise adherence. "To make #PhysicalActivity necessary and rewarding, environments and cultural norms that encourage PA are essential to counteract the strong evolutionary instinct to avoid discretionary movement." @DavidRaichlen @Matthew_Ahmadi_ @NKoemel #VILPA @CPC_usyd @syd_health @eatlikeanimals

Excited to be part of this amazing meta-analysis! Huge thanks to @alesgaba for leading us on this exceptional study! A remarkable milestone in understanding movement behaviors and obesity!

@alesgaba Wow. Fantastic achievement 👍👍

📊 Our latest meta-analysis, incorporating data from over 12,000 participants across 7 countries, provides new insights into how changes in daily movement behaviors influence obesity risks across the lifespan. 🔗Full text: doi.org/10.1007/s40279… 👇Explore more in this video.

Maternal and fetal responses to acute high-intensity resistance exercise during pregnancy 🤰💪 NEW #OriginalResearch in the BJSM ✅ What happens to fetal heartrate during resistance exercise? Does the use of Valsalva effect this? Exciting new study from @ExercisePreg and team 👏 👉 bit.ly/3DnKzOC

📢 Our longitudinal analysis of the #ELSPAC data revealed 4 typologies: 1️⃣ Actives 🏃‍♂️ 2️⃣ Active Screeners 💻 3️⃣ Poor Sleepers 😴 4️⃣ Averages ⚖️ Over time, fewer adolescents stayed active, and poor sleep habits increased significantly. 📖 Read more: doi.org/10.1136/bmjope…

The new generation of @actigraph LEAP devices just arrived at @ftk_up ! I'll be testing them to see if they're suitable for our upcoming #ReDiKid project led by @jana_pelclova . First impressions: More user-friendly - especially for children - than the previous ones.😇

The more active the parents are, the more active their youth with CF! New insights into the physical activity of youth with CF shown by @ManonKinaupenne @Reva_UGent @ugent_fge @MariekeDC @SBiervliet

Our latest study uncovered three sleep profiles: 😴 Optimal sleepers 🛌 Optimal sleepers with sporadic sleep problems 💤 Poor Sleepers ❓Wondering which group has better adiposity and cardiorespiratory fitness? 📖 Dive into the full paper here doi.org/10.1111/apa.17…

The WEALTH Project disseminated more of our findings at the The French Nutrition Days – Journées Francophones de Nutrition @lesjfn. Thank you to our French team member Jérôme Bouchan @JeromeBouchan of @univ_spn

Brief bouts of intense PA embedded into daily life is emerging as a target for reducing major adverse cardiovascular events🫀New research focuses on the sex-differences, and the power of Vigorous Intermittent Lifestyle PA (VILPA) of as little as 1-2 mins! bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

🗣️ Small amounts of incidental vigorous physical exertion may almost halve major cardiovascular events risk in women 🙌 #OriginalResearch #ExerciseMedicine #OpenAccess Just 1.5-4 daily mins of brisk stair climbing or carrying heavy shopping count❕ Read now ▶️ bit.ly/3B5P13R @M_Stamatakis @ecthogersen @MarieHMurphy @AngeloSabag @drscottlear @JasonGill74
