Article Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of a personalized, 16-week community-based physical activity intervention for adolescents with diabetes or obesity and examine the weekly patterns of adherence to the intervention.
Methods: Physical activity adherence was evaluated throughout the intervention using accelerometers in 46 adolescents with type 1 diabetes (N = 22), type 2 diabetes (N = 12), or obesity (N = 12) (age, 14.4 ± 1.5 years; 56.5% female; 61% Hispanic). Of these, 39 completed the intervention, and 7 did not.
Results: There were no differences in baseline anthropometric characteristics or fitness between the completers versus noncompleters. Completers began above 1060 metabolic equivalent (MET) min/wkand stayed above 900 MET min/wk for ~4 weeks and declined 39 MET min/wk until end of study. Noncompleters began at 924 MET min/wk yet dropped below 800 MET min/wk by end of week 1 and declined an average of 151 MET min/wk. Interestingly, self-report of barriers to activity were higher in completers versus noncompleters.
Conclusions: Findings highlight that adolescents completing the intervention could sustain a prescribed level of personalized activity for at least 1 month but had steadfast declines in weekly activity. Even with individualized programs, factors other than barriers to activity need to be considered when designing approaches to physical activity adherence for adolescents with diabetes or obesity.

Women with endometriosis are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and demonstrate endothelial dysfunction. The gold standard for diagnosis of endometriosis is through operative laparoscopy with surgical excision and histopathologic identification of endometrial-type glands and stroma. Symptoms of endometriosis are often immediately improved or resolved following excision surgery, but the cardiovascular impact of excision surgery is underappreciated.

Background: The effects of high-volume exercise on coronary atherosclerosis remain controversial.
Objectives: The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of endurance exercise on coronary atherosclerosis assessed by cardiac computed tomography (CT) in athletes and nonathletes, and analyze differences based on sex.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central for relevant studies from inception to September 2024, assessing the impact of different exercise volumes on subclinical coronary artery atherosclerosis assessed by coronary artery calcification (CAC) scoring or CT angiography (CCTA).

Objectives: Physical function and physical activity (PA) are key drivers of health and autonomy at older age. We examined the effects of supplemental vitamin D3, supplemental marine omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3s), and a simple home exercise program (SHEP), alone or in combination, on change in physical function and PA among generally healthy older adults.
Design: Multi-center, 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design, randomized controlled trial, follow-up of three years METHODS: Self-reported PA and physical function were pre-defined outcomes of the DO-HEALTH trial, which included older adults (≥70 years) free of major comorbidities.
