Article Abstract
Background: The number of published studies of exercise training in multiple sclerosis (MS) has grown exponentially with increasing numbers of outcomes capturing exercise effects. This has complicated the selection of relevant indicators and interpretation of intervention effects.
Objectives: The Outcomes subgroup of the MoXFo initiative aimed to (1) identify outcome measures and biomarkers in studies of exercise training in MS; (2) systematically map retrieved outcomes to International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) categories; (3) identify gaps where relevant ICF categories have been omitted.
Methods: Electronic databases and registers were searched from 2010 to July 2020 to identify systematic reviews or meta-analyses of controlled trials of exercise training on any outcome in MS. Retrieved outcomes/biomarkers were mapped to the corresponding ICF category.
Results: Eighty-one review articles reporting 235 different outcomes were included. The outcomes corresponded to 15 chapters and 45 categories within the ICF. Outcomes mapped primarily to body function (30 categories) and activities and participation (9 categories) components. Few outcomes mapped to body structures (2 categories) or environmental factors (1 category).
Conclusion: This sets the stage to develop a resource for researchers/clinicians that will aid in the selection of appropriate outcomes/biomarkers when examining exercise effects in MS.

Mechanistic Insights Into Postprandial Insulin-Glucagon Interactions and Their Impact on Glucose Flux After Protein-Glucose Coingestion in Humans.

Unlabelled: Despite stimulating glucagon secretion, the mechanisms by which protein ingestion lowers glucose excursions remain unclear. We investigated this using the triple stable isotope glucose tracer technique to measure postprandial glucose fluxes. Eleven healthy adults completed three trials, ingesting 25 g glucose (25G; 100 kcal), 50 g glucose (50G; 200 kcal), or 25 g glucose plus 25 g whey protein (25WG; 200 kcal).

JAMA Psychiatry
September 2025
School of Psychological Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Importance: Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug, with 10% to 30% of regular users developing cannabis use disorder (CUD), a condition linked to altered hippocampal integrity. Evidence suggests high-intensity interval training (HIIT) enhances hippocampal structure and function, with this form of physical exercise potentially mitigating CUD-related cognitive and mental health impairments.
Objective: To determine the impact of a 12-week HIIT intervention on hippocampal integrity (ie, structure, connectivity, biochemistry) compared with 12 weeks of strength and resistance (SR) training in CUD.
Therapeutic Effect of Physical Activity in a Male Wistar Rat Model of Paraquat and Maneb-Induced Parkinson's Disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by impairments in motor control following the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons located in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Environmental pesticides such as Paraquat (PQ) and Maneb (MB) contribute to the onset of PD by inducing oxidative stress (OS). This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of moderate physical activity (PA) on both motor and non-motor symptoms in a Wistar rat model of Paraquat and Maneb (PQ/MB) induced PD.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 16 weeks of functional versus dual-task training on aspects of pain in older women with chronic nonspecific low back pain.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 38 participants aged 60 to 79 years divided into 2 groups: functional training (FT) and dual-task training (DT). We assessed pressure pain threshold (PPT), temporal summation of pain, conditioned pain modulation (CPM), trunk instability, isometric strength, and endurance of trunk muscles before and 16 weeks after training.
Improved Cardiac Structure and Ventricular-Arterial Coupling After Baroreflex Activation Therapy.
JACC Case Rep
September 2025
Cardiovascular Division, Department of Medicine, Froedtert and Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. Electronic address:
Baroreflex activation therapy (BAT) improves functional status, quality of life, and exercise capacity in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; however, its direct effects on reversing adverse cardiac remodeling as assessed by improvements in cardiac structure, function, and coupling with the arterial system remain unclear. We present 2 cases of patients who initially presented with decompensated heart failure, and despite initial medical therapy and continued outpatient follow-up, were unable to tolerate full escalation of guideline-directed medical therapy. The patients remained symptomatic, with high biomarker levels, poor functional capacity, severe heart failure symptoms, and objectively had decreased stroke volume, low left ventricular ejection fraction, and high left ventricular mass.
