Article Abstract

Myokines, released from the muscle, enable communication between the working muscles and other tissues. Their release during physical exercise is assumed to depend on immune-hormonal-metabolic interactions concerning mode (endurance or resistance exercise), duration, and intensity. This meta-analysis aims to examine the acute changes of circulating myokines inducing immunoregulatory effects caused by a bout of resistance exercise and to consider potential moderators of the results. Based on this selection strategy, a systematic literature search was conducted for resistance exercise intervention studies measuring interleukin (IL-) 6, IL-10, IL-1ra, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) α, IL-15, IL-7, transforming growth factor (TGF-) β1, and fractalkines (FKN) before and immediately after resistance exercise in healthy individuals. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed for each myokine. We identified a moderate positive effect of resistance exercise for IL-6 and IL-1ra. Regarding IL-15 and TNF-α, small to moderate effects were found. For IL-10, no significant effect was observed. Due to no data, meta-analyses for IL-7, TGF-β1, and FKN could not be performed. No moderators (training status, type of exercise, risk of bias, age, sex, time of day, exercise volume, exercise intensity, exercise dose) of the results were detected for all tested myokines. Taken together, this systematic review and meta-analysis showed immediate positive effects of an acute resistance exercise session on IL-6, IL-1ra, TNF-α, and IL-15 levels.

Impact of muscle strength decline and exercise intervention on multimorbidity of chronic diseases in older adults.

Multimorbidity of chronic diseases is one of the most common health issues among older adults, and the resulting demand for long-term medical care and management imposes a considerable burden on healthcare systems. Muscle strength, a core indicator of overall health status, is closely associated with the risk of developing multimorbidity of chronic diseases in older adults. Decline in muscle strength not only increases the risk of multimorbidity of chronic diseases but also interacts with it to exacerbate disease burden.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, highlighting the need for effective preventive strategies. This consensus statement emphasizes the critical role of regular physical activity, including aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercises, in reducing key CVD risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and insulin resistance. Recommendations are provided for the general adult population as well as specific subgroups, including older adults, pregnant and postpartum women, individuals with CVD, and those with physical limitations.

Comparison of muscle activity between isokinetic and iso-inertial exercise.

Background: Resistance training plays a crucial role in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and athletic performance. Traditional resistance training often underloads the eccentric phase, as muscles generate more force while lengthening. Isokinetic and iso-inertial exercises have been used to overcome this limitation, with both showing greater muscle activity compared to traditional methods, potentially leading to enhanced strength and hypertrophy.

Some patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have demonstrated evidence of exercise-induced arterial hypoxaemia (EIAH). However, EIAH was not quantified using , , and measurements as previously conducted in healthy adults nor was EIAH quantified alongside simultaneous measurements of pulmonary vascular pressures, cardiorespiratory responses, or dyspnoea on exertion (DOE) in these patients. Given the effects of hypoxaemia on pulmonary vasoconstriction, cardiorespiratory responses, and DOE, we tested the hypothesis that patients with HFpEF and EIAH (EIAH) would demonstrate higher pulmonary vascular pressures, worse oxygen uptake, and greater DOE compared with patients without EIAH (EIAH).

Introduction: Submarine environments pose unique challenges to maintaining physical activity and exercise routines due to confined spaces, demanding schedules, and limited resources. This study investigated submariners' physical activity patterns, sleep quality, and perceived exercise barriers in both land- and sea-based settings, with the goal of informing targeted health interventions.

Materials And Methods: Ethics approval was granted by the Defence Science and Technology Group and Edith Cowan University review panels.
