Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 10 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and HIIT combined with circuit resistance training (HCRT) on selected measures of physical fitness, the expression of miR-9, -15a, -34a, -145, and - 155 as well as metabolic risk factors including lipid profiles and insulin resistance in middle-aged overweight/obese women.

Methods: Twenty-seven overweight/obese women aged 35-50 yrs. were randomized to HIIT (n = 14) or HCRT (n = 13) groups.

Objectives: The purpose of this -analysis was to investigate the association of aerobic, resistance and concurrent exercises vs. control group on inflammaging markers [tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1-beta, IL-8, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)] in overweight or obesity patients with heart failure (HF).

Methods: The databases of Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar were searched until August 31, 2022 for exercise interventions vs.

Background: The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effects of concurrent, aerobic, and resistance exercise on markers of inflammation and vascular adhesion molecules (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], interleukin [IL]-6, tumour necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α], soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [sICAM-1], soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 [sVCAM-1], fibrinogen, IL-1-β, IL-10, IL-18, and E-selectin) in patients with heart failure (HF).

Methods: The PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases were searched for dates up to August 31, 2022. Randomized controlled trial studies for exercise interventions on circulating inflammatory and vascular adhesion markers in patients with HF were included.

Background: The purpose of this systematic review & meta-analysis was to determine the roles of aerobic, resistance or concurrent exercises vs. control (CON) group on B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro hormone BNP (NT-proBNP) in patients with heart failure.

Methods: The electronic databases of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched up to May 2022 for aerobic vs.

Aims: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on postprandial glucose (PPG) and insulin (PPI) versus non-exercise control and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in participants with both normal and impaired glucose.

Methods: The PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science electronic databases were searched up to October 2021 for randomized trials evaluating HIIT versus control and/or versus MICT on glucose and insulin AUC using oral glucose tolerance testing. Subgroup analyses based on intervention duration (short-duration < 8 weeks, moderate-duration ≥ 8 weeks), baseline glucose levels (normal glucose and impaired glucose) and type of HIIT (L-HIIT and SIT) were also conducted across included studies.

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of resistance training (RT) with and without caloric restriction (CR) on visceral fat (VF). PubMed and Scopus were searched to identify original articles published through December 2020. Standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were determined, and separate analyses were conducted for RT versus control, and RT plus CR versus CR only.

Background: The postmenopausal stage of life is associated with increased systemic inflammation that may be mitigated through exercise training. The effects of exercise training on inflammatory markers in postmenopausal women, however, require further elucidation. We therefore performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the available high-quality research on the effects of exercise training on inflammatory markers in postmenopausal women.

Background: The impact of aerobic training on pulmonary function by modulating gene expression of estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα), sex hormones and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (Vit D) in postmenopausal women (PMW) with Vit D deficiency is uncertain.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic training on pulmonary function, ERα gene expression, serum levels of sex hormones and Vit D in PMW with Vit D deficiency.

Methods: Twenty-nine sedentary PMW with Vit D deficiency (aged 45-65 yrs) were randomized to exercise (EX, n = 15) and control (C, n = 14) groups.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12-week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and 5-month detraining on electrocardiogram (ECG) indices and serum levels of 25-hydroxivitamin D (Vit D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium (Ca), and phosphorus (P) in postmenopausal women (PMWs).

Materials And Methods: Thirty-one PMWs (aged 50-70 yrs) were randomized to exercise (EX, n = 16) and control (C, n = 15) groups. EX group performed of 12-week of warm up- walking/jogging moderate intensity aerobic exercise training program- recovery (60 min/day, 3 days/week at 70% of maximal heart rate reserve), and then 5-month detraining remained.

Our aim was to explore the putative beneficial effects of low-to-moderate intensity exercise training program in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This study evaluated the changes in blood oxidative stress status, inflammatory biomarkers and IBS severity symptoms following 24 weeks of moderate aerobic exercise in sedentary IBS patients. A total of 109 female volunteers (aged 18-41 yrs) who fulfilled Rome III criteria for the diagnosis of IBS were screened and 60 were randomized to exercise (EX, n = 30) and non-exercise (NON-EX, n = 30) groups.
