Understanding the Relationships Between Physical Activity and Climate Change: An Umbrella Review.

Background: Physical activity is crucial for maintaining health and preventing chronic diseases. However, climate conditions can impact physical activity patterns, and conversely, physical activity can impact climate change. This umbrella review aims to summarize the existing evidence regarding the relationships between physical activity and climate change, as revealed in previous reviews.

Who Benefits? A Mixed Methods Study Assessing Community Use of a Major Metropolitan Park During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

By providing spaces for recreation, physical activity, social gatherings, and time in nature, urban parks offer physical, mental, and social benefits to users. However, many urban residents face barriers to park use. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced new potential barriers to urban park access and use, including changes to daily life and employment, closure of park amenities and restrictions to public movement, and risk from the coronavirus itself.

Adherence to vitamin D supplementation guidelines in children under five years of age: a systematic literature review.

Purpose: Despite the presence of guidelines on vitamin D supplementation in infants and young children, little is known about parental adherence to their recommendations. This review aims to summarise the evidence from observational studies investigating adherence to vitamin D supplementation guidelines in children under five years of age.

Methods: Databases of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL were searched from January 2000 until July 2022.

Harnessing Citizen Science to Assess and Improve Utilization of Metropolitan Parks: the Park Activity, Recreation, and Community Study (PARCS) in St. Louis, MO.

Access to and use of parks is associated with physical activity participation. is a systematic method blending community-based participatory research (CBPR) and citizen science. As part of a comprehensive, mixed-methods study in St.

Can healthy motivated British adults achieve the revised UK government fibre recommendations of 30 g per day? Results from a preliminary study.

Background:: UK Government recommendations for dietary fibre intakes have recently increased to 30 g per day, well below current population intakes.

Aim:: This study aimed to explore whether the target for dietary fibre intake could be achieved and the effects on markers of cardiometabolic health.

Methods:: In this 4-week high-fibre intervention study, 15 participants were instructed to achieve dietary fibre intakes of 30 g/day.

Promoting healthy eating and an active lifestyle in schoolchildren.

Nurses play an important role in promoting good health in patients. With the rise in childhood obesity, nutrition is of particular significance and community nurses should have an understanding of the nutritional needs of schoolchildren. This article outlines the association between diet and health and identifies strategies to promote healthy lifestyles in children.

Biochemical and metabolomic phenotyping in the identification of a vitamin D responsive metabotype for markers of the metabolic syndrome.

Scope: Metabolic phenotyping promises to be a useful tool in human intervention studies. This study examined whether metabolic phenotyping could identify responders to vitamin D supplementation in terms of the metabolic syndrome.

Methods And Results: In a double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled dietary intervention subjects were assigned to receive 15 μg vitamin D(3) or placebo daily.

The gastroenteroinsular response to glucose ingestion during postexercise recovery.

This study examined gastrointestinal hormone and peptide responses when glucose was ingested after prolonged exercise. Six endurance-trained male athletes ran on a treadmill for 2 h at 60% VO2 max. Immediately after the run, the athletes consumed 75 g of glucose in 250 ml of water (ExGLU) or flavored water as a placebo control (ExPL).

The design and synthesis of guanosine compounds with in vitro activity against the colon cancer cell line SW480: non-taxane derived mimics of taxol?

In the course of our investigation into the use of taxol as a lead compound to design new molecules with anti-cancer activity, we have synthesized four compounds based on protected guanosine coupled to taxol isoserine side-chain analogues. These analogues show in vitro anti-cancer activity against the colon cancer cell line SW480 that their constituent parts do not.
