Comparison of trabecular bone microarchitecture between older males with and without a running habit: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Despite its prevalence among seniors, the impact of running on trabecular bone microarchitecture, especially in weight-bearing sites, remains relatively unexplored. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the impact of habitual running on bone health, specifically bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone microarchitecture, in male older adults.

Methods: Twenty-five male recreational runners aged between 50 and 75 years old were recruited in this study (RUN; average running experience 7.

Prediction of half-marathon performance of male recreational marathon runners using nomogram.

Background: Long-distance running is a popular competitive sport. We performed the current research as to develop an easily accessible and applicable model to predict half-marathon performance in male recreational half-marathon runners by nomogram.

Methods: Male recreational half-marathon runners in Zhejiang Province, China were recruited.

Impact of Running Exercise on Intervertebral Disc: A Systematic Review.

Context: Running is one of the most popular sports worldwide. However, controversies exist regarding how running affects runner's intervertebral discs (IVD).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to systematically review studies that evaluated IVD morphology or composition changes in response to running exercise, to determine the impact of running exercise on IVD.

Higher Risk of Sarcopenia in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: NHANES 1999-2018.

Introduction: Recent studies suggested that sarcopenia may be a significant comorbidity of diabetes mellitus (DM). Nonetheless, studies with nationally representative data are scarce, and the changing trend of sarcopenia prevalence over time is largely unknown. Therefore, we aimed to estimate and compare the prevalence of sarcopenia in diabetic and nondiabetic US older population, and to explore the potential predictors of sarcopenia as well as the trend of sarcopenia prevalent in the past decades.

Environmental tobacco smoke and carotid intima-media thickness in healthy children and adolescents: a systematic review.

Thicker carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been a valid predictor for atherosclerosis development. A significant association between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and thickening of CIMT has been demonstrated in adults, whereas such association has scarcely been reviewed in paediatric population. The dominate electronic databases, including MEDLINE (Ovid), PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, were searched from inception.

Acute changes in knee cartilage and meniscus following long-distance running in habituate runners: a systematic review on studies using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging.

Objective: Running is among the most popular recreational activities; nonetheless, the acute post-race changes of cartilage or meniscus have rarely been determined. The current study aimed to review the acute changes in knee cartilage and meniscus among habituate runners following long-distance running detected by using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Materials And Methods: Systematic literature search was performed on those dominate clinical databases which including MEDLINE, Cochrane, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science.

Acute Effects of Foam Rolling on Hamstrings After Half-Marathon: A Muscle Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.

Foam rolling (FR) is widely used for post-exercise muscle recovery; yet, the effects of FR on skeletal muscle inflammation and microvascular perfusion following prolonged exercise are poorly understood. We aim to address the gap in knowledge by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2 mapping and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) sequences to study the acute effects of FR on hamstrings following half-marathon running in recreational runners. Sixteen healthy recreational marathon runners were recruited.

MRI study of changes in knee bone marrow edema-like signal in asymptomatic amateur marathon runners before and after half-marathon running.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of knee bone marrow edema-like signal and its changes before and after running a half marathon running in asymptomatic amateur marathon runners to explore the impact of the half marathon on knee bone marrow edema-like signal.

Methods: 50 asymptomatic amateur marathon runners (30 males, 20 females) were recruited. T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), fat-suppressed protein density weighted imaging (fs-PDWI) and three-dimensional double-echo steady-state (3D-DESS) sequence on the right knee were performed before and within 3 h after a half-marathon running.
