Adherence to unsupervised exercise in sedentary individuals: A randomised feasibility trial of two mobile health interventions.

Introduction: Adherence to unsupervised exercise is poor, yet unsupervised exercise interventions are utilised in most healthcare settings. Thus, investigating novel ways to enhance adherence to unsupervised exercise is essential. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of two mobile health (mHealth) technology-supported exercise and physical activity (PA) interventions to increase adherence to unsupervised exercise.

treatment of coronary artery endothelial cells with serum post-exercise training offers limited protection against exposure to FEC-T chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer associates with well-documented cardiovascular detriments. Exercise has shown promise as a potentially protective intervention against cardiac toxicity. However, there is a paucity of evidence for the benefits of exercise on the vasculature.

Evidence-based vs. social media based high-intensity interval training protocols: Physiological and perceptual responses.

Objective: High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a time-efficient exercise modality to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, and has recently been popularised by social media influencers. However, little is known regarding acute physiological and perceptual responses to these online protocols compared to HIIT protocols used within research. The aim was to investigate acute physiological, perceptual and motivational responses to two HIIT protocols popular on social media, and compare these to two evidence-based protocols.
