Objectives: Elevations of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels are common after strenuous exercise. We assessed whether the composition of cTnT release after marathon race differs from that of acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods: Troponin composition was analysed in plasma samples taken from 45 runners after marathon race and from 84 patients with type 1 MI.
Purpose: The associations between work time, leisure-time, and non-workday physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SED) and 24 h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) are not well known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between domain-specific activity behavior and 24 h blood pressure.Methods: A hundred and fifty-six aging workers (mean age 62.

Article Synopsis
- Viral acute respiratory infections are a significant health concern for athletes, but their specific effects on ice hockey players were not well understood before this study.
- An outbreak in a professional ice hockey team lasted 40 days and involved 8 different viruses, including two influenza A viruses and several others like human coronavirus-NL63 and respiratory syncytial virus.
- The findings suggest that while influenza A and HCoV-NL63 may have been transmitted within the team, the majority of infections likely originated from the community, contributing to a considerable illness burden among the players.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how life transitions like relationship changes and parenthood affect daily movement behaviors in young adults, using data from 170 participants aged around 26 and 31 who wore accelerometers for a week.
- Findings indicate that, generally, light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity decreased in relation to sleep and sedentary time, with significant drops noted especially when individuals transitioned into partnerships or became new parents.
- The research highlights the need to consider these life changes when promoting physical activity, suggesting that individuals may require support to maintain their activity levels during such transitions.
