This special issue focuses on healthy aging and neuroprotection, particularly in the context of brain and physiological health during normal aging and Alzheimer's disease. It highlights the importance of physical activity, nutrition, and stress management in promoting healthy aging and preventing neurodegenerative diseases. The issue explores molecular pathways, genetic factors, and lifestyle interventions that support brain and physiological health in aging populations.

The aim of this study was to determine sexual differentiation in the anthropometric and physiological characteristics of Hungarian rowers in different age categories. These characteristics were measured for 15-16-year-old juniors (55 men and 36 women), 17-18-year-old older juniors (52 men and 26 women), and 19-22-year-old seniors (23 men and 8 women). The degree of sexual dimorphism was expressed in units of measurement as percentages and the dimorphism index.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the immediate effects of progressive submaximal cycling on cardiorespiratory and metabolic variables in endurance-trained athletes (like triathletes) and strength-trained athletes (like bodybuilders), along with a control group of recreationally active students.
  • A total of 32 participants were split into three groups, and their heart rate, oxygen uptake, and other metabolic factors were measured during incremental cycling workloads up to 200 W.
  • The results showed that while cardiorespiratory responses were similar between endurance and strength athletes, there were significant metabolic differences, particularly in respiratory exchange ratio and blood lactate levels when compared to the control group, suggesting that endurance athletes may benefit from combining strength training for better performance.
