Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to explore the links between physical function tests and frailty in older adults living in the community, specifically examining how being overweight or obese might strengthen this association.
- The research measured the mobility, balance, strength performance, and frailty status of 161 participants, using logistic regression to analyze the data.
- Results indicated that both high body mass index (BMI) and poor performance in physical function tests, like the timed up and go (TUG), are significantly associated with frailty, especially when they occur together, suggesting these factors should be vital in frailty prevention strategies.
Aims And Background: Physical inactivity is leading to obesity and consequently insulin resistance and diabetes. Feasible and cost efficient strategies like Pilates and total body resistance exercise (TRX) training can impede obesity and its compilation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 8 weeks Pilates and TRX training programs on irisin concentration and insulin resistance in overweight women.

Methods: Fifty-six 10-week old male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to seven groups: a non-diabetic (ND) group and six diabetic groups. After an infusion of type 2 diabetes, the diabetic groups were given labels as well, namely diabetic control (DC) group, exercise (Ex) group, food restriction with standard diet (FRSD) group, food restriction with low-carbohydrate diet (FRLCD) group, food restriction with standard diet combination in exercise (FRSDE) group, and food restriction with low-carbohydrate diet combination in exercise (FRLCDE) group.
