Conduct problems, hyperactivity, and screen time among community youth: can mindfulness help? an exploratory study.

Background: The influence of mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) programs on behavioural problems among community youth is largely understudied. While technology continues to evolve and the prevalence of screen-based activities is rising, limited studies have accounted for screen time when examining the efficacy of an MBI. Accordingly, this study investigated the impact of MBI on conduct problems and hyperactivity among community youth, accounting for sociodemographic characteristics and four types of screen time.

Can mindfulness play a role in building social-emotional capacities among youth exposed to screens?

Introduction: Increased screen time coupled with public safety restrictions may pose a serious challenge to adequate social-emotional development in youth during the pandemic. Social-emotional competence (resilience, self-esteem, and self-compassion) are essential for youth to adapt to the "new normal" in the prolonged pandemic timeline. The current study investigated the efficacy of a mindfulness-based intervention on youth social-emotional capacity while accounting for screen time.

Exogenous Ketone Salt Supplementation and Whole-Body Cooling Do Not Improve Short-Term Physical Performance.

Exogenous ketone supplementation and whole-body cooling (WBC) have shown to independently influence exercise metabolism. Whether readily available ketone salts, with and without WBC, would provide similar metabolic benefits during steady-state aerobic and time-trial performances was investigated. Nine active males (VO: 56.

Metabolic flexibility is unimpaired during exercise in the cold following acute glucose ingestion in young healthy adults.

Purpose: Metabolic flexibility is compromised in individuals suffering from metabolic diseases, lipo- and glucotoxicity, and mitochondrial dysfunctions. Exercise studies performed in cold environments have demonstrated an increase in lipid utilization, which could lead to a compromised substrate competition, glycotoxic-lipotoxic state, or metabolic inflexibility. Whether metabolic flexibility is altered during incremental maximal exercise to volitional fatigue in a cold environment remains unclear.

Maximal Fat Oxidation: Comparison between Treadmill, Elliptical and Rowing Exercises.

Fat oxidation during exercise is associated with cardio-metabolic benefits, but the extent of which whole-body exercise modality elicits the greatest fat oxidation remains unclear. We investigated the effects of treadmill, elliptical and rowing exercise on fat oxidation in healthy individuals. Nine healthy males participated in three, peak oxygen consumption tests, on a treadmill, elliptical and rowing ergometer.

High-intensity interval exercise in the cold regulates acute and postprandial metabolism.

High-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) has been shown to be more effective than moderate-intensity exercise for increasing acute lipid oxidation and lowering blood lipids during exercise and postprandially. Exercise in cold environments is also known to enhance lipid oxidation; however, the immediate and long-term effects of HIIE exercise in cold are unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects cold stress during HIIE on acute exercise metabolism and postprandial metabolism.

Muscle cooling modulates tissue oxidative and biochemical responses but not energy metabolism during exercise.

Purpose: This study investigated whether muscle cooling and its associated effects on skeletal muscle oxidative responses, blood gases, and hormonal concentrations influenced energy metabolism during cycling.

Methods: Twelve healthy participants (Males: seven; Females: five) performed two steady-state exercise sessions at 70% of ventilatory threshold on a cycle ergometer. Participants completed one session with pre-exercise leg cooling until muscle temperature (T) decreased by 6 °C (LCO), and a separate session without cooling (CON).
