The effects of exercise on non-motor experiences of daily living experienced in Parkinson's Disease: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Introduction: Whilst non-motor experiences of daily living (NMeDL) reduce quality of life (QoL) in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD), research dedicated to NMeDL is lacking compared to motor symptoms. The aim of this Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) was to compare and determine the effects of exercise and dual-task training interventions on NMeDL for people with early-to-mid stage PD.

Methods: Eight electronic databases were systematically searched, identifying randomised control trials (RCTs) that assessed the effect of interventions on the Movement Disease Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS); Part I scores.

Sleep restriction between consecutive days of exercise impairs sprint and endurance cycling performance.

The study aim was to determine the effect of sleep restriction (3 h) between consecutive days of exercise on sprint and endurance cycling performance, wellness, and mood. A total of 10 well-trained males performed 2 consecutive-day trials separated by a normal night sleep (control [CONT]; mean [SD] sleep duration 3.0 [0.

Effectiveness and Benefits of Exercise on Older People Living With Mental Illness' Physical and Psychological Outcomes in Regional Australia: A Mixed-Methods Study.

Regular exercise is reported to improve depressive symptoms and quality of life for people experiencing mental illness. For older adults, including strength and balance can also decrease falls. Mental health services seldom include funding for Accredited Exercise Physiologist programs.

The exercise-induced inflammatory response in inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: This study investigated selected inflammatory responses to acute and chronic exercise in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on all relevant exercise-based intervention publications with IBD participants. The study included articles that utilised a broad range of acute and chronic exercise interventions, with inflammatory biomarkers measured and symptoms documented, both pre- and post-exercise for those with IBD.

Metabolic and inflammatory health in SARS-CoV-2 and the potential role for habitual exercise in reducing disease severity.

Introduction: The rapid emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019 has infected millions of people worldwide with significant morbidity and mortality with various responses from health authorities to limit the spread of the virus. Although population-wide inoculation is preferred, currently, there is large variation and disparity in the acquisition, development, and deployment of vaccination programs in many countries. Even with availability of a vaccine, achieving herd immunity does not guarantee against reinfection from SARS-CoV-2.

Associations between exercise, inflammation and symptom severity in those with mental health disorders.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effects of 6-weeks of moderate intensity aerobic exercise on markers of inflammation and symptom severity in those undergoing management of a mental health disorder.

Method: Twenty six participants were allocated into two groups, those reporting as apparently healthy (AH, n = 13) or those undergoing the management of a mental health disorder (MI, n = 13). Following a baseline testing and familiarization session, participants commenced the 6-week aerobic training intervention, involving stationary cycling at 65% heart rate reserve for 35 min progressing to 70% for 40 min.

Inflammatory Status and Cardio-metabolic Risk Stratification of Rotational Shift Work.

Objectives: To investigate the physiological effects of rotational shift work on measures of cardio-metabolic function.

Methods: Sedentary, healthy men (n = 87; age 37 ± 9 years; body mass index: 30.7 ± 5.

The effect of cigarette smoking history on autonomic and cerebral oxygenation responses to an acute exercise bout in smokers.

The extent of smoking history is causally linked to adverse cerebro- and cardiovascular health outcomes, while conversely, exercise decreases this risk and associated mortality. However, the acute cerebro- and cardiovascular responses to exercise in smokers are unknown, and may provide insight to understand chronic adaptation. This study examined the acute heart rate (HR) variability (R-R intervals) and cerebral oxygenation responses to exercise in smokers compared to nonsmokers.

Tobacco smoking and acute exercise on immune-inflammatory responses among relative short and longer smoking histories.

This study examined the acute effects of combined tobacco smoking and exercise on immune-inflammatory responses in smoker populations with shorter or longer smoking history. The cohort comprised 14 young male adult (YSM) and 12 middle-aged (MSM) male active cigarette smokers matched for aerobic fitness and smoking behavior. Following an initial familiarization and baseline testing session, participants completed a smoking and exercise protocol.
