The effects of resistance exercise on fiber-type-specific expression of insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-1R) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) was determined in 6 healthy males. The expression of both genes increased in Type I fibers (p < 0.05), but only GLUT4 increased (p < 0.05) in Type II fibers. These data demonstrates that an acute bout of resistance exercise can up-regulate mechanisms of glucose uptake in slow and fast-twitch fibers, but the IGF signaling axis may not be as effective in fast-twitch fibers.

Use of mHealth Technology for Improving Exercise Adherence in Patients With Heart Failure: Systematic Review.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
College of Nursing, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE, United States.
Background: The known and established benefits of exercise in patients with heart failure (HF) are often hampered by low exercise adherence. Mobile health (mHealth) technology provides opportunities to overcome barriers to exercise adherence in this population.
Objective: This systematic review builds on prior research to (1) describe study characteristics of mHealth interventions for exercise adherence in HF including details of sample demographics, sample sizes, exercise programs, and theoretical frameworks; (2) summarize types of mHealth technology used to improve exercise adherence in patients with HF; (3) highlight how the term "adherence" was defined and how it was measured across mHealth studies and adherence achieved; and (4) highlight the effect of age, sex, race, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, and HF etiology (systolic vs diastolic) on exercise adherence.

Background: Physical activity (PA) and peripheral insulin resistance are two promising targets for delaying the onset of cognitive impairment in preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). Understanding how these factors interact and whether their influence on cognitive outcomes is sex-dependent may be crucial for designing effective lifestyle interventions to protect aging brain health. This study examines whether PA and sex modify the relationship between diabetic-level peripheral insulin resistance and cognitive function in a sample enriched with risk for AD.

Previous studies have shown that physical exercise is a protective factor against the clinical evolution of dementia in MCI. Lower muscle strength levels are associated with a greater risk of AD incidence.

Background: Physical exercise improves clinical state of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and evidence from experimental models suggests it has a potential to slow down the disease progression. Improved glucose metabolism as well as exerkines, bioactive molecules released into circulation with each exercise bout, contribute to the synchronized exercise-induced adaptive response at a systemic level. Our aim was to assess effects of exercise on clinical state and molecular changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood of patients with PD.

Our current understanding of how exercise promotes cognitive function largely stems from animal studies and is restricted to aerobic exercise training (AT). It is widely hypothesized that AT induces neurotrophic factor cascades (i.e.
