Objectives: To meta-analyze lipid outcomes from supervised exercise interventions among healthy adults.
Methods: Comprehensive search strategies identified trials testing supervised exercise interventions in samples of healthy adults. Data were coded and analyzed using random effects meta-analysis methods. Moderator analyses explored whether design, sample, or intervention characteristics were linked with lipid outcomes.
Results: Data were analyzed from 344 comparisons. The overall mean effect size for 2-group comparisons was 0.28, corresponding to reduced total cholesterol of 8.65 mg/dl. Study effect sizes were greater where participants were obese at baseline, and for interventions utilizing low-intensity exercise.
Conclusions: Supervised exercise interventions can improve lipid outcomes for healthy adults, with possible greater improvement for obese individuals, and through low-intensity exercise.

Diversity-Related, Student-Led National Medical Organizations: Leadership Opportunities for Learners.
MedEdPORTAL

Dean, Universidad Central Del Caribe, School of Medicine; Executive Director, Latino Medical Student Association.
Introduction: In light of the lack of diversity in academic medicine leadership, diversity-related, student-led national medical organizations (NMOs) provide a space for solace and reprieve among common peers while providing an opportunity to develop leadership competencies in a supportive environment. Despite the impact NMOs have had on cultivating generations of leaders in medicine, trainees may not identify opportunities for leadership development that are transferable to future careers in academic medicine.
Methods: We designed and implemented a dynamic 60-minute workshop with an interactive PowerPoint presentation, author-owned video testimonials (from past student leaders of NMOs), two case presentations, and reflection exercises.

Unlabelled: Although exercise is medicine for outpatients with schizophrenia, it is unclear if one-year adherence-supported exercise leads to a "tipping point", at which the exercise becomes a routine manifested as life-long training in the patient group.
Methods: Forty-eight outpatients (28 men/20 women: 35 ± 11 (mean ± SD) years) with schizophrenia (ICD-10: F20-29) were randomised to: 1) collaborative care group (TG), performing aerobic interval (AIT; 4 × 4-min treadmill walking/running at ∼90 % peak heart rate) and leg press maximal strength training (MST; 4 × 4 repetitions at ∼90 % maximal strength [1RM]) 2d·wk. for 1-year, supported by transportation and training supervision; or 2) control group (CG).
The Efficacy of Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation in the Treatment of Urinary Incontinence in Female Athletes: A Systematic Review.
Sports (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, 43126 Parma, Italy.
Urinary incontinence (UI) prevalence reaches the 80% rate in female athletes involved in high-impact sports. In this context, although conservative treatment represents the first therapeutic choice, there is still a lack of knowledge on the efficacy of conservative programs in young female athletes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of pelvic floor rehabilitation in the treatment of UI in young nulliparous female athletes.

Design: The purpose of this review is the analysis of the literature concerning the effects of physical exercise in cancer patients undergoing medical oncologic treatment. Papers were retrieved from the scrutiny of 15 reviews/meta-analyses published in the last 2 years, which, however, pooled different populations of patients (surgical and medical patients, receiving or not an oncologic therapy, harboring a cancer, or being survivors).
Results: We reviewed the data of 35 RCTs on the use of physical exercise in cancer patients, distinguishing well-nourished from malnourished patients.
