AI Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how the timing of aerobic exercise impacts nighttime blood pressure (BP) dips and sleep quality in prehypertensive individuals.
- - Participants did treadmill exercises at three different times (7 am, 1 pm, and 7 pm) and had their BP and sleep monitored afterward.
- - Results showed that exercising in the morning (7 am) led to a larger decrease in overnight systolic BP and improved deep sleep compared to afternoon or evening sessions.
Article Abstract
Background: During nocturnal sleep, blood pressure (BP) "dips" compared to diurnal BP, reducing stress on the cardiovascular system. Both the hypotensive response elicited by acute aerobic exercise and sleep quality can impact this dipping response.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise timing on circadian BP changes and sleep architecture.
Materials And Methods: Twenty prehypertensive subjects completed the study. During four test sessions, participants first completed a graded exercise test to exhaustion and then performed 30 minutes of treadmill exercise at 7 am (7A), 1 pm (1P), and 7 pm (7P) in a random, counterbalanced order at 65% of the heart rate obtained at peak oxygen uptake. An ambulatory cuff was used to monitor BP responses during 24 hours following exercise, and an ambulatory sleep-monitoring headband was worn during sleep following each session.
Results: Aerobic exercise at 7A invoked a greater dip in nocturnal systolic BP than exercise at 1P or 7P, although the greatest dip in nocturnal diastolic BP occurred following 7P. Compared to 1P, 7A also invoked greater time spent in deep sleep.
Conclusion: These data indicate that early morning may be the most beneficial time to engage in aerobic exercise to enhance nocturnal BP changes and quality of sleep.

Is functional training functional? a systematic review of its effects in community-dwelling older adults.
Eur Rev Aging Phys Act

Health Science Center Libraries, University of Florida, Gainesville, USA.
Background: Age-related decline in physical and cognitive capacity increases older adults' risk of disability, long-term care placement, and mortality rate. Functional training, which uses activities of daily living or simulated movements to complete activities as the intervention medium, could be more effective than rote exercise, which uses repetitive movements without added purpose, in preventing late-life disability in older people. With a growing number of studies in this area, systematically studying the effect of functional training is needed.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the association between the 2023 Beers criteria for inappropriate prescribing and different health outcomes among community-dwelling older individuals after a 1-year follow-up period and to assess the use and factors associated with inappropriate prescribing.
Methods: This longitudinal population study spanning from 2017 to 2018 included 490 community-dwelling older adults (≥60 years old) receiving care from family medicine teams in the city of São João del-Rei, Brazil. The 2023 Beers criteria was used to identify potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs).
Aerobic exercise timing affects mitochondrial dynamics and insulin resistance by regulating the circadian clock protein expression and NAD-SIRT1-PPARα-MFN2 pathway in the skeletal muscle of high-fat-diet-induced diabetes mice.

The circadian clock regulates mitochondrial function and affects time-dependent metabolic responses to exercise. The present study aimed to determine the effects of aerobic exercise timing at the light-dark phase on the proteins expression of the circadian clock, mitochondrial dynamics, and, NAD-SIRT1-PPARα axis in skeletal muscle of high-fat diet-induced diabetic mice. In this experimental study, thirty male mice were randomly assigned into two groups based on time: the early light phase, ZT3, and the early dark phase, ZT15, and three groups at each time: (1) Healthy Control (HC), (2) Diabetic Control (DC), and (3) Diabetic + Exercise (DE).

Leveraging sporting events to drive urban development has been proven effective. However, the influence of city image on the perceived experience of branded marathon events, as an embodied practice within urban spaces, remains underexplored. This study considers marathon races as significant activities integrated into urban environments and specifically investigates how city image affects the perceived experience of branded marathon events.
