Fifteen trained athletes were assessed for postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) of squat jumps (SJs) and power push-ups (PPUs) following upper body activation, lower body activation, upper and lower body activation, and rest. SJ improved similarly across all 4 conditions. PPU could not be assessed. Since the test protocol of SJ and PPU involved upper and lower body activation and caused PAPE in SJ, future work is required to determine if a nonlocalized PAPE effect exists.

Trends in Ethnic Disparities in Stroke Care and Long-Term Outcomes.

JAMA Netw Open

School of Life Course and Population Sciences, King's College London, London, United Kingdom.

Importance: Reducing the burden of stroke is a public health priority. While higher stroke incidence among ethnic minority populations (defined in the context of this study as individuals who are not White) is well established, reports on ethnic inequalities in care or outcomes are conflicting and often limited to hospital-admitted patients and short-term outcomes.

Objective: To investigate ethnic differences in stroke care and outcomes up to 5 years after stroke and describe temporal trends and contributory factors.

Recent studies emphasize the beneficial effects of exercise on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), adding to the growing body of evidence that underscores the role of exercise in improving health outcomes. Despite this, a notable gap persists in the number of healthcare providers who actively prescribe exercise as a therapeutic intervention for DCM management. In addition, exercise modulates the expression of lncRNAs, which play a pivotal role in DCM progression.
