AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to assess how the timing of exercise impacts blood sugar control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) who are on metformin.
  • 26 patients participated in the study, undergoing tests after metformin alone and after high-intensity interval training at different times post-breakfast (30, 60, and 90 minutes).
  • Results showed that exercising at any of the three times led to a significant drop in glucose and insulin levels compared to metformin alone, highlighting the importance of timing for exercise in managing T2D.

Article Abstract

Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine the acute effects of the timing of exercise on the glycemic control during and after exercise in T2D.

Methods: This study included 26 T2D patients (14 women and 12 men) who were treated with metformin. All patients were tested on four occasions: metformin administration alone (Metf), high-intensity interval training (HIIT) performed at 30 minutes (EX30), 60 minutes (EX60), and 90 minutes (EX90) postbreakfast, respectively. Glucose, insulin, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were examined.

Results: Glucose decreased significantly after the exercise in EX30, EX60, and EX90. Compared with Metf, the decline in glucose immediately after the exercise was larger in EX30 (-2.58 mmol/L; 95% CI, -3.36 to -1.79 mmol/L; < 0.001), EX60 (-2.13 mmol/L; 95% CI, -2.91 to -1.34 mmol/L; < 0.001), and EX90 (-1.87 mmol/L; 95% CI, -2.65 to -1.08 mmol/L; < 0.001), respectively. Compared with Metf, the decrease in insulin was larger in EX30 and EX60 (both < 0.001).

Conclusions: Timing of exercise is a factor to consider when prescribing exercise for T2D patients treated with metformin. This trial is registered with ChiCTR-IOR-16008469 on 13 May 2016.

Background: After breast cancer (BC), women may face other severe symptoms such as sleep problems. The use of simple, fast, and reliable scales is necessary in the clinic to improve patient benefits, and sleep is an important aspect to be addressed.

Objective: This study was conducted to adapt and validate the Spanish version of the satisfaction, alertness, timing, efficiency, and duration (SATED) scale for measuring sleep health in women who have completed treatment for BC in Spain (SATED-BC).

The Prevalence of and Factors Associated with Disordered Eating Among Adult Athletes in Italy and Lebanon.

Nutrients

January 2025

Center for the Study of Metabolism, Body Composition and Lifestyle, Department of Biomedical, Metabolic and Neural Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, 41125 Modena, Italy.

Background/objectives: Disordered eating (DE) is a wide-spectrum condition, represented by altered eating patterns, behaviors, and attitudes aimed at controlling food intake, body weight, and shape, which does not necessarily satisfy the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder of clinical severity. DE is frequently reported among athletes, but its prevalence and associated factors have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we intended to assess the prevalence of DE among adult athletes from different sports disciplines in Italy and Lebanon and to identify the factors associated with DE.

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is characterized by an asymmetrical formation of the spine and ribcage. Recent work provides evidence of asymmetrical (right versus left side) paraspinal muscle size, composition, and activation amplitude in adolescents with AIS. Each of these factors influences muscle force generation.
