AI Article Synopsis
- Regular exercise has proven benefits for cardiovascular health in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D), but maintaining good glycemic control during workouts is still a challenge.
- Carbohydrate consumption is crucial for fueling workouts and preventing hypoglycemia, and it involves careful consideration of the amount, timing, and quality of carbohydrates.
- This review aims to summarize existing literature on how carbohydrate intake impacts exercise performance and glycemic control in people with T1D.
Article Abstract
Although the benefits of regular exercise on cardiovascular risk factors are well established for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), glycemic control remains a challenge during exercise. Carbohydrate consumption to fuel the exercise bout and/or for hypoglycemia prevention is an important cornerstone to maintain performance and avoid hypoglycemia. The main strategies pertinent to carbohydrate supplementation in the context of exercise cover three aspects: the amount of carbohydrates ingested (i.e., quantity in relation to demands to fuel exercise and avoid hypoglycemia), the timing of the intake (before, during and after the exercise, as well as circadian factors), and the quality of the carbohydrates (encompassing differing carbohydrate types, as well as the context within a meal and the associated macronutrients). The aim of this review is to comprehensively summarize the literature on carbohydrate intake in the context of exercise in people with T1D.

Physical activity and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tanzania: insights for public health policy in low-income contexts.

Department of Physical Education and Sport Studies, University of Ghana, Accra, Ghana.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic heightened anxiety levels globally, disproportionately affecting low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Physical activity (PA) has shown potential to alleviate mental health challenges, including anxiety. This study explores the relationship between PA and anxiety among Tanzanian adults during the pandemic, examining whether self-reported health status moderates this relationship and identifying demographic variations.

We hypothesized that these dynamic health benefits of β-hydroxybutyrate might stem from its ability to regulate genome architecture through chromatin remodeling via histone β-hydroxybutyrylation, thereby influencing the transcriptome.

Unlabelled: Education in older adults is a powerful tool for transforming themselves and their environment; through it, it is possible to change beliefs and attitudes that allow for deep and meaningful learning, enabling this age group to transmit what they have learned to their peers.
Aim: To describe the perceived benefits six months after completing the Senior-FITT Peer Instructors Diploma, a pioneering virtual educational program in Chile.
Materials And Methods: A qualitative study was conducted based on a theoretical, methodological approach that derives from grounded theory.

Background: Attentional engagement, the ability to maintain focus on relevant tasks, plays a crucial role in optimizing human performance. Studies have shown that athletes exhibit superior attentional engagement compared to non-athletes; however, it remains unclear if these benefits persist in non-sport-related tasks or differ across types of sports expertise, such as open-skill versus closed-skill sports.
Methods: Ninety-three young adults, divided into open-skill athletes ( = 31), closed-skill athletes ( = 31), and a control group ( = 31), completed an auditory oddball task while the P3 component of event-related potentials was measured to assess attentional processing.

Article Synopsis
- Gene expression biomarkers can help identify both genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens, which could reduce the need for animal testing.
- In August 2022, a workshop reviewed current methods for using transcriptomic profiling to detect genotoxic chemicals, examining 1341 papers to find reliable biomarkers.
- The analysis identified two promising in vivo biomarkers and three in vitro biomarkers that show over 92% predictive accuracy and can be adapted for various testing conditions, with support from workshop participants for their regulatory adoption.
