Although previous studies showed that exercise can improve cognitive dysfunction in type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) has been shown to play a role in regulating inflammatory responses in the brain and increasing BDNF expression. This study investigated the effects of treadmill exercise on the hippocampal inflammatory response and BDNF expression in a T2DM mice model. We also tested whether these effects are SIRT1-dependent. In this study, C57BL/ 6 mice were used to construct T2DM model by a high-fat diet and STZ injection. We found that treadmill exercise for 8 weeks can significantly improve the cognitive dysfunction, alleviate activation of proinflammatory microglia M1 (Iba1 labeling) in the hippocampus of T2DM mice, and reduce the levels of proinflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, increase the expression levels of anti-inflammatory factors IL-10, TGF-β1, and promote the release of BDNF. We also found that exercise activate the signaling pathway of SIRT1/ NF-κB and SIRT1/ PGC-1α/ FNDC5/ BDNF. After the application of nicotinamide (NAM, SIRT1 inhibitor), the positive effects of exercise were remarkably suppressed. Our results showed that long-term moderate intensity treadmill exercise can alleviate inflammatory response in the hippocampus and increase BDNF expression in T2DM mice by activating SIRT1.

Objectives: The study aimed to examine the effects of exercise-induced muscle damage on running kinetics.
Design: Twenty-six adult recreational male runners performed 60 min of downhill running (-10 %) at 65 % of maximal heart rate. Running gait changes, systemic and localized muscle damage markers were assessed pre - and post-exercise induced muscle damage protocol.
Single-centre, double-blinded, randomised placebo-controlled trial to determine the effect of a 12-week home-based programme of footplate neuromuscular electrical stimulation on walking capacity in people with peripheral artery disease: a protocol for the Foot-PAD trial.

Introduction: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can experience intermittent claudication, which limits walking capacity and the ability to undertake daily activities. While exercise therapy is an established way to improve walking capacity in people with PAD, it is not feasible in all patients. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) provides a way to passively induce repeated muscle contractions and has been widely used as a therapy for chronic conditions that limit functional capacity.

Background: Physical activity, such as running, protects against cardiovascular disease and obesity but can induce oxidative stress. Athletes often consume antioxidants to counteract the overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species during exercise. , particularly its phycocyanin content, activates the Nrf2 pathway, stimulating antioxidant responses.

Background/objectives: Low energy availability (LEA) can cause impaired reproductive function, bone health issues, and suppressed immune function, and may result in decreased performance and overall health status. The purpose of this study was to investigate adaptions of body composition, blood status, resting metabolic rate, and endurance performance to gain more comprehensive insights into the symptoms of LEA and the adaptive effects in the athlete population (active women (n = 11) and men (n = 11)).
Methods: Three treatments were defined as 45 (EA45, control), 30 (EA30), and 10 (EA10) kcal/kg FFM/day and randomly assigned.

Clinical motion analysis plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of mobility-limiting diseases. Within this assessment, relative (point-to-point) tracking of extremities could benefit from increased accuracy. Given the limitations of current wearable sensor technology, supplementary spatial data such as distance estimates could provide added value.
