Backgroud: Calcium phosphate biomaterials have excellent bone inductivity, and exercise can promote the bone formation of biomaterials in animals, but it is not clear which exercise mode is better.
Objective: To explore the effect of different exercise modes on osteoinduction by calcium phosphate-based biomaterials which were implanted in mice.
Method: The collagen-thermosensitive hydrogel-calcium phosphate (CTC) composite was prepared and transplanted in the thigh muscle of mice, then all mice were divided randomly into four groups (n = 10): the uphill running group, the downhill running group, the swimming group and the control group (conventional breeding). Ten weeks later, the samples were harvested, fixed, decalcified, embedded in paraffin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and then the osteoinduction phenomenon was observed and compared through digital slice scanning system. The area percentage of new bone-related tissues and the number of osteocytes and chondrocytes were counted and calculated. Lastly, the immunohistochemistry of type I collagen (ColI) and osteopontin (OPN) was performed to identify the new bone tissues.
Results: The area percentage of new bone-related tissues and the number of osteocytes and chondrocytes were positively correlated; ordering from most to least of each group were as followings: the uphill running group > the swimming group > the downhill running group > the control group. The immunostaining of ColI and OPN results showed that both of the two proteins were identified in the new bone tissues, indicating that the CTC composite could induce ectopic bone formation in mice, especially training for uphill running and swimming.
Conclusion: Our results show that uphill running or swimming is a form of exercise that is beneficial to osteogenesis. According to this, we propose treatment with artificial bone transplantation to patients who suffer from bone defects. Patients should do moderate exercise, such as running uphill on the treadmill or swimming.

Introduction: Women have generally lower body size and lean- to fat-mass ratio, lower maximal anaerobic power due to a lower muscle mass, and fewer fast-twitch fibers, although they can show higher resistance to fatigue or greater metabolic flexibility than men. These factors are well known and explain the sex differences in endurance sports such as distance running (10%-12%). Several of these factors-particularly the differences in body composition and skeletal-muscle characteristics-may directly impact vertical displacement and uphill performance.

Human locomotion contains innate variability which may provide health insights. Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) has been used to quantify the temporal structure of variability for treadmill running, although it has been less commonly applied to uncontrolled overground running. This study aimed to determine how running gait complexity changes in response to gradient and elapsed exercise duration during uncontrolled overground running.

Background: Pacing strategies during endurance efforts vary depending on athlete experience, race length, and terrain. In ultramarathon trail running the specific race route profile can have a significant impact on optimal pacing strategy. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between uphill, downhill and level running with overall performance and to compare the difference in pacing strategies between top 10 (TOP-10) and non-top 10 (NOT TOP-10) finishers of a 100-km ultra-trail marathon with +5000-m elevation gain.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the anaerobic fitness of elite amateur boxers and how various performance metrics, like peak power and punching frequency, relate to physiological responses such as heart rate and blood lactate levels.
- - Twelve male Olympic boxers underwent several tests, including cycling and treadmill exercises, revealing that performance indices from different anaerobic tests were generally not closely linked.
- - The findings indicate a complex relationship between aerobic and anaerobic capacities in elite boxers, suggesting that improvements in one does not necessarily correlate with the other.
