Article Abstract
Background: Telemonitoring can maintain daily exercise routine during the COVID-19 pandemic of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, there are barriers to adherence and attendance with remote physical rehabilitation. The main objective of this study was to evaluate adherence rate, barriers to attendance, and safety of a telemonitoring program for individuals with PD; and secondarily to evaluate the individual and their family members perceived overall experience when performing the telemonitoring physical exercise program.
Methods: This was a phase 1 of a clinical trial, engaging 19 individuals with idiopathic PD of an in-person community rehabilitation program. For 24 weeks an asynchronous telemonitoring physical exercise program delivered two sessions per week by video including warm-up, balance, aerobic and resistance exercises, and cool-down. During the remote program were verified: adherence rate at entrance, attendance rate, barriers to attend, safety, and overall experience of the program.
Results And Conclusion: Only one participant did not perform any session and 18 participants completed between 2 and 34 sessions. Participants with a caregiver showed higher attendance rates. The most frequently cited barriers to attend the program were: pain; lack of motor skills; and reduced physical fitness. In relation to safety of the program, the most frequently reported was fear of falling. Although participants reported the telemonitoring program induced health benefits and they had positive experiences for themselves and for their families, most of participants prefer an in-person program. In this sense, the asynchronous telemonitoring physical exercise program was safe, showed moderate adherence, with attendance rate depending on the presence of a companion.

Dynamic resistance exercise (RE) produces sinusoidal fluctuations in blood pressure, with hypotension and cerebral hypoperfusion commonly observed immediately following RE. Whether the cerebral vasculature adapts to these regular blood pressure challenges is unclear. This study examined the cerebrovascular response to post-dynamic RE orthostasis.

The impact of housing temperature on exercise-induced metabolic adaptations is not well understood, despite extensive research on the benefits of exercise for metabolic health. The aim of this study was to elucidate how housing temperatures influence the molecular responses and metabolic benefits of exercise in mice. Male C57BL/6N mice were housed at either room temperature (RT, 21°C) or in a thermoneutral environment (TN, 29°C) and subjected to either a 6-week or acute exercise regimen.

Background: The increasing prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), parallels the rise in sedentary lifestyles. MASLD is the most common form of steatotic liver disease (SLD), which represents the umbrella beneath which the vast majority of chronic liver diseases fall, including alcohol-related liver disease and their overlap. These conditions are the leading contributors to chronic liver disease, significantly impacting global morbidity and mortality.

Creatine monohydrate supplementation (CrM) is a safe and effective intervention for improving certain aspects of sport, exercise performance, and health across the lifespan. Despite its evidence-based pedigree, several questions and misconceptions about CrM remain. To initially address some of these concerns, our group published a narrative review in 2021 discussing the scientific evidence as to whether CrM leads to water retention and fat accumulation, is a steroid, causes hair loss, dehydration or muscle cramping, adversely affects renal and liver function, and if CrM is safe and/or effective for children, adolescents, biological females, and older adults.

Objective: This study investigates the factors influencing sedentary behavior in older adult Chinese stroke patients using decision trees and logistic regression models.
Methods: Convenience sampling method was employed to enroll 346 respondents aged ≥60 years with stroke from the Department of Neurology of three tertiary-level A hospitals in Heilongjiang province, based on the inclusion criteria. The Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire for Older Adults, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-S), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the Social Support Scale (SSRS) were used to assess sedentary behavior, physical activity level, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and social support, respectively.
