AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how muscle-strengthening activities relate to both total alcohol consumption (AC) and binge drinking (BD) among 1,623 college students at a U.S. university.
- Through self-reported surveys, researchers analyzed the connections between physical activity, socio-demographic factors, and alcohol habits using hierarchical regression models.
- The findings revealed that increased muscle-strengthening activity correlated with higher alcohol consumption and binge drinking, indicating that incorporating this type of physical activity is important when assessing overall alcohol use among students.
Article Abstract
To examine the association of muscle-strengthening activity with total alcohol consumption (AC) and binge drinking (BD). College students ( = 1623) from a large United States university. Students self-reported their physical activity (PA), AC, and socio-demographic characteristics an online survey. Hierarchical regression models were computed to examine the association of aerobic PA, and muscle-strengthening activity with total AC and BD. After adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and aerobic PA, muscle-strengthening activity and achieving muscle strengthening activity recommendations explained a significant proportion of unique variance in total AC (β = .16, < .001 and β = .16, < .001, respectively). Similarly, with each additional day of muscle-strengthening activity the odds of reporting BD were 20.9% higher, and individuals who met muscle-strengthening activity recommendations had 93.2% higher odds of reporting BD. Muscle-strengthening activity should be accounted for when examining the relationship between PA and AC.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) uses electrical impulses to induce muscle contractions, providing benefits in rehabilitation, muscle activation, and as an adjunct to exercise, particularly for individuals experiencing immobilization or physical disability. NMES technology has significantly progressed, with advancements in device development and a deeper understanding of treatment parameters, such as frequency, intensity, and pulse duration. These improvements have expanded NMES applications beyond rehabilitation to include enhanced post-exercise recovery, improved blood glucose uptake, and increased lower limb venous return, potentially reducing thrombotic risks.

Background: With adolescent obesity rates steadily rising, it has become crucial to identify modifiable risk factors to develop effective interventions. This study explores the associations between physical activity (PA) levels, smartphone usage, and obesity risk among Korean adolescents, aiming to inform the design of targeted health promotion programs to mitigate obesity rates in this demographic.
Methods: This cross-sectional analysis used data from 50,407 Korean adolescents who participated in the 2021 Adolescent Health Behavior Online Survey.

Introduction: Little is known about the recency, correlates, and content of health care provider (HCP) counseling about physical activity (PA) among adults with arthritis.
Methods: We analyzed data from the Porter Novelli FallStyles cross-sectional survey of noninstitutionalized US adults. Among adults with arthritis, we assessed the recency of HCP counseling about PA; counseling content, including PA assessment/screening and advice/counseling; and recommendations.
