Purpose: To systematically review the effects of exercise interventions on pain, fatigue, quality of life, disease activity, aerobic capacity, and dryness in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), and to determine the most effective type of exercise.
Materials And Methods: A literature search was conducted using Web of Science, PubMed/MEDLINE, ProQuest, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, and PEDro databases. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) examining the effects of exercise interventions in patients with pSS were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Risk of Bias version-2 tool and PEDro scale.
Results: Five RCTs, including 269 female patients with pSS were analyzed. High-quality studies indicated that exercise interventions significantly improved pain ( = 0.008), fatigue ( < 0.00001), quality of life ( = 0.0003), and aerobic capacity ( = 0.009) compared to controls. Sensitivity analysis indicated that resistance exercise was particularly effective, significantly improving pain ( < 0.00001), fatigue ( < 0.00001), quality of life ( < 0.00001), and disease activity ( = 0.02).
Conclusion: Exercise interventions may offer significant benefits in reducing pain and fatigue, as well as improving quality of life and aerobic capacity, in patients with pSS compared to no-treatment. Resistance exercise appears to be more effective than other exercise models.

Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Treatments for this disease often result in side effects such as pain, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and reduced quality of life. Physical exercise has been shown to effectively mitigate these side effects and improve the quality of life in patients with breast cancer.

Context: Sarcopenia is a disease characterized by low muscle mass and function that places individuals at greater risk of disability, loss of independence, and death. Current therapies include addressing underlying performance issues, resistance training, and/or nutritional strategies. However, these approaches have significant limitations, and chronic inflammation associated with sarcopenia may blunt the anabolic response to exercise and nutrition.

Frailty, a biologic syndrome of decreased reserve and resistance to stressors, affects 5 % to 17 % of older adults and is linked to factors like low BMI, female sex, and low exercise levels. With India's older population expected to double by 2050, frailty presents major public health and economic challenges. This study summarizes the prevalence of frailty among community-dwelling Indians.
