Effect of exercise based on ACSM recommendations on blood pressure and heart rate in hypertensive patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the positive effects of exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment for hypertensive patients. However, there was a relative lack of research analyzing the effects of different exercise doses on hypertensive individuals. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of different exercise doses on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in hypertensive patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The effect of sports participation on the social identity of Chinese university students.

Objective: Strengthening youth sports and comprehensively promoting the participation of Chinese university students in sports to enhance their social acceptance are key initiatives for delivering high-quality talent for China's economic and social development.

Methods: Using the China Comprehensive Social Survey as the data source and considering social mentality and social identity, we constructed corresponding statistical models to explore how sports participation influences the social identity (class identity, economic status, and emotional belonging) of Chinese university students.

Results: Regarded from a holistic perspective, sports participation can enhance the social identity of college students in all its aspects, and the benefits of sports participation are positively related to its frequency.

Brain structure and function differences across varying levels of endurance training: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Although previous studies have shown that athletes engaged in endurance sports exhibit unique characteristics of brain plasticity, there has been no systematic investigation into the structural and functional brain characteristics of endurance athletes with varying training levels.

Methods: Utilizing the "expert-novice paradigm" design, we employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to obtain images of brain structure and functional activity. We compared differences in gray matter volume (GMV), fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF), and degree centrality (DC) among high-level endurance athletes, moderate-level endurance athletes, and non-athlete controls.

Our aim was to identify the exercise modalities most conducive to enhancing these essential skills.

Methods: We searched Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, and searched Chinese databases from inception to April 2024.

Running, walking, and cross-country skiing: how to shape adolescents' personalities through physical activity?

Adolescence is crucial for personality development, and sports play a significant role. This study investigates the impact of various sports on the personality traits of junior high and high school students in Shandong Province, focusing on neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Utilizing data from the "Database of Youth Health," we employed Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) and Generalized Structural Equation Modeling (GSEM) to analyze the effects of physical activity on personality development.

Integration of Machine Learning and Experimental Validation to Identify Anoikis-Related Prognostic Signature for Predicting the Breast Cancer Tumor Microenvironment and Treatment Response.

Anoikis-related genes (ANRGs) are crucial in the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer (BC). The underlying role of ANRGs in the prognosis of breast cancer patients warrants further study. The anoikis-related prognostic signature (ANRS) was generated using a variety of machine learning methods, and the correlation between the ANRS and the tumor microenvironment (TME), drug sensitivity, and immunotherapy was investigated.

Synergistic Effects of Concurrent Aerobic and Strength Training on Fitness in Children and Adolescents: A Multivariate and Network Meta-Analysis.

The decline in fitness levels among children and adolescents underscores the urgent need for effective exercise interventions. Aerobic endurance training (ET) and resistance training (RT) are vital for physical development in this demographic. This study employs multivariate and network meta-analysis (NMA) to assess the impact of concurrent training (CT), which integrates both ET and RT, on youth physical fitness.

The effect of acute hypoxic exercise on the protein kinase A/ arachidonic acid/ transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 pathway in the prefrontal cortex of rats.

Unlabelled: Acute hypoxic exercise will cause insufficient oxygen supply in brain tissue, and a succession of variations such as central dysfunction will occur. For example, the muscles don't have an adequate supply of oxygen, which leads to decrease in exercise capacity (Imray et al., 2005) [1].

Kinematic differences between female national and provincial athletes in the tennis serve.

Background: Tennis, the second-largest ball game in the world, has a particularly wide audience. To date, little research has been conducted on the biomechanics of female serves.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to capture the key moments by using 1,000 frames/s high-speed video analysis, to analyze the kinematics of the serving techniques of national athletes and provincial athletes, to determine the differences between the two levels of athletes, and to provide theoretical references for the improvement of scientific training level.

Atypical prefrontal neural activity during an emotional interference control task in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is typically characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication, which may be associated with a failure to naturally orient to social stimuli, particularly in recognizing and responding to facial emotions. As most previous studies have used nonsocial stimuli to investigate inhibitory control in children and adults with ASD, little is known about the behavioral and neural activation patterns of emotional inhibitory control in adolescent with ASD. Functional neuroimaging studies have underscored the key role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in inhibitory control and emotional face processing.

Evaluating the effectiveness of quantitative pupillometry in assessing dynamic aerobic training intensity.

Sports injuries often arise from improper scheduling of exercise loads, and timely assessment of these loads is essential for minimizing injury risk. This article investigates the validity of using changes in pupillary light reflex (PLR) during dynamic aerobic training as a novel approach to evaluating exercise load. Dynamic aerobic training was conducted on a power bicycle for 15 min.

The Short- and Long-Term Perceptual Learning of Clinical Dynamic Visual Acuity Test.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the short- and long-term learning effect of dynamic visual acuity (DVA) tests.

Methods: Participants between 18 and 30 years with corrected to normal visual acuity were enrolled in this study. Three repeated sessions were performed, with 15 minutes and 15 days' intervals between sessions.
