The day-to-day reliability of residual force enhancement during voluntary and electrically stimulated contractions
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Residual force enhancement (rFE) is characterized by increased steady-state isometric force following active muscle lengthening compared with a fixed-end isometric contraction at the same muscle length and level of neuromuscular activation. Many studies have characterized rFE in humans; however, the day-to-day reliability of rFE is unclear. We aimed to examine day-to-day reliability of rFE across various contraction types in the dorsiflexors in males and females. Twenty-five recreationally active young adults completed two visits, 1 week apart. Following determ...

Post-exercise endothelial function is not associated with extracellular vesicle release in healthy young males
This study aims to compare the time course of endothelial responses to moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) and high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and the associations with EV release. Eighteen young healthy males (age: 22.6  ± 3.7 years, BMI: 25.6 ± 2.5 m2/kg, and VO2peak: 38.6 ± 6.5 mL/kg/min) completed two randomly assigned exercises: HIIE (10 × 1 min-@-90% heart rate reserve (HRR) and 1 min passive recovery) and MICE (30 min-@-70% HRR) on a cycle ergometer. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was used to as sess endothelial function and blood samples were collected to evaluate endothelial cell-de...

Smartwatch-based bioimpedance analysis for body composition estimation: precision and agreement with a 4-compartment model
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Given that the prevalence of smartwatches has allowed them to become a hallmark in health monitoring, they are primed to provide accessible body composition estimations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the precision and agreement of smartwatch-based bioimpedance analysis (SW-BIA) and multifrequency bioimpedance analysis (MFBIA) against a 4-compartment (4C) model criterion. A total of 186 participants (114  females) underwent body composition assessments necessary for a 4C model and SW-BIA and MFBIA. Values of total body water (TBW) from each device w...

Clusters of lifestyle behaviors associated with atherosclerosis risk factors in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease: Floripa CHild Study
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Secondary cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients. The cardiovascular risk could be widely prevented with adherence to a healthy lifestyle; however, clusters of lifestyle behaviors related to atherosclerosis risk factors in children and adolescents with CHD remain unclear. We aimed to describe the clusters of lifestyle behaviors of children and adolescents with CHD and to evaluate their association with atherosclerosis risk factors. We conducted a cross-sectional study on 227 children and adolescents with...

We want more! Examining the perceived training and information needs of health and fitness practitioners about disability and physical activity
This study aimed to identify perceived training needs of health and fitness practitioners to support PA for PWPDs. Canadian health and fitness practitioners (n  = 115; 81% female) completed an online survey. More specialized training and access to information about PA for PWPDs are needed. In-person training, webinars, and lived experiences of PWPDs are recommended. (Source: Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism)

Efficacy of aerobic exercise following concussion: a narrative review
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury which results in symptoms within the physical, cognitive, emotional, and sleep domains. Historically, guidelines established by expert opinion have recommended rest during the initial stages of recovery following a concussion until symptom resolution. However, recent recommendations have shifted to advise an initial period of 24 –48 h of rest immediately following concussion with the gradual introduction of light-to-moderate intensity aerobic exercise thereafter. Given the relatively recent transition in rec...

Impact of acute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on circulating extracellular vesicles in pregnant and non-pregnant women
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Exercise improves cardiovascular and metabolic health in pregnancy and may represent a non-pharmacological approach to improving pregnancy outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction and offer the potential for evaluating vascular health non-invasively during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in circulating EV levels after an acute bout of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in healthy pregnant and non-pregnant women. We studied plasma samples from pregnant (N  = 13, 13–28 weeks) an...

Revisiting survival at sea from a nutrition and food perspective: rationalizing the rations
This study examines the design of food rations for survival at sea required by the International Maritime Organization through the Life Saving Appliances (LSA) Code, as implemented by Transport Canada. Energy demand and body fat reserves were estimated for the Canadian population based on demographic and anthropometric data. It was determined that caloric content of food rations could be drastically decreased without potential harm to survivors of a marine abandonment. Coupled with ration reformulation, such decrease could be an opportunity to extend safe survival conditions to up to 5 days versus 2 days as currently provi...

Fast food consumption in adults living in Canada: alternative measurement methods, consumption choices, and correlates
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Global industries and technological advancements have contributed to the proliferation of fast food (FF) establishments and ultraprocessed food, associated with poorer diet quality and health outcomes. To investigate FF as an indicator, we compared alternative methods to capture self-reported FF consumption and examined associated socio-demographic factors. We conducted a secondary analysis of the 2014 –2015 Foodbook study, a cross-sectional survey on foods consumed by Canadians during the previous week. An embedded randomized design compared alternative FF i...

Test –retest repeatability of electrically evoked isotonic power and isometric torque in the plantar flexors
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Electrically evoked isometric torque has good to excellent repeatability, but the degree of repeatability for electrically evoked isotonic power is unknown. We evaluated the test –retest repeatability of plantar flexion isometric torque and isotonic power evoked using brief tetanic trains at 10 and 50 Hz. Both torque and power had excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient >0.9) repeatability at low and high frequencies. Similar to isometric torque, electrically evoked isotonic power is a stable measure for studying dynamic muscle function. (Source: ...

A systematic review examining associations between physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep duration with quality of life in older adults aged 65 years and above
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. This systematic review examined the associations between movement behaviours (i.e., physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep duration) and quality of life (QOL) in adults  ≥65 years of age. Four databases were searched in June 2021. Studies were eligible for inclusion if published within the last 20 years, peer-reviewed, examined apparently healthy older adults, and analysed ≥2 movement behaviours together. QOL was represented by the World Health Organization Q uality of Life measure which conceptualizes QOL by distinct domains. Study results wer...
