Walking-friendly built environments and objectively measured physical function in older adults: Urban design and older adults’ physical function
ConclusionsOur findings indicate that environmental attributes of walkability are associated with the physical function of elderly men in the context of Asia. Walking-friendly neighbourhoods can not only promote older adults’ active behaviors but can also support their physical function.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

The mirror's curse: Weight perceptions mediate the link between physical activity and life satisfaction among 727,865 teens in 44 countries
ConclusionThe results suggest that weight perception explains part of the relationship between physical activity and life satisfaction in adolescents and that these effects vary as a function of age and sex.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

Muscular activity patterns in one-legged vs. two-legged pedaling
ConclusionThe observed changes in muscle activities are due to a variety of changes in mechanical aspects of the pedaling motion when pedaling with only 1 leg, including altered crank torque patterns without the contralateral leg, reduced pelvis stability, and increased knee and ankle stiffness during the upstroke.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

Effects of medium- and long-distance running on heart-damage markers in amateur runners: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and metaregression
ConclusionEndurance running races induce the release of cardiac-damage markers that remain elevated for at least 24 h after the race. In addition, young male athletes with high body mass indexes who perform races combining long duration and moderate intensity (i.e., marathons) release the highest levels of cardiac damage markers. Physicians should take into consideration these results in the diagnosis and treatment of patients admitted to the hospital days after finishing endurance running races.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

The role of mitochondria in redox signaling of muscle homeostasis
Publication date: Available online 11 January 2020Source: Journal of Sport and Health ScienceAuthor(s): Li Li Ji, Dongwook Yeo, Chounghun Kang, Tianou ZhangAbstractIn the past, contraction-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in oxidative stress to skeletal muscle. As research advances, clear evidence has revealed a more complete role of ROS under both physiological and pathological conditions. Central to the role of ROS is the redox signaling pathways that control exercise-induced major physiological and cellular responses and adaptations, such as mitochondrial biogenesis, mitophagy, mit...

Impacts of exercise interventions on different diseases and organ functions in mice
ConclusionOur review strongly suggests that exercise intervention is a cornerstone in disease prevention and treatment in mice. Because exercise interventions in humans typically focus on chronic diseases, national fitness, and body weight loss, and typically have low intervention compliance rates, it is important to use mice models to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the health benefits from exercise interventions in humans.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Sport and Health Science)

Exercise immunology: Future directions
Publication date: Available online 30 December 2019Source: Journal of Sport and Health ScienceAuthor(s): David C. Nieman, Brandt D. PenceAbstractSeveral decades of research in the area of exercise immunology have shown that the immune system is highly responsive to acute and chronic exercise training. Moderate exercise bouts enhance immunosurveillance and when repeated over time mediate multiple health benefits. Most of the studies prior to 2010 relied on a few targeted outcomes related to immune function. During the past decade, technological advances have created opportunities for a multi-omics and systems biology approa...
