In one study of more than 200 men & women aged 56 to 87, "dramatic changes" were observed after just 6 weeks of exercising 3 to 5 times a week. Study participants became as fit and energetic as people 20 to 30 years younger.
Exclusion criteria were neonatal macrosomia, twins, congenital malformation, genetic syndromes, major mental disorder, professional sport practice (men and women in amateur sports were only included if they had not participated in any official competition in the last 2 years), or current pregnancy. ...
Exercise is good for health and longevity, but information on women is scarce. Women generally live longer than men, so dedicated studies are needed. This study examined exercise capacity andheart functionduring exercise in women and their links with survival. The study included 4,714adult womenre...
After completion of the baseline measurements, participants living within a 50 kilometre radius to one of the rehabilitation centres are randomly assigned to either an aerobic exercise program in a rehabilitation centre or a flexibility and relaxation program in a rehabilitation centre. Both programs ...
While depression occurs in all age groups, its prevalence is notably higher in women during and after perimenopause [6, 7]. A large meta-analysis showed that the global prevalence of depression was 33.9% in perimenopausal women and 34.9% in postmenopausal women [8]. This increase is often ...
We examined the relationship between total frequency and/or pattern of exercise and the risk of depression after two years in older Japanese adults. We used a sub-sample of the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) performed in 2011 and 2013. The sample for analysis was 1,422 adults ...
