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 ...
The rate of decline in VO2peak accelerates in older age from 3%-6% per decade in the 20s to 30s to >20% per decade after the age of 70 years (16). Age-related declines in strength and balance exacerbate decrements in VO2peak caused by alterations in skeletal muscle, including atrophy...
The research presented here investigates the interaction between acute exercise, biological sex and risk-taking behavior. The study involved 20 amateur athletes (19-33 years old), 10 males and 10 females, who were asked to undergo subsequent experimental sessions designed to compare their risky behav...
On the other hand, aerobic exercise increased MPS rate to a lesser degree (<50%) both acutely and chronically after training in young and old adults (Carraro et al., 1990, Pikosky et al., 2006, Sheffield-Moore et al., 2004, Short et al., 2004), and thus, the ∼28% increase ...

After 12 weeks of intervention, Tai Chi, but not conventional exercise, provoked a clinically relevant improvement in global cognitive function (i.e., a minimum increase in the score of MoCA-HK by 4 points compared to baseline33,34,35). Both exercise groups exhibited significantly larger ...
Recent studies have indicated that an estimated 30% of older community adults over 65 years old suffer from intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), as determined by magnetic resonance angiography20, and that more than 90% of individuals with ICAS have at least one vascular risk factor of ...
