However, normative values for adults aged 60 + years are − 1.75 cm for men and + 3.25 cm for women [35]. Mean post-test scores in our cohort (+ 0.6 to + 0.7 cm) were better than normative values for men but worse than normative values for women. Similarly, for ...
A post-exercise sauna bathing protocol may elicit different acute and/or adaptive responses in females compared to males for a number of reasons. Acutely, females have been observed to exhibit a higher heart rate despite a similar rise in (sublingual) temperature to males during 30-min dry saun...
ranged from −2 to +59% (−0.4 to +13.6 cm2). The mean change in 1 repetition maximum for men and women was 39.8% and 64.1% respectively, with strength gains ranging from 0 to 250% (0 to +10.2 kg). This variance of exercise response has been observed in a multitude of ...
Small for gestational age was defined as birth weight below the 10th centile for gestational age, and controls as normal birth weight. Exclusion criteria were neonatal macrosomia, twins, congenital malformation, genetic syndromes, major mental disorder, professional sport practice (men and women in ...
Q: Is exercise just as effective for depression as Zoloft? Is this real? A: It’s real all right. The study, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, comes from Duke University. Professor of medical psychology, Dr. James Blumenthal led the research.153 women and 49 men, suffering ...
(Si), was also significantly lower in older vs. young individuals when expressed per kg body weight (O: 0.050 (0.028) µmol kgBW−1 min−1vs. Y: 0.073 (0.024) µmol kgBW−1 min−1,p = 0.014). This difference was largely retained when Siwas corrected for ...
Few have clarified what exercise frequencies and patterns (e.g. alone or with others) are effective for preventing depression in older adults. 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 ...

Objective To assess the effectiveness of an aerobic exercise program compared with standard medication (ie, antidepressants) for treatment of MDD in older patients, we conducted a 16-week randomized controlled trial. Methods One hundred fifty-six men and women with MDD (age, ≥50 years) were ass...
In these individuals, treadmill exercise revealed a drasti- cally slowed HR increase at the onset of exercise (HR increased only after the first 60-90 s) as well as a slowed decrease at the end of exercise (HR did not begin to slow for 1-2 min after exercise stopped). Moreover, ...
