Exercise interventions significantly increase plasma s-Klotho levels in healthy and diseased populations
Physical Medicine & Rehab Meta-analysis
Exercise interventions significantly increase plasma s-Klotho levels in healthy and diseased populations This Exercise Habit Slows Aging at the Cellular Level
A meta-analysis reveals that various exercise modalities boost s-Klotho levels, offering potential benefits for patients with chronic condit…
A new analysis of 41 studies finds that certain types of exercise can raise levels of a protein linked to slower aging, with resistance trai…
Systematic review finds shockwave therapy offers no consistent benefit for Achilles tendinopathy compared to controls
Physical Medicine & Rehab Meta-analysis
Systematic review finds shockwave therapy offers no consistent benefit for Achilles tendinopathy compared to controls Shockwave Therapy Fails for Achilles Pain Relief
This systematic review with meta-analysis evaluates shockwave therapy (SWT) for insertional and midportion Achilles tendinopathy in adults.
A major review finds shockwave therapy doesn't meaningfully ease pain or improve movement for people with stubborn Achilles tendon pain, rai…
Total hip arthroplasty with rehabilitation improves WOMAC and HHS scores versus conservative exercise in hip osteoarthritis
Physical Medicine & Rehab RCT
Total hip arthroplasty with rehabilitation improves WOMAC and HHS scores versus conservative exercise in hip osteoarthritis Hip replacement beats exercise for severe hip arthritis
This single-centre randomized controlled trial enrolled 120 patients with moderate-to-severe hip osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grades 2 …
A new trial finds hip replacement plus rehab dramatically outperforms exercise alone for moderate-to-severe hip osteoarthritis.
Cluster resistance training yields better affective responses than traditional protocols in young adults
Physical Medicine & Rehab RCT
Cluster resistance training yields better affective responses than traditional protocols in young adults Cluster Sets Boost Enjoyment and Lower Perceived Effort
This randomized crossover study compared cluster and traditional resistance training protocols in resistance-trained young adults.
Cluster-style resistance training keeps mood stable and feels easier than traditional sets, a small study finds.
Blood flow restriction during heat acclimation reduces force loss in trained adults
Physical Medicine & Rehab RCT
Blood flow restriction during heat acclimation reduces force loss in trained adults Blood flow restriction boosts heat acclimation benefits
This RCT in 20 trained adults compared heat acclimation with blood flow restriction (BFR) to standard heat acclimation.
Adding blood flow restriction to heat training improved cognition and reduced fatigue more than heat training alone.
Blood flow restriction vs traditional resistance exercise: effects on heart rate variability
Physical Medicine & Rehab RCT
Blood flow restriction vs traditional resistance exercise: effects on heart rate variability Traditional lifting may stress the heart more than blood flow restriction training
This randomized crossover trial in 39 trained adults compared blood flow restriction (BFR) resistance exercise with traditional resistance e…
A study of 39 adults found traditional resistance exercise caused greater drops in heart rate variability than blood flow restriction traini…
Home-Based Core Stability Telerehabilitation Shows Feasibility for Hereditary Ataxia
Physical Medicine & Rehab RCT
Home-Based Core Stability Telerehabilitation Shows Feasibility for Hereditary Ataxia Home-based exercises may help people with hereditary ataxia improve walking and balance confidence
This single-blind pilot RCT tested a home-based core stability exercise telerehabilitation program in 12 individuals with hereditary ataxia.
A small pilot study found that home-based stability exercises improved walking and balance confidence for people with hereditary ataxia, tho…
Unsupervised remote brain endurance training plus exercise improved muscular endurance performance more than standard exercise in 22 recreational athletes
Physical Medicine & Rehab RCT
Unsupervised remote brain endurance training plus exercise improved muscular endurance performance more than standard exercise in 22 recreational athletes Adding brain work to home workouts boosts strength gains for athletes
This randomized controlled trial enrolled 22 recreational athletes.
Adding mental challenges to your home workout routine could help you lift heavier weights and feel less tired during exercise
Umbrella review shows strong evidence for Tai Chi and aerobic exercise benefits in cardiometabolic risk factors
Physical Medicine & Rehab Meta-analysis
Umbrella review shows strong evidence for Tai Chi and aerobic exercise benefits in cardiometabolic risk factors Tai Chi lowers blood pressure and waist size in adults with heart risks
This umbrella review synthesizes 16 meta-analysis publications regarding aerobic exercise, Tai Chi, HIIT, resistance training, Yoga, and Qig…
Tai Chi training helps lower blood pressure and waist size in adults with heart risks, while other exercise types show uncertain benefits.
Meta-analysis finds home-based exercise improves VO2 peak in CVD and healthy adults
Physical Medicine & Rehab Meta-analysis
Meta-analysis finds home-based exercise improves VO2 peak in CVD and healthy adults Home Exercise Boosts Heart Health in People With and Without Cardiovascular Disease
This systematic review with meta-analysis assessed unsupervised home-based exercise programmes in healthy sedentary individuals and patients…
A meta-analysis shows unsupervised home exercise improves peak oxygen uptake in both healthy people and those with cardiovascular disease.
Cluster set resistance exercise preserves barbell velocity better than traditional sets in strength-trained individuals
Physical Medicine & Rehab RCT
Cluster set resistance exercise preserves barbell velocity better than traditional sets in strength-trained individuals Cluster sets may preserve barbell velocity better than traditional sets in strength-trained people
This randomized crossover trial involved six strength-trained individuals comparing cluster set versus traditional set resistance exercise.
A small trial found cluster sets preserved barbell velocity better than traditional sets in strength-trained individuals.
