This review highlighted resistance training as an important training type for the brain. Most studies that use physical exercise for the prevention or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases have focused on aerobic physical exercise, revealing different behavioral, biochemical, and molecular effects. However, recent studies have shown that resistance training can also significantly contribute to the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases as well as to the maintenance, development, and recovery of brain activities through specific neurochemical adaptations induced by the training. In this scenario we observed the results of several studies published in different journals in the last 20 years, focusing on the effects of resistance training on three main neurological aspects: Neuroprotective mechanisms, oxidative stress, and cognition. Systematic database searches of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Medline were performed to identify peer-reviewed studies from the 2000s. Combinations of keywords related to brain disease, aerobic/resistance, or strength physical exercise were used. Other variables were not addressed in this review but should be considered for a complete understanding of the effects of training in the brain.

Association rule of data mining is known to encompass a wide set of intelligent techniques that intent to unveil and analyze correlations and associations between items in a set. Market basket analysis is one such, possibly the most popular technique in business domain that is used to analyze combinations of items that often are listed together in various transactions. In this paper, the author strives to expand applicability of the same concept to human health under purview of health informatics. The present growing rate of obesity has raised alarming concept to the communities globally. It entails several chronic diseases that may be fatal eventually. This work aims to aid in the ongoing efforts to alleviate the obesity, primarily caused by lack of physical exercise. Concept of association rule of data mining may help regulating mild exercise by associating it with a daily activity, sleeping at night. Mild but regular short exercise just before sleep may help ameliorating individual's health.

Resistance Training Program

As aging continues to grow in our society, sarcopenia and associated fall risk is considered a public health problem since falling is the third cause of chronic disability. Falls are negatively related to functionality and independence and positively associated with morbidity and mortality. The cost of treatment of secondary injuries related to falls is high. For example, one in ten fall incidents leads to bone fractures and several other comorbidities. As demonstrated by several experimental studies, adopting a more active lifestyle is critical for reducing the number of fall episodes and their consequences. Therefore, it is essential to debate the proven physical exercise methods to reduce falls and fall-related effects. Since muscle mass, muscle strength, bone density, and cartilage function may play significant roles in daily activities, resistance training may positively and significantly affect the elderly. This narrative review aimed to examine current evidence on existing resistance training using resistance machines and bodyweight or low-cost equipment for the elderly and how they are related to falls and fall-related consequences. We provide theoretical links between aging, sarcopenia, and falls linking to resistance training and offer practical suggestions to exercise professionals seeking to promote regular physical exercise to promote quality of life in this population. Exercise programs focusing on strength may significantly influence muscle mass and muscle strength, minimizing functional decline and risk of falling. Resistance training programs should be customized to each elderly according to age, sex, and other fundamental and individual aspects. This narrative review provides evidence to support recommendations for practical resistance training in the elderly related to intensity and volume. A properly designed resistance training program with adequate instructions and technique is safe for the elderly. It should include an individualized approach based on existing equipment (i.e., body weight, resistance machines). Existing literature shows that exercise performance towards 2–3 sets of 1–2 exercises per major muscle group, performing 5–8 repetitions or achieving intensities of 50–80% of 1RM, 2–3 times per week should be recommended, followed by training principles such as periodization and progression. Bearing this in mind, health and exercise professionals should combine efforts focusing on efficient strategies to reduce falls among the elderly and promote higher experiences of well-being at advanced stages in life.

The cardiac plexus is a vast network of neurons grouped into ganglia distributed throughout the myocardium. The epicardial adipose tissue covers the heart performing important functions, such as, lipid storage. However, its exaggerated expression might represent a risk factor, which can be prevented by the practice of physical activities that improves the heart contractile propulsive capacity. Insulin has been used in association with physical exercise so as to increase muscle mass and improve physical performance. Both insulin and exercise have been evidenced due to their neurotrophic effects. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether insulin associated with resistance training could structurally modify the cardiac plexus and epicardial adipose tissue. Four groups (n = 6) of male Swiss mice were used: non-trained saline, non-trained insulin; trained saline; trained insulin. The training was performed on a vertical ladder at 90% of the maximum load, 3 times/week for 8 consecutive weeks. After the experimental period, the hearts of the animals were removed, and 5-μm sections were stained with Hematoxylin/Eosin, Giemsa and Picrossirius in order to evaluate the structures of the cardiac plexus. There was no significant difference with regard to the area and the total number of neurons, nor to the area with collagen. However, whereas insulin administration hypertrophied the adipocytes and predisposed an inflammatory environment, physical exercise played an anti-inflammatory role. As a conclusion, it is worth mentioning that resistance training did not change the cardiac plexus, however the epicardial adipose tissue was reduced, an effect antagonized by insulin.

ABSTRACT It has been shown that combined physical exercise is an efficient non-pharmacological approach in the context of public health, since it has demonstrated satisfactory results in the prevention, treatment and control of various morbidities. Therefore, it is essential to systematize current knowledge to enable professionals involved in the prescription of physical exercise to do so based on evidence. Thus, the objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of randomized clinical trials to verify changes in cardiometabolic risk factors induced by high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training (RT) in adolescents. The systematic search was performed in the following databases: Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, LILACS and Scielo. Initially 933 studies were identified, then two researchers eliminated duplications and manuscripts that did not meet the eligibility criteria. Thus, two articles were included that met these criteria: a randomized clinical trial conducted with adolescents (10 to 19 years) of both sexes, an intervention lasting for at least four weeks, which prescribed HIIT and RT in the same session or not, and evaluation of at least one cardiometabolic risk factor. The results demonstrated that eight to 12 weeks of HIIT and RT without nutritional intervention were effective in significantly reducing waist circumference and body fat percentage. However, data pertinent to the efficacy of this combination on risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension are controversial. In view of the above, it is ascertained from the included studies that the combination of HIIT and RT has the potential to reduce cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents; therefore, further studies should be conducted to determine the effectiveness of this prescription of physical exercise. Level of Evidence II; Systematic review of Level II or Level I Studies with discrepant results.
