Physical inactivity is main cause of disease worldwide. Identify the physical exercise preference, resulting in increases adherence and future intention to perform physical activity. The preference of the intensity of exercise questionnaire (PRETIE-Q) is the main tool used to assess preference in physical exercise. Variables as age, body mass index (BMI), usual physical activity level (PAL), maximal oxygen uptake (VO2máx), can influence in PRETIE-Q answers. The purpose of this study was investigate if there is relation between preference for exercise intensity with maximal aerobic speed (MAS), PAL and heart rate variability (HRV) in postmenopausal women phase. Participated of study 30 subjects who answer PRETIE-Q together with analyses of MAS, PAL and HRV. Preference was large correlated with MAS (r = 0.63), PAL (r = 0.57) and HRVRMSSD (r = 0.52). Together, MAS (40.4%), PAL (10.7%) and HRVRMSSD (6.4%) explained 57.5% of the preference score. This results study allow to health professional, that prescribe physical exercise, understand that subjects with high aerobic capacity, cardiovagal modulation and usual PAL will have preference for high intensity exercise. In consequence, can increase the adherence to systematic practice of physical exercise. Conclude that preference of exercise intensity for women in postmenopausal phase is related with aerobic capacity, high HRV and physical activity level.

BACKGROUND Physical activity ameliorates chronic stress. Latest research suggests a relation between resilience and physical fitness. Beneficial adaptations of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the sympathetic nervous system, the endocannabinoid system, and the tryptophan pathway, induced by an active lifestyle, are considered to be resilience conducive. However, detailed knowledge on the molecular link between the effects of acute and chronic physical exercise and an improved resilience is missing. OBJECTIVE Therefore, we implement a human exercise intervention trial addressing the main hypotheses: (1) web-based exercise training improves aerobic capacity of physically inactive adults, which (2) is accompanied by improved resilience. In this setting, we will analyze the relation of resilience parameters with innate and acquired aerobic capacity as well as circulating signaling molecules. METHODS 70 healthy physically inactive (<150min/week physical activity) adults (18-45y) will be randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group receive weekly training utilizing progressive endurance and interval running individually adapted to their training performance via web-based physician support. A standardized incremental treadmill exercise test is performed before and after the intervention period of eight weeks to determine innate and acquired aerobic capacity. Before and after the intervention psychological tests and questionnaires that characterize parameters implicated in resilience (including impulse control, working memory, stress coping, emotion regulation) will be applied. Blood, and saliva will be sampled for analysis of lactate, cortisol, endocannabinoids, catecholamines, kynurenic acid, cell-free DNA and further circulating signal transducers. Statistical analysis will provide comprehensive knowledge on the relation of aerobic capacity and resilience, and furthermore, the capacity of peripheral factors to mediate the promoting effects of exercise on resilience. RESULTS The study was registered in October 2019. Enrollment began in September 2019. Out of 161 subjects, who were initially screened via telefon survey, 43 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included. Among the 17 participants in the intervention group, and 14 participants in the control group, who completed the study (total 31), no serious adverse event has been reported. Four participants withdrew during the programm (individual reasons), and 8 participants have not yet completed or begun the program due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Enrollment and data analysis are ongoing, and results are expected to be submitted for publication in October 2021. CONCLUSIONS Our study aims to demonstrate that an increase in physical activity with a simultaneous improvement in aerobic capacity is associated with an increase in resilience. This study design allows to investigate the effect of an active lifestyle on circulating molecular marker levels and their relationship to resilience factors. This will offer novel approaches for the diagnosis of depression and the therapy by exercise prescription. CLINICALTRIAL DRKS00018078, registered October 02, 2019, German Clinical Trials Register.

El nivel de condición física es un marcador de salud para las personas mayores. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar y comparar la efectividad de un programa de ejercicio físico, administrado de forma presencial y dirigido versus la prescripción a través de una aplicación móvil. Veintitrés participantes de 55 a73 años fueron incluidos en la intervención de 10 semanas de duración. Los participantes fueron distribuidos en un grupo presencial (n=16) y en un grupo móvil (n=7). El grupo presencial recibió 20 sesiones (70-80 minutos de duración) a razón de dos semanales de actividad física centrada en ejercicio aeróbico y resistencia muscular, el grupo móvil recibió el mismo programa pero los contenidos fueron prescritos a través de una aplicación móvil. Presión arterial media, sistólica, diastólica, frecuencia cardiaca en reposo, porcentaje de masa muscular y grasa corporal, perímetro de cintura, equilibrio, fuerza y capacidad aeróbica fueron evaluados antes y después de la intervención. El grupo presencial obtuvo mejoras en la presión arterial media, sistólica y diastólica, en la frecuencia cardiaca después del test y en la capacidad aeróbica (p< .001, p< .001, p=.001, p=.003, p=.004, respectivamente). No se observaron diferencias significativas en ninguna de las variables en el grupo móvil. Los resultados sugieren que el ejercicio dirigido es más efectivo en las variables analizadas que el prescrito mediante la aplicación móvil. Futuros estudios que impliquen muestras de mayor tamaño deben confirmar o refutar estos resultados.Abstrac. Physical fitness level is a health marker in elderly people. The aim of our study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a physical exercise intervention, delivered face-to-face versus prescription through a mobile application. Twenty three participants (55-73 years old) were included in the 10-week intervention. Participants were allocated to the training group (n=16) or mobile group (n=7). The training group received 20 sessions (70-80 minutes per day) of physical exercise and were assigned to aerobic and resistance training (two sessions/per week). Intervention content was the same in the mobile group; only the delivery mode differed by means of a mobile application. We measured mean arterial pressure, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, percentage of muscle mass and body fat, balance, waist circumference, strength and aerobic capacity before and after 10 weeks of exercise intervention. The training group obtained improvements in mean arterial pressure, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate after exercise and aerobic capacity (p< .001, p< .001, p=.001, p=.003, p=.004, respectively). There were no significant changes in the mobile group. The results suggest that face-to-face exercise is more effective than prescribed using mobile applications. Future studies involving larger sample sizes should confirm or refute these findings.

Background: Currently, chronic pain is a disabling condition that is difficult to manage, which generates a high burden on health systems. The objective is to determine the effects of aerobic physical exercise in adults with chronic pain. Methods: A systematic review of searches in databases including MEDLINE, LILACS, ScienceDirect, PEDro, OTseeker, The Cochrane Library, EBSCO, and Google Scholar was conducted. The search process was carried out until July 31, 2020, and the study selection process was independently carried out through a criteria analysis for each phase. Outcome measures were chosen: aerobic capacity, physical function, quality of life, and pain. Results: Twenty-seven studies were included in which aerobic exercise was considered as an option to treat chronic pain. These studies showed significant results compared with other treatment options in terms of pain measurements (−0.22 [−0.42 to −0.03]) and aerobic capacity. For quality of life, there were significant improvements in the physical function component over the mental health component evaluated with the short form health survey-36/12. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise is a nonpharmacological therapeutic option for treatment. Also, aerobic capacity and endurance improved when this type of exercise was prescribed, thus resulting in a substantial improvement in the quality of life of people suffering from chronic pain.

Abstract Obesity is critically associated with the development of insulin resistance and related cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Several strategies for weight loss have been developed but most of them exhibit a post-intervention rebound effect. Here, we aimed to design combined weight-loss strategies of caloric restriction, physical exercise, and administration of a food-intake inhibitor that also accomplish the objectives of post-intervention lost-weight maintenance and improvement of cardiovascular and renal functionality. Diet-induced obesity (DIO) was generated in Sprague Dawley rats for 12 weeks to test the effects of single or combined strategies (i.e. caloric restriction, mixed training protocol, and/or administration of appetite suppressant) on caloric intake, body weight, cardiovascular and renal functionality resulting from a weight-loss intervention period of 3 weeks followed by 6 weeks of weight maintenance. Consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) caused a significant increase in body weight (5th week of the experimental period) and led to the development of insulin resistance, cardiovascular, and renal alterations. The different interventions tested, resulted in a significant body weight loss and improved glucose metabolism, aerobic capacity, electrocardiographic parameters, vascular expression of adhesion molecules and inflammatory mediators, and renal functionality, reaching values similar to the control normocaloric group or even improving them. Successful maintenance of lost weight was achieved along a 6-week post-intervention period in addition to adequate health status. In conclusion, the weight-loss and maintenance intervention strategies tested were efficient at reversing the obesity-related alterations in body weight, glucose metabolism, aerobic capacity, cardiovascular and renal functionality. The beneficial action was very consistent for caloric restriction and physical exercise, whereas administration of a food-intake inhibitor complemented the effects of the prior interventions in some parameters like body weight or aerobic capacity, and showed specific actions in renal metabolism.

Reverse Correlation

The quality of fitness (aerobic capacity, maximal endurance performance or highly related physiological parameters) or physical activity improving fitness show a tight, reverse correlation to the all-cause and to the cardiovascular mortality within. The most fit one third of the population expect a 30–40 percent smaller chance for cardiovascular events, compared to the less fit third quarter. Low fitness (that can be changed) is just as a threatening risk factor as the traditional ones, its detection calls out for simple interventions to improve fitness: proper physical exercise. Orv.
