Neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) and exercise performance are affected by intensity sex differences. However, whether slight changes in power output (PO) below above the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) impact NMF subsequent (time to task failure, TTF) is unknown. This study compared TTF females males response performed at MLSS, 10 W (MLSS-10) (MLSS+10).

Abstract Objective This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of different exercise modalities and determine optimal prescription for improving cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, metabolic health women with obesity. Methods A systematic review randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between January 1988 October 2020 was conducted. The RCTs were screened using following inclusion criteria: 1) participants: aged 18 65 years BMI > 30 kg/m 2 without comorbidities; 2) intervention: exercise; 3) comparison: non‐intervention control; 4) outcomes measures: fitness (maximal oxygen consumption), composition (i.e., weight, percentage fat), and/or measures blood pressure, cholesterol). Results total 20 a 2,062 participants included. Although results showed that any form more effective than control, improvements in modest. Aerobic (vigorous moderate intensity) appeared most promising whereas low‐load resistance training resulted largest fatness. Conclusions In living obesity, aerobic consistently composition. both combined interventions appear promising, research is needed evaluate their efficacy an this population.

Cancer cachexia (CC) is a multifactorial syndrome characterised by unintentional loss of body weight and muscle mass in patients with cancer. The major hallmarks associated CC development progression include imbalanced protein turnover, inflammatory signalling, mitochondrial dysfunction satellite cell dysregulation. So far, there no effective treatment to counteract wasting CC. Exercise training has been proposed as potential therapeutic approach for This review provides an overview the effects exercise CC-related mechanisms well how factors such cancer comorbidities, modality biological sex can influence effectiveness Evidence mice humans suggests combats all Several modalities induce beneficial adaptations patients/animals CC, but concurrent resistance endurance considered optimal type exercise. In case presenting should be performed only under specific guidelines precautions avoid adverse effects. Observational comparison studies using different shows exercise-induced are similar between male female cancer, further needed confirm this.
