vPURPOSE: Cardiorespiratory fitness is closely related to cardiovascular and chronic diseases and is an important predictor of mortality. Despite the significance of cardiorespiratory fitness, currently, a lack of research exists that validates the effectiveness of the 6-minute walk test, specifically in the Korean population. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to verify the validity of the 6-minute walk test for Korean older individuals and to develop a maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) prediction equation.METHODS: A total of 167 participants were included in the final analysis, after excluding 33 of the 200 participants. Moreover, VO2max was measured by performing a submaximal exercise test on a treadmill, and the total distance and heart rate were measured using a 6-minute walk test. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated to verify the criterion validity between VO2max and total distance in the 6-minute walk test. To develop a VO2max prediction equation, multiple regression analysis was conducted and cross-validation of the developed prediction equation was confirmed.RESULTS: The correlation coefficient between VO2max and the 6-minute walk test was 0.575 (p<.001). The adjusted R2 of the VO2max prediction equation using the 6-minute walk test was 0.449 (p<.001). The difference between the predicted VO2max and measured VO2max was 1.184±1.331 mL/kg/min, and the correlation coefficient was 0.594 (p<.001).CONCLUSION: The developed prediction equation consisted of explanatory variables that can be measured easily and were practical in the field. As entry into a post-aged society is imminent, managing older adult’s physical fitness has become a significant issue. In the future, if the validity verification is performed with a large number of people, the prediction formula developed in this study will be useful.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the correlations between foot posture features, intrinsic foot muscles (IFMs) thickness, and dynamic postural stability.METHODS: Forty-one male participants were divided into two groups according to quantified foot postures using the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) scores: the neutral foot group (FPI-6 score: 0 to +5) and the pronated foot group (FPI-6 score: >+6). The IFMs thickness was measured using ultrasound images of the flexor digitorum brevis (FDB), flexor hallucis brevis (FHB), and abductor hallucis muscles. To investigate the association between IFMs thickness and dynamic postural stability, the Biodex Balance System (BBS) was used in a single-leg stance position with both the eyes open and closed.RESULTS: In the BBS tests, the pronated foot group demonstrated significant results in the eyes-closed condition (p<.05). In particular, the differences between the eyes open and closed conditions in postural stability indices were significantly greater in the pronated foot group than in the neutral foot group (p<.05). No significant differences in IFMs thickness between the two groups were observed; however, some subdomains of the FPI-6 demonstrated significant positive correlations with postural stability indices and significant negative correlations with IFMs thickness (p<.05). The talonavicular joint was associated with FDB thickness (R=-0.311). Moreover, the forefoot was correlated with FHB thickness (R=-0.327).CONCLUSIONS: The aforementioned results suggest that dynamic postural stability and IFMs thickness are affected by the foot type. Although no significant differences in IFMs thickness were observed, dynamic postural stability and IFMs thickness reduced as the foot displayed features of pronation. This indicates that postural control ability and IFMs are vulnerable to changes in foot posture.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the cardiovascular improvement effect of respiratory muscle exercise and evaluate the possibility of improving and preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) from a long-term perspective.METHODS: The study was designed as a crossover design with the same subjects (n=9). Subjects underwent a 2-week non-intervention period (CON) and a 2-week respiratory muscle exercise period (RespEX). Body composition, blood pressure, heart rate (HR), and inspiratory capacity were measured for all subjects before and after the intervention. In addition, cold pressure test (CPT) and exercise stress test were performed.RESULTS: Respiratory muscle exercise was found to significantly reduce resting HR (in RespEX, Pre- vs. Post-, p<.01). This was accompanied by the strengthening of the respiratory muscles. Also, exercise time was increased (in RespEX, Pre- vs. Post-, p<.001). However, it did not induce an increase in maximal oxygen consumption. The results of the CPT confirmed that hypersensitivity-induced HR increases were prevented.CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory muscle exercise may have some benefits in preventing CVD, but it seems reasonable to use it as an adjunctive therapy to aerobic exercise. Although limited, it was confirmed that respiratory muscle exercise can have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular improvement and CVD prevention through CPT.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate whether endurance and resistance training sequences and circadian rhythms affect muscle hypertrophy and mitochondrial biogenesis-related molecules in obese rats.METHODS: Rats were randomly divided into five groups: the obesity control group (OCG), aerobic-resistance exercise in the morning group (ARMG), resistance-aerobic exercise in the morning group (RAMG), aerobic resistance exercise in the evening group (AREG), and resistance-aerobic exercise in the evening group (RAEG). The exercise groups performed endurance and resistance exercises for 8 weeks according to their circadian rhythms and exercise sequences.RESULTS: We evaluated specific muscle hypertrophy and mitochondrial biogenesis markers in the flexor pollicis longus and soleus muscles using western blot and immunofluorescence techniques. The body weight was significantly decreased in the ARMG, RAMG, AREG, RAEG compared to the OCG after intervention. The soleus muscle fiber cross-sectional area and muscle hypertrophy markers p-Akt and p-mTOR were significantly increased in the AREG group compared with those in the OCG, ARMG, RAMG, and RAEG groups after exercise intervention. Most mitochondrial biogenesis-related markers were significantly increased in the RAMG group than in the other groups after exercise intervention.CONCLUSION: Our findings provide new evidence that muscle hypertrophy might be upregulated by resistance exercise after evening endurance exercise. In addition, morning resistance exercise followed by aerobic exercise, might promote mitochondrial biogenesis.

PURPOSE: Resistance exercise is an effective behavioral intervention for improving skeletal muscle mass and strength, and preventing sarcopenia. However, the effects of resistance exercise on arterial stiffness remain controversial. This study aimed to organize and analyze the effects of resistance training intensity on arterial stiffness in healthy adults without overt clinical disease.METHODS: A thorough literature search was conducted to retrieve original research articles between 2000 and 2023 using the PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases.RESULTS: Long-term low-intensity resistance training (RT) was deemed a safe exercise intervention that can maintain or decrease arterial stiffness and increase muscle strength. Moreover, moderate-intensity RT was effective in improving muscle strength and hypertrophy but did not reduce arterial stiffness. High-intensity RT was an excellent intervention for enhancing muscle strength. However, a potential risk of increasing both central and peripheral artery stiffness in young adults was present.CONCLUSIONS: Compared to low-intensity RT, moderate-to-high-intensity RT was more effective in improving muscle strength and hypertrophy, but may increase arterial stiffness.
目的:阻力运动是提高骨骼肌质量和力量,预防肌少症的有效行为干预。然而,阻力运动对动脉硬化的影响仍然存在争议。本研究旨在组织和分析抗阻训练强度对无明显临床疾病的健康成人动脉僵硬的影响。方法:使用PubMed、Web of Science和谷歌Scholar数据库进行全面的文献检索,检索2000 - 2023年间的原创研究文章。结果:长期低强度阻力训练(RT)被认为是一种安全的运动干预,可以维持或降低动脉僵硬度,增加肌肉力量。此外,中等强度的RT可有效改善肌肉力量和肥厚,但不能降低动脉僵硬。高强度放射治疗是增强肌肉力量的极好干预。然而,在年轻人中存在增加中央和外周动脉僵硬的潜在风险。结论:与低强度RT相比,中高强度RT在改善肌肉力量和肥厚方面更有效,但可能增加动脉僵硬。

PURPOSE: This study aimed to analyze the combined treatment effect of fermented soybean intake (for additional protein intake) and resistance exercise (for muscle metabolism activation) on the molecular biological response index of white adipose tissue (WAT) browning.METHODS: The study included twenty 50-week-old male Wistar rats, who were made obese by being fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks and then were randomly divided into four groups, control (Con), fermented soybean intake (Soy), resistance exercise (RT), and fermented soybean intake and resistance exercise combination (Soy+RT). After 12 weeks of Soy and RT treatment, body composition, and protein expression patterns such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α), fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) were compared in extensor digitorum longus and retroperitoneal fat.RESULTS: The obese rats demonstrated a reduction in body weight and body fat mass, as well as maintenance of lean mass. Interestingly, the groups treated with Soy, RT, and Soy+RT displayed enhanced protein expression of PGC-1α, FNDC5, UCP1, and IL-6 in the extensor digitorum longus and retroperitoneal fat tissue than Con. In particular, the Soy+RT group displayed the most remarkable activation of the aforementioned protein levels in the muscle and adipose tissues.CONCLUSION: This study concluded that resistance exercise and fermented soybean intake can partly contribute to the browning of WAT.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the 24-h movement behavior of young children in Korea and examine the associations of their physical activity (PA) and screen time (ST) with parental cognition and behavior in homes and neighborhood environments.METHODS: Participants included 164 young children (4.4±1.2 years; boys 42.1%) and their parents. Young children’s sleep, PA, ST, parental cognitions and behaviors, and home and neighborhood environment were measured via parental reports using the Parents’ Role in Establishing Healthy Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Habits Questionnaire. Two-tailed independent sample t-tests or Mann–Whitney U tests, and correlation analyses were performed.RESULTS: The average sleep time of toddlers was 9.8±0.8 h/day, the total time of PA was 72.1±40.0 min/day, and the ST was 87.6±70.5 min/day. The adherence rate to the guidelines for sleep, PA, and ST increased with age except for 2-year-olds, and PA was found to be significantly lower than the guidelines at each age. Parental support for their children was positively associated with young children’s PA (r=0.195, p<.01), and negative parental outcome expectations for limiting young children’s ST were associated with young children’s ST (r=0.275, p<.01).CONCLUSIONS: Young children in South Korea do not meet PA, ST, and sleep guidelines. Parental cognition may play an essential role in establishing young children’s behavior. These findings can inform family-based interventions to increase PA and minimize ST.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop an estimation equation that predicts energy expenditure (EE) during swimming exercise based on heart rate (HR). And, we also evaluated the validation for field application and compare it with the existing speedbased swimming EE equation.METHODS: A total of 63 healthy adults (ages 19-49 years) who could swim at various speeds were conveniently sampled. The experiment was conducted in an indoor 25 m pool. The protocol (measurement of individual best performance, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, <1.0 m/s) was performed for 4 minutes each according to the level of the individual. EE was evaluated using a portable respiratory gas analyzer (K4b2, Cosmed, Italy) and a swimming snorkel (Aqua Trainer Snorkel, Cosmed, Italy). HR was measured using a waterproof HR chest strap (Polar Electro Oy, Polar V800, Finland). A dummy control regression analysis was performed with the EE measured by the respiratory gas analyzer as the dependent variables and sex, age, height, weight, and HR during exercise as independent variables.RESULTS: The participants in this study were randomly divided into two groups; the equation development (n=42) and the validation group (n=21). The estimation of EE during swimming exercise is as follows; EEm=-18.197-1.966 (Gender: men=0, women=1)+.027 (Age, year)+.073 (Height, cm)+.008 (Weight, kg)+.092 (HR, bpm) R2=78% (adj. R2=77.2%). The HR-based swimming EE estimation equation (mean=0.7, difference=6.7) verified by the Bland & Altman plot showed the lowest error, followed by Monpetit (mean=1.6, difference=11.6) and Costill (Mean=0.4, difference=16.7).CONCLUSIONS: The EE during swimming was developed using physical characteristics such as sex, age, height, weight and HR in this study. This swimming EE equation might be used for commercial wearable devices.

And, we also evaluated the validation for field application and compare it with the existing speedbased swimming EE equation.METHODS: A total of 63 healthy adults (ages 19-49 years) who could swim at various speeds were conveniently sampled. The experiment was conducted in an indoor 25 m pool. The protocol (measurement of individual best performance, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, <1.0 m/s) was performed for 4 minutes each according to the level of the individual. EE was evaluated using a portable respiratory gas analyzer (K4b2, Cosmed, Italy) and a swimming snorkel (Aqua Trainer Snorkel, Cosmed, Italy).

PURPOSE: The prevalence of sarcopenia, which can lead to disability, hospitalization, and death, is increasing among older populations. Resistance exercise training (RT) is currently the most effective strategy for combating sarcopenia by stimulating hypertrophy and increasing strength. This review describes the underlying mechanisms of aging skeletal muscle and whether RT attenuates aging-related loss of muscle function and mass.METHODS: We reviewed and summarized previous research using PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases.RESULTS: Load-induced muscle growth is a complex phenomenon that depends on various physiological systems and signaling pathways. Muscle growth occurs through signaling events arising from mechanical stress and consequent muscle protein turnover controlled by the balance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is negatively affected by aging. The authors used the myonuclear domains mediated by muscle satellite cells to explain the molecular machinery of exercise-induced muscle growth and recovery in aging muscles.CONCLUSIONS: Despite a blunted molecular response to an exercise bout, aging muscle cells demonstrated remarkable plasticity, with substantial improvements in myofibril size and strength during RT. More studies are necessary to elucidate the specific mechanisms by which RT activates muscle satellite cells and mitogenic and myogenic signaling in aged muscles.
