Abstract:
The relationship between history of back pain and measurements of both health-related fitness and physical activity participation was examined in 233 males and 287 females, aged 15-69 years. Participants were divided by gender into those reporting no history (NH) or a history (H) of recurring back pain. Analysis of variance indicated that trunk flexion, back extensor endurance, and physical activity participation were significantly higher for NH and waist girth significantly lower for NH in both genders. In females, mean abdominal muscular endurance was significantly higher in NH. Forward stepwise discriminant function analyses indicated that the best discriminators between NH and H were back extensor endurance and physical activity participation in both genders and waist girth in females. These findings support using measurements of trunk flexion, abdominal muscular endurance, back extensor endurance, physical activity participation, and waist girth as indicators of back fitness in the evaluation of back health. Key words: back fitness, back extensor endurance, trunk flexion, curl-ups, waist girth

Abstract:
Research in modern neurorehabilitation focusses on cognitive and motor recovery programmes tailored to each stroke patient, with particular emphasis on physiological parameters. The objectives of this review were to determine whether a single bout of endurance activity or long-term endurance activity regulates exercise-dependent serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and to evaluate the methodological quality of the studies. To assess the effectiveness of endurance exercise among patients in the chronic post-stroke phase, a systematic review was performed, including searching EBSCOhost, PEDro, PubMed, and Scopus for articles published up to the end of October 2021. The PRISMA 2020 outline was used, and this review was registered on PROSPERO. Of the 180 papers identified, seven intervention studies (comprising 200 patients) met the inclusion criteria. The methodological quality of these studies was evaluated by using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) criteria. The effect of exercise was evaluated in four studies with a single bout of endurance activity, two studies with long-term endurance activity, and one study with a single bout of endurance activity as well as long-term endurance activity. The results of our systematic review provide evidence that endurance exercise might augment the peripheral BDNF concentration in post-stroke individuals.

Abstract:
The capacities of animals for activity (burst speed, maximal exertion, endurance) are examined in relation to their selective importance in extant populations and the pattern of their evolution in major animal taxa. Activity capacities have been demonstrated to be both heritable and highly variable in natural populations and hence susceptible to natural selection. Some field studies have demonstrated significant positive associations between activity capacities, particularly burst speed, and survivorship; other studies have not. The potential for such selection therefore clearly exists, although it may not operate in all populations. Comparative studies of major taxa have linked endurance capacities to maximal rates of oxygen consumption; speed and exertion are correlated with capacities for anaerobic metabolism, either the catabolism of phosphagens or the production of lactic acid or octopine, depending on taxon. In vertebrates, the primitive metabolic pattern involved the use of aerobic metabolism to support moderate swimming performance, supplemented by bursts of activity fuelled through lactic acid production. Because of much greater locomotor costs, the transition of vertebrates onto land entailed a decrease in endurance, which was greatly expanded again only after the evolution of the higher rates of aerobic metabolism characteristic of the birds and mammals. These greater aerobic capacities may have been selected for thermoregulatory reasons and/or for increased activity capacity itself.

Abstract:
Triplicate biopsies from three different depths of the gluteus medius muscle were obtained in 36 endurance-raced horses, aged 8.42 +/- 2.85 yr. Twenty of the horses were considered excellent endurance performers according to the mean speed of their three fastest records in endurance events for the past 2 or 3 years, whereas 16 were moderate performers, with a mean racing speed < 12.5 km/h (in 120- to 180-km endurance rides), < 14 km/h (in 80- to 120-km endurance rides), or < 13.5 km/h (in 40- to 60-km endurance rides). Significant differences in muscle fiber type composition and fiber size were recorded; excellent performers had a higher percentage and a larger size of type I and type IIa fibers (high and low myosin adenosinetriphosphatase activity at pH 4.5, respectively) and a lower percentage of type IIb fibers (moderate myosin adenosinetriphosphatase activity at pH 4.5), including both type IIb oxidative (moderate to high NADH-tetrazolium reductase activity) and IIb nonoxidative (low NADH-tetrazolium reductase activity). The differences in distribution of myofiber types and in fiber sizes were more marked in the deeper parts compared with the superficial regions of muscle. Our results also imply a greater homogeneity among the fiber type sizes across the muscle in horses with a superior endurance performance than in horses that had been poorly or moderately endurance raced. Thus the results show that fiber type proportions and fiber size in equine skeletal muscle are directly related to the athletic ability of the horse for endurance events.

Abstract:
This portfolio consists of six peer reviewed journal articles relating to the overall theme of the role of decision-making in informing pacing in competitive endurance events. In addition to identifying the importance of pacing decisions in determining performance level achieved, the complexity of the factors informing the process are explored. Whilst physiological state, psychological state, and the perception of exertion are important in a laboratory time trial environment, mass start races are complicated by the presence of other competitors who appear to also influence decision-making. The outputs in this portfolio investigate the role of physiological and psychological parameters in influencing pacing, and present models that may explain the decision-making process leading to observed pacing behaviours. Specifically, work in this portfolio identifies a potential role for affect and the importance of assessment of risk in informing decisions, and proposes that the decision-making process may also be influenced by a hardwired tendency to engage in collective behaviours that could ultimately be detrimental in some endurance sport competitions. It is concluded that pacing behaviour results from complex decision-making processes informed by multiple interconnected physiological and psychological variables, in addition to athlete-environment interactions. Future research priorities are identified as identification of the relative weightings assigned to internal and external (environmental) factors in informing pacing decisions, further development of interdisciplinary models of pacing during competition, and development and testing of interventions that better enable athletes to maintain individually optimal pacing strategies during competition in order to realise performance potential.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of activity trackers on physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory endurance (CRE), body fat percentage (BF%), and exercise motivation. With wearable technology being named as the number one fitness trend for 2016 and 2017 (Thompson, 2015, 2016), activity trackers may be an effective tool to increase physical activity, increase CRE, decrease BF%, and improve exercise motivation. Forty-eight healthy volunteer participants ages 18–72 who did not achieve more than 3000 metabolic equivalent of task (MET) minutes per week of physical activity (PA) were recruited to participate in a 12-week walking intervention. Participants were given the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), exercise motivation inventory (EMI-2) survey, tested for anthropometric measures, and tested for CRE at baseline and final testing. Participants were divided into an activity tracker group and a control group. Analyses revealed no significant differences between the treatment and control groups for PA, CRE, BF%, or motivation from baseline to final testing. There were significant improvements in PA measured by the IPAQ for both groups from baseline to final testing, F (2, 64) = 17.374, p = .000; however, step counts did not improve for either group from baseline to final testing. There were significant improvements in CRE for both groups from baseline to final testing, F (1, 29) = 13.016, p = .001. Analyses revealed that the walking program may have been effective for improving PA and CRE, but that activity trackers did not provide any additional benefits. The conclusion is that activity trackers alone may not be an effective tool for the improvement of PA, CRE, BF%, or motivation.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Iron is a trace mineral used by the body in many physiological processes that are essential to athletic performance. Commonly, the body's iron stores are compromised by exercise via several well established mechanisms. One such mechanism is the destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis), in response to the mechanical stress and circulatory strain of exercise. Although it appears that a force-dependent relationship between the heel-strike of the running gait and ground contact exists, the effects of the intensity trained at and the ground surface type trained upon have not been documented. Similarly, the effects of a cumulative training stress (i.e. multiple daily sessions) has not been examined. In addition to hemolysis, exercise also invokes an inflammatory response that results in an up-regulation of the cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6). This cytokine is the primary mediator of hepcidin expression, a liver-produced hormone that regulates iron metabolism in the gut and in macrophages. The influence of exercise on hepcidin expression is relatively unknown, and as such it is possible that this hormone may be a mitigating factor implicated in athletic-induced iron deficiency. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effect of different training frequencies, intensities and ground surfaces on the hemolytic response. In addition, the impact of exercise-induced inflammation on hepcidin expression in the 24 h post-exercise was investigated, with the aim of determining whether this hormone may be a potential new mechanism associated with athletic-induced iron deficiency. Finally, an interaction between hemolysis and hepcidin activity was examined to investigate their potential combined effect on iron status in the 24 h post-exercise. ... Venous blood and urine samples were collected pre- and immediately post-exercise, and at 3 and 24 h of recovery. Samples were analysed for circulating levels of IL-6, free Hb, Hp, serum iron, ferritin and urinary hepcidin activity. At the conclusion of both the T1 and T2 interval runs, the free Hb and serum Hp were significantly increased (p<0.05) from pre-exercise levels. Furthermore, a cumulative effect of two running sessions was shown in the T2 trial, via a further significant fall in serum Hp. The IL-6 and hepcidin activity were significantly increased after each running session (p<0.05) with no cumulative effect seen. Serum iron and ferritin were significantly increased post-exercise after each interval run (p<0.05), but were not influenced by the addition of a prior LSD run 12 h earlier. As a result, this investigation showed a cumulative effect of consecutive training sessions on RBC destruction in male athletes. Furthermore, post-exercise increases to serum iron and hepcidin, and their interaction was suggested to have potential implications for an athlete's iron status. Overall, the findings of this thesis show that hemolysis is evident at the conclusion of endurance running, and is influenced by training intensity and frequency. The results enabled a time-line for hepcidin expression post-exercise to be established, and the implications of increases to the activity of this hormone, in association with the hemolytic changes seen with endurance exercise are discussed.

Abstract:
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) with its cardio- protective effects has provided remarkable optimism to the ever-increasing incidences of coronary artery disease. Therefore, the aim of this randomized, comparative, research trial was to determine whether endurance exercise training, weight training and/or a combination of aerobic and weight training can be utilized in the management of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Subsequent to the 16-week intervention period, dependant t-Tests revealed that the non-exercising and weight training groups demonstrated non- significant mean 1.3% (p = 0.754) and 11.1% (p = 0.069) increases in fasting serum HDL-C, respectively. Conversely, there was a significant increase in HDL-C following the 16 weeks of endurance training (p = 0.003) and combination training (p = 0.005) (22.4% and 37.9%, respectively). Further, Spearman’s rho indicated no correlations between HDL-C and BMI (r = -0.131), percentage body fat (r = - 0.141), cholesterol intake (r = - 0.026) and total fat intake (r = - 0.239). The absence of changes in these inter-correlations indicated that changes in these parameters had no effect on the HDL-C. On the contrary, moderate correlations were established between HDL-C and number of cigarettes smoked daily (r = - 0.344) and intake of saturated fat (r = - 0.317) indicating that exercise effect on these variables could have indirectly contributed significantly in altering HDL- C in the endurance and combination training groups. As such, endurance and combination training can be utilized as an effective method in the management of HDL-C in sedentary male smokers.

Abstract:
La mucoviscidose est la maladie génétique la plus fréquente des populations caucasiennes. Chez les personnes atteintes, la protéine CFTR est anormale et les sécrétions acheminées vers l’extérieur ou un organe creux, ne contiennent pas assez d’eau. Peu fluides, elles s’épaississent et sont difficilement évacuées, dégradant le fonctionnement des organes concernés (pancréas, poumons, foie et voies biliaires, glandes sudoripares, glandes sexuelles). A ce jour, il n’existe pas de traitement curatif de la mucoviscidose et les soins s’organisent selon le traitement symptomatologique de la maladie, nécessitant une prise en charge multidisciplinaire où la réhabilitation à l’exercice et les activités physiques ont une place croissante.Dans cette pathologie, le travail des muscles respiratoire est augmenté du fait des anomalies bronchiques auxquelles ils font face quotidiennement, pouvant engendrer une fatigabilité accrue voire une dysfonction. Dans les premiers temps de la maladie, la force des muscles respiratoires est inchangée voire augmentée et, lorsqu’un déclin est identifié, l’ensemble des paramètres cliniques le sont aussi.Dans ce sens, la force des muscles respiratoires ne semble pas être un marqueur physiologique suffisamment sensible aux changements discrets et ne permet pas de détecter de façon précoce le déclin de la fonction musculaire respiratoire. De plus, évaluée de façon ponctuelle, elle ne permet pas de caractériser la fatigabilité des muscles respiratoires.Les caractéristiques de force et d’endurance des muscles respiratoires étant susceptibles d’évoluer distinctement, il paraît intéressant d’examiner si l’endurance ne serait pas un marqueur plus sensible que la force pour détecter précocement le déclin de la fonction respiratoire de ces patients ainsi que de leur statut fonctionnel. A ce jour, il n’existe pas d’évaluation standard de l’endurance des muscles respiratoires et les quelques travaux ayant dans lesquels cette caractéristique a été étudiée présentent beaucoup d’hétérogénéité.Dans ce contexte, nos objectifs de recherche sont d’étudier les caractéristiques cliniques et les mécanismes de la tolérance à l’effort des patients atteints de mucoviscidose sous l’angle de la fonction musculaire respiratoire et, plus particulièrement, de l’endurance musculaire respiratoire.Dans ce travail, nous avons tout d’abord étudié et comparé la reproductibilité de deux méthodes d’évaluation distinctes de l’endurance des muscles respiratoires à partir d’un groupe de sujets en bonne santé. Nous avons ensuite caractérisé l’ensemble de la fonction musculaire respiratoire de patients atteints de mucoviscidose afin d’établir et comparer les significations cliniques de l’endurance et de la force des muscles respiratoires avec la fonction pulmonaire, la tolérance à l’exercice, la force périphérique et la qualité de vie des patients. Enfin nous avons étudié les effets d’un entraînement spécifique des muscles respiratoires.Nous avons montré que l’endurance des muscles respiratoires des patients atteints de mucoviscidose pouvait être diminuée indépendamment de la force des muscles respiratoires. Nous soulignons aussi que l’endurance des muscles respiratoire est un indicateur pertinent pour caractériser la tolérance à l’effort global de ces patients. Cependant, le choix du test retenu pour mesurer l’endurance est déterminant afin de pouvoir détecter les changements potentiels de la fonction musculaire respiratoire au cours de la mucoviscidose. Par ailleurs nous avons montré qu’un entraînement spécifique des muscles respiratoires améliorait la force des muscles respiratoires, sans pouvoir conclure sur d’autres effets significatifs sur le plan de la fonction pulmonaire, de la tolérance à l’exercice et de la qualité de vie des patients
Cystic fibrosis is the most common genetic disorder in Caucasian populations. In affected patients,the CFTR protein is abnormal and the secretions carried to the outside or a hollow organ, do notcontain enough water. Not very fluid, they thicken and are difficult to evacuate, degrading thefunctioning of the organs concerned (pancreas, lungs, liver and bile ducts, sweat glands, sexualglands). To date, there is no cure for cystic fibrosis and care is organised according to thesymptomatological treatment of the disease, requiring multidisciplinary care where rehabilitationexercise and physical activities have a growing place.In this pathology, the work of the respiratory muscles is increased because of the bronchialabnormalities they face daily, which can lead to increased fatigue or dysfunction. In the earlystages of the disease, the strength of the respiratory muscles is unchanged or even increased and,when a decline is identified, all the clinical parameters are too.In this sense, the strength of the respiratory muscles does not seem to be a physiological markersufficiently sensitive to discrete changes and does not allow early detection of the decline inrespiratory muscle function. Moreover, evaluated in a punctual way, it does not allow tocharacterise the fatigability of the respiratory muscles.Since the strength and endurance characteristics of the respiratory muscles are likely to evolvedistinctly, it seems interesting to examine whether endurance would not be a more sensitivemarker than force to detect early the decline in respiratory function of these patients. as well astheir functional status. To date, there is no standard evaluation of the endurance of therespiratory muscles and the few studies in which this feature has been studied have a great dealof heterogeneity.In this context, our research objectives are to study the clinical characteristics and mechanisms ofexercise tolerance in cystic fibrosis patients in terms of respiratory muscle function and inparticular respiratory muscle endurance.In this work, we first investigated and compared the reproducibility of two separate assessmentmethods of respiratory muscle endurance from a group of healthy subjects. We thencharacterised the overall respiratory muscle function of cystic fibrosis patients to establish andcompare the clinical significance of endurance and strength of respiratory muscles with lungfunction, exercise tolerance, peripheral strength and quality of life. Finally, we studied the effectsof specific training of the respiratory muscles.We have shown that the endurance of the respiratory muscles of cystic fibrosis patients can bedecreased independently of the strength of the respiratory muscles. We also emphasize thatrespiratory muscle endurance is a relevant indicator for characterizing the overall exercisetolerance of these patients. However, the choice of the test used to measure endurance is crucialin order to be able to detect the potential changes in respiratory muscle function during cysticfibrosis. Moreover, we have shown that specific training of the respiratory muscles improves thestrength of the respiratory muscles, without being able to conclude on other significant effects interms of lung function, exercise tolerance and quality of life patients

Abstract:
Expertise and training in fine motor skills has been associated with changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity. Fewer studies have explored the neural effects of athletic activities that do not seem to rely on precise fine motor control (e.g., distance running). Here, we compared resting-state functional connectivity in a sample of adult male collegiate distance runners (n = 11; age = 21.3 +/- 2.5) and a group of healthy age matched non-athlete male controls (n = 11; age = 20.6 +/- 1.1), to test the hypothesis that expertise in sustained aerobic motor behaviors affects resting state functional connectivity in young adults. Although generally considered an automated repetitive task, locomotion, especially at an elite level, likely engages multiple cognitive actions including planning, inhibition, monitoring, attentional switching and multi-tasking, and motor control. Here, we examined connectivity in three resting-state networks that link such executive functions with motor control: the default mode network (DMN), the frontoparietal network (FPN), and the motor network (MN). We found two key patterns of significant between-group differences in connectivity that are consistent with the hypothesized cognitive demands of elite endurance running. First, enhanced connectivity between the FPN and brain regions often associated with aspects of working memory and other executive functions (frontal cortex), suggest endurance running may stress executive cognitive functions in ways that increase connectivity in associated networks. Second, we found significant anti-correlations between the DMN and regions associated with motor control (paracentral area), somatosensory functions (post-central region), and visual association abilities (occipital cortex). DMN deactivation with task-positive regions has been shown to be generally beneficial for cognitive performance, suggesting anti-correlated regions observed here are engaged during running. For all between-group differences, there were significant associations between connectivity, self-reported physical activity, and estimates of maximum aerobic capacity, suggesting a dose-response relationship between engagement in endurance running and connectivity strength. Together these results suggest that differences in experience with endurance running are associated with differences in functional brain connectivity. High intensity aerobic activity that requires sustained, repetitive locomotor and navigational skills may stress cognitive domains in ways that lead to altered brain connectivity, which in turn has implications for understanding the beneficial role of exercise for brain and cognitive function over the lifespan.

Abstract:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive muscle wasting disease affecting 1 in every 3500 boys. The disease is characterized by the absence of the dystrophin protein from the sarcolemma of muscle cells. Muscle cells lacking dystrophin go through cycles of degeneration and regeneration and are considered susceptible to contraction-induced injury 144. Eventually, the satellite cell proliferative capacity is exhausted and the muscle fibers are replaced by connective and adipose tissue that yields a progressive loss of force generating capability. DMD patients typically die by their early 20's, primarily due to respiratory or cardiac failure. The precise role of dystrophin is not presently known. However, its absence suggests that it may play a role in both cellular calcium regulation and oxidative stress 152. Recent studies suggest increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) may precede the initial wave of wasting that marks disease onset 49. Therefore, it is possible oxidative stress may contribute as a pathogenic mechanism of DMD. Strategies to reduce the deleterious effects of oxidative stress could be an effective therapeutic approach. Regular exercise is known to increase antioxidant capacity in humans and mice 146. Green tea extract (GTE) is a powerful antioxidant that is easily supplemented in the diet 83.

The purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that (1) voluntary endurance exercise alone, (2) a diet supplemented with 0.05% (wt/wt) GTE alone, or exercise and GTE combined will blunt the effects of ROS and improve muscle strength and endurance in young mdx mice. Male mdx mice at age 21-days were randomly divided into one of 4 treatment groups: Run Normal diet (RunNorm; n=8), Sedentary Normal diet (SedNorm; n=8), Run GTE diet (RunGTE; n=10), and Sedentary GTE diet (SedGTE; n=8). RunNorm and RunGTE mice were given free access to a running wheel for 3 weeks while SedNorm and SedGTE mice were restricted to normal cage movement. At the end of 3 weeks, mice in each treatment group were sacrificed and assessed for daily and weekly running distances, content of actin and myosin proteins and fiber type distribution (tibialis anterior), contractile/mechanical and fatigue properties (extensor digitorum longus), creatine kinase levels and antioxidant capacity (serum), lipid peroxidation (gastrocnemius), and citrate synthase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities (quadriceps and soleus).

The key findings of this study were: In normal diet running mice (RunNorm), average daily distance run was increased 300% (from 0.5 to 2.1 km/d, P<0.05) from week 1 to week 3. In GTE diet (RunGTE) compared to RunNorm mice, total distance over the 3 weeks was markedly improved 128% (61.2 vs. 26.8 km, P<0.0001). Running, independent of diet increased EDL muscle tetanic stress (18%), serum antioxidant capacity (22%), citrate synthase activity (35%), and beta-oxidation (37%; all P<0.05). GTE, independent of running decreased lipid peroxidation (gastrocnemius:-64%; heart: -29%) and serum creatine kinase (-36%), and increased citrate synthase activity (59%; all P<0.05).

These findings in dystrophic mice suggest that voluntary endurance exercise with or without GTE supplementation blunted the deleterious effects of ROS. If similar positive effects are evident in human DMD patients, then these approaches may be beneficial therapies either alone or in combination.

Contexte: Il n’y a pas de consensus concernant la meilleure activité physique pour réduire le risque cardio-vasculaire (RCV) résultant de l'accumulation du tissu adipeux viscéral dans le syndrome métabolique (SMet). Objectif: analyser les effets de l'activité physique sur le tissu adipeux viscéral et sur le RCV chez des patients SMet. Méthodes: 100 adultes, 50-70 ans, ont été randomisés en trois groupes d’activité physique: mixte (endurance et résistance) résistance modérée + endurance modérée (re), Résistance intense + endurance modérée (Re), résistance modérée + Endurance intense (rE). Une cure de trois semaines (J0 à J20), en institution, a précédé un suivi à domicile d’une année (M12). Nous avons suivi le tissu adipeux viscéral et la composition corporelle par DXA, les paramètres du SMet, les performances en force et en endurance, et le RCV en utilisant le score de Framingham et l’épaisseur intima-média carotidienne. L’observance a été évaluée entre D20 et M12. Résultats: 78 participants (78%) ont terminé l'étude. À J20, la perte de graisse viscérale était la plus élevée pour Re (-18%, p<.0001) et plus élevée pour rE que re (-12% vs 7%, p<.0001). De même, à partir de M3, la graisse viscérale a plus pour Re et rE (p<.05) pour atteindre à M12 une perte de graisse viscérale de -21,5% (Re) et -21,1% (rE) > -13,0% (re) (p<.001). Le RCV, le SMet et les performances physiques ont été améliorées dans tous les groupes. Les principales améliorations ont été obtenues durant la cure et ont ensuite évolué en fonction de l’observance. Particulièrement entre M6 et M12, les non-observants dégradent leurs améliorations alors que les observants restent stables. La perte de tissu adipeux viscéral est corrélée aux améliorations des paramètres du SM. Conclusions: Les 3 modalités d'activité physique induisent une perte de graisse viscérale et améliorent le RCV et le SMet, mais une haute intensité en résistance entraîne une amélioration plus rapide. Une cure avec un encadrement quotidien est indispensable pour aider les patients à atteindre leurs objectifs. L’observance semble être le principal défi dans le succès du traitement du SM
Background: Opinions differ over the type of physical activity that best limits the cardiovascular risk (CVR) resulting from visceral fat accumulation in the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Aim: To analyze the effects of physical activity on visceral fat and cardiovascular risk (CVR) in patients suffering from MetS. Methods: 100 adults, aged 50-70y, were randomized to three training groups: moderate endurance and resistance (re), dominant resistance (Re), or dominant endurance (rE). A 1-year at-home follow-up (M12) began with a 3-week residential program (Day 0 to Day 20). We measured the change in central fat and body composition by DXA, MetS parameters, fitness and CVR using the Framingham score and carotid-intima-media-thickness. Compliance was assessed between D20 and M12. Results: 78 participants (78%) completed the study. At D20, central fat loss was highest in Re (-18%, p<.0001) and higher in rE than re (-12% vs. -7%, p<.0001). Likewise, from M3, visceral fat decreased more in Re and rE than in re (p<.05) to reach at M12 a central fat loss of -21.5% (Re) and -21.1% (rE) > -13.0% (re) (p<.001). CVR, MetS parameters and fitness improved in all groups. The main improvements were obtained during the residential program and evolved thereafter depending on compliance. Non-compliers had higher values in most outcomes between M6 and M12 whereas compliers maintained improvement. Central fat loss correlated with changes in MetS parameters. Conclusions: The 3 modalities of physical activity induced central fat loss and improvements in CVR and MetS, but high-intensity-resistance resulted in a faster improvement. A residential program with daily coaching is essential to help patients achieve their aims. Compliance appears to be the main challenge in successful Mets treatment

Abstract:
La drépanocytose est une hémoglobinopathie génétique ayant pour conséquences une anémie hémolytique chronique et sévère et des crises vaso-occlusives itératives. Cette pathologie s’accompagne également d’une intolérance à l’effort et d’altérations de la fonction et du tissu musculaire. Récemment, nous avons pu montrer, par une étude contrôlée et randomisée, l’innocuité et les bénéfices fonctionnels d’un programme d’entrainement en endurance, d’intensité modérée, chez des patients drépanocytaires. L’objectif de ce travail doctoral a été d’évaluer les effets de ce programme d’entrainement sur les caractéristiques musculaires de quarante patients drépanocytaires homozygotes. L’analyse des biopsies musculaires rapporte des adaptations tissulaires chez les patients entrainés, illustrées par une augmentation de la surface des myocytes, une amélioration de leur capacité oxydative, une augmentation du nombre de microvaisseaux sans modification de leur tortuosité, laissant supposer une meilleure oxygénation musculaire. L’excellente tolérance de ce mode d’entrainement semble reposer sur une plus faible mobilisation des voies anaérobies comme en témoigne la stabilité des activités enzymatiques associées à la glycolyse lactique et l’absence de modification du contenu musculaire des protéines impliquées dans la régulation du pH. Par ailleurs, cet entrainement n’a pas engendré de dégradation tissulaire notable. Ainsi, cet entrainement a non seulement apporté des bénéfices fonctionnels, mais également réduit les dysfonctionnements tissulaires musculaires. Cette thérapie par l’exercice peut donc être considéré comme une stratégie adjuvante prometteuse pour les patients drépanocytaires
Sickle cell disease is a genetic hemoglobinopathy resulting in chronic and severe hemolytic anemia and iterative vaso-occlusive crisis. This pathology is also accompanied by exercise intolerance and alterations in muscle function and tissue. Recently, we demonstrated, through a randomized controlled study, the safety and functional benefits of a moderate-intensity endurance exercise training program in sickle cell disease patients. The objective of this doctoral work was to evaluate the effects of this training program on the muscle characteristics of forty homozygous sickle cell disease patients. The analysis of muscle biopsies reported tissue adaptations in trained patients, illustrated by an increase in the surface area of myocytes, an improvement in their oxidative capacity, an increase in the number of microvessels without modification of their tortuosity, suggesting a better muscle oxygenation. The excellent tolerance of this training mode seems to be based on a lower mobilization of the anaerobic pathways, as shown by the stability of the enzymatic activities associated with lactic glycolysis and the lack of any modification of the muscle protein content involved in pH regulation. Moreover, this training did not result in any significant tissue degradation. Thus, this training provided functional benefits, but also reduced muscle tissue dysfunctions. This exercise therapy can therefore be considered a promising adjuvant strategy for sickle cell disease patients

Distance running has become increasingly popular in recreational runners. The gastrocnemius is the main muscle used for propulsion in running, and may be at risk for injury due to its morphology. In previous studies, changes in the morphology and architecture of the gastrocnemius muscle have been evident following training, but it is unclear whether these changes are related to training or youth. Previous studies of runners have shown a decrease in gastrocnemius and soleus flexibility, as well as changes in the fascicle length and pennation angle. Gastrocnemius volume has not been compared in low physical activity and active participants. Physiological cross sectional area, based on volume and fascicle length measurements may also provide valuable information about the muscle’s ability to produce force. Ultrasound may be a useful tool in assessing potential training adaptations in the morphology and architecture of the gastrocnemius muscle. The aim of this cross-sectional descriptive study was to assess the differences in architecture and function of the gastrocnemius in endurance runners compared to low physical activity participants. (a) To assess differences in calf function and flexibility between endurance runners and low physical activity individuals, and between male and female participants; (b) To determine differences in gastrocnemius muscle architecture and composition between endurance runners versus low physical activity individuals, and between males and females; and (c) To determine whether there are any relationships between training factors and the structure and function of the gastrocnemius muscle. Thirty participants between 20 and 45 years old were recruited for this study and allocated to groups based on their level of physical activity. The low physical activity group (n = 14) were not participating in any regular physical activity, while the endurance running group (n = 16) were running a minimum of 40 km.wk-1, and had participated in at least one full marathon (42.2 km) in the previous six months. All participants completed informed consent, a physical activity and training questionnaire, and a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) at the first session. The first session also included body composition measurements; ultrasound imaging to measure gastrocnemius length, thickness, fascicle length, pennation angle and volume; and familiarisation with all physical tests. Physical tests were conducted in the second session, including gastrocnemius and soleus flexibility, calf raise endurance and vertical jump height to assess the function of the components of the triceps surae. There were no significant differences between low physical activity and running groups for gastrocnemius thickness, fascicle length, pennation angle and gastrocnemius length. Gastrocnemius volume (p = 0.02) and physiological cross sectional area (p = 0.01) were significantly greater in the running group compared to the low physical activity group. There were no significant differences between low physical activity and running groups in flexibility or vertical jump height, although male participants had significantly decreased gastrocnemius muscle flexibility (p = 0.046) and significantly greater vertical jump heights (p = 0.01) than females. Calf raise endurance was significantly greater in the running group than in the low physical activity group (p = 0.03). Endurance running leads to specific adaptations in participants in both structure and function. While ultrasound appears to be a reliable measure for assessing architectural components of the gastrocnemius muscle in both active and inactive populations, further cadaver studies may provide valuable information on muscle architecture.

Abstract:
In this chapter the current evidence for regular aerobic exercise in primary prevention is discussed and recommendations for exercise interventions in the general population are given. Regular physical exercise is an established therapeutic strategy in a number of cardiovascular diseases and with stable chronic heart failure. In these disease entities moderate-intensity aerobic endurance training is the basis of most training programmes. However, high-intensity interval training is more effective in improving cardiovascular exercise capacity without any measurable additional risks. Resistance training can be used as an optional training component in patients with pronounced loss of lean muscle. In recent years new areas for application of exercise-based intervention have been explored: training interventions proved to be safe and effective in pulmonary hypertension, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and compensated subcritical valvular heart disease. However, in contrast to training in coronary artery disease and heart failure, the prognostic benefit is not yet established.

Abstract:
Physical activity, body weight, and fitness are often, but not always, related. This chapter discusses research that has examined all three areas. People with disabilities face many individual, social, and environmental barriers to being physically active. As a result, people with disabilities can have physical activity levels that are, like able-bodied people, quite dismal. Research examining the lack of physical activity among people with impairments is quite robust as it spans ethnicity, disability type, physical activity type, and assessment method. Partly as a function of a lack of physical activity, people with disabilities tend to have higher levels of overweight and obesity compared to able-bodied people. Additionally, a lack of physical activity contributes to a lack of muscular strength and endurance and inferior cardiovascular fitness. As a result, a pattern of increasing weight gain and decreasing fitness make activities of daily living more difficult. In turn, further formal and informal physical activity become more difficult and a vicious downward spiral develops that is difficult to break, particularly for older and unhealthy individuals with disabilities.

Abstract:
A comprehensive understanding of the secular trends in physical activity of children and adolescents is necessary for public health, due to the significant impact of this factor on health. Regardless of body weight, cardiorespiratory endurance in children is associated with multiple metabolic risk factors, and adolescents with low values ​​of cardiorespiratory endurance are more likely to develop hypertension in adulthood, even with a normal body mass index. The level of motor abilities during childhood and adolescence has been identified as a significant factor influencing the overall daily level of physical activity and maintaining normal body weight values ​​in adulthood. Physical education classes should play a key role in improving the physical activity of children and adolescents because they represent a social impact that encompasses the widest part of the population of the appropriate chronological age. Promoting a healthy lifestyle through finding effective ways to maintain physical activity, within the recommended limits for children and adolescents, is essential for the future of the population and has a tremendous economic, social and demographic impact on the future of each country.

Abstract:
Purpose: Adequate physical activity (PA) of elderly is currently an intensively discussed topic. In urban agglomerations, physical activity for this population group is often implemented as a vari-ety of intervention programs. The question is whether some of the normal work activities in the countryside can provide suficient amount of physical activity? And whether this activity is suitable for elderly? In our study we want to verify whether viticulture can be an interesting and suitable alternative of physical activity for elderly. Methods: Our research is designed as a case study based on one-year observation. Subject of the observation was 65 years old man living in South Moravia region (CZE). Observation was realized from spring to fall 2017. Descriptive statistical methods were used for quantita-tive analysis and energy expenditure during work activities was set up according to the work of (Ainsworth et al., 1993) and (Novotný, 2003) Results: During one year (March – October), the observed person made 36 visits to the vineyard. Mean of the visit duration was almost 3.5 hours and mean energy expenditure was 4663 kJ (1114 kcal) per visit. Within one year he has realized 20 different types of operations based of various abilities: endurance, strength-endurance, flexibility and balance. Some of the operations also needed fine motor skills. Conclusions: Our study shows that viticulture could be an interesting activity for elderly. It brings a suficient amount of PA, which is also quite diverse (from strength to fine motor skills). Moreover, the material results of this activity serve as a suitable motivational factor for regular implementation of vineyard care. However, the disadvantage of a given PA is its seasonal character (March – October) and the risk of overloading during long-term activity.

Abstract:
Introduction:Due to an international trend of the aging population, we see increased attention paid to studies dealing with the factors that have a positive or negative impact on successful aging. As we know, a higher level of physical activity and thus increased physical fitness sig-nificantly affect the quality of aging. One of the major problems in the elderly is the risks of falls. This age group is at high risk of injuries caused by falls. Analyses of aspects related to the falls revealed the significance of lower muscular tension, previous experience with falling, the bad stereotype of the walk, impaired balanced abilities, and so on. Purpose: In this study, we focused on the impact of different types of physical activity on walking as a vital everyday movement. Methods: Fortyfour older adults (Mage 69,09 years, SD 4,25; 22 male and 22 female) were randomly assigned to four groups, three training groups, and one control group; resistance training group, proprioceptive training group, endurance training group. The group consisted of seniors without a history of malignant disease during their life and without regular physical activity. All groups were tested on timed 10-meter walk test (10MWT), the 3-m backward walk (3MBW), and the 6-minute walk test (6MWD) at baseline, after 12 weeks and after 14 weeks (2 weeks after finishing intervention program). The 10MWT is used to assess walking speed over a short distance. The 3MBW is a test-close related fall risk. The 6MWD is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity. Results: We revealed differences between the types of exercises and the sustain-ability of the acquired skills. Results indicated significant improvements in gait speed in all ex-ercise groups. Subsequent measurements after a 14-day off indicated a slight deterioration trend in all groups. The resistance group showed the best results in the walk-back test. This group was the only one to maintain its standard also after 14-days off. All groups, including control, showed an improvement in aerobic capacity and endurance (measured by 6MWD). We found out differences between groups only after 14-day off. Conclusion: Our study confirmed the usefulness of performing targeted physical activity in older adults. Resistance and proprioceptive training has shown an important role in the pre-vention of falls.

Introduction: Physical activity (PA) performed at recommended levels is associated with mul-tiple health benefits. However, as indicated by the available studies, the volume of habitual physical activity of children continuously decreases. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the relationships between physical activity per-formed by school-age population and indicators of motor performance and body composition. Methods: The research group consisted of 144 students of the primary school assigned into groups according to the years of study (first, fifth and eighth-year students). The amount of physical activity was examined through a non-direct method, using Fels PAQ, recording four scores, namely sport index, leisure index, work (chore) index and total score. Body composition was tested using a direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectric impedance analysis (DSM-BIA). Motor performance was assessed in four categories. Endurance and strength endurance were assessed using Jacik’s motor test; strength abilities were measured using a hand grip test; speed abilities were tested in linear sprints at 5 and 10 meters and in the test of speed with changes of direction at 4 x 10 m and, finally, explosive strength was assessed from results of the countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ) and 10-second repeated jumps tests. The strength of association between the selected factors was determined from the results using the Spearman’s rank correlation analysis. Results: The amount of physical activity was mainly associated with the indicators of active body mass (fat free mass, skeletal muscle mass) in all age categories. Low association was found in the parameters of adipose tissue (body fat percentage, visceral fat level). When assessing the strength of association between the characteristics of motor performance and physical activity performed, we observed various courses of associations, based on which it is not possible to determine the tendency. When assessing the relationship between the amount of physical activity and motor performance of students regardless of age, we found medium association only with indicators of strength abilities (hand grip test) and characteris-tics of speed abilities. Conclusions: The results are not explicit but they point to some tendencies in relationships between habitual physical performance and body composition indicators. With respect to mo-tor performance, it is not possible to consider these results decisive; therefore, further data collection and more accurate assessment of relationships are necessary.

Abstract:
The increased level of modern sport development increases the demands claimed on different aspects of the training process with further rehabilitation organization and realization. That is why we still have the problem of an adequate and effective integral system creation. The mentioned direction has a direct connection with the activity of scientists, coaches- practitioners and sports clubs. They have to work within one mechanism of interaction. Materials. Studying the level of working capacity influence stimulation and organism rehabilitation means on an organism of basketball players from higher educational establishments on the basis of a wildgrowing plant root “snowdon rose” (Rhodiola rosea), classical massage with special oils and contrast shower application. Research methods. The following methods were used in the experiment: scientific-methodical sources analysis concerning the level of working capacity and athletes’ functional rehabilitation increase; functional tests; the received video material with the indices analysis; mathematical statistics. The research realization was on the basis of N.F. Katanov State University, Khakassia and Khakassia Technical Institute (branch) of Siberian Federal University in Abakan. Results. During the research work we stated qualitative and quantitative indices of athletes’ coordinating endurance with the help of video together with other mentioned above rehabilitation means; the received results were handled and we revealed positive changes in the studied information values of basketball players’ motor sphere and respiratory system. Conclusion. The results analysis, received after the research, helped to come to the following conclusion: out of the presented components the biological factor in a form of a wild-growing plant root “snowdon rose” (Rhodiola rosea) has the main influence on the working capacity and functional rehabilitation of basketball players’ organisms.
