PURPOSE The number of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) subjects has been increasing worldwide, and many studies have been conducted to determine the treatment that can delay drug therapy or surgery. Subsequently, most of these studies involved physical activity (PA) and associated factors. Therefore, we aimed to determine factors associated with BPH prevalence based on a review of past and pr...

More nutritional status occurs because of an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. High is the result excessive food consumption, while low expenditure a lack physical activity. The sedentary lifestyle has increased during Covid-19 Pandemic. Sedentary triggers risk overweight obesity in adolescents. This research uses analytic observational design with cross-sectional approach which ...

CONTEXT Time spent in sedentary behaviours (SB) is associated with poor health, irrespective of the level of physical activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of interventions which included SB as an outcome measure in adults. METHODS Thirteen databases, including The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE and SPORTDiscus, trial registers and reference lists, were searched for randomised...

The maximal rate of O₂ consumption (VO₂ max) constitutes one of the oldest fitness indexes established for the measure of cardiorespiratory fitness and aerobic performance. Procedures have been developed in which VO₂ max is estimated from physiological responses during submaximal exercise. Generally, VO₂ max is estimated using the classical renowned Astrand-Ryhming test. In young adults, poor f...

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and feasibility of a resistance-training (RT) and lifestyle-activity program for sedentary older adults. Eligible participants (N = 44) were randomized to an 8-wk intervention or a control group. The primary outcome was lower body muscle strength, and participants completed a range of secondary outcomes. There was a significant group-by-time i...

The current human genome was moulded and refined through generations of time. We propose that the basic framework for physiologic gene regulation was selected during an era of obligatory physical activity, as the survival of our Late Palaeolithic (50 000-10 000 BC) ancestors depended on hunting and gathering. A sedentary lifestyle in such an environment probably meant elimination of that indivi...
