Background When applying aquatic exercise program to patients with neurological disorder, quality of life (QOL) can be changed by physical function or psychological improvement. Methods Cochrane Database, CINAHL, Embase, Google Scholar, PEDro, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SCOPUS were used to s...

Aims To systematically review and meta-analyze the impact of aquatic exercise (AE) on cardiovascular health in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Material and methods Relevant literature about AE in patients with T2DM up to May 25, 2021, were collected from the PubMed, the Cochra...

Irisin is a recently discovered myokine that increases adipocyte metabolism, induces further "browning" of white adipose tissue, and enhances glucose metabolism. No study has ever determined how an acute bout of exercise impacts immediate post-exercise irisin concentration using a meta-analytic a...

Background: Aerobic exercise is believed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease partially through increasing serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). However, this effect varies considerably among exercise intervention studies. Methods: Electronic database searches o...

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fatigue is not being well-managed currently, and evidence of effective interventions is limited. Aerobic exercise may provide benefit to treat fatigue in RA. Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analysis is to analyze the effect of aerobic land-based exercise o...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise training on asthma control, lung function and airway inflammation in adults with asthma. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Randomised controlled trials investigating the effect of ≥8 weeks of aerobic exercise training...

Background and objective: Controversy exists as to whether aerobic exercise training decreases arterial stiffness in obese subjects. The aim of this study was to systematically review and quantify the effect of aerobic exercise training on arterial stiffness in obese populations. Methods: MEDL...

Excess visceral adiposity contributes to elevated cardiometabolic risk, and waist circumference is commonly used as a surrogate measure of visceral adipose tissue. Although regular aerobic exercise is known to improve abdominal obesity, its effect on waist circumference is unclear. A systematic r...

Introduction: The recommendation of exercise programs in the senior population may benefit inactive and sedentary individuals and improve and help to treat specific health conditions. The purpose of this review is to summarize the published evidence from RCT studies of aerobic exercise interventi...

Background: Chronic inflammation plays a significant role in accelerating the aging process and is closely associated with the initiation and progression of a broad range of age-related diseases. Physical exercise is considered beneficial in alleviating these conditions, but the effects of aerobi...
