This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the effectiveness of combined diet (not limited to caloric restriction) and exercise interventions, and diet interventions alone to improve physical function in community-dwelling older adults. Randomized clinical trials and observational populati...

To systematically search for the availability of evidence for exercise impacting on sleep for people who have rheumatoid arthritis. Two reviewers independently searched seven electronic databases, identified and extracted relevant studies by applying eligibility criteria. Sources of bias were ass...

We aimed to determine the effects of exercise training on the function of vascular smooth muscle cells. PubMed and Web of Science about the effects of exercise training on vascular smooth muscle cells were searched up to August 2020. The effect sizes were estimated in terms of the standardized me...

Objective: Obesity is associated with a decline in health-related quality of life (HRQOL), while weight loss and exercise training have a positive influence. The aim of this systematic review was to compare the effects of energy restriction (ER) alone intervention to diet and exercise interventio...

A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine the effect of exercise training on daily physical activity (PA) in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and Cochrane Central Register of Con...

Background: Physical exercises are the first step of therapy for people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Objective: The purpose of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy of aerobic exercise training with or without diet to ameliorate liver function, insulin resistance, a...

Objectives: To examine the effect of aerobic and resistant exercise intervention on inflammaging in middle-aged and older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1 β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP) as ...

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to examine studies that examined the effectiveness of aerobic exercise interventions on mobility in long-term stroke survivors. Design: The authors searched electronic databases for randomized control trials between January 1995 and December...

Aims: To conduct a meta-analysis of head-to-head trials comparing aerobic exercise training of different intensities on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. Methods: Databases, including MEDLINE and EMBASE, were searched up to January 2016. Randomized trials of at least 12 weeks in duration th...

Background: Physical exercise improves walking in the elderly but much less is known about its effect on more challenged gait, such as obstacle negotiation. We conducted a systematic review to discuss the effects of regular physical exercise on kinematics and kinetics of obstacle negotiation in t...
