Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise interventions for cognitive function in adults older than 50: a systematic review with meta-analysis
TL;DR: Clinicians are provided with evidence to recommend that patients obtain both aerobic and resistance exercise of at least moderate intensity on as many days of the week as feasible, in line with current exercise guidelines, to improve cognitive function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between Physical Functionality and Falls Risk in Community-Living Older Adults
TL;DR: While increasing age is the strongest single predictor of increasing falls risk, poorer physical functionality was strongly, independently related to greater falls risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognition in breast cancer survivors: A pilot study of interval and continuous exercise.
Joseph M. Northey,Kate L. Pumpa,Clare Quinlan,Ashley Ikin,Kellie Toohey,Disa J. Smee,Ben Rattray +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that HIIT may be an effective exercise intervention to improve cognitive performance, cerebrovascular function and aerobic fitness in breast cancer survivors and considering the sample size is small, these results should be confirmed through larger clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
No Improvement of Repeated-Sprint Performance With Dietary Nitrate
TL;DR: The findings suggest that dietary nitrate is not beneficial for improving repeated-sprint performance, at least when such sprints are near-maximal and frequent in nature, and supports the suggestion that at greater exercise intensities nitrate does not have an ergogenic effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Relationship between Diet Quality and Falls Risk, Physical Function and Body Composition in Older Adults
TL;DR: The relationships between dietary quality and body composition, falls risk and physical function in older community dwelling, higher functioning adults appear to be gender specific.
