Journal ArticleDOI
Sitting time and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
TL;DR: These data demonstrate a dose-response association between sitting time and mortality from all causes and CVD, independent of leisure time physical activity and physicians should discourage sitting for extended periods.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The findings suggest mobility benefit from a structured, moderate-intensity physical activity program compared with a health education program reduced major mobility disability over 2.6 years among older adults at risk for disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Aerobic and Resistance Training on Hemoglobin A1c Levels in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
