Chao Suo,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Nicola J. Gates,Nicola J. Gates,Wei Wen,Perminder S. Sachdev,Henry Brodaty,Nidhi Saigal,Guy C Wilson,Jacinda Meiklejohn,Nalin Singh,Bernhard T. Baune,Michael K. Baker,Michael K. Baker,Nasim Foroughi,Yi Wang,Yi Wang,Yorgi Mavros,Amit Lampit,Isabella Hoi Kei Leung,Michael Valenzuela +21 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that physical and cognitive training depend on discrete neuronal mechanisms for their therapeutic efficacy, information that may help develop targeted lifestyle-based preventative strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does Strength-Promoting Exercise Confer Unique Health Benefits? A Pooled Analysis of Data on 11 Population Cohorts With All-Cause, Cancer, and Cardiovascular Mortality Endpoints
Emmanuel Stamatakis,I-Min Lee,Jason A. Bennie,Jonathan Freeston,Mark Hamer,Gary O'Donovan,Ding Ding,Adrian Bauman,Yorgi Mavros +8 more
TL;DR: The results support promoting adherence to the strength exercise guidelines over and above the generic physical activity targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of resistance exercise on sleep: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Ana Kovacevic,Yorgi Mavros,Jennifer J. Heisz,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh +4 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that resistance exercise may be an effective intervention to improve sleep quality as well as its efficacy in clinical cohorts who commonly experience sleep disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mediation of Cognitive Function Improvements by Strength Gains After Resistance Training in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment: Outcomes of the Study of Mental and Resistance Training
Yorgi Mavros,Nicola J. Gates,Guy C Wilson,Nidhi Jain,Jacinda Meiklejohn,Henry Brodaty,Wei Wen,Nalin Singh,Bernard T. Baune,Chao Suo,Chao Suo,Chao Suo,Michael K. Baker,Michael K. Baker,Nasim Foroughi,Yi Wang,Perminder S. Sachdev,Michael Valenzuela,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh +19 more
TL;DR: To determine whether improvements in aerobic capacity (VO2peak) and strength after progressive resistance training (PRT) mediate improvements in cognitive function, a large number of subjects were randomly assigned to either theACE or PRT groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in insulin resistance and HbA1c are related to exercise-mediated changes in body composition in older adults with type 2 diabetes: Interim outcomes from the GREAT2DO Trial.
Yorgi Mavros,Shelley Kay,Kylie A. Anderberg,Micahel K Baker,Micahel K Baker,Yi Wang,Yi Wang,Renru Zhao,Jacinda Meiklejohn,Mike Climstein,Anthony J O'Sullivan,Nathan De Vos,Bernhard T. Baune,Steven N. Blair,David Simar,Kieron Rooney,Nalin Singh,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh +17 more
TL;DR: Improvements in metabolic health in older adults with type 2 diabetes were mediated through improvements in body composition only if they were achieved through high-intensity PRT.
