Effect of resistance training on inflammatory markers of older adults: A meta-analysis.

TLDR
Anti‐inflammatory effects of RT were significant only for CRP with a tendency for a decrease in IL‐6 as well, and exploratory analyses suggested the reduction in inflammatory markers could be dependent on increases in muscle mass and higher volume of RT protocols.

Resistance Training for Older Adults: Position Statement From the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided to support recommendations for successful resistance training in older adults related to 4 parts: program design variables, physiological adaptations, functional benefits, and considerations for frailty, sarcopenia, and other chronic conditions.

Effects of acute and chronic exercise on immunological parameters in the elderly aged: can physical activity counteract the effects of aging?

TL;DR: The concept is that some lifestyle strategies such as high-intensity exercise training may prevent disease through the attenuation of immunosenescence, and the impact of these different exercise modes on immunological parameters, such as cytokine and lymphocyte concentration in elderly individuals.

Effects of aging and lifelong aerobic exercise on basal and exercise-induced inflammation

TL;DR: While aging led to a pro-inflammatory profile within blood and muscle, lifelong exercise partially prevented this and generally preserved the acute inflammatory response to exercise seen in young exercising men.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of physical activity and sedentary behaviors on frailty levels.

TL;DR: There is a need for more intervention studies which focus on increasing physical activity or minimizing sedentary time to manage frailty levels, and novel data suggest that individuals are less likely to meet physical activity guidelines and are more likely to accumulatesedentary time in prolonged bouts.

Strength Training Improves Metabolic Health Markers in Older Individual Regardless of Training Frequency.

TL;DR: It is suggested that having more than two resistance training sessions in a week could be of benefit in the management of body composition and lipid profile and the present study found no evidence that higher training frequency would induce greater benefit regarding inflammation markers or glycemic profile in healthy older adults.

Quantity and Quality of Exercise for Developing and Maintaining Cardiorespiratory, Musculoskeletal, and Neuromotor Fitness in Apparently Healthy Adults: Guidance for Prescribing Exercise

TL;DR: The recommended quantity and quality of exercise for developing and maintaining Cardiorespiratory and Muscular Fitness, and Flexibility in healthy adults is discussed in the position stand of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Position Stand.

Estimating the mean and variance from the median, range, and the size of a sample.

TL;DR: Two simple formulas are found that estimate the mean using the values of the median, low and high end of the range, and n (the sample size) and these hope to help meta-analysts use clinical trials in their analysis even when not all of the information is available and/or reported.

Exercise and physical activity for older adults

TL;DR: The evidence reviewed in this Position Stand is generally consistent with prior American College of Sports Medicine statements on the types and amounts of physical activity recommended for older adults as well as the recently published 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Increased adipose tissue expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human obesity and insulin resistance.

TL;DR: A role for the abnormal regulation of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of obesity-related insulin resistance is suggested as well as the effects of weight reduction by dietary treatment of obesity on the adipose expression of TNF-alpha mRNA.
