A prospective cohort using Apple Watch data demonstrated meaningful increases in step count, standing time and gait speed after unilateral total knee arthroplasty, peaking at 6 months and persisting at 12 months.
In >13,000 older women followed ≈11 years, achieving ≥4,000 steps on as little as 1–2 days/week was linked to lower all‑cause mortality and CVD; higher daily step thresholds produced additional benefit, but associations were driven large
A meta-analysis of 23 RCTs (n≈1,265) found small but reliable increases in physical activity after hip or knee arthroplasty, driven by step-count gains and greater effects when interventions used wearable activity trackers, behaviour-change
In a 9-year OAI cohort analysis, baseline self-reported moderate physical activity was linked to lower knee replacement risk in KL grade 2 but to higher risk in KL >2; high activity showed no clear effect. Results support severity-tailor
A randomized trial shows that a six-month personalised community-based physical activity programme sustains physical activity improvements and functional performance post-pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients, though other health benefi
A 4-year longitudinal study reveals that long-duration, high-intensity lifetime walking is associated with reduced amyloid-β accumulation in older adults, suggesting a neuroprotective effect when initiated early in life.
Higher moderate-to-vigorous physical activity slows p-tau181 increase, a marker of Alzheimer’s pathology, but elevated p-tau181 diminishes exercise-related cognitive benefits in older adults.
This prospective Spanish cohort study reveals that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity enhances intrinsic capacity in older adults, while sedentary behavior impairs it, underscoring the role of active lifestyles in promoting healthy agei
Non-pharmacological interventions utilizing motivational strategies and behavior change techniques significantly enhance physical activity but not sedentary behavior in coronary heart disease patients, suggesting a critical focus area for c
An updated meta-analysis of 23 RCTs reveals that physical activity improves cardiorespiratory fitness and HDL cholesterol in adult kidney transplant recipients, suggesting important cardiovascular benefits despite current study limitations.
A 3-year randomized trial reveals that a weight-loss Mediterranean diet combined with physical activity helps prevent bone mineral density decline in older women with metabolic syndrome.
A randomized clinical trial demonstrates that customizable SMS counseling is as effective as human telephone counseling in increasing 12-month walking activity among inactive Hispanic or Latino/a adults, offering scalable options for public
A new study reveals that short bursts of vigorous ‘snack exercise’ totaling as little as 3–4 minutes daily can significantly reduce cardiovascular disease risk, especially among women.
Explore ten evidence-based lifestyle habits that significantly reduce cancer risk and empower your body’s natural defenses against cancer development.
Recent research reveals a U-shaped relationship between exercise and biological aging, showing that moderate exercise slows aging best, while inactivity or excessive exercise may accelerate it.
Children with chronic physical illnesses face higher risks of mental health issues, partly due to early-life constraints on social and physical activities. Encouraging active play and social engagement may reduce these risks.
A large Dutch cohort study reveals that substituting TV-watching time with physical activities or sleep significantly lowers major depression risk, especially in middle-aged adults, highlighting the mental health benefits of an active lifes
A recent survey reveals that most US cardiologists inconsistently adhere to lifestyle recommendations, especially dietary and physical activity guidelines, despite endorsing them for cardiovascular health.
A population-based study in Ethiopia reveals 7.3% of adults aged 40-69 face a 10-year cardiovascular disease risk ≥10%, influenced by urban residence, education, physical activity, employment status, and climate factors.
Obesity increases, while higher physical activity decreases, risk of subsequent neoplasms among childhood cancer survivors, highlighting lifestyle intervention potential for cancer prevention.
