..Studies published in 1990s were evaluated for the possible dose response between the total volume of physical activity and the fitness and health outcomes, and for the characteristics of the dose response relations...

..These experiences suggest that physically active commuting to work offers substantial potential as a health-enhancing measure for working-age population...

..This exercise dose is probably close to the minimum to affect coronary risk factors in healthy postmenopausal women. To get a more pronounced and clinically relevant effect, a greater exercise dose is needed...

..The results support the concept that training, including high strain rates in versatile movements and high peak forces, is more effective in bone formation than training with a large number of low-force repetitions...

..Not only the local differences in bone composition but also the biomechanical aspects are important factors underlying these apparent changes in CSA at the studied skeletal sites...

..The purpose of this randomised controlled study was to evaluate, in premenopausal women, the effects of high-impact loading on several determinants osteoporotic fractures...

..3 (-0.9 to 0.3) for the femoral neck and 0 (-0.7 to 0.7) for the trochanter. Visual handicap seems to be a risk for lower BMD of the weight-bearing proximal femur, but not for lower BMD of the non-weight-bearing distal radius...

..4% to 4.0%), respectively. Decreased body weight was associated with higher bone loss in all measured bone sites. High calcium intake and better preservation of physical fitness were associated with a smaller decrease in femoral neck BMC...

..To investigate the independent associations and the possible interaction of body mass index (BMI), leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and perceived physical fitness and functional capability with the risk of mortality...

..in the playing-to-nonplaying arm differences in bone mineral content (BMC) and answer two questions: 1) Are training induced bone gains lost with decreased training? and 2) Are the possible bone changes related to the changes in training?..

..This study investigated the associations of smoking, excess alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity with the use of hospital care...

..Five of the nine fitness tests demonstrated plausible associations with PA patterns among adults suggesting activity-related validity. An exercise intervention study is needed to evaluate the sensitivity of the tests to fitness changes...

..In other words, exercise seemed more beneficial for additional bone mineral acquisition before menarche (i.e., during the growth spurt) rather than after it...

..2)% and 6.2 (SD 19.3)% in the first model and by 17.9 (SD 22.7)% and 6.6 (SD 19.8)% in the second during the steady-state exercise. It was concluded that at least gender and body weight should be included when HR is used to predict AEE...

..014) showed an independent association with IMT (R(2) = 0.10, p < 0.001). Our results show that oxLDL measured directly from plasma is independently associated with subclinical carotid artery atherosclerosis in middle-aged men...

..Several studies support the hypothesis that oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) promotes atherogenesis. Obesity is one of the risk factors of atherosclerosis, but it is not known whether obesity is related to LDL oxidation...

..A small oral dose of Scopolamine alone or in combination with Atenolol produced no marked cardiovascular strain in healthy men during a sauna bath...

..The net fat% change was -2.1% (95% CI-2.7, -1.4) in Group S1 and -1.7% (95% CI-2.3, -1.0) in Group S2. Exercise improved the maximal aerobic power and body composition equally when walking was performed in one or two daily bouts...

..In addition, a long duration of breast feeding was associated with a higher rate of bone loss from the distal radius...

..These tests provide reliable alternatives for assessing basic motor skills of non-sporting adults in the context of physical activity promotion...

..g., distal femur), a denser trabecular structure (more load-carrying area) may be sufficient and any substantial enlargement in bone size may not be necessary...

..The reverse effect in smokers implies that the ability of PON to protect against CAAD is influenced by cigarette smoking. The efficiency of this inhibition probably depends on the PON M/L55 genotype...
