Rev Peru Med Exp Salud Publica 2024; 41:146-155. [PMID: 39166637 PMCID: PMC11300696 DOI: 10.17843/rpmesp.2024.412.12751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE. To determine the effects of aerobic exercise on the components of the metabolic syndrome in older adult diabetic patients by means of a systematic review with meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We used the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Cochrane library, Web of Science databases and the Google Scholar search engine. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Two reviewers independently determined whether studies met the inclusion criteria, extracted data, and used the Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB 2). Quantitative analyses were performed in R v 4.0.5, using random effects. RESULTS. We identified 8697 studies, of which 7 RCTs were included in the qualitative synthesis. Most studies were assessed as having a high or low RoB in at least three domains. Meta-analysis showed that aerobic exercise was effective in improving glucose levels (standardized mean difference [SMD]: -1.04; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] -1.27, -0.81), systolic blood pressure (SMD: -0.79; 95% CI: -1.02, -0.56), diastolic blood pressure (SMD: -0.75; 95% CI: -0.98, -0.52), glycosylated hemoglobin (SMD: -0.57, 95% CI: -0.77, -0.37), HDL (SMD: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.55), triglycerides (SMD: -0.26, 95% CI: -0.47, -0.06). No significant adverse effects were reported. The level of certainty of the results was low for fasting glucose, moderate for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and very low for the other outcomes, in addition to few adverse effects. However, these results should be interpreted with caution due to the use of surrogate markers. CONCLUSIONS. Aerobic exercise was shown to have a significant improvement in the components of the metabolic syndrome in older diabetic adults, and no major adverse effects were reported. However, we recommend more RCTs with longer intervention time to establish the impact on symptoms and complications. Motivation for the study. The motivation for this research arises from the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus around the world. Despite their impact, there is a gap in knowledge regarding non-pharmacological interventions in older adults aimed at improving the metabolic profile of these patients. Main findings. Our results show a significant improvement in glucose, blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, HDL, and triglyceride levels after the aerobic exercise intervention. In addition, no significant adverse effects were observed. Public health implications. Physical exercise is an affordable and globally available strategy. It improves the metabolic profile of older adult patients with metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
During hypoxic exposure, humans with high-affinity hemoglobin (and compensatory polycythemia) have blunted increases in heart rate compared with healthy humans with typical oxyhemoglobin dissociation curves. This response may be associated with altered autonomic control of heart rate. Our hypothesis-generating study aimed to investigate cardiac baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability among nine humans with high-affinity hemoglobin [6 females, O2 partial pressure at 50% [Formula: see text] (P50) = 16 ± 1 mmHg] compared with 12 humans with typical affinity hemoglobin (6 F, P50 = 26 ± 1 mmHg). Participants breathed normal room air for a 10-min baseline, followed by 20 min of isocapnic hypoxic exposure, designed to lower the arterial partial pressure O2 ([Formula: see text]) to ∼50 mmHg. Beat-by-beat heart rate and arterial blood pressure were recorded. Data were averaged in 5-min periods throughout the hypoxia exposure, beginning with the last 5 min of baseline in normoxia. Spontaneous cardiac baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability were determined using the sequence method and the time and frequency domain analyses, respectively. Cardiac baroreflex sensitivity was lower in humans with high-affinity hemoglobin than controls at baseline and during isocapnic hypoxic exposure (normoxia: 7 ± 4 vs. 16 ± 10 ms/mmHg, hypoxia minutes 15-20: 4 ± 3 vs. 14 ± 11 ms/mmHg; group effect: P = 0.02, high-affinity hemoglobin vs. control, respectively). Heart rate variability calculated in both the time (standard deviation of the N-N interval) and frequency (low frequency) domains was lower in humans with high-affinity hemoglobin than in controls (all P < 0.05). Our data suggest that humans with high-affinity hemoglobin may have attenuated cardiac autonomic function.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in the development of countermeasures to attenuate the negative consequences of prolonged exposure to microgravity on astronauts’ bodies. Deconditioning of several organ systems during flight includes losses to cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle mass, bone density and strength. Similar deconditioning also occurs during prolonged bedrest; any protracted time immobile or inactive, especially for unwell older adults (e.g., confined to hospital beds), can lead to similar detrimental health consequences. Due to limitations in physiological research in space, the six-degree head-down tilt bedrest protocol was developed as ground-based analogue to spaceflight. A variety of exercise countermeasures have been tested as interventions to limit detrimental changes and physiological deconditioning of the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Canadian Space Agency recently provided funding for research focused on Understanding the Health Impact of Inactivity to study the efficacy of exercise countermeasures in a 14-day randomized clinical trial of six-degree head-down tilt bedrest study in older adults aged 55–65 years old (BROA). Here we will describe the development of a multi-modality countermeasure protocol for the BROA campaign that includes upper- and lower-body resistance exercise and head-down tilt cycle ergometry (high-intensity interval and continuous aerobic exercise training). We provide reasoning for the choice of these modalities following review of the latest available information on exercise as a countermeasure for inactivity and spaceflight-related deconditioning. In summary, this paper sets out to review up-to-date exercise countermeasure research from spaceflight and head-down bedrest studies, whilst providing support for the proposed research countermeasure protocols developed for the bedrest study in older adults.

Abstract
Background Humans display an age-related decline in cerebral blood flow and increase in blood pressure (BP), but changes in the underlying control mechanisms across the lifespan are less well understood. We aimed to; (1) examine the impact of age, sex, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and cardio-respiratory fitness on dynamic cerebral autoregulation and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity, and (2) explore the relationships between dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (cBRS). Methods 206 participants aged 18–70 years were stratified into age categories. Cerebral blood flow velocity was measured using transcranial Doppler ultrasound. Repeated squat-stand manoeuvres were performed (0.10 Hz), and transfer function analysis was used to assess dCA and cBRS. Multivariable linear regression was used to examine the influence of age, sex, CVD risk, and cardio-respiratory fitness on dCA and cBRS. Linear models determined the relationship between dCA and cBRS. Results Age, sex, CVD risk, and cardio-respiratory fitness did not impact dCA normalised gain, phase, or coherence with minimal change in all models (P > 0.05). cBRS gain was attenuated with age when adjusted for sex and CVD risk (young–older; β = − 2.86 P < 0.001) along with cBRS phase (young–older; β = − 0.44, P < 0.001). There was no correlation between dCA normalised gain and phase with either parameter of cBRS. Conclusion Ageing was associated with a decreased cBRS, but dCA appears to remain unchanged. Additionally, our data suggest that sex, CVD risk, and cardio-respiratory fitness have little effect.

Abstract
The various manifestations of diabetic neuropathy, including distal symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), are among the most prevalent chronic complications of diabetes. Major clinical complications of diabetic neuropathies, such as neuropathic pain, chronic foot ulcers, and orthostatic hypotension, are associated with considerable morbidity, increased mortality, and diminished quality of life. Despite the substantial individual and socioeconomic burden, the strategies to diagnose and treat diabetic neuropathies remain insufficient. This review provides an overview of the current clinical aspects and recent advances in exploring local and systemic biomarkers of both DSPN and CAN assessed in human studies (such as biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress) for better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and for improving early detection. Current therapeutic options for DSPN are (I) causal treatment, including lifestyle modification, optimal glycemic control, and multifactorial risk intervention, (II) pharmacotherapy derived from pathogenetic concepts, and (III) analgesic treatment against neuropathic pain. Recent advances in each category are discussed, including non-pharmacological approaches, such as electrical stimulation. Finally, the current therapeutic options for cardiovascular autonomic complications are provided. These insights should contribute to a broader understanding of the various manifestations of diabetic neuropathies from both the research and clinical perspectives.

Abstract
Background Senescence refers to spontaneous and progressive irreversible degenerative changes in which both the physical and psychological power diminish significantly. Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease in the elderly. Several studies have been conducted regarding the effect of exercise on reducing the blood pressure of the elderly, which have found contradictory results. One of the uses of meta-analysis study is responding to these assumptions and resolving the discrepancies. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to determine the impact of exercise on the blood pressure of older adults. Method In this research, in order to find electronic published papers from 1992 to 2019, the papers published in both domestic and foreign databases including SID, MagIran, IranMedex, IranDox, Gogole Scholar, Cohrane, Embase, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science (ISI) were used. Heterogeneity index between the studies was determined based on Cochran test Q(c) and I2. Considering existence of heterogeneity, random effects model was employed to estimate the standardized subtraction of the mean exercise test score for reduction of blood pressure in the older adults across the intervention group before and after the test. Results In this meta-analysis and systematic review, eventually 69 papers met the inclusion criteria. The total number of participants was 2272 in the pre- and postintervention groups when examining the systolic changes and 2252 subjects in the pre- and postintervention groups when inspecting the diastolic changes. The standardized mean difference in examining the systolic changes before the intervention was 137.1 ± 8.09 and 132.98 ± 0.96 after the intervention; when exploring the diastolic changes, the pre- and postintervention values were 80.3 ± 0.85 and 76.0 ± 6.56, respectively, where these differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). Conclusion The results of this study indicated that exercise leads to significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Accordingly, regular exercise can be part of the treatment plan for hypertensive elderly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An intrinsic pain regulatory system is modulated by both cardiovascular dynamics that influence baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and is diminished in fibromyalgia (FM). Baroreceptors relay cardiovascular output to the dorsal medial nucleus tractus solitarius reflex arcs that regulate pain, sleep, anxiety, and blood pressure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of systolic extinction training (SET), which combines operant treatment (OT) with baroreflex training (BRT). BRT delivers peripheral electrical stimulation within a few milliseconds of the systolic or diastolic peak in the cardiac cycle. In addition, we compared SET to OT-transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) independent of the cardiac cycle and aerobic exercise (AE)-BRT in FM patients with elevated blood pressure responses to stress. METHODS Sixty-two female patients with FM were randomized to receive either SET (n = 21), OT-TENS (n = 20), or AE-BRT (n = 21). Outcome assessments were performed before treatment (T1), after 5 weeks of treatment (T2), and after the 12-month follow-up (T3). RESULTS In contrast to patients receiving OT-TENS or AE-BRT, those receiving SET reported a significantly greater reduction in pain and pain interference (all P < 0.01) that was maintained at the 12-month follow-up. Clinically meaningful pain reduction at T3 was achieved in 82% of patients in the SET group, 39% of those in the OT-TENS group, and only 14% of those in the AE-BRT group. Patients in the SET group showed a significant increase (57%) in BRS following treatment, while neither the AE-BRT group or the OT-TENS group showed significant changes over time. CONCLUSION SET resulted in statistically significant, clinically meaningful, and long-lasting pain remission and interference compared to OT-TENS and AE-BRT. These results suggest that BRS modification is the primary mechanism of improvement. Replication of our results using larger samples and extension to other chronic pain conditions appear to be warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (cvBRS) reflects the efficiency of modulating heart rate in response to changes in systolic blood pressure. International guidelines recommend that older adults achieve at least 150 min of moderate-vigorous physical activity per week. We tested the hypothesis that older adults who achieve these guidelines will exhibit greater cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity versus those who do not. METHODS A cross-sectional comparison of older adults who did (active, 66 ± 5 years, 251 ± 79 min/week; n = 19) and who did not (inactive, 68 ± 7 years, 89 ± 32 min/week; n = 17) meet the activity guidelines. Beat-by-beat R-R intervals (electrocardiography) and systolic blood pressure (finger photoplethysmography) were recorded. Spontaneous cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity was assessed using the sequence technique from 10 min of resting supine data. Cardiovagal baroreflex function was also measured during early phase II and phase IV of the Valsalva maneuver. Peak oxygen uptake was determined during maximal cycle ergometry. Moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity and time spent sedentary were assessed over 5 days using the PiezoRx and activPAL, respectively. RESULTS Groups had similar peak oxygen uptake (active 25 ± 9 vs. inactive 22 ± 6 ml/kg/min; p = 0.218) and sedentary time (active 529 ± 60 vs. inactive 568 ± 88 min/day; p = 0.130). However, the active group had greater (all, p < 0.019) cvBRS at rest (9.1 ± 2.7 vs. 5.0 ± 1.9 ms/mmHg), during phase II (8.2 ± 3.8 vs. 5.4 ± 2.1 ms/mmHg), and during phase IV (9.9 ± 3.8 vs. 5.6 ± 1.6 ms/mmHg). In the pooled sample, moderate-vigorous physical activity was positively correlated (all, p < 0.015) with spontaneous (R = 0.427), phase II (R = 0.447), and phase IV cvBRS (R = 0.629). CONCLUSIONS Independent of aerobic fitness and sedentary time, meeting activity guidelines was associated with superior cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity at rest and during the Valsalva maneuver in older adults.

Abstract
The purpose of the present review is to systematically evaluate the existing literature on the effects of resistance training (RT) on cardiac autonomic control in animal models. Electronic search was conducted in Pubmed, PEDro and Scopus databases from inception till June 2018. Randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental trials which investigated the effects of RT (for at least 4 weeks) on cardiac autonomic control (assessed either by heart rate variability, baroreflex sensitivity or post-exercise heart rate recovery) in animal models were included. Out of the total 3,442 studies retrieved by the electronic search, 9 were found to be suitable as per the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. The majority of these studies (6 out of 9) demonstrated improvement in cardiovascular autonomic control after RT in animals; however, three studies did not illustrate any significant change. Standardised mean differences (SMD) showed a significant effect of RT on root mean square of successive differences between adjacent inter-beat (R-R) intervals (RMSSD) [SMD (confidence interval (CI)) = 4.56 (2.89, 6.23); P<0.0001] and bradycardic response to change in arterial blood pressure [SMD (CI)=-2.27 (-4.50, -0.03; P=0.05)] whereas no significant change was observed for other variables of cardiac autonomic control post-RT. The present systematic review do not give a clear conclusion regarding the effect of RT on cardiac autonomic control in animal models and thus highlight the need for good quality research in future.

Abstract
PURPOSE To systematically evaluate the literature on the effects of resistance training (RT) on cardiac autonomic control in healthy and diseased individuals. METHODS Electronic databases Pubmed, PEDro, and Scopus were systematically searched from their inception up to June 2018. Randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental trials, and cross-over controlled trials investigating the effect of RT (of at least 4 weeks duration) on cardiac autonomic control assessed either by linear or non-linear measures of heart rate variability (HRV), baroreflex sensitivity, or post-exercise heart rate recovery were included. Of the studies retrieved, 28 were included in the systematic review. Meta-analysis was performed on 21 studies of the total 28 studies. RESULTS Quality and characteristic assessment revealed fair quality evidence. The majority of literature on healthy humans suggested no change in cardiac autonomic control following RT. Standardized mean differences (SMD) showed a significant effect of RT on root mean square of successive differences between adjacent inter-beat (R-R) intervals (RMSSD) [SMD 0.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.20-1.73; p = 0.01], ratio of low- to high-frequency power of HRV (LF/HF ratio; SMD -0.72, 95% CI -1.03 to -0.42; p < 0.00001), standard deviation of the instantaneous beat-to-beat variability (SD1; SMD 1.78, 95% CI 1.07-2.49, p < 0.00001), and sample entropy (SMD 1.17, 95% CI 0.36-1.97, p = 0.005) in diseased individuals. CONCLUSION This rigorous systematic analysis revealed that RT has no or minimal effects on cardiac autonomic control of healthy individuals, but RT leads to improvement in cardiac autonomic control of diseased individuals.

Effects of aerobic or resistance exercise training on cardiovascular autonomic function of subjects with type 2 diabetes: A pilot study. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2018; 28:226-233.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Both aerobic (AER) and resistance (RES) training improve metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, information on the effects of these training modalities on cardiovascular autonomic control is limited. Our aim was to compare the effects of AER and RES training on cardiovascular autonomic function in these subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiovascular autonomic control was assessed by Power Spectral Analysis (PSA) of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and baroreceptors function indexes in 30 subjects with T2DM, randomly assigned to aerobic or resistance training for 4 months. In particular, PSA of HRV measured the Low Frequency (LF) and High Frequency (HF) bands of RR variations, expression of prevalent sympathetic and parasympathetic drive, respectively. Furthermore, we measured the correlation occurring between systolic blood pressure and heart rate during a standardized Valsalva maneuver using two indexes, b2 and b4, considered an expression of baroreceptor sensitivity and peripheral vasoactive adaptations during predominant sympathetic and parasympathetic drive, respectively. After training, the LF/HF ratio, which summarizes the sympatho-vagal balance in HRV control, was similarly decreased in the AER and RES groups. After AER, b2 and b4 significantly improved. After RES, changes of b2 were of borderline significance, whereas changes of b4 did not reach statistical significance. However, comparison of changes in baroreceptor sensitivity indexes between groups did not show statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION Both aerobic and resistance training improve several indices of the autonomic control of the cardiovascular system in patients with T2DM. Although these improvements seem to occur to a similar extent in both training modalities, some differences cannot be ruled out. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT01182948, clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
The incidence of hypertension increases with advancing age and represents a significant burden of disease. Lifestyle modification represents the first-line intervention in treatment algorithms; however, the majority of evidence for this comes from studies involving young participants using interventions that may not always be feasible in the elderly. This manuscript presents a systematic review of all randomized controlled trials involving participants with a mean age of 65 or over investigating nonpharmacological strategies to reduce blood pressure (BP). Fifty-three randomized controlled trials were included. The majority of interventions described aerobic exercise training, dynamic resistance exercise training, or combined aerobic and dynamic resistance exercise training (COM), with limited studies reporting isometric exercise training or alternative lifestyle strategies. Aerobic exercise training, dynamic resistance exercise training, COM, and isometric exercise training all elicited significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic BP, with no additional benefit of COM compared with single modality exercise training. Three months of traditional exercise-based lifestyle intervention may produce a reduction in BP of approximately 5 mmHg systolic and 3 mmHg diastolic in older individuals, similar to that expected in younger individuals.

Abstract
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It has been found to independently predict all cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. It remains unclear whether exercise training could improve autonomic control in T2DM patients. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the effects of exercise training on cardiac autonomic function in T2DM patients. Electronic databases (MEDLINE, CENTRAL, PEDro, Scopus and Web of science) were systematically searched to retrieve relevant evidence. Clinical trials administering exercise training for at least 4 weeks and examining either heart rate variability (HRV), baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), heart rate recovery (HRR) as outcome measures were eligible. Eighteen articles were found to be relevant and were then assessed for characteristics and quality. Fifteen studies out of 18 found that exercise training leads to positive improvements in autonomic function of T2DM patients. Exercise participation enhances cardiac autonomic function of type 2 diabetics and therefore should be implemented in their management programs.

Abstract
We tested the hypotheses that older adults with cardiovascular co-morbidities will demonstrate greater changes in body temperature and exaggerated changes in blood pressure before initiating thermal behavior. We studied twelve healthy younger adults (Younger, 25 ± 4 y) and six older adults ('At Risk', 67 ± 4 y) taking prescription medications for at least two of the following conditions: hypertension, type II diabetes, hypercholesterolemia. Subjects underwent a 90-min test in which they voluntarily moved between cool (18.1 ± 1.8°C, RH: 29 ± 5%) and warm (40.2 ± 0.3°C, RH: 20 ± 0%) rooms when they felt 'too cool' (C→W) or 'too warm' (W→C). Mean skin and intestinal temperatures and blood pressure were measured. Data were analyzed as a change from pretest baseline. Changes in mean skin temperature were not different between groups at C→W (Younger: +0.2 ± 0.8°C, 'At Risk': +0.7 ± 1.8°C, P = 0.51) or W→C (Younger: +2.7 ± 0.6°C, 'At Risk': +2.9 ± 1.9°C, P = 0.53). Changes in intestinal temperature were not different at C→W (Younger: 0.0 ± 0.1°C, 'At Risk': +0.1 ± 0.2, P = 0.11), but differed at W→C (-0.1 ± 0.2°C vs. +0.1 ± 0.3°C, P = 0.02). Systolic pressure at C→W increased (Younger: +10 ± 9 mmHg, 'At Risk': +24 ± 17 mmHg) and at W→C decreased (Younger: -4 ± 13 mmHg, 'At Risk': -23 ± 19 mmHg) to a greater extent in 'At Risk' (P ≤ 0.05). Differences were also apparent for diastolic pressure at C→W (Younger: -2 ± 4 mmHg, 'At Risk': +17 ± 23 mmHg, P < 0.01), but not at W→C (Younger Y: +4 ± 13 mmHg, 'At Risk': -1 ± 6 mmHg, P = 0.29). Despite little evidence for differential control of thermal behavior, the initiation of behavior in 'at risk' older adults is preceded by exaggerated blood pressure responses.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the current knowledge on the relationship of physical activity, exercise, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) based on epidemiological, clinical, and interventional studies. RECENT FINDINGS The prevalence of CAN increases with age and duration of diabetes. Further risk factors for CAN comprise poor glycemic control, dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity, hypertension, and the presence of diabetic complications. CAN has been also linked to reduced CRF. We recently showed that CRF parameters (e.g., maximal oxidative capacity or oxidative capacity at the anaerobic threshold) are associated with cardiac autonomic function in patients recently diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Exercise interventions have shown that physical activity can increase cardiovagal activity and reduce sympathetic overactivity. In particular, long-term and regularly, but also supervised, performed endurance and high-intense and high-volume exercise improves cardiac autonomic function in patients with type 2 diabetes. By contrast, the evidence in those with type 1 diabetes and also in individuals with prediabetes or metabolic syndrome is weaker. Overall, the studies reviewed herein addressing the question whether favorably modulating the autonomic nervous system may improve CRF during exercise programs support the therapeutic concept to promote physical activity and to achieve physical fitness. However, high-quality exercise interventions, especially in type 1 diabetes and metabolic syndrome including prediabetes, are further required to better understand the relationship between physical activity, fitness, and cardiac autonomic function.

Abstract
Aims To establish if aerobic exercise training is associated with beneficial effects on clinical outcomes and glycaemic profile in people with type II diabetes. Methods A systematic search was conducted to identify studies through a search of MEDLINE (1985 to Sept 1, 2016, Cochrane Controlled Trials Registry (1966 to Sept 1, 2016), CINAHL, SPORTDiscus and Science Citation Index. The search strategy included a mix of MeSH and free text terms for related key concepts. Searches were limited to prospective randomized or controlled trials of aerobic exercise training in humans with type II diabetes, aged >18 years, lasting >2 weeks. Results Our analysis included 27 studies (38 intervention groups) totalling 1372 participants, 737 exercise and 635 from control groups. The studies contain data from 39,435 patient-hours of exercise training. Our analyses showed improvements with exercise in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C%) MD: −0.71%, 95% CI −1.11, −0.31; p value = 0.0005. There were significant moderator effects; for every additional week of exercise HbA1C% reduces between 0.009 and 0.04%, p = 0.002. For those exercising at vigorous intensity peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2) increased a further 0.64 and 5.98 ml/kg/min compared to those doing low or moderate intensity activity. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was also improved with exercise MD: −1.02, 95% CI −1.77, −0.28; p value = 0.007; as was fasting serum glucose MD: −12.53 mmol/l, 95% CI −18.94, −6.23; p value <0.0001; and serum MD: −10.39 IU, 95% CI −17.25, −3.53; p value = 0.003. Conclusions Our analysis support existing guidelines that for those who can tolerate it, exercise at higher intensity may offer superior fitness benefits and longer program duration will optimize reductions in HbA1C%.

Abstract
Aging is intrinsically associated with a progressive decline in muscle strength and mass, and aerobic capacity. This contributes to reduced mobility and impaired quality of life (QoL) among seniors. Regular physical activity, and more particularly aerobic training (AT), has demonstrated benefits on adults' health. The aim of this review was to assess the current level of evidence regarding the health benefits of AT in the population aged 70 years and over. A comprehensive, systematic database search for manuscripts was performed. Two reviewers independently assessed interventional studies for potential inclusion. Cardiovascular, metabolic, functional, cognitive, and QoL outcomes were targeted. Fifty-three studies were included totalling 2051 seniors aged 70 years and over. Studies selected were divided into 5 categories according to their main outcomes: cardiovascular function (34 studies), metabolic outcomes (26 studies), functional fitness (19 studies), cognitive functions (8 studies), and QoL (3 studies). With a good level of evidence but a wide heterogeneity between study designs, a significant and beneficial effect of AT was measured on the 5 outcomes. For QoL results showed a significant but slighter improvement. This systematic review highlights the benefits of AT on seniors' health outcome such as cardiovascular, functional, metabolic, cognitive, and QoL outcomes although the optimal program remains unclear. When more studies regarding this specific population are needed to determine the most favourable exercise program, clinicians should nevertheless encourage older adults over 70 to participate in AT programs to favour active and healthy ageing.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction, evaluated as baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), could be acutely corrected by slow breathing or oxygen administration in patients with type 1 diabetes, thus suggesting a functional component of the disorder. We tested this hypothesis in patients with the type 2 diabetes with or without renal impairment. METHODS Twenty-six patients with type 2 diabetes (aged 61.0 ± 0.8 years, mean ± SEM; duration of diabetes 10.5 ± 2 years, BMI 29.9 ± 0.7 kg/m(2), GFR 68.1 ± 5.6 ml/min) and 24 healthy controls (aged 58.5 ± 1.0 years) were studied. BRS was obtained from recordings of RR interval and systolic blood pressure fluctuations during spontaneous and during slow, deep (6 breaths/min) controlled breathing in conditions of normoxia or hyperoxia (5 l/min oxygen). RESULTS During spontaneous breathing, diabetic patients had lower RR interval and lower BRS compared with the control subjects (7.1 ± 1.2 vs. 12.6 ± 2.0 ms/mmHg, p < 0.025). Deep breathing and oxygen administration significantly increased arterial saturation, reduced RR interval and increased BRS in both groups (to 9.6 ± 1.8 and 15.4 ± 2.4 ms/mmHg, respectively, p < 0.05, hyperoxia vs. normoxia). Twelve diabetic patients affected by chronic diabetic kidney disease (DKD) presented a significant improvement in the BRS during slow breathing and hyperoxia (p < 0.025 vs. spontaneous breathing during normoxia). CONCLUSIONS Autonomic dysfunction present in patients with type 2 diabetes can be partially reversed by slow breathing, suggesting a functional role of hypoxia, also in patients with DKD. Interventions known to relieve tissue hypoxia and improve autonomic function, like physical activity, may be useful in the prevention and management of complications in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUÇÃO: Os programas de treinamento aeróbio têm demonstrado bons resultados no controle das variáveis de risco cardiovascular em indivíduos diabéticos; no entanto, os efeitos nos níveis de homocisteína não estão claros. Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos do treinamento aeróbio nos níveis plasmáticos de homocisteína e fatores de risco cardiovascular em indivíduos diabéticos do tipo 2.MÉTODOS: Participaram do estudo 15 mulheres com diabetes do tipo 2 e média de idade 68,86 ± 11,2 anos. Todos os indivíduos da amostra foram submetidos a um teste de avaliação do consumo máximo de oxigénio (VO2máx) seguindo o protocolo de Bruce, avaliação da pressão arterial e avaliação antropométrica. Foi também efetuada uma coleta de 10 ml de sangue (veia antecubital) em jejum de no mínimo 12 horas. O plasma foi separado e processado para posterior análise da concentração de homocisteína (mmol/l), colesterol total (mg/dl), lipoproteína de muito baixa densidade (VLDL) (mg/dl), lipoproteína de baixa densidade (LDL) (mg/dl), lipoproteína de alta densidade (HDL) (mg/dl), triglicérides (mg/dl) e glicemia (mg/dl). Os testes foram feitos antes e após 16 semanas de treinamento aeróbio. O programa foi realizado com 2 sessões de treinamento não consecutivas por semana, com intensidade compreendida entre 60% e 70% da frequência cardíaca máxima e duração de 75 minutos por sessão.RESULTADOS: Os resultados observados revelam que o programa de exercício físico induziu uma diminuição não significativa da concentração plasmática de homocisteína. Foram ainda identificadas melhorias do perfil lipídico e do Consumo Máximo de Oxigênio (VO2máx), diminuição da glicemia, da pressão arterial diastólica, do percentual de gordura e massa gorda.CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que o programa de treinamento aeróbio reduziu o risco cardiovascular em indivíduos diabéticos do tipo 2, embora a alteração da homocisteína não tenha sido significativa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When two or more cardiovascular risk factors occur in one individual, they may interact in a multiplicative way promoting cardiovascular disease. Exercise has proven to be effective in controlling individual risk factors but its effect on overall cardiovascular risk remains uncertain. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of exercise training in people with increased cardiovascular risk but without a concurrent cardiovascular disease on general cardiovascular mortality, incidence of cardiovascular events, and total cardiovascular risk. SEARCH METHODS A search was conducted in CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library 2013, Issue 10 of 12), Ovid MEDLINE (1946 to week 2 November 2013), EMBASE Classic + EMBASE via Ovid (1947 to Week 47 2013), CINAHL Plus with Full Text via EBSCO (to November 2013), Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) (1970 to 22 November 2013), and Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S) (1990 to 22 November 2013) on Web of Science (Thomson Reuters). We did not apply any date or language restrictions. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomized clinical trials comparing aerobic or resistance exercise training versus no exercise or any standard approach that does not include exercise. Participants had to be 18 years of age or older with an average 10-year Framingham risk score of 10% for cardiovascular disease over 10 years, or with two or more cardiovascular risk factors, and no history of cardiovascular disease. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS The selection of studies and subsequent data collection process were conducted by two independent authors. Disagreements were solved by consensus. The results were reported descriptively. It was not possible to conduct a meta-analysis because of the high heterogeneity and high risk of bias in the included studies. MAIN RESULTS A total of four studies were included that involved 823 participants, 412 in the exercise group and 411 in the control group. Follow-up of participants ranged from 16 weeks to 6 months. Overall, the included studies had a high risk of selection, detection, and attrition bias. Meta-analysis was not possible because the interventions (setting, type and intensity of exercise) and outcome measurements were not comparable, and the risk of bias in the identified studies was high. No study assessed cardiovascular or all‑cause mortality or cardiovascular events as individual outcomes. One or more of the studies reported on total cardiovascular risk, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life but the available evidence was not sufficient to determine the effectiveness of exercise. Adverse events and smoking cessation were not assessed in the included studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Evidence to date is entirely limited to small studies with regard to sample size, short-term follow-up, and high risk of methodological bias, which makes it difficult to derive any conclusions on the efficacy or safety of aerobic or resistance exercise on groups with increased cardiovascular risk or in individuals with two or more coexisting risk factors. Further randomized clinical trials assessing controlled exercise programmes on total cardiovascular risk in individuals are warranted.

Abstract
Physical activity is a key element in the prevention and management of obesity and diabetes. Regular physical activity efficiently supports diet-induced weight loss, improves glycemic control, and can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Furthermore, physical activity positively affects lipid profile, blood pressure, reduces the rate of cardiovascular events and associated mortality, and restores the quality of life in type 2 diabetes. However, recent studies have documented that a high percentage of the cardiovascular benefits of exercise cannot be attributed solely to enhanced cardiovascular risk factor modulation. Obesity in concert with diabetes is characterized by sympathetic overactivity and the progressive loss of cardiac parasympathetic influx. These are manifested via different pathogenetic mechanisms, including hyperinsulinemia, visceral obesity, subclinical inflammation and increased thrombosis. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy is an underestimated risk factor for the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with obesity and diabetes. The same is true for the role of physical exercise in the restoration of the heart cardioprotective autonomic modulation in these individuals. This review addresses the interplay of cardiac autonomic function in obesity and diabetes, and focuses on the importance of exercise in improving cardiac autonomic dysfunction.

Abstract
INTRODUÇÃO: Hipertensão arterial é uma condição mórbida presente em grande parte dos adultos. Estudos evidenciam que exercícios físicos de moderada intensidade e curta duração têm efeitos satisfatórios na redução da pressão arterial. OBJETIVO: Mensurar a duração do efeito hipotensor de uma única sessão de reabilitação cardíaca a partir da prática de exercício aeróbico de curta duração e moderada intensidade. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: O estudo foi prospectivo e quase-experimental. Participaram do estudo nove voluntários hipertensos e sedentários (cinco do sexo feminino e quatro do masculino), monitorizados pelo exame de medida ambulatorial da pressão arterial por 12 horas e 30 minutos. Foi realizada uma única sessão de treinamento aeróbico por dez minutos em bicicleta ergométrica numa intensidade moderada. RESULTADOS: Houve redução tanto na PAS (pressão arterial sistólica) como na PAD (pressão arterial diastólica) (ANOVA, p < 0,001) durante as 12 horas de estudo. CONCLUSÃO: Uma sessão de exercício físico de curta duração com intensidade moderada foi suficiente para reduzir os níveis pressóricos dos voluntários analisados por um período de 12 horas.

Abstract
Pioglitazone has been shown to reduce the occurrence of fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the mechanisms of such favorable effects remain speculative. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pioglitazone on arterial baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in 30 DM patients with recent MI. Patients were randomly assigned to those taking pioglitazone (n = 15) and those not taking pioglitazone (n = 15) at 4 weeks after the onset of MI. BRS, MSNA, calculated homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), and plasma adiponectin were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks. Pioglitazone increased plasma adiponectin (from 6.9 ± 3.3 μg/dL to 12.2 ± 7.1 μg/dL) and reduced HOMA-IR (from 4.0 ± 2.2 to 2.1 ± 0.9). In the pioglitazone group, MSNA decreased significantly (from 37 ± 7 bursts/min to 25 ± 8 bursts/min) and BRS increased significantly (from 6.7 ± 3.0 to 9.9 ± 3.2 ms/mm Hg) after 12 weeks. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between the change in MSNA and HOMA-IR (r = 0.6, P = 0.042). Thus, pioglitazone decreased the sympathetic nerve traffic through the improvement of insulin resistance in DM patients with recent MI, which indicate that the sympathoinhibitory effects of pioglitazone may, at least in part, have contributed to the beneficial effects of pioglitazone.

Abstract
Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is known to be attenuated by inspiration and all the original BRS methodologies took this into account by measuring only in expiration. Spontaneous sequence analysis (SSA) is a non-invasive clinical tool widely used to estimate BRS in Man but does not take breathing into account. We have therefore modified it to test whether it too can detect inspiratory attenuation. Traditional SSA is also entangled with issues of distinguishing causal from random relationships between blood pressure and heart period and of the optimum choice of data filter settings. We have also tested whether the sequences our modified SSA rejects do behave as random relationships and show the limitations of the absence of filter standardization. SSA was performed on eupneic data from 1 h periods in 20 healthy subjects. Applying SSA traditionally produced a mean BRS of 23 ± 3 ms mmHg(-1). After modification to measure breathing, SSA detected significant inspiratory attenuation (11 ± 1 ms mmHg(-1)), and the mean expiratory BRS was significantly higher (26 ± 5 ms mmHg(-1)). Traditional SSA therefore underestimates BRS by an amount (3 ms mmHg(-1)) as big as the major physiological and clinical factors known to alter BRS. We show that the sequences rejected by SSA do behave like random associations between pressure and period. We also show the minimal effect of the r(2) filter and the biases that some pressure and heart period filters can introduce. We discuss whether SSA might be improved by standardization of filter settings and by also measuring breathing.
