Aim:
To evaluate the effects of exercise training on patients with osteosarcopenic adiposity (OSA).
Methods:
A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on exercise treatment for OSA patients. The search included both Chinese and English literature up to April 2024. Reference lists and grey literature were also reviewed. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software.
Results:
A total of 7 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Exercise interventions significantly improved bone mineral density (BMD) (MD = 0.0195, 95% CI: 0 to 0.02, P = 0.03), body fat (BF) (MD = -4.0, 95% CI: -5.46 to -2.54, P < 0.01), and hand grip strength (HGS) (MD = 3.13, 95% CI: 0.72 to 5.54, P = 0.01) in patients with OSA. However, no significant differences were observed in skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) (MD = 0.12, 95% CI: -0.26 to 0.50, P = 0.55), gait speed (GS) (SMD = 0.75, 95% CI: -1.26 to 2.76, P = 0.47), or C-reactive protein (CRP) (MD = -0.23, 95% CI: -0.90 to 0.44, P = 0.50).
Conclusion:
Exercise interventions can effectively improve clinical symptoms and signs in OSA patients to varying degrees, highlighting the importance of exercise in the management of OSA.

01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
01:20Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
