The relationship between leisure-time physical activity and stress on workdays with special reference to heart rate variability analyses

2016

The purpose of this study was to investigate how physical activity (PA), cardio- respiratory fitness, and body composition are associated with objective heart rate variability (HRV)-based indicators of stress and recovery on workdays. Additionally, the association of subjective self-reported stress with HRV-based stress was investigated. Samples of 81 healthy men (age 26–40 years), and 16 275 Finnish employees (6863 men and 9412 women; age 18–65 years) were assessed in the cross-sectional analyses. A sample of 221 overweight psychologically distressed individuals (36 men and 185 women; age 26–60 years) was examined in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. HRV-based stress and reco…

Exercise precision medicine for type 2 diabetics : Targeted benefit or risk?

2023

Concurrent exercise and metformin administration may reduce the acute and chronic effects of exercise on glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, several studies suggest that combing metformin and exercise treatment may have no additive effect and even cause adverse effects in T2D patients. This case report aimed to highlight the challenges associated with prescribing exercise to type 2 diabetes patients undergoing metformin treatment. A 67-years old woman was followed-up for 5 months, including assessment of the acute and chronic glucose and lactate metabolism induced by concomitant exercise and metformin. The findings were four-fold: 1) During a high-intensity i…

Exercise and inflammation with special reference to resistance training

2018

The aim of the present dissertation was to examine the acute and chronic effects of resistance exercise on inflammation markers in young men. In addition, the effect of combined resistance and endurance training on inflammation was assessed. The present dissertation consisted of four studies. Acute inflammation response was evaluated using cross-sectional design after hypertrophic and maximal (n=12) resistance exercise bouts (I). In addition, acute inflammation was examined before and after resistance training (RT) consisting either hypertrophic or maximal explosive (n=8) resistance exercise bouts (RE) (II). The effect of RT on basal levels of markers of systemic inflammation was evaluated …

Alternative measures of body composition and wage premium: New evidence from Indonesia

Hormonikorvaushoidon ja fyysisen aktiivisuuden yhteys kehon koostumukseen postmenopausaalisilla naisilla : 10 vuoden seurantatutkimus

2011

Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena oli selvittää, onko estrogeenia sisältävällä hormonikorvaushoidolla (HRT) ja fyysisellä aktiivisuudella (PA) yhteyttä ja yhteisvaikutusta kehon koostumukseen vaihdevuosi-ikäisillä naisilla. Selvityksen kohteena olivat myös HRT- ja liikuntaintervention vaikutusten säilyminen kehon koostumuksessa sekä fyysisessä aktiivisuudessa tapahtuvat muutokset 10 vuoden seurannan aikana. Tutkielman aineiston muodostivat 50-57 –vuotiaat vaihdevuosi-ikäiset naiset (n=47), jotka osallistuivat vuosina 1996-1997 Jyväskylän yliopistossa toteutettuun satunnaistettuun lume-kontrolloituun tutkimukseen. HRT:n ja PA:n yhteisvaikutuksen selvittämistä varten tutkittavat jaettiin neljään r…

The effect of aquatic exercise on symptoms, function, body composition and cartilage in knee osteoarthritis

2016

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease associated with pain and loss of functional capacity. The management of knee OA is multifaceted and covers the whole OA continuum from injury prevention to the end stage of the disease. Recently, specific focus has been on preventing the progression of cartilage degeneration and avoiding loss of function in the early phase of the disease via the provision of exercise interventions. Aquatic exercise is a popular but under-researched exercise option. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the role of aquatic exercise in the management of knee OA, focusing especially the effect it evokes on both functional capaci…
