A Cross-Sectional Study Evaluating the Effects of Resistance Exercise on Inflammation and Neurotrophic Factors in Elderly Women with Obesity

“…Patients in our study also showed a significant increase in soft lean mass and skeletal muscle mass after the 12-week resistance exercise. This is consistent with the results of previous studies, where elastic band exercise training was effective in increasing the muscle mass in elderly women with aging-induced sarcopenic obesity [26,27]. This suggests that resistance exercise using elastic bands can be effective for improving body composition by inducing muscle mass increase in elderly women with obesity.…”

Sarcopenic obesity predicts nonremission of late‐life depression

“…Increasingly, promising studies are published underscoring this implication. 55 Effects of such programs may be enhanced by a protein-rich diet. 52 Treatment of obesity itself, even by bariatric surgery in sarcopenic patients, 53 leads to a decrease in depression.…”

“…54 Resistance training has shown benefit on body composition, muscle quality, and physical function in women with sarcopenic obesity. 55 Effects of such programs may be enhanced by a protein-rich diet. 56 Although optimal exercise programs improve depressive symptoms 57 in older people, our results suggest that the largest effects are probably found in patients with sarcopenic obesity.…”

Exercise training ameliorates bleomycin‐induced epithelial mesenchymal transition and lung fibrosis through restoration of H2S synthesis

“…Exercise training has been well‐recognized as a safe, effective and powerful behavioural intervention for prevention and rehabilitation of chronic diseases such as coronary arterial disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity and depression . Despite the complexity of the signs and symptoms presented in IPF, supervised exercise training is a feasible and effective treatment for clinical improvement .…”
