[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 4 weeks moderate aerobic exercise on outcome measures of saliva stress hormones and lactate levels in healthy adult volunteers. [Subjects and Methods] Sixteen healthy students with an age range of 15–25 years participated in this study. The participants performed an exercise test of moderate intensity for 4 weeks, three times per week. The exercise was treadmill walking. Saliva concentrations of cortisol, testosterone and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured before and after the 4 weeks of moderate aerobic training using immunoassay techniques. [Results] After 4 weeks of exercise, there were significant increases in cortisol, free testosterone levels, and LDH activity along with a significant decrease in the ratios between testosterone and cortisol levels. No significant correlations were found among the studied parameters in the resting stage, a result which supports the positive effect of exercise on stress hormones following 4 weeks of training. [Conclusion] The results suggest that four weeks exercise of moderate intensity significantly affects the salivary stress hormones of young healthy volunteers. The data support the importance of salivary stress hormones as potential biological markers especially for older ages. However, more research is required to validate these biological markers which determine the host response to physical activity.

“…To represent the route recommendation mathematically, considering 57 pairs of manually specified start q 0 and end points q e , the system generates the walking trajectory group S = {s(q 0,i , mq e,i )}(i ∈ [1,57]) to simulate the walking motion by DHM on each trajectory. The tripping rate is calculated for the young (sub.…”

“…Health-care workers and medical experts recommend walking as a critical determinant for alleviating the onset of lifestyle-related diseases. Knowing the value of mobility for a better Quality of Life (QoL) can increase motivation to perform at-home exercises [1]. In Japan, walking has been embraced by individuals of all age groups but is especially popular among those aged 50 years and the elderly [2].…”

Safe Walking Route Recommender Based on Fall Risk Calculation Using a Digital Human Model on a 3D Map

The recent increase in sedentary lifestyles has highlighted the importance of physical activity in our daily lives. Although fall accidents are a common cause of injuries among the elderly, walking is one of the simplest physical activities available. Therefore, walking route selection and identification of walking behavior in different scenarios remains a widely researched area. This paper is about developing a walking-route recommender system that proposes a safe route to the user and reduces the probability of fall accidents. We determine route candidates after the start and endpoints are fed to the system. Then the tripping risk involved in each route candidate is identified by performing several walking simulations of a digital human model on a three-dimensional laser-scanned point cloud. Finally, a safe route is determined after considering the user's age and the tripping risk. It was confirmed that tripping risk could be competently estimated according to the considered age group.

“…They estimated that physical inactivity causes 6% of the burden of disease from coronary heart disease, 7% of that from type 2 diabetes, and 10% of that from breast cancer and colon cancer and that elimination of physical inactivity would increase the life expectancy of the world’s population by 0.68 years 7 ) . In addition, some recent studies have found that physical activity and exercise are associated with cognitive function 8 , 9 , 10 ) , mental health 11 ) , and health-related quality of life 12 , 13 ) . Therefore, it is important to maintain regular physical activity and exercise habits.…”

Associations between the settings of exercise habits and health-related outcomes in community-dwelling older adults

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between the settings of exercise habits and health-related outcomes in community-dwelling older adults. [Subjects] A total of 304 Japanese community-dwelling older adults (70.3 ± 4.1 years; 113 males and 191 females) participated in this study. [Methods] Demographic characteristics, medical conditions, exercise habits, and health-related outcomes were assessed by face-to-face interviews and self-reported questionnaires. Older adults who had exercise habits were classified into two groups: individual- and group-based exercise habits groups, and the health-related outcomes were compared between groups. [Results] The scores for the Geriatric Depression Scale, exercise self-efficacy, and dietary variety of older adults who had group-based exercise habits were better than those of older adults who had individual-based exercise habits. In addition, the exercise settings (individual- and group-based) were significantly associated with scores for the Geriatric Depression Scale (odds ratio = 0.76) and exercise self-efficacy (odds ratio = 1.26), even after adjusting for age and gender. [Conclusion] These results implied that habitual exercise in group settings may have an effective role in promoting exercise self-efficacy and mental health.
