“…Please, note the indicative changes of HDL level (Figure 2C) that show alignment with the extent of PA (Figure 1A). The recorded anti-parallel changes of HDL and LDL cholesterol levels are in harmony with literature data (Hagner-Derengowska et al, 2015).…”

Studies support that regular physical activity (PA) decelerates senescence-related decline of physiological and molecular parameters in the elderly. We have addressed the other end of this spectrum: healthy and young, inactive individuals participated in a 6-month long personal trainer-guided lifestyle program. We have measured physiological and molecular parameters (differentiating high- and low responders) and their correlation with PA (sedentary status). Cluster analysis helped to distinguish individuals with high- or low PA and differentiate high- and low-responders of each parameter. The assessed cardiovascular parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, 6-min walking distance, relative VO2max), body composition parameters (body fat and muscle mass percentage) metabolic parameters (glucose, insulin, HDL, LDL), immune parameters (cortisol, CRP, lymphocyte counts, hTREC) all showed improvement. Artificial neural network analysis (ANN) showed correlation efficiencies of physiological and molecular parameters using a concept-free approach. ANN analysis appointed PA as the mastermind of molecular level changes. Besides sedentary status, insulin and hTREC showed significant segregation. Biostatistics evaluation also supported the schism of participants for their sedentary status, insulin concentration and hTREC copy number. In the future ANN and biostatistics, may predict individual responses to regular exercise. Our program reveals that high responder individuals of certain parameters may be low responders of others. Our data show that moderate regular PA is essential to counteract senescence in young and healthy individuals, despite individual differences in responsiveness. Such PA may not seem important in the everyday life of young and healthy adults, but shall become the base for healthy aging.

“…showed a reduction in TG, LDL-C, and an increase in HDL-C after 12 weeks of a NW training program in premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women, with the exception of HDL-C levels in postmenopausal women. Similar findings were reported by Hagner-Derengowska et al34 after a 10-week NW program in their study comprised of 32 postmenopausal women with excessive weight or obesity. However, those authors did not compare the effects of NW and CW training programs.…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Nordic Walking compared to conventional walking on aerobic capacity, the lipid profile, left ventricular ejection fraction, body mass, and body mass index in women over 55 years old. Methods: The study was comprised of 74 women over 55 years of age. Participants were randomized to the Nordic Walking (n = 38) or conventional walking (n = 36) training groups. The echocardiogram, treadmill exercise stress test, lipid profile, and body mass were assessed at baseline (pretest) and after 12 weeks (posttest). Results: The authors found a significant main effect over time in duration (effect size [ES] = 0.59, P < .0001), distance covered (ES = 0.56, P < .0001), peak oxygen consumption (ES = 0.43, P < .0001), metabolic equivalent (ES = 0.29, P < .0001), peak heart rate (ES = 0.2, P < .0001), peak diastolic blood pressure (ES = 0.11, P = .0045), total cholesterol (ES = 0.26, P < .0001), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ES = 0.16, P = .0005). The authors did not observe a time versus group interaction or the effect between groups. Post hoc tests revealed significant pretraining to posttraining differences in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol after the Nordic Walking training program and in peak diastolic blood pressure after the conventional walking training program. The heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure at rest, peak diastolic blood pressure, somatic parameters (body mass and body mass index), and left ventricular ejection fraction did not change in either group. Conclusions: Both training programs resulted in increases in aerobic capacity and decreases in total cholesterol.

“…Participation in NW may also affect LDH levels. Hagner-Derengowska et al [21] reported on 32 post-menopausal women showed that LDH activity in its participants decreased signi cantly after a cycle of 10-week NW trainings (184.3 vs 175.7 IU/l).…”

Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy affecting older adults (median age 70 years). One of the most common myeloma defining events is the development of symptomatic lytic bone disease which leads to fractures and immobilization. It is caused by disturbances in bone metabolism affecting calcium-phosphate balance. Treatment of the bone disease and the underlying malignancy results in disease and symptom control.Objectives: In this study, the impact of a 6-week Nordic walking (NW) exercise program on blood parameters related to calcium-phosphate metabolism and damage of skeletal muscles was assessed. Patients and methods: 28 subjects with MM in remission stage, without cytostatic treatment were enrolled and completed the study: 15 in the training group (NW) and 13 in control group (CG). All patients were supplemented with vitamin D3, calcium carbonate daily and received zoledronic acid every 4 weeks. Two venous blood samples were drawn – before and after the 6 weeks of training sessions – to assess the serum concentrations of vitamin 25(OH)D3, inorganic phosphorus, total calcium, myoglobin, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).Results: Patients from the NW group showed a statistically significant decrease in mean serum myoglobin concentration (p=0.018) and increase in 25(OH)D3 (p<0.001) and total Ca (p=0.001) concentrations. In the NW group, there was a correlation between the changes in myoglobin, phosphorus, 25(OH)D3 and Ca concentrations after 6 weeks.Conclusions: NW training is a safe and beneficial form of physical exercise for patients with MM without inducing muscle damage. NW performed outside during Spring-Summer season improves serum vitamin 25(OH)D3 concentration.
