A mito-centric view on muscle aging and function
OPINION article Front. Public Health, 10 January 2024Sec. Aging and Public Health Volume 11 - 2023 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2023.1330131
Age- and sex-dependent associations between self-reported physical activity levels and self-reported cardiovascular risk factors
Exceeding minimal WHO recommendations for PA promises large beneficial effects, particularly on the prevalence of obesity and T2D. Demonstrated sex differences in PA levels and their association with cardiovascular risk factors may provide an important basis for preventive health counseling
Early decrease in ventilatory sensitivity at very high altitude

Health Benefits of Residence at Moderate Altitude Do Not Reduce Covid-19 Mortality
Moderate altitude (1000−2000 m above sea level) residence is emerging as a protective factor from the mortality of various causes, including of cardiovascular diseases. Conversely, mortality from certain respiratory diseases is higher at these altitudes than in lowlands. These divergent outcomes could indicate either beneficial or detrimental effects of altitude on the mortality of COVID-19 that primarily infects the respiratory tract but results…
Mortality in Recreational Mountain-Biking in the Austrian Alps
Despite recreational mountain-biking's growing popularity worldwide, the literature on mortality in this leisure sporting activity is scarce. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the characteristics of fatal accidents as well as resulting dead victims during recreational mountain-biking in the Austrian Alps over the past 16 years. For this purpose, a retrospective study based on Austrian institutional documentation from 2006…
Unchanged Fatality Rate on Austrian Ski Slopes during the Covid-19 Lockdown
Fatalities on ski slopes are very rare, with about one death per one million skier days. Whether the fatality rate is affected by substantial changes in the number of skier days and potentially associated alterations in the structure of the skier population is unknown. Thus, we compared the fatality rate on Austrian ski slopes in the winter season of 2020/21, when skiing activities were dramatically restricted during the COVID-19 lockdown, with t…
Olympic Sports Science-Bibliometric Analysis of All Summer and Winter Olympic Sports Research
Introduction:The body of scientific literature on sports and exercise continues to expand. The summer and winter Olympic games will be held over a 7-month period in 2021-2022.Objectives:We took this rare opportunity to quantify and analyze the main bibliometric parameters (i.e., the number of articles and citations) across all Olympic sports to weigh and compare their importance and to assess the structure of the "sport sciences" field. The prese…
