Effects of a 12-week increased hip flexion gait exercise intervention in individuals with obesity and knee osteoarthritis
Introduction The novel increased hip flexion gait (HFgait) exercise modality involves specific neuromuscular and biomechanical characteristics that might be beneficial for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The current study examined the efficacy and feasibility of a 12-week HFgait exercise program in patients with obesity and symptomatic knee OA. Methods Double-arm crossover design with three timepoint measurements. Twelve participants (…
Clinical Thresholds for Visceral Adiposity Accumulation
Objectives This study aimed to prospectively identify visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation thresholds in a cohort of sex‐, age‐, and BMI‐matched non‐Hispanic White and Black adults using a range of commonly employed whole‐body and abdominal‐specific adiposity measures associated with chronic disease risk. Methods A total of 344 non‐Hispanic White ( n = 172) and Black adults ( n = 172) matched for sex, age, and BMI completed anthropometric a…
Measurements of Abdominal Obesity are Associated with Metabolic Syndrome Severity Independent of Hypertensive Phenotype in White but not Black Young Adults
Near‐infrared reactance spectroscopy‐derived visceral adipose tissue for the assessment of metabolic syndrome in a multi‐ethnic sample of young adults
Objectives Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is highly associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is rapidly increasing in young adults. However, accessible VAT measurement methods are limited, restricting the use of VAT in early detection. This cross‐sectional study sought to determine if near‐infrared reactance spectroscopy (NIRS)‐derived VAT (VAT NIRS ) was associated with MetS in a multi‐ethnic sample of young adults. Methods A total of 107…
Exploring gait velocity as a predictor of cardiometabolic disease risk in young adults
Background The association between poor gait and functional movement ability and metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been well established in older adults. A continuous cardiometabolic risk score, MetS index , may more easily identify individuals at risk for cardiometabolic disease who do not yet meet the stringent criteria for a formal MetS diagnosis. Although the association between MetS and gait velocity is well established in older adults, no such …
Fat-free mass is associated with exercise pressor responses, but not cold pressor responses, in humans
Objective This study examined the contributions of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) to the magnitude of exercise pressor responses in humans. Methods The cumulative blood pressure responses (blood pressure index; BPI) to handgrip exercise (BPI hg ), post-exercise-circulatory-occlusion (BPI peco ), and cold-pressor activation (BPI cpt ) were collected from 67 individuals grouped by BMI (27.8 ± 7.3 kg/m 2 ), FFM index (FFMi, 29.1 ± 3.8 kg/m 2 …
