Low-frequency resistance training enhances 2D strain-derived carotid strain and strain rate: a novel longitudinal application of strain imaging in healthy middle-aged females

Exercise delays arterial decline in middle‑aged females, yet participation declines with age. We assessed whether 12-weeks of low‑frequency resistance training alters carotid and brachial arterial function in inactive middle‑aged females. Sixteen inactive middle-aged females (57...

Serum biochemical reference intervals in farmed greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili): Variation across production periods

Greater amberjack ( Seriola dumerili ) is an emerging high-value species in Mediterranean aquaculture; however, effective health management is constrained by the lack of species-specific clinical pathology benchmarks. This study established serum biochemical reference intervals (...

Development of a proposed guide to identify, screen and appraise self-report and device-based measures of habitual physical activity in systematic reviews: a methodological protocol

Habitual physical activity (PA) is a fundamental determinant of health, yet its assessment and reporting vary substantially across research studies, creating persistent challenges for evidence synthesis. Systematic reviews that aim to synthesise habitual PA outcomes are frequentl...
