Long-term intake of UPFs leads to addiction due to additives including fat, caffeine, and sugar.

Health professionals should consider the addictive potential of UPFs when advising clients.

Human eating behavior is a learned habitual behavior influenced by past experiences.

Understanding that eating habits are learned can help practitioners develop better interventions.

Powerlifters had significantly greater training duration and absolute squat and bench press 1RM compared to recreationally strength-trained subjects.

Powerlifting training may lead to greater strength gains compared to recreational strength training.

Significant negative relationships were found between 2-lift Wilks score and shoulder extension and horizontal abduction, as well as hip flexion and extension.

Improving shoulder and hip ROM may enhance strength performance in powerlifters.

There was a significant main effect for time on raw RIRDIFF, indicating a slight decrease in raw RIRDIFF over time.

Trainers may observe that RIR predictions become slightly more accurate over time with consistent training.

There was a greater tendency to underestimate RIR in later sessions and during higher repetition sets.

Coaches should be aware that athletes may underestimate their RIR as training progresses.

USB were a better replacement than ASB for altering taste preference.

Practitioners should consider promoting USB over ASB for better adherence to low-sugar diets.

The preoperative weight loss intervention was feasible and viewed favorably among patients, with 83% feeling that video calls were helpful.

Practitioners can consider using video consultations as a supportive tool for weight loss interventions.

The unique combination of naltrexone and bupropion in NB-ER may work together to target POMC cells to prevent endogenous negative feedback, thereby decreasing appetite.

Understanding the mechanism can help practitioners explain the treatment's effects to patients.

Both groups experienced similar improvements in knee extension one-repetition maximum (1RM) after 12 weeks of ST (LOV: 24.7 ± 11.1 kg; NV: 21.6 ± 9.8 kg).

Strength training can enhance strength performance similarly in both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

Patients showed improvements in mental health scores, with SF-12 mental scores changing by 2.8 points at 6 months and 2.3 points at 18 months.

Improving mental health is a crucial component of lifestyle interventions for obesity.

The intervention showed a significant reduction in depression scores in the ACTIVE group compared to the CON group.

Implementing online exercise programs may help reduce depression in older adults.

Alabama participants showed significantly greater improvements in objective physical activity measures compared to Colorado participants.

Regional differences may influence physical activity outcomes in weight loss interventions.

There was stronger support for general inter-individual response variation (GEN) compared to condition-specific response variation (CON).

Understanding general response variation can help tailor training programs more effectively.

If the BB-Health protocol demonstrates feasibility, the MCNS with and without WL intervention has potential to prevent age-related cognitive decline.

Practitioners may consider the implications of MCNS and WL interventions for cognitive health in older adults.

Perceived hunger, fullness, and satisfaction were comparable between the moderate and high protein diets.

Practitioners can expect similar levels of hunger and satisfaction from both moderate and high protein diets.

GLP-1 agonists can modulate appetite through effects on the hypothalamus, making them promising for obesity treatment.

GLP-1 agonists may be effective options for patients looking to manage obesity through appetite control.

Acute data generally show that muscle activation and training volume do not differ between supersets and traditional resistance training.

Both training methods can be considered equally effective in terms of muscle activation and volume.

Family member participation in the intervention expands the possibilities for lasting lifestyle changes.

Encouraging family involvement can enhance the effectiveness of obesity treatment programs.

Novel study designs can account for confounding sources of variation in individual response to resistance training.

Practitioners can use these study designs to better understand individual training responses.

Volume load (VL) in the bench press (BP) was affected by exercise order, independent of the mode.

Practitioners should consider exercise order when designing resistance training programs.

The close-grip bench press (CGBP) showed higher volume load in the first exercise order (O1).

Prioritizing CGBP in training sessions may enhance performance.

Myoelectric activity was higher for the clavicular head pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and triceps brachii long head when the bench press was last in the sequence.

Adjusting exercise order can optimize muscle activation during training.

Use of incretin-based therapies (IBT) after bariatric surgery is associated with a 55% lower risk of new-onset alcohol use disorder (AUD) compared to non-IBT antiobesity medications (AOMs).

Practitioners may consider prescribing IBT for patients post-bariatric surgery to reduce the risk of AUD.
