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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

IBT is associated with a 41% lower risk of initiation of medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUDs) compared to non-IBT AOMs.

IBT may be a beneficial option for reducing the need for MAUDs in post-bariatric surgery patients.

Maximum strength increased marginally significantly by 4.6 kg during the intervention.

Practitioners can expect modest strength improvements with low-intensity training in this population.

A gradual decrease in total body fat and no decrease in appendicular lean mass (ALM) are significantly independently associated with higher cognitive scores compared with other trajectories.

Weight loss strategies should focus on reducing body fat while preserving lean mass to support cognitive health.

Differences in cognitive score were large for sarcopenia, but not for obesity.

Addressing sarcopenia may be crucial for maintaining cognitive function in this population.

Weight loss approaches that preserve ALM and function may lead to reduced cognitive decline compared with weight loss alone.

Practitioners should consider strategies that maintain lean mass during weight loss to support cognitive health.

Powerlifters trained an average of 4.25 times per week, performing competition-style lifts at specific frequencies: squat 1.64 times, bench press 2.48 times, and deadlift 1.37 times per week.

Trainers should consider the average training frequency and specific lift focus when designing programs for powerlifters.

Programming decisions for competition lifts were influenced by athlete characteristics such as gender, age, and training status.

Coaches should consider individual athlete characteristics when designing training programs for powerlifters.

Participants with food and nutrition insecurity had more symptoms of depression and anxiety compared to participants with food and nutrition security (p<0.05).

Practitioners should consider mental health support for those facing food and nutrition insecurity.

Early change in eating-related self-regulation is a stronger predictor of longer-term change in eating-related self-efficacy than the reverse.

Focusing on enhancing self-regulation may be crucial for improving self-efficacy in obesity treatment.

Tirzepatide is associated with a lower risk of dementia versus SGLT2 inhibitors (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.47-0.93, p = 0.02).

Tirzepatide may be a preferable treatment option for reducing dementia risk in type 2 diabetes patients compared to SGLT2 inhibitors.

On days participants reported higher-than-average incidental affect, intention, and self-monitoring, they were more likely to engage in resistance training.

Practitioners should consider the role of daily emotional states and self-monitoring in promoting resistance training among GLP-1 users.

Participants with higher levels of incidental affect, intention, and self-monitoring consistently showed a greater likelihood of participating in resistance training.

Encouraging self-monitoring and positive emotional states may enhance resistance training adherence.

On days with higher-than-average affective attitude and perceived capabilities, participants were more likely to intend to engage in resistance training.

Fostering positive attitudes and self-efficacy can be beneficial in promoting resistance training intentions.

Labeling foods as 'good' or 'bad' can lead to disordered eating and feelings of failure.

Practitioners should avoid labeling foods in a binary manner to prevent negative psychological effects.

The combination of verbal instructions and mirror self-motor observation attenuated the decrease in torque output during isokinetic contractions.

Combining verbal cues with mirror observation may enhance performance in resistance training.

The verbal + MO-mirror condition resulted in lower antagonist/agonist coactivation.

Lower coactivation may improve efficiency in resistance exercises.

The combination of both cueing modalities elicits a more effective contraction strategy during knee-extension exercise.

Using both internal focus and mirror observation can enhance training effectiveness.
