Strength training in elderly overweight women exerts positive effects on upper and lower limb strength and also increases cognitive performance.

Incorporating strength training can enhance cognitive function in older women who are overweight.

Nutritional and food education is an important complementary therapeutic approach in promoting health and preventing complications in individuals with severe obesity.

Practitioners should incorporate nutritional and food education into treatment plans for severe obesity.

The intervention led to greater understanding and motivation for dietary changes among families.

Family involvement in nutritional education can enhance adherence to dietary changes.

Home-based exercise may improve upper-body strength (SMD = 0.39) and lower-body strength (SMD = 0.42) in older adults.

Practitioners can consider home-based exercise programs to enhance strength in older adults.

Mean self-weighing frequency was higher in the treatment group compared to the control group.

Increasing the frequency of self-weighing can be a simple intervention to enhance weight loss efforts.

The HWL intervention can be delivered via videoconference and is effective with or without meal replacements.

Practitioners can implement the HWL intervention remotely, making it accessible for various workplace settings.

Targeted resistance training combined with increased protein intake led to measurable improvements in strength and body composition.

Practitioners can implement low-effort resistance training and protein intake strategies to improve strength in patients with chronic lung disease.

La buena ejecucion tecnica de los movimientos fundamentales es esencial para la realizacion del ejercicio fisico y para reducir el riesgo de lesion.

Practitioners should emphasize proper technique in fundamental movements to enhance performance and reduce injury risk.

El patron de movimiento de la sentadilla es uno de los movimientos fundamentales mas criticos para mejorar el rendimiento deportivo.

Incorporating squats into training programs can enhance athletic performance.

Strength training with lighter loads (20-24 repetitions) is feasible and acceptable in middle-aged and older adults.

Practitioners can implement lighter load strength training programs for older adults effectively.

Strength endurance improved in the light load (LL) group compared to the moderate load (ML) group.

Lighter load training may be beneficial for improving strength endurance in older adults.

Leg press one repetition maximum (1RM) strength favored the moderate load (ML) group.

Moderate load training may be more effective for increasing maximal strength in older adults.

Eccentric Training (ET) and Concentric Training (CT) significantly improve functionality in older adults as measured by the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), with ET and CT showing lower times compared to the Control Group (CG) after 16 weeks.

Strength training, particularly eccentric and concentric, can enhance functional mobility in older adults.

Aggregate maximum strength was superior when maintaining resistance training volume compared to increases of 30% or 60%.

Maintaining training volume may be more effective for maximizing strength in trained individuals.

The virtual reality (VR) program improved muscular fitness and lean mass in untrained young men over 8 weeks.

VR fitness programs can be an effective alternative for improving muscular fitness in young adults.

Traditional exercise (TE) resulted in significantly greater increases in 1RM leg press and upper body muscular endurance compared to VR.

For optimal strength gains, traditional exercise may be more effective than VR training.

La sentadilla mejora la habilidad del individuo para desarrollar eficientemente movimientos fundamentales.

Los entrenadores deben incorporar la sentadilla para mejorar las habilidades de movimiento de sus clientes.

Se presenta un sistema de análisis para corregir la técnica de la sentadilla.

Los entrenadores pueden utilizar este sistema para mejorar la técnica de sus clientes en la sentadilla.

Se propone un acercamiento basado en criterios para corregir el ejercicio de la sentadilla.

Los entrenadores deben considerar este enfoque para mejorar la técnica de la sentadilla en sus clientes.

Caffeine supplementation resulted in significantly higher mean velocity at 40, 60, 80, and 90% of 1RM for both back squat and deadlift exercises compared with placebo.

Caffeine can be used as an effective ergogenic aid to enhance performance in powerlifting.

Mean power was significantly greater with caffeine intake during the back squat at 60%, 80%, and 90% of 1RM.

Incorporating caffeine may improve power output during high-intensity powerlifting.

Caffeine intake led to lower ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) for back squat and deadlift exercises.

Caffeine can help athletes feel less exertion during heavy lifts, potentially improving performance.

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a reliable method of monitoring resistance exercise intensity in prostate cancer patients.

Practitioners can use RPE to adjust resistance training intensity for prostate cancer patients.

RPE can be utilized to adjust session intensity and ensure an appropriate training stimulus.

Practitioners should consider daily variations in patient readiness when planning resistance training.
