Structured dietary weight-loss maintenance (WLM) is well accepted by participants.

Practitioners can confidently implement these dietary strategies knowing they are well received.

Both training to failure and submaximal effort result in similar increases in strength and local muscular endurance.

Both training methods can be effective for improving strength and endurance.

Participants demonstrated a 36.5% increase in composite load lifted across compound exercises.

Strength training protocols can effectively enhance lifting capacity in breast cancer survivors.

Patients can achieve significant weight reduction with the fixed-dose, extended-release combination of naltrexone and bupropion (NB-ER) compared with placebo when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Practitioners should consider prescribing NB-ER for patients with obesity who are also engaging in dietary and physical activity changes.

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.

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.

Almost all powerlifters (>97.5%) incorporated varied practice, including barbell variations and accessory exercises.

Incorporating varied exercises can be beneficial for powerlifters' training regimens.

Psychological support, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, increases patient adherence and improves long-term outcomes.

Incorporating psychological support can enhance treatment adherence and effectiveness.

Cognitive–behavioral methods focusing on emotional eating lead to greater improvements in emotional eating and related weight and waist circumference reductions compared to education-based approaches.

Practitioners should consider implementing cognitive-behavioral strategies that focus on emotional eating in obesity treatment programs.

Obesity management requires a long-term multimodal strategy that incorporates individualized treatment goals.

Practitioners should develop personalized management plans for obesity that consider individual goals and interventions.

Strength training can improve the quality of life of older adults with sarcopenia.

Practitioners should consider implementing strength training programs for older adults with sarcopenia to enhance their quality of life.

Strength training is more effective in high-intensity and supervised interventions.

Focus on high-intensity and supervised strength training for better outcomes.

Whey protein supplementation had a significant effect on bench press performance (MD 5.72; 95% CI:1.30, 10.15; p=0.02).

Practitioners may consider recommending whey protein to enhance upper body strength in young adults involved in resistance training.

Regular strength training is highly effective for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia.

Practitioners should implement regular strength training programs for older adults to prevent sarcopenia.

High-intensity training with 2 sessions of 30-45 minutes each is an efficient method for older adults.

Older adults should engage in high-intensity training sessions to maximize efficiency.

Higher frequency resistance training (RT) leads to significantly greater improvements in muscle strength compared to lower frequency RT.

Practitioners should consider increasing the frequency of resistance training sessions to enhance strength gains.

Exercise selection and rest periods can be modified to fit the needs and preferences of individuals with limited time to train.

Practitioners should consider individual preferences when designing time-efficient training programs.

Moderation in food choices can be promoted without moralizing through systems like the 'traffic light' system.

Practitioners can utilize moderation-focused approaches to improve dietary habits without inducing guilt.

The correlation between lower-extremity muscle strength and exercise capacity is stronger in patients with diabetes mellitus compared to those without.

Emphasizing muscle strength training may be particularly beneficial for diabetic patients with CVD.

GLP-1RA users had a lower risk of stroke (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.70-0.93) compared to other antidiabetic drug users.

Practitioners may consider GLP-1RAs as a treatment option for reducing stroke risk in this population.

Lifestyle recommendations for nutritional care and physical activity in diabetes management are poorly implemented.

Practitioners should enhance the implementation of lifestyle interventions in diabetes care.

Participants improved their accuracy in estimating repetitions in reserve (RIR) during the bench press over the intervention.

Improving RIR estimation can enhance training effectiveness and safety.
