Bariatric surgery leads to a higher remission rate for type 2 diabetes mellitus than non-surgical treatment.

Bariatric surgery should be considered for patients with type 2 diabetes who are not achieving remission through non-surgical methods.

Fat-free mass normalized to height is a statistically predictive determinant of maximum parallel barbell back squat strength.

Practitioners should focus on increasing fat-free mass to enhance barbell back squat strength.

Varying exercise selection can influence muscle hypertrophy and strength gains.

Fitness professionals should consider incorporating a variety of resistance exercises to enhance muscle growth and strength.

Systematic variation in exercise selection enhances regional hypertrophic adaptations and maximizes dynamic strength.

Implementing a structured variation in resistance exercises can lead to better muscle development and strength outcomes.

Excessive, random variation in exercise selection may compromise muscular gains.

Avoid excessive changes in exercise selection to maintain optimal muscle growth and strength.

BFR training is an effective alternative for increasing muscle CSA in older men.

Practitioners can consider BFR training as a viable method to enhance muscle growth in older male populations.

Excess body weight is a significant risk factor for breast cancer and increases the risk of therapy-related morbidity, recurrence, and breast cancer-related mortality.

Healthcare providers should prioritize weight management in breast cancer patients and survivors.

Cancer guidelines recommend that overweight or obese breast cancer survivors lose weight and that those with a normal BMI maintain stable body weight.

Practitioners should follow cancer guidelines for weight management in breast cancer survivors.

INV-202 produced a significant mean weight loss of 3.5 kg (3.3% compared with placebo participants who gained a mean 0.6 kg [0.5%]).

INV-202 may be an effective treatment for weight loss in individuals with metabolic syndrome.

INV-202 exhibited significant reductions in waist circumference and BMI (P ≤ 0.03).

INV-202 may help reduce waist circumference and BMI in this population.

Strategies targeting muscle mass and function losses within an ICU setting are essential to improve patient-related outcomes.

Practitioners should implement strategies to maintain muscle mass in ICU patients.

Older ICU patients seldom meet the recommended protein intake.

Increase protein provision for older ICU patients to meet recommendations.

Whey protein supplementation increases lean mass by 0.37 kg without influencing changes in fat mass.

Whey protein can be recommended for women looking to increase lean mass without gaining fat.

The beneficial effect of whey protein on lean mass is more robust when combined with energy restriction.

Combining whey protein with energy restriction may yield better results for increasing lean mass.

Group interventions were favoured over one‐to‐one interventions for weight loss at 12 months (−1.9 kg).

Practitioners may consider group interventions as more effective for weight loss in overweight adults.

Participants of group interventions were more likely to attain ≥5% weight loss at 12 months relative to one‐to‐one interventions (relative risk = 1.58).

Group interventions may enhance the chances of participants achieving significant weight loss.

Group multi‐component lifestyle interventions are superior for weight loss compared to one‐to‐one interventions.

For effective weight management, group interventions should be prioritized over one-to-one formats.

Body fat was reduced from 20.3% to 12.2% before the first competition and declined to 11.6% before the second competition.

Practitioners can expect significant fat loss in experienced competitors during contest preparation.

Fat-free mass increased by 2.1% before the first competition and peaked at 4.6% above baseline in the recovery period.

Practitioners should note that muscle gain can occur during recovery after competition.

An active perioperative GLP-1 RA prescription in patients with diabetes was associated with a significantly reduced risk of 30-day readmission (RR: 0.883; P = 0.028).

Practitioners may consider GLP-1 RA prescriptions to reduce readmission rates in diabetic surgical patients.

Cardiac rehabilitation programs should develop behavioral weight loss programs to assist cardiac patients in losing weight and improving risk factors.

Practitioners should consider integrating behavioral weight loss strategies into cardiac rehabilitation programs.

A comprehensive, behavioral-based approach is the most effective treatment strategy for obesity in cardiac patients.

Practitioners should implement comprehensive behavioral strategies to address obesity in cardiac patients.

The MR group experienced a significantly higher increase in lean mass, strength, and power than the PR group after 6 weeks of resistance training.

Incorporating high-protein dairy milk post-exercise and pre-sleep may enhance muscle gains and strength in young males undergoing resistance training.

Serum levels of IGF-1, growth hormone, testosterone, and follistatin increased, while cortisol and myostatin decreased in the MR group compared to the PR group.

Monitoring hormonal responses may provide insights into the effectiveness of dietary interventions in resistance training.
