Whey protein supplementation combined with resistance training results in an 8.7% increase in total strength compared to a 4.9% increase with placebo.

Whey protein supplementation may significantly enhance strength gains in older women participating in resistance training.

Both whey protein and placebo groups showed significant improvements in muscular quality, with the whey protein group showing a 2.9% increase compared to a 1.5% increase in the placebo group.

Both whey protein and resistance training can improve muscular quality in older women.

Supporting an athlete's need for autonomy by allowing choices concerning training variables can be an effective coaching strategy.

Coaches should incorporate autonomy in training to enhance effectiveness.

Autonomy support has been shown to improve motor learning, performance, and motivation.

Enhancing autonomy can lead to better learning and performance outcomes.

The review discusses the positive effects of providing choices to athletes.

Providing choices can enhance the training experience for athletes.

Therapeutic strategies that promote significant and sustained weight loss (~10% of total body weight) are among the most efficient for treating NASH and T2D.

Weight loss interventions should be prioritized in managing NASH and T2D.

Consumption of low-glycemic index carbohydrates may facilitate a reduction in energy intake in obese people attempting to lose weight.

Practitioners may consider recommending low-GI carbohydrates to help clients manage hunger and reduce energy intake.

Tirzepatide would avert 45,609 obesity cases per 100,000 individuals over a lifetime.

Tirzepatide is effective in reducing obesity cases, suggesting its potential use in clinical practice.

Semaglutide would avert 32,087 obesity cases per 100,000 individuals over a lifetime.

Semaglutide is effective in reducing obesity cases, suggesting its potential use in clinical practice.

Bariatric surgery is associated with more robust weight loss (15–64.6%) and improvement in obstructive sleep apnea severity and gas exchange.

Bariatric surgery may be a more effective intervention for significant weight loss and improvement in respiratory function in OHS patients.

The guideline panel made a conditional recommendation for a weight loss intervention targeting a sustained weight loss of 25% to 30% of actual body weight.

Clinicians should consider recommending significant weight loss for OHS patients, while being aware of the low-quality evidence supporting this recommendation.

Using an internal focus of attention during resistance training resulted in a 12.4% increase in elbow flexor thickness compared to a 6.9% increase with an external focus.

Practitioners should consider encouraging an internal focus during resistance training to enhance muscle growth.

The findings support the use of a mind-muscle connection to enhance muscle hypertrophy.

Emphasizing the mind-muscle connection may improve training outcomes for hypertrophy.

Bariatric surgery is associated with substantial and sustained weight loss in morbidly obese patients.

Bariatric surgery can be an effective option for achieving significant weight loss in patients with severe obesity.

Bariatric surgery induces higher rates of short and long-term diabetes remission.

Bariatric surgery may be considered for patients with Type 2 diabetes to improve remission rates.

The risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) decreases after approximately 10% of weight loss in patients who underwent metabolic surgery.

Practitioners should aim for at least 10% weight loss in surgical patients to reduce cardiovascular risk.

A threshold of approximately 5% weight loss is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in patients who underwent metabolic surgery.

Practitioners should encourage at least 5% weight loss in surgical patients to improve survival rates.

The mean weight loss for an individual adherent to a 25% caloric restriction regimen is -10.9 ± 6.3% for females and -13.9 ± 6.4% for men after 12 months.

Counselors can use these estimates to set realistic weight loss goals for participants on caloric restriction.

Normograms for weight change can be developed to help participants adhere to their caloric target.

Counselors can use normograms to provide personalized guidance to participants.

Both RT3 and RT6 groups showed significant increases in muscle thickness for elbow extensors (+14% for RT3 and +11% for RT6), rectus femoris (+5% for RT3 and +6% for RT6), and vastus intermedius (+10% for RT3 and +11% for RT6) with no significant between-group differences.

Both training frequencies can be effective for muscle growth in trained individuals.

Ingestion of many protein sources in temporal proximity to resistance exercise increases muscle protein synthesis (MPS) resulting in positive net muscle protein balance (NMPB).

Practitioners should encourage protein intake close to resistance training for optimal muscle growth.

Approximately 20-25 g of a high-quality protein maximizes the response of MPS following resistance exercise.

Practitioners should recommend 20-25 g of high-quality protein post-exercise for muscle growth.

Progressive resistance training for 16 weeks increases phase angle by 4.3% in men and 5.8% in women.

Implementing a hypertrophy-type resistance training program can enhance cellular integrity in young adults.

Treatment with liraglutide 3.0 mg provides a statistically significant and clinically meaningful weight loss of 5.7%-8.0% compared to 1.6%-2.6% with placebo.

Liraglutide 3.0 mg can be an effective treatment for weight management in individuals without T2DM.
