A plant-based eating pattern is non-inferior to an omnivore diet for athletic performance and muscle protein synthesis when macronutrient content is similar.

Athletes can achieve similar performance and muscle synthesis on a plant-based diet as on an omnivore diet if protein intake is adequate.

When sufficient total protein is consumed, plant-based sources are non-inferior to animal-based sources.

Athletes can rely on plant-based protein sources without compromising performance if protein intake is adequate.

A 40% energy surplus over 6 weeks significantly increased body protein mass by 3.7% (0.44 kg; 95% CI, 0.21-0.67 kg; P = 0.003).

Increasing energy intake significantly promotes body protein mass gain in healthy young men.

Resistance training alongside proper protein intake is important to mitigate the effects of aging on skeletal muscle tissue.

Health professionals should incorporate both resistance training and protein intake in programs for older adults.

Protein supplementation may provide benefits for individuals with previous training experience, those not meeting daily protein requirements, or displaying frailty symptoms.

Protein supplementation may be beneficial for certain subgroups of older adults.

Regular physical activity can optimize glucose regulation in individuals with diabetes mellitus.

Practitioners should encourage regular physical activity for diabetes management.

Aerobic exercise programs are effective for improving aerobic capacity and have positive metabolic effects.

Encouraging aerobic exercise can significantly benefit patients' metabolic health.

The SALUD program aims to improve food literacy in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Practitioners can utilize the SALUD program to enhance food literacy among T2DM patients.

The SALUD program includes 12 weekly web-based group sessions supervised by a certified lifestyle coach.

Health professionals can implement structured group sessions to support T2DM patients.

The intervention group had a significantly lower visceral fat area (Z = -6.79, P < 0.001) compared to the control group.

Implementing goal attainment theory-based interventions can effectively reduce visceral fat in physically inactive emerging adults.

The intervention group showed higher levels of physical activity, including vigorous (Z = 60.51, P < 0.001) and moderate activity (Z = 104.90, P < 0.001).

Encouraging goal-oriented physical activity interventions can significantly enhance activity levels in inactive young adults.

Periodic fasting (PF) improves albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and diabetic nephropathy (DN).

Implementing periodic fasting may be beneficial for managing albuminuria in patients with T2D.

A prática de exercício físico, em conjunto com a alimentação saudável, pode prevenir doenças crônicas e contribuir para a manutenção ou alcance do peso saudável.

Profissionais devem considerar a combinação de exercício e nutrição para promover a saúde.

Os suplementos mais procurados por pessoas que buscam melhora da estética e condicionamento físico são os derivados de proteínas e aminoácidos.

Profissionais devem estar cientes dos tipos de suplementos que os praticantes buscam.

The HbA1c of the plate group significantly decreased at the endpoint (7.74±0.45% vs. 6.70±0.46%, P<0.001).

The plate model may effectively lower HbA1c levels in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.

The optimal SPAN combination of 8.0-9.4 h/day sleep, 42-104 min/day MVPA, and a DQS of 32.5-50.0 was associated with a 57% lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (HR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.30, 0.62).

Practitioners should encourage optimal sleep, physical activity, and nutrition combinations to reduce cardiovascular event risk.

A minimum combined variation of an additional 11 min/day of sleep, 4.5 min/day MVPA, and 3 DQS points was associated with 10% lower MACE risk (HR: 0.90; 0.88, 0.94).

Small improvements in sleep, activity, and diet can significantly reduce cardiovascular event risk.

For the low-carbohydrate diet, race, body fat percentage, and fasting glucose at baseline are significant predictors of weight loss success.

Practitioners should consider these factors when recommending low-carbohydrate diets.

Completion status is the most important predictor of weight loss regardless of diet type.

Practitioners should emphasize the importance of completing diet interventions for successful weight loss.

Reducing carbohydrate intake in exchange for more protein and fat improves glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes and can enable diabetes remission in a high percentage of cases.

Practitioners may consider recommending a low-carbohydrate diet to improve glucose control in type 2 diabetes patients.

Carbohydrate restriction significantly improves triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and non-HDL cholesterol while increasing HDL cholesterol.

Practitioners should note the positive effects of carbohydrate restriction on lipid profiles in type 2 diabetes patients.

Intervention studies show an improvement in cardiovascular risk profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes due to carbohydrate reduction.

Practitioners may consider the cardiovascular benefits of carbohydrate reduction in managing type 2 diabetes.

Time Under Tension (TUT) was greater in the group with a 4-second eccentric phase.

Longer eccentric phases may enhance time under tension, which could be beneficial for muscle growth.

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.
