[HTML][HTML] Wearable activity monitors in oncology trials: current use of an emerging technology
Background Physical activity is an important outcome in oncology trials. Physical activity is
commonly assessed using self-reported questionnaires, which are limited by recall and …

Recommendations for physical activity in older adults
Older adults find it difficult to meet moderate and vigorous exercise targets. Given that a
dose-response exists for physical activity and health benefits, Phillip B Sparling and …

[HTML][HTML] Association between objectively measured physical activity and mortality in NHANES
Purpose We examined total, light, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) as
predictors of mortality in a nationally representative sample of older adults. Then, we …

Synchronous deficits in cumulative muscle protein synthesis and ribosomal biogenesis underlie age‐related anabolic resistance to exercise in humans
Key points Resistance exercise training (RET) is one of the most effective strategies for
preventing declines in skeletal muscle mass and strength with age. Hypertrophic responses …

Re-evaluating the effect of age on physical activity over the lifespan
Advancements in accelerometer analytic and visualization techniques allow researchers to
more precisely identify and compare critical periods of physical activity (PA) decline by age …

Active-to-sedentary behavior transitions, fatigability, and physical functioning in older adults
Background With aging, daily physical activity (PA) becomes less frequent and more
fragmented. Accumulation patterns of daily PA—including transitions from active-to …
