this regard, physical exercise has been recognized as a safe and efficacious strategy for preventing and attenuating physiological and psychological sequelae of anticancer therapy. 8 Interestingly, epidemiological studies have shown that the regular practice of physical exercise following PCa

Outdoor environments that enhance older people’s physical activity ideally consist of diverse facilities, destinations, and walking trails near home ( Sugiyama et al., 2012 ). Specific physical exercise destinations may encourage older people to go outdoors and spend time in these locations. Sport

Such findings could have important theoretical and practical implications and could contribute to the understanding of acute stress responses in humans.

unhealthy adults found effects on the physical and psychological domains of QoL, but no effect on the overall QoL ( Gillison, Skevington, Sato, Standage, & Evangelidou, 2009 ). A more recent qualitative review on physical exercise in healthy older adults showed an enhancement of QoL ( Mura et al., 2014

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the addition of a dual task to multicomponent training on cognition of active older adults. Eighty physically active older adults were divided into an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). Both groups performed multicomponent training over 12 weeks. The IG simultaneously performed exercises and cognitive tasks. The Mini-Mental State Examination, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and the Clock Drawing Test were used for cognitive assessments. The Timed Up and Go Test associated with a cognitive task was used for dual-task assessment. Significant interactions were not observed between groups in terms of the cognitive variables or the dual-task performance. An interaction was observed only for Timed Up and Go Test performance, which was better in the CG than in the IG. Active older adults showed no improvement in cognition following the addition of the dual task to the multicomponent training.

Purpose:
There are few reliable studies assessing the effect of physical exercise (PE) on adipokines levels at young ages. Our objective was to study the effects of regular PE on plasma adipokines in pediatric overweight and obesity.
Method:
117 overweight and obese children and adolescents (47% females; 10.2 years) participated in an 8-month longitudinal study divided in two groups: PE group (n = 80), engaged in an after-school PE program; control group (n = 37), with no PE program. Plasma lipids, C-reactive protein (CRP), adiponectin, resistin, leptin, IL-6, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, insulin and glucose levels were determined.
Results:
contrarily to the control group, the PE group presented reductions in body mass index z-score (BMIzsc) and body fat percentage that were accompanied by an improvement in lipid profile and insulin resistance, a reduction in CRP and TNF-alpha and an increase in adiponectin levels. The reductions in BMIzsc were inversely correlated with changes in adiponectin (r=−0.329, p = .003) and positively correlated with changes in percentage body fat (r = .262, p = .032), triglycerides (r = .228, p = .042) and leptin (r = .285, p = .010).
Conclusion:
Moderate reductions in adiposity improve proinflammatory status in obese children and adolescents. A more substantial reduction in BMIzsc was associated with a greater increment in adiponectin and reduction in leptin.

physical exercise has been postulated to have a protective effect against AMD ( McGuinness et al., 2016 ; Williams, 2009b ), and a greater cardiorespiratory fitness is suggested to decrease this risk or the possibility of cataract formation ( Williams, 2009a ). Beyond the higher CV risk due to inactivity
