'It brings the lads together': A critical exploration of older men's experiences of a weight management programme delivered through a Healthy Stadia project. AbstractOlder men whose weight is considered unhealthy may experience particular barriers that can restrict their adoption of health improvement interventions. Despite promising findings recommending the use of sports settings to facilitate health promotion with men, little evidence has addressed older men's health needs for, or experiences of, these settings. Using a qualitative methodology, this study explored the experiences of 14 ageing men attending a football-led weight management programme delivered at a community sports setting. The thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews elucidates important insights regarding the provision of sports-led health improvement interventions for this population. Men especially valued the opportunity to play sports and do physical activity in an environment that promotes 'inclusive' competition and caring interpersonal relationships. Implicit in the findings is the key role of practitioners in promoting social engagement. We conclude the paper with key practical implications of this research.

“…In a recent publication from the present study cohort, ST was found to be experienced by patients as a feasible and enjoyable exercise modality that was associated with a sense of regained control over their health and promotion of a mutually caring behaviour between subjects [16] [50]. Although we observed a number of musculoskeletal injuries, such injuries must be weighed against the psychological benefits and the detrimental effects of physical inactivity and consequent morbidity and mortality.…”

However, the study was multidisciplinary with several other endpoints and the actual power calculation was therefore based on group differences in lean body mass as reported previously [16] [27].…”

Purpose: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a cornerstone in prostate cancer (PCa) management that prolongs PCa-free and overall survival, but effects of ADT on human cardiac function have not been investigated. We used echocardiography to examine cardiac structure and function in patients with prostate cancer receiving ADT and to determine whether an exercise intervention can elicit cardiac adaptations in these subjects. Methods: Forty-three patients with prostate cancer receiving ADT were randomized to 12 weeks football training (ST group; n = 20) or usual care (control [CO] group; n = 23). Cardiac function was assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks by comprehensive echocardiography. Peak oxygen consumption, blood pressure and peripheral microvascular function was also measured. Results: At baseline, no considerable echocardiographic abnormalities were observed. In the ST group, increases in left ventricular diastolic function variables including E/A ratio (P = 0.03), E' (P = 0.016), E' TDIcolor (P = 0.040) and in left atrial diameter How to cite this paper: Schmidt, J.F., Andersen, L.J., Uth, J., Hornstrup, T., Christensen, J., Midtgaard, J., Brasso, K., Krustrup, P., Rørth, M. and Hansen, P.R. (P = 0.001) were observed after 12 weeks. In addition, diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.027) and resting heart rate (P < 0.001) were reduced after ST. In the CO group, no significant changes were observed in the examined variables after 12 weeks. Despite within group changes in the ST group, no significant differences were observed after 12 weeks between groups in echocardiographic variables, peak oxygen consumption, blood pressure and peripheral microvascular function. Conclusion: In men with prostate cancer receiving ADT, echocardiography showed no abnormalities in cardiac structure and function. Twelve weeks of ST failed to elicit significant cardiovascular adaptations and ADT may blunt cardiovascular adaptations to short-term exercise training.

Positive effects of 1-year football and strength training on mechanical muscle function and functional capacity in elderly men

Long-term (1 year) strength training led to increased quadriceps and hamstring strength, whereas the adaptations to football training mainly included enhanced strength and rapid force capacity of the hamstring muscles. Gains in functional ability were observed in response to both training regimens, evidenced by reduced stair-ascent time and increased chair-rising performance. Long-term football exercise and strength training both appear to be effective interventional strategies to improve factors of importance for ADL by counteracting the age-related decline in lower limb strength and functional capacity among old male adults. This could potentially be a way to improve work ability of senior workers.
