“…A four-day washout period provided between conditions to ensure no carry-over effects ( 23 ). The meal condition data are not a part of the current study as they did not include cognitive function or BDNF analyses and have been reported elsewhere ( 24 ). Participants arrived at the lab between 9:00 and 10:00 am following an overnight fast (≥12 h).…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of acute submaximal exercise, based on the spinal cord injury (SCI) Exercise Guidelines, on cognition and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in people with SCI.DesignEight adults (7 males) with traumatic SCI volunteered in this pre-registered pilot study. In randomized order, participants completed submaximal intensity arm cycling (60% of measured peak-power output at 55–60 rpm) for 30 min or time-matched quiet rest (control condition) on separate days. Blood-borne BDNF was measured in serum and plasma at pre-intervention, 0 min and 90 min post-intervention. Cognition was assessed using the Stroop Test and Task-Switching Test on an electronic tablet pre- and 10 min post-intervention.ResultsSubmaximal exercise had no effect on plasma [F(2,12) = 1.09; P = 0.365; η² = 0.069] or serum BDNF [F(2,12) = 0.507; P = 0.614; η² = 0.024] at either 0 min or 90 min post-intervention. Similarly, there was no impact of exercise on either Stroop [F(1,7) = 2.05; P = 0.195; η² = 0.065] or Task-Switching performance [F(1,7) = 0.016; P = 0.903; η² < 0.001] compared to the control condition. Interestingly, there was a positive correlation between years since injury and resting levels of both plasma (r = 0.831; P = 0.011) and serum BDNF (r = 0.799; P = 0.023). However, there was not relationship between years since injury and the BDNF response to exercise.ConclusionsAcute guideline-based exercise did not increase BDNF or improve aspects of cognition in persons with SCI. This work establishes a foundation for continued investigations of exercise as a therapeutic approach to promoting brain health among persons with SCI.

The impact of perception regarding therapeutic exercises and dietary changing adherence of subjects known with low back pain

Debates regarding the role of therapeutic exercises and diet as modulators of an anti-inflammatory state occurred in the last years in the medical environment. The syner-gy between moderate-intensity exercise and a proper diet targeting decreasing IL-1 inhib-its the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α, the key regulator of local and systemic inflammation. One of the most important causes of short and long-term disabil-ity in all occupational groups is back pain, impacting the quality of life. Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) causes low back pain that intensifies with age. Assessment of the Oswestry Disability Index was applied on 23 subjects with low back pain to investigate the degree of disability. Nutrition of IVD, implying therapeutic exercises, and a customized diet may be crucial adjuvants for the rehabilitation process. The appropriate diet and therapeutic exercise approach are meant to evaluate the impact of awareness regarding the possibility of improving health outcomes. In this present study, women have a strong positive Pearson correlation (p<0.05) with minimal (66-70 years) disability and moderate disability (r=1.000, CI =99%). Subjects with moderate disability conditions have “no” intention to implement diet changes and maintain therapeutic exercise adher-ence (r=0.902, CI = 95%). Men (71-75 years, r=0.995, CI =99%) registered a positive strong correlation with maximum deficiency (r=1.000, CI =99%) and “possible no” change in diet and exercise adherence will be applied (r=0.866, CI = 95%). Total disability responders an-swered with a “probable yes” option (r=0.884, CI=95%) but the dependence on their ca-reers is decisive. The education strategy is essential because diet change implementation can cause resistive behavior as well as adherence to exercise therapy. A key to effectively managing the inflammatory state due to different comorbidities is to use the cumulative effects of health professionals' prescriptions. The challenge is to ensure adherence to these actions for each patient.
