Exercise training as S-Klotho protein stimulator in sedentary healthy adults: Rationale, design, and methodology.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The secreted form of the ?-Klotho gene (S-Klotho), which is considered a powerful biomarker of longevity, makes it an attractive target as an anti-ageing therapy against functional decline, sarcopenic obesity, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative disorders. The S-Klotho plasma levels could be related to physical exercise inasmuch physical exercise is involved in physiological pathways that regulate the S-Klotho plasma levels. FIT-AGEING will determine the effect of different training modalities on the S-Klotho plasma levels (primary outcome) in sedentary healthy adults. FIT-AGEING will also investigate the physiological consequences of activating the klotho gene (secondary outcomes).

Methods

FIT-AGEING will recruit 80 sedentary, healthy adults (50% women) aged 45-65 years old. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to a non-exercise group, i.e. the control group, (n?=?20), a physical activity recommendation from World Health Organization group (n?=?20), a high intensity interval training group (n?=?20), and a whole-body electromyostimulation group (n?=?20). The laboratory measurements will be taken at the baseline and 12 weeks later including the S-Klotho plasma levels, physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength), body composition, basal metabolic rate, heart rate variability, maximal fat oxidation, health blood biomarkers, free-living physical activity, sleep habits, reaction time, cognitive variables, and health-related questionnaires. We will also obtain dietary habits data and cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Project description:BackgroundHispanic women and children who become overweight or obese are at risk for developing prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease later in life. Interdisciplinary interventions which target Hispanic women and their 3-5-year old children to improve nutrition and physical activity behaviors, manage adiposity and weight in mothers, and prevent excessive adiposity and weight gain trajectory in their children offer promise to break the intergenerational cycle.MethodsUsing a randomized two-group, repeated measures experimental design, the goal of the proposed study is to investigate the efficacy of a 12-week nutrition and physical activity program including education, coping skills training, and home-based intervention in Hispanic women and their 3-5-year old children. The program includes 6 months of continued monthly contact to help overweight and obese Hispanic mothers and their children improve adiposity, weight (trajectory for children), health behaviors (nutrition and physical activity), and self-efficacy We will partner with two federally qualified health departments in Durham and Chatham counties, North Carolina to enroll participants. We will partner with community centers to deliver the intervention. A total of 294 Hispanic women with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and 294 Hispanic 3-5-year old children with a ≥ 25th BMI percentile will be enrolled over 4 years and randomized to the experimental or equal attention control group. Data will be collected at Time 1 (0 months [baseline]) to Time 2 (9 months [completion of the intervention]) and Time 1 to Time 3 (15 months [after 6 months with no contact from the study staff]). Data collected will include adiposity and weight in mothers and children (primary outcomes). Secondary outcomes will include health behaviors and self-efficacy in the mothers and in the children. We will also evaluate the cost of delivering the program for public health departments. We will use general linear mixed models to test the hypotheses.DiscussionDecreasing overweight and obesity in Hispanic women and slowing adiposity and weight gain trajectory in young Hispanic children is urgently needed to decrease morbidity, mortality, and future health care costs.Trial registrationNCT03866902.

Project description:BackgroundModerate intensity exercise is associated with a decreased incidence of atrial fibrillation. However, extensive training in competitive athletes is associated with an increased atrial fibrillation risk. We evaluated the effects of 24 months of high intensity exercise training on left atrial (LA) mechanical and electric remodeling in sedentary, healthy middle-aged adults.MethodsSixty-one participants (53±5 years) were randomized to 10 months of exercise training followed by 14 months of maintenance exercise or stretching/balance control. Fourteen Masters athletes were added for comparison. Left ventricular (LV) and LA volumes underwent 3D echocardiographic assessment, and signal-averaged electrocardiographs for filtered P-wave duration and atrial late potentials were completed at 0, 10, and 24 months. Extended ambulatory monitoring was performed at 0 and 24 months. Within and between group differences from baseline were compared using mixed-effects model repeated-measures analysis.ResultsFifty-three participants completed the study (25 control, 28 exercise) with 88±11% adherence to assigned exercise sessions. In the exercise group, both LA and LV end diastolic volumes increased proportionately (19% and 17%, respectively) after 10 months of training (peak training load). However, only LA volumes continued to increase with an additional 14 months of exercise training (LA volumes 55%; LV end diastolic volumes 15% at 24 months versus baseline; P<0.0001 for all). The LA:LV end diastolic volumes ratio did not change from baseline to 10 months, but increased 31% from baseline in the Ex group ( P<0.0001) at 24 months, without a change in controls. There were no between group differences in the LA ejection fraction, filtered P-wave duration, atrial late potentials, and premature atrial contraction burden at 24 months and no atrial fibrillation was detected. Compared with Masters athletes, the exercise group demonstrated lower absolute LA and LV volumes, but had a similar LA:LV ratio after 24 months of training.ConclusionsTwenty-four months of high intensity exercise training resulted in LA greater than LV mechanical remodeling with no observed electric remodeling. Together, these data suggest different thresholds for electrophysiological and mechanical changes may exist in response to exercise training, and provide evidence supporting a potential mechanism by which high intensity exercise training leads to atrial fibrillation.Clinical trial registrationURL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

Project description:Regular physical activity (PA) is an important part of the treatment of several medical conditions, including overweight and obesity, in which there may be a weakened appetite control. Eating behaviour traits influence weight control and may be different in active and sedentary subjects. This paper reports the relationships between the time spent in sedentary behaviour and physical activity (PA) of different intensity, and eating behaviour traits in young, healthy adults. Additionally, it reports the results of a six-month-long, randomized, controlled trial to examine the effect of an exercise intervention on eating behaviour traits. A total of 139 young (22.06 ± 2.26 years) healthy adults (68.35% women) with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 24.95 ± 4.57 kg/m2 were enrolled. Baseline assessments of habitual PA were made using wrist-worn triaxial accelerometers; eating behaviour traits were examined via the self-reported questionnaires: Binge Eating, Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R18 and Control of Eating Questionnaire. The subjects were then randomly assigned to one of three groups: control (usual lifestyle), moderate-intensity exercise (aerobic and resistance training 3¨C4 days/week at a heart rate equivalent to 60% of the heart rate reserve (HRres) for the aerobic component, and at 50% of the 1 repetition maximum (RM) for the resistance component), or vigorous-intensity exercise (the same training but at 80% HRres for half of the aerobic training, and 70% RM for the resistance training). At baseline, sedentary behaviour was inversely associated with binge eating (r = -0.181, p < 0.05) and with uncontrolled eating (r = -0.286, p = 0.001). Moderate PA (MPA) was inversely associated with craving control (r = -0.188, p < 0.05). Moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) was directly associated with binge eating (r = 0.302, p < 0.001) and uncontrolled eating (r = 0.346, p < 0.001), and inversely associated with craving control (r = -0.170, p < 0.015). Overall, PA was directly associated with binge eating (r = 0.275, p = 0.001), uncontrolled eating (r = 0.321, p < 0.001) and emotional eating (r = 0.204, p < 0.05). Additionally, only emotional eating was modified by the intervention, increasing in the vigorous-intensity exercise group (p < 0.05). In summary, we observed that time spent in sedentary behaviour/PA of different intensity is associated with eating behaviour traits, especially binge eating in young adults. In contrast, the six-month exercise intervention did not lead to appreciable changes in eating behaviour traits.
