Influence of age and gender on gait kinematics of pelvis and hip in healthy adults aged 19–60 years by Rajani Mullerpatan, Triveni Shetty, Bela Agarwal

“…Females across all age-groups demonstrated greater hip adduction compared to males (p < 0.05).ConclusionPresent findings add age and gender characterized gait-kinematics data of healthy adults from the most populous country to the existing 3-D data of gait from different populations. Clinicians and engineers, can leverage this knowledge of changing gait kinematics of healthy adults to design specific therapeutic strategies for aging men and women to optimize gait kinematics and advance design and development of locomotor technology suitable for people with rehabilitation needs across the globe.…”

Acute effects of short-term high-intensity interval exercise and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on food-related inhibitory control in obese adults: a randomized controlled cro... by Bo Sun, Bo Sun, Yun-Fei Lu, Ji-Wei Chen, Yi-Lun Xiao, Jie Ren

“…Additionally, female participants showed enhanced N2 amplitudes in NoGo trials involving low-calorie food images under the HIIE condition, and no significant difference between NoGo and Go P3 amplitudes when responding to high-calorie food stimuli.Conclusion(1) HIIE may enhance behavioral response speed in obese males through non-inhibitory optimization of the prefrontal–striatal pathway, reflecting the neural efficiency hypothesis associated with short-term exercise; (2) MIAE may improve conflict monitoring in obese females, facilitating a shift in inhibitory control over high-calorie foods from active suppression to automated processing. …”
