Abstract
Exercise plays an important role in the management of diabetes and is associated with many benefits such as decreased morbidity and mortality. For people exhibiting signs and symptoms of cardiovascular disease, pre-exercise medical clearance is warranted; however, requiring broad screening requirements can lead to unnecessary barriers to initiating an exercise program. Robust evidence supports the promotion of both aerobic and resistance training, with evidence emerging on the importance of reducing sedentary time. For people with type 1 diabetes, there are special considerations, including hypoglycemia risk and prevention, exercise timing (including prandial status), and differences in glycemic responses based on biological sex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although patients with coronary artery disease can benefit from adequate physical activity, low physical activity levels have been reported among these patients. Gender-based disparities might contribute to variations in physical activity. However, knowledge regarding gender differences in factors associated with physical activity among patients with coronary artery disease is limited. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine gender differences in factors associated with physical activity in Taiwanese patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS A cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 215 patients with coronary artery disease was recruited from 1 medical center in northern Taiwan. Participants were interviewed using structured questionnaires to obtain information regarding their demographics, physical conditions, physical activity, self-efficacy, social support, and community exercise environment. RESULTS Only 17.8% of male patients and 20% of female patients reported performing the recommended physical activity level. Men performed more vigorous and work-related activities, whereas women engaged in more household activities. In both genders, physical activity was significantly associated with age, disease symptoms, social support, self-efficacy, and environmental appraisal. Self-efficacy and age were significantly associated with physical activity in the linear regression analysis. Among male patients, physical activity was also related to work status, angina, comorbidity, medication, and hospitalizations, whereas disease duration was associated with physical activity among female patients. CONCLUSION Patients of both genders reported low levels of physical activity. Nurses should recognize gender differences in factors associated with physical activity in patients with coronary artery disease and develop individualized physical activity programs to improve patients' physical activity.

Abstract
Type 1 (T1) and type 2 (T2) diabetes mellitus (DM) are significant precursors and comorbidities to cardiovascular disease and prevalence of both types is still rising globally. Currently,~25% of participants (and rising) attending cardiac rehabilitation in Europe, North America and Australia have been reported to have DM (>90% have T2DM). While there is some debate over whether improving glycaemic control in those with heart disease can independently improve future cardiovascular health-related outcomes, for the individual patient whose blood glucose is well controlled, it can aid the exercise programme in being more efficacious. Good glycaemic management not only helps to mitigate the risk of acute glycaemic events during exercising, it also aids in achieving the requisite physiological and psycho-social aims of the exercise component of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). These benefits are strongly associated with effective behaviour change, including increased enjoyment, adherence and self-efficacy. It is known that CR participants with DM have lower uptake and adherence rates compared with those without DM. This expert statement provides CR practitioners with nine recommendations aimed to aid in the participant's improved blood glucose control before, during and after exercise so as to prevent the risk of glycaemic events that could mitigate their beneficial participation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthcare professionals play a key role in supporting physical activity participation for people with lower limb absence. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to survey healthcare professionals' views of people with lower limb absence in the United Kingdom, explore their awareness and knowledge of physical activity recommendations and investigate their current and desirable practice towards physical activity promotion. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Potential participants were identified from open-access health-related databases, educational institution databases, and the authors' professional networks. An online 40-item questionnaire was distributed electronically and by post. Survey items were multiple choice, Likert-type scale or open-ended questions to explore the characteristics of healthcare professionals, awareness/knowledge of physical activity guidelines, current and desired practice and views on physical activity promotion. RESULTS In total, 106 people responded. Physiotherapists had greater awareness/knowledge of physical activity guidelines compared to prosthetists/orthotists and other respondents. Awareness/knowledge of guidelines decreased as age, experience and time since qualification increased. The most common source of knowledge was self-directed learning. CONCLUSION Continuing and improving education on the content of physical activity guidelines may be helpful for healthcare professionals in promoting physical activity to those with lower limb absence. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This research aims to inform prosthetic rehabilitation professionals and academics about an under-researched area within physical activity for health. This knowledge could help develop interventions with the aim of improving physical activity promotion and participation, and ultimately the health and well-being of people with limb absence.

Abstract
We compared the time constant (τV̇O2) of the fundamental phase of pulmonary oxygen uptake (V̇o2) kinetics between young adult men with type 1 diabetes and healthy control subjects. We also assessed the impact of priming exercise on τV̇O2, critical power, and muscle deoxygenation in a subset of participants with type 1 diabetes. Seventeen men with type 1 diabetes and 17 healthy male control subjects performed moderate-intensity exercise to determine τV̇O2. A subset of seven participants with type 1 diabetes performed an additional eight visits, in which critical power, τV̇O2, and muscle deoxyhemoglobin + myoglobin ([HHb+Mb], via near-infrared spectroscopy) kinetics (described by a time constant, τ[HHb+Mb]) were determined with (PRI) and without (CON) a prior 6-min bout of heavy exercise. τV̇O2 was greater in participants with type 1 diabetes compared with control subjects (type 1 diabetes 50 ± 13 vs. control 32 ± 12 s; P < 0.001). Critical power was greater in PRI compared with CON (PRI 161 ± 25 vs. CON 149 ± 22 W; P < 0.001), whereas τV̇O2 (PRI 36 ± 15 vs. CON 50 ± 21 s; P = 0.006) and τ[HHb+Mb] (PRI 10 ± 5 vs. CON 17 ± 11 s; P = 0.037) were reduced in PRI compared with CON. Type 1 diabetes patients showed slower pulmonary V̇o2 kinetics compared with control subjects; priming exercise speeded V̇o2 and [HHb + Mb] kinetics and increased critical power in a subgroup with type 1 diabetes. These data therefore represent the first characterization of the power-duration relationship in type 1 diabetes and the first experimental evidence that τV̇O2 is an independent determinant of critical power in this population.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Patients with type 1 diabetes demonstrated slower oxygen uptake (V̇o2) kinetics compared with healthy control subjects. Furthermore, a prior bout of high-intensity exercise speeded V̇o2 kinetics and increased critical power in people with type 1 diabetes. Prior exercise speeded muscle deoxygenation kinetics, indicating that V̇o2 kinetics in type 1 diabetes are limited primarily by oxygen extraction and/or intracellular factors. These findings highlight the potential for interventions that decrease metabolic inertia for enhancing exercise tolerance in this condition.

Abstract
Resistance exercise using free weights or weight machines improves glycaemic control and strength in people with type 2 diabetes. Resistance band training is potentially less expensive and more accessible, but the effects of resistance band training on glycaemic control and strength in this population are not well understood. This paper aims to systematically review and meta-analyse the effect of resistance band training on haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and strength in adults with type 2 diabetes. Database searches were performed in August 2013 (MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, EMBASE, and CINAHL). Reference lists of eligible articles were hand-searched for additional studies. Randomised trials evaluating the effects of resistance band training in adults with type 2 diabetes on HbA1c or objectively measured strength were selected. Baseline and post-intervention HbA1c and strength were extracted for the intervention and control groups. Details of the exercise interventions and methodological quality were collected. Seven trials met inclusion criteria. Post-intervention-weighted mean HbA1c was nonsignificantly lower in exercise groups compared to control groups [weighted mean difference (WMD) = -0.18 percentage points (-1.91 mmol/mol); P = 0.27]. Post-intervention strength was significantly higher in the exercise groups compared to the control groups in the lower extremities (WMD = 21.90 kg; P < 0.0001), but not in the upper extremities (WMD = 2.27 kg; P = 0.13) or handgrip (WMD = 1.98 kg; P = 0.46). All trials were small and had methodological limitations. Resistance band training did not significantly affect HbA1c, upper extremity, or handgrip strength but significantly increased the strength of the lower extremities in people with type 2 diabetes.
