Abstract
Chronic remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), particularly long-term repeated RIC, has been applied in clinical trials with the expectation that it could play its protective roles for protracted periods. In sports medicine, chronic RIC has also been demonstrated to improve exercise performance, akin to improvements seen with regular exercise training. Therefore, chronic RIC may mimic regular exercise, and they may have similar underlying mechanisms. In this study, we explored the common underlying mechanisms of chronic RIC and physical exercise in protecting multiple organs and benefiting various populations, the advantages of chronic RIC, and the challenges for its popularization. Intriguingly, several underlying mechanisms of RIC and exercise have been shown to overlap. These include the production of many autacoids, enhanced ability for antioxidant activity, modulating immune and inflammatory responses. Therefore, it appears that chronic RIC, just like regular exercise, has beneficial effects in unhealthy, sub-healthy and healthy individuals. Compared with regular exercise, chronic RIC has several advantages, which may provide novel insights into the area of exercise and health. Chronic RIC may enrich the modes of exercise, and benefit individuals with severe diseases. Also, the disabled, and sub-healthy individuals are likely to benefit from chronic RIC either as an alternative to exercise or an adjunct to pharmacological or non-pharmacological therapy.

Abstract
It is known that moderate exercise can prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases, but the exact molecular mechanisms mediating cardioprotective effect of exercise remain unknown. Emerging evidence suggests that exercise has great impact on the biogenesis of exosomes, which have been found in both interstitial fluid and circulation, and play important roles in cellular communication. Exosomes carry functional molecules such as mRNAs, microRNA, and specific proteins, which can be used in the early diagnosis and targeted therapy of a variety of diseases. Our review focus on the current knowledge on exosome production, secretion, uptake and how exercise influence exosome content. We also highlight recent research development in exosome based approach for cardiac repair.

Abstract
Cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs when the myocardium is revascularized after an episode of limited or absent blood supply. Many changes, including free radical production, calcium overload, protease activation, altered membrane lipids and leukocyte activation, contribute to IRI-induced myocardium damage. Aerobic exercise is the only countermeasure against IRI that can be sustained on a regular basis in clinical practice. Interestingly, both short-term (3-5 days) and long-term (several weeks) exercise increase myocardial tolerance, reduce infarct size area and arrhythmias induced by IRI. Exercise protects the heart against IRI in a biphasic manner. The early phase of cardioprotection occurs between 30 min and 3 h following an acute exercise bout, whilst the late phase is achieved within 24 h after the exercise bout and persists for several days. As for the exercise intensity, although controversial data exists, it is feasible that the amount of cardioprotection is proportional to exercise intensity and only achieved above a critical threshold. It is known that aerobic exercise produces a cardioprotective phenotype, however the mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon remain unclear. Apparently, aerobic exercise-induced preconditioning is dependent on several factors that work together to protect the heart. Altered nitric oxide (NO) signaling, increased levels of heat shock proteins (HSPs), enhanced function of ATP-sensitive potassium channels, increased activation of opioids system, and enhanced antioxidant capacity may contribute to exercise-induced cardioprotection. Much has been discovered from animal models involving exercise-induced cardioprotection against cardiac IRI, however translating these findings to clinical practice still represents the major challenge in this field.

Abstract
Cellular and physiological adaptations to an atmosphere which became enriched in molecular oxygen spurred the development of a layered system of stress protection, including antioxidant and stress response proteins. At physiological levels reactive oxygen and nitrogen species regulate cell signalling as well as intracellular and intercellular communication. Exercise and physical activity confer a variety of stressors on skeletal muscle and the cardiovascular system: mechanical, metabolic, oxidative. Transient increases of stressors during acute bouts of exercise or exercise training stimulate enhancement of cellular stress protection against future insults of oxidative, metabolic and mechanical stressors that could induce injury or disease. This phenomenon has been termed both hormesis and exercise preconditioning (EPC). EPC stimulates transcription factors such as Nrf-1 and heat shock factor-1 and up-regulates gene expression of a cadre of cytosolic (e.g. glutathione peroxidase and heat shock proteins) and mitochondrial adaptive or stress proteins (e.g. manganese superoxide dismutase, mitochondrial KATP channels and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ coactivator-1 (PGC-1)). Stress response and antioxidant enzyme inducibility with exercise lead to protection against striated muscle damage, oxidative stress and injury. EPC may indeed provide significant clinical protection against ischaemia-reperfusion injury, Type II diabetes and ageing. New molecular mechanisms of protection, such as δ-opioid receptor regulation and mitophagy, reinforce the notion that mitochondrial adaptations (e.g. heat shock proteins, antioxidant enzymes and sirtuin-1/PGC-1 signalling) are central to the protective effects of exercise preconditioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Furthermore, research has shown that exercise, in addition to reducing cardiovascular risk factors, can also protect the heart against injury due to ischemia and reperfusion through a direct effect on the myocardium. However, the specific mechanism involved in exerciseinduced cardiac preconditioning is still under debate. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review of the studies that have addressed the mechanisms by which aerobic exercise promotes direct cardioprotection against ischemia and reperfusion injury. METHODS A search was conducted using MEDLINE, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde, and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases. Data were extracted in a standardized manner by two independent researchers, who were responsible for assessing the methodological quality of the studies. RESULTS The search retrieved 78 studies; after evaluating the abstracts, 30 studies were excluded. The manuscripts of the remaining 48 studies were completely read and, of these, 20 were excluded. Finally, 28 studies were included in this systematic review. CONCLUSION On the basis of the selected studies, the following are potentially involved in the cardioprotective response to exercise: increased heat shock protein production, nitric oxide pathway involvement, increased cardiac antioxidant capacity, improvement in ATP-dependent potassium channel function, and opioid system activation. Despite all the previous investigations, further research is still necessary to obtain more consistent conclusions.

Abstract
Regular and moderate exercise has been considered as an interesting neuroprotective strategy. However, the molecular mechanisms by which physical exercise alters brain function are unclear. Purinergic signaling seems to modulate the pathophysiology of ischemic neuronal damage, since it has been described a neuroprotective activity of adenosine and a dual role of ATP. In the present study, we investigated the effect of daily moderate intensity exercise on ectonucleotidase activities in synaptosomes from hippocampus and the soluble nucleotidases from blood serum of rats. Adult male Wistar rats were assigned to non-exercised (sedentary) group and exercised during 20-min sessions on different programs. The effects of physical activity on hydrolysis of ATP, ADP and AMP were assayed in the synaptosomal fraction obtained from the hippocampus and serum approximately 16 h after the last training session. Our data demonstrated that a neuroprotective exercise protocol, daily 20 min of training in treadmill during 2 weeks, diminished significantly the ADP hydrolysis and there is a trend to reduce the ATP hydrolysis in both hippocampal synaptosomes and blood serum of rats. We suggest that the neuroprotective exercise protocol may modulate nucleotidase activities.

Abstract
Since Murry et al. [Murry, C.E., Jennings, R.B., Reimer, K.A., 1986. Preconditioning with ischemia: a delay of lethal cell injury in ischemic myocardium. Circulation. 74, 1124-36.] initially reported on the powerful protective effects of ischemic preconditioning (PC), a plethora of experimental investigations have identified varied preconditioning protocols or mimetics to achieve cardioprotection. These stimuli predominantly act via archetypal mediators identified in associated signalling studies (including PI3-K, Akt, PKC, mitochondrial K(ATP) channels). Despite an intense research effort over the last 20 years, there remains a paucity of evidence that this protective paradigm is clinically exploitable. This may arise due to a number of drawbacks to conventional protection, including effects of age, disease, and interactions with other pharmacological agents. This encourages investigation of alternate strategies that trigger protection via unconventional signalling (distinct from conventional PC) and/or mediate sustained shifts in ischemic tolerance in hearts of varying age and disease status. This review considers briefly drawbacks to conventional PC, and focuses on alternate strategies for generating prolonged states of cardiac protection.

Abstract
The induction of cellular acquired thermal tolerance (ATT) during heat acclimation (HA) in humans is not well described. This study determined whether exercise-HA modifies the human heat shock protein (HSP)72 and HSP90 responses and whether changes are correlated with physiological adaptations to HA. Using a 10-day HA protocol comprising daily exercise (treadmill walking) in a hot environment ( Ta = 49°C, 20% RH), we analyzed baseline and ex vivo heat-induced expression of HSP72 and HSP90 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated prior to exercise from eight subjects on day 1 and 10 of the HA protocol. Classical physiological responses to HA were observed, including significantly reduced heart rate and core body temperature, and significantly increased sweating rate. Baseline levels of HSP72 and HSP90 were significantly increased following acclimation by 17.7 ± 6.1% and 21.1 ± 6.5%, respectively. Ex vivo induction of HSP72 in PBMCs exposed to heat shock (43°C) was blunted on day 10 compared with day 1. A correlation was identified ( r2 = 0.89) between changes in core temperature elevation and ex vivo HSP90 responses to heat shock between days 1 and 10, indicating that volunteers demonstrating the greatest physiological HA tended to exhibit the greatest blunting of ex vivo HSP induction in response to heat shock. In summary, 1) exercise-HA resulted in increased baseline levels of HSP72 and HSP90, 2) ex vivo heat inducibility of HSP72 was blunted after HA, and 3) volunteers demonstrating the greatest physiological HA tended to exhibit the greatest blunting of ex vivo HSP induction in response to heat shock. These data demonstrate that physiological adaptations in humans undergoing HA are accompanied by both increases in baseline levels and changes in regulation of cytoprotective HSPs.

Abstract
It is now well established that exercise can result in cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury; however, the adaptations within the heart that provide the protection are still in doubt. The cytoprotective proteins receiving the most attention to date are antioxidant enzymes and heat shock proteins. The extent of I-R injury is dependent on the interactions of several events, including energy depletion, metabolite accumulation, oxidant stress, and calcium overload. Adaptations that directly influence any of these could affect I-R outcome. Thus, the exercise-induced cardioprotective phenotype is likely to include additional cytoprotective proteins beyond antioxidant enzymes or heat shock proteins. In this review, we will consider evidence for some of these in the cytosol, mitochondria, and sarcolemma of the cardiomyocyte. We will not consider potentially important adaptations within vascular tissue or the autonomic nervous system. Results of recent studies support the hypothesis that exercise leads to cardioprotective adaptations that are unique from other forms of preconditioning against I-R injury.

Abstract
Myocardial injury is a major contributor to the morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease. Regular exercise has been confirmed as a pragmatic countermeasure to protect against cardiac injury. Specifically, endurance exercise has been proven to provide cardioprotection against cardiac insults in both young and old animals. Proposed mechanisms to explain the cardioprotective effects of exercise are mediated, at least partially, by redox changes and include the induction of myocardial heat shock proteins, improved cardiac antioxidant capacity, and/or elevation of other cardioprotective molecules. Understanding the molecular basis for exercise-induced cardioprotection is important in developing exercise strategies to protect the heart during and after insults. Data suggest that these positive modulator effects occur at different levels of cellular organization, being mitochondria fundamental organelles that are sensitive to disturbances imposed by exercise on basal homeostasis. At present, which of these protective mechanisms is essential for exercise-induced cardioprotection remains unclear. This review analyzes the biochemical, morphological and functional outcomes of acute and chronic exercise on the overall cardiac muscle tissue and in isolated mitochondria. Some redox-based mechanisms behind the cross-tolerance effects particularly induced by endurance training, against certain stressors responsible for the impairments in cardiac homeostasis caused by aging, diabetes, drug administration or ischemia-reperfusion are also outlined. Further work should be addressed in order to clarify the precise regulatory mechanisms by which physical exercise augments heart tolerance against many cardiotoxic agents.
