Changes in cardiovascular health and physical functioning in non‐hospitalized, adult COVID‐19 patients after 3 years of follow‐up Long-term cardiovascular consequences of COVID-19 remain unclear, particularly in non-hospitalized individuals. We investigated longitudinal changes (~3 years) in cardiovascular risk factors,…

This investigation of long-term (~3yr) #cardiovascular consequences of #COVID-19 in non-hospitalised adults reports no changes in examined parameters versus a healthy age- and sex-matched control group.

Associations between androgen levels and endurance training‐induced changes in body composition and physical performance in premenopausal females We investigated whether a moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) for two menstrual/contraceptive cycles (~8 weeks) alters endogenous androgen concentrations in premenopausal females, and…

Baseline #androgen levels in premenopausal females and their changes with medium-intensity endurance #exercise training are reported to not consistently be related to #bodycomposition or physical performance.
