Dose–response effects of exercise training on the subjective sleep quality of postmenopausal women: exploratory analyses of a randomised controlled trial
Christopher E. Kline,Xuemei Sui,Martica H. Hall,Shawn D. Youngstedt,Shawn D. Youngstedt,Steven N. Blair,Conrad P. Earnest,Timothy S. Church +7 more
TL;DR: Exercise training induced significant improvement in subjective sleep quality in postmenopausal women, with even a low dose of exercise resulting in greatly reduced odds of having significant sleep disturbance.
Use of quantile regression to investigate the longitudinal association between physical activity and body mass index
Matteo Bottai,Edward A. Frongillo,Xuemei Sui,Jennifer R. O'Neill,Robert E. McKeown,Robert E. McKeown,Trudy L. Burns,Angela D. Liese,Steven N. Blair,Russell R. Pate +9 more
TL;DR: To examine associations among age, physical activity (PA), and birth cohort on body mass index (BMI) percentiles in men, a cohort study of men born in the 1970s and 1980s is examined.
Heart rate variability and exercise in aging women
TL;DR: Despite no improvement in VO(2max) and HRV, parasympathetic indices of HRV increased in women ≥60 years, and this is clinically important, as HRV has important CVD risk and neurovisceral implications beyond cardiorespiratory function.
Pedometer Indices for Weekly Physical Activity Recommendations in Postmenopausal Women
TL;DR: Initially sedentary postmenopausal women can meet 50%, 100%, and 150% of the current public health recommendation of weekly physical activity through planned moderate-intensity walking, accumulating an average of about 2800 (50), 5500 (100%), and 6500 steps.

Chong-Do Lee,Steven N. Blair +1 more
TL;DR: Moderate and high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness were associated with lower risk of stroke mortality in men in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal study population.
