Power of Exercise: Countering High Genetic Risk of Type 2 Diabetes — Can physical activity ‘fight |
A new study has found a strong correlation between high levels of physical activity and a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes, even among individuals with a high genetic predisposition for the condition.
The UK Biobank is a large-scale biomedical database and research resource containing anonymized genetic, lifestyle, and health information from half a million UK participants. Senior author Associate Professor Melody Ding from the Charles Perkins Centre and the Faculty of Medicine and Health says although the role of genetics and physical activity in the onset of type 2 diabetes is well established, until now most data was self-reported and there was little evidence whether the genetic risk could be counteracted by physical activity.
Examples of vigorous-intensity physical activity include running, aerobic dancing, cycling uphill or at a fast pace, and heavy gardening such as digging – all activities that make you out of breath or cause you to breathe heavily.Diabetes is a global public health concern. In 2021, there were 537 million adults living with diabetes worldwide.The findings also hold a strong personal meaning for Associate Professor Ding, whose father was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in his sixties.

Wearable energy harvesting-storage hybrid textiles as on-body self-charging power systemsThe rapid development of wearable electronics requires its energy supply part to be flexible, wearable, integratable and sustainable. However, some of the energy supply units cannot meet these requirements at the same time, and there is also a capacity limitation of the energy storage units, and the development of sustainable wearable self-charging power supplies is crucial. Here, we report a wearable sustainable energy harvesting-storage hybrid self-charging power textile. The power textile consists of a coaxial fiber-shaped polylactic acid/reduced graphene oxide/polypyrrole (PLA-rGO-PPy) triboelectric nanogenerator (fiber-TENG) that can harvest low-frequency and irregular energy during human motion as a power generation unit, and a novel coaxial fiber-shaped supercapacitor (fiber-SC) prepared by functionalized loading of a wet-spinning graphene oxide fiber as an energy storage unit. The fiber-TENG is flexible, knittable, wearable and adaptable for integration with various portable electronics. The coaxial fiber-SC has high volumetric energy density and good cycling stability. The fiber-TENG and fiber-SC are flexible yarn structures for wearable continuous human movement energy harvesting and storage as on-body self-charging power systems, with light-weight, ease of preparation, great portability and wide applicability. The integrated power textile can provide an efficient route for sustainable working of wearable electronics.
