The possible influence of the quality of breathing on physical activity remains the subject of
numerous scien- tific studies in different fields, including not only the most basic physiological and
biological concepts but also the fields of psychiatry, psychology, and neuroscience. The literature
about the relationship between breathing and psychophysiological factors is continuously growing,
and several studies have investigated the influence of breathing techniques on human beings. This
review aims to give a literature overview of the respiratory function impact on psychopathology,
taking into account anxiety disorders, physical activity, and the relationship be- tween them.
Literature investigating different topics involving the influence of breathing on anxiety disorders,
the influence of breathing on physical activity and related anxiety disorders showed an association
between them even if this relationship is not well clarified. Regular physical activity could become
even a primary or pref- erential treatment. Relaxation techniques, as well as motor visualization,
mindfulness, and even oral appliances, could help people improve their general condition with the
improvement of the control of their psychophysical performance. Further literature with different
physical activities and experiences regarding psychodynamic treat- ments could assume a new
scenario.

M. (2023). Impact of Moderate Physical Activity on Inflammatory Markers and Telomere Length
in Sedentary and Moderately Active Individuals with Varied Insulin Sensitivity. Journal of

Physical activity-associated immune response plays a crucial role in the aging process. This study
aimed to determine the impact of short-term moderate physical activity on cytokine levels,
oxidative stress markers, and telomere length in lean/overweight young subjects. Fasting blood
samples were collected from 368 participants at Qatar Biobank. Based on their homeostatic model
assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), participants were categorized as insulin sensitive (IS)
or insulin resistant (IR). Subsequently, they were divided into four groups: sedentary IS (n = 90),
sedentary IR (n = 90), moderately active IS (n = 94), and moderately active IR (n = 94). Moderate
physical activity was defined as walking at least two days per week for more than 150 minutes, as
determined by physical activity questionnaires. Serum samples were analyzed for circulating
inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-1RA, IL-6, IL-10, IL-22, MCP-1/CCL2, TNF-α), as well as
antioxidant enzyme levels (SOD and catalase). Telomere lengths were measured in the respective
DNA samples. Moderately active IR participants exhibited significantly lower SOD activity, while
catalase activity did not show significant differences. Moderately active IS participants had higher
IL-6 and IL-10 levels compared to sedentary IS participants, with no significant differences
observed in the IR counterparts. Telomere length did not significantly differ between the physically
active and sedentary groups.This study highlights the potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidative stress effects of moderate physical activity in individuals with insulin sensitivity and
insulin resistance. However, no significant changes in telomere length were observed, suggesting
a complex relationship between physical activity and the aging process. Further research is needed
to fully understand the underlying mechanisms and optimize the balance between antiinflammation and anti-oxidation through exercise and lifestyle adjustments.
