The effects of a 12-week resistance training program combined with casein or whey protein supplementation on body composition, muscle strength, and markers of satellite cell activation in older males.
(2010-10-08)Resistance training and protein supplementation have been shown to increase muscle mass and strength, and thus may be an effective method to combat muscle wasting (sarcopenia) that occurs with aging. Thirty-six males (62.5 ... -
Effects of a high protein diet on weight loss, markers of health, and functional capacity in senior-aged females participating in the Curves® fitness program.
(2008-12-01)Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of elderly females aged 60-75 years following the Curves fitness and weight loss program on body composition, markers of health, and functional capacity. Methods: 55 senior aged ... -
Effects of a multicomponent school-based intervention on health markers, body composition, physical fitness, and psychological measures in overweight and obese adolescent females.
(2008-11-18)The purpose of this study was to determine whether participation in a multicomponent school-based intervention using circuit-resistance training, dietary intervention and behavioral modification had an effect on health ... -
The effects of active and passive recovery on blood lactate in collegiate female tennis players.
(2007-03-08)Purpose: To examine the effects of active and passive recovery on lactate in females and to determine if a relationship exists between power and blood lactate concentration. Methods: Nine (9) female athletes performed two ... -
Effects of arachidonic acid supplementation on training adaptations in resistance-trained males.
(2007-02-09)The purpose of this study was to determine if 50 days of resistance training and arachidonic acid (AA) supplementation elicited changes in body composition, performance variables, hormonal/cytokine levels (i.e. prostaglandins, ... -
Effects of blood flow restriction resistance training on strength, vascular and motor function in persons with Parkinson's disease.
(2020-04-22)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that displays itself most notably through motor symptom disruptions. The first line of defense for persons with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) is carbidopa-levodopa ... -
Effects of carbohydrate supplementation on resistance exercise performance, blood glucose, endocrine and metabolite responses, immediately before exercise and during recovery.
(2019-07-22)The positive effects of carbohydrate supplementation on aerobic exercise has been studied extensively. However, less information is known on carbohydrate supplementation before resistance exercise and its effects on post ... -
Effects of concentric and eccentric muscle contractions on IL-6 signaling in human skeletal muscle and downstream regulation of HSP-72 gene expression : Is IL-6 signaling involved in exercise-induced cytoprotection?
(2009-04-01)Purpose: To determine the effects of concentric and eccentric muscle contractions on IL-6 signaling and its possible downstream regulation of HSP-72 expression in human skeletal muscle, and whether contraction-induced ... -
The effects of creatine ethyl ester supplementation combined with resistance training on body composition, muscle mass and performance, and intramuscular creatine uptake in males.
(2008-12-01)Creatine monohydrate has become one of the most popular ingested nutritional supplements due to its potential enhancement of athletic performance. Creatine absorption from the serum into skeletal muscle occurs through the ... -
The effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation on creatine transporter activity and creatine metabolism in resistance trained males.
