Determining the relative validity of a short screener for assessing adherence to a modified Mediterranean diet in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation patients.
(2017-07-29)
The purpose of the study was to determine the relative validity of a short screener used to assess dietary compliance to a modified Mediterranean diet in a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program. Thirty-one participants ...
Physical activity, sedentary behavior, and perceived stress among adults : an application of the theory of planned behavior.
(2016-04-08)
Background: Young and middle-aged adults engage in low levels of physical
activity, high levels of sedentary behavior, and experience high levels of stress.
Examining physical activity and sedentary behavior through the ...
Dating violence risk factors of college students attending a midwest public university.
(2018-04-25)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors of dating violence at a non-faith-based, public university – University of Akron. This is phase II of an ongoing study to identify risk factors of dating violence for ...
Determining related work-to-rest ratios following a maximal effort isokinetic leg extension bout in trained and untrained males : a double-blind creatine/placebo controlled study.
(2010-02-02)
Purpose: A single 30 second bout of high intensity isokinetic exercise is capable of depleting available skeletal muscle Phosphocreatine (PCr) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Within several minutes the body is able to ...
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 monohydrate supplementation on creatine transporter activity and creatine metabolism in resistance trained males.
(2008-10-15)
Creatine is a nutritional supplement that is used for its potential performance enhancing (ergogenic) benefits. It constitutes an important component of the immediate energy system, by which ATP is regenerated during ...
The effects of hypohydration on muscular performance and markers of catabolism in females.
(2017-07-26)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of previous night dehydration on muscular strength, endurance, and lower-body power, perceptual measures, and markers of catabolism in resistance-trained females. Ten ...
Effects of low- and high-intensity single-leg resistance exercise on the mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK1/2 family signal transduction response in skeletal muscle of untrained males.
(2007-02-14)
Acute resistance exercise signals responses in the body to promote adaptations to the exercise stimulus. One key response during and following exercise is the role of signal transduction in the skeletal muscle (MAPK family) ...
Effects of prophylactic supplementation of N-acetyl-cysteine and epigallocatechin gallate on markers of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis after eccentric contraction-induced injury in untrained males.
(2007-02-07)
The purpose of this study was the examine the effects of 14 days of prophylactic supplementation of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on changes in peak torque production, muscle soreness, muscle ...
Effects of low- and high-intensity resistance exercise on skeletal muscle specific transcription factor activity and myosin heavy chain gene expression in males.
(2007-02-07)
A single bout of resistance training is capable of activating the expression of many diverse groups of genes including myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms and the myogenic regulatory factors (MRF). However, the role of ...
