Cardiovascular and Muscular Responses to Eight Weeks of Resistance Exercise Training in Young and Older Women
(2013)
PURPOSE: Resistance training is recommended for all adults of both sexes. The time-course of muscle hypertrophy in young and older women and the arterial stiffness and limb blood flow responses to resistance exercise in ...
Muscular and Vascular Adaptations to Low-load Resistance Exercise with and without Blood Flow Restriction in 40 to 64 Year Olds
(2013)
Low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction has been shown to enhance muscular adaptations compared to work-matched low-load resistance training. However, it is unclear if low-load resistance training performed ...
Wnt Signaling Inhibitor Characteristics According to Bone Status, Physical Activity Levels, and Muscle Function in Young and Middle-aged Premenopausal Women
(2017-05-12)
Introduction: Bone metabolism is regulated by the Wnt signaling pathway and is considered to be crucial for skeletal development. There are two glycoproteins that inhibit Wnt function and bone metabolism: sclerostin and ...
AGE AND GENDER DIFFERENCES IN TIBIA STRENGTH AND MORPHOLOGY AND RELATIONSHIPS OF TIBIA MORPHOLOGY TO BONE HEALTH
(2011)
Variability in peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT) measurement sites limits direct comparisons of results between studies. Further, it is unclear what estimates or surrogates of bone strength are most ...
Vitamin D Status: Associations With Chronic Disease Risk Factors And Cognitive Function
(2014-08)
Vitamin D deficiency and/or insufficiency is common in US adults and is linked to increased chronic disease risk. With the identification of vitamin D metabolizing enzymes and the vitamin D receptor in many tissues ...
An evaluation of the inflammatory time course response following traditional and blood flow restriction resistance exercise measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography
(2012)
Acute muscle swelling following resistance exercise can increase mCSA when assessed by pQCT. This swelling does not reflect muscle hypertrophy, but rather a fluid shift in and around the exercised musculature that may ...
THE EFFECTS OF AGING ON SKELETAL MUSCLE MORPHOLOGY AND NEUROMUSCULAR FUNCTION OF THE LEG EXTENSORS
(2011)
The purpose of the present study was to examine the muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), thigh skinfold thickness (SF), maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) peak force (PF), and the log-transformed EMG and MMG amplitude ...
APPLICATION OF INTEGRATIVE BEHAVIOR MODEL TO PREDICT INITIATION OR MAINTENANCE OF STOPPING BINGE DRINKING AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
(2017-08)
With the heightened risk for serious social and physiological consequences, binge drinking is arguably the single most important preventable cause of morbidity and mortality among college students. The negative consequences ...
The Role of the Black Church in Adolescent Sexuality Education
(2017-08)
Objective: To identify pastors’ and parents’ opinions of the Black Church’s role in promoting adolescent sexual health and preventing teen pregnancy. The Black Church institution is an important partner in preventing teen ...
AN EXAMINATION OF ECCENTRIC VERSUS CONCENTRIC UNILATERAL RESISTANCE EXERCISE ON IPSILATERAL AND CONTRALATERAL MOTOR CONTROL STRATEGIES ACROSS AN 8 WEEK TRAINING PERIOD
(2017-05-12)
Traditionally, contralateral training interventions have been applied in the unilateral limb to examine the potential short-term “cross-over” responses and long-term “cross education” adaptations in the contralateral limb. ...
