THE EFFECTS OF A TWELVE WEEK SEDENTARY BREAK INTERVENTION VERSUS A STANDARD WALKING PROGRAM IN ADULTS WITH TYPE II DIABETES
(2014-05-09)
PURPOSE: To determine if a 12-week program designed to increase breaks in sedentary time will improve blood glucose control compared to a standard 12-week walking program for patients with Type II Diabetes. METHODS: 19 ...
A Cross Validation of the Effects of Leg Size, Limb Composition, and Blood Pressure on Arterial Occlusion in Women Aged 20 to 30 Years
(2016-05-13)
Blood flow restriction (BFR) on the upper and lower limbs, in combination with resistance training, has been found to increase muscle strength and muscle mass. Previous research has used either arbitrary pressures or a ...
Validity of laboratory and field methods for predicting fat free mass in elite male rowers
(2012)
The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of air displacement plethysmography, ultrasound, near-infrared interactance, and skinfold measurements in estimating fat-free mass in elite male rowers. Twenty-three ...
Comparison of Models in Determining Sarcopenia Status in Older Adults
(2011)
Sarcopenia is defined as the age-related loss of muscle mass and function. The purposes of this study were to examine the consistency among the four different sarcopenia classification models and explore new variables to ...
Multidimensional Functioning in Children with Prenatal Methamphetamine Exposure
(2010)
Methamphetamine is one of the most neurotoxic and addictive drugs of abuse. While prenatal exposure to all illicit drugs is considered detrimental, it might be argued that because of the polydrug nature of methamphetamine ...
Effect of Whey Protein Quality on Physiological Response to Chronic Resistance Exercise in Trained Men: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Trial
(2010)
Acute studies have revealed that insulin and possibly incretin hormone [e.g., glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)] response in humans is significantly affected by whey protein (WP) form [e.g., whey protein isolate (WPI) versus ...
Active Living and Local Government
(2017-05-12)
Purpose: This qualitative study explored a local government’s perceptions of and support for active living and factors that influenced active living decisions and collaboration in one metropolitan city in the southern ...
The effects of aging on markers of satellite cell activity after three sequential bouts of resistance exercise
(2010)
Background. Satellite cell content in human skeletal muscle has shown to be reduced in older versus younger populations. Further, the ability of older satellite cells to proliferate following resistance exercise has been ...
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 ...
Relationship between soleus H reflex and balance metrics in people with multiple sclerosis
(2017-08)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated disease that wreaks havoc on the central nervous system (CNS). The disease attacks and degrades the myelin sheath that insulates axons in the CNS, as well as the cells ...
