Filter by:Protein supplementation is one of the main recommendations for regular endurance physical exercise (RT). In older people, the need for protein increases particularly in the face of physiological and pathophysiological changes associated with the loss of muscle tissue and function, so protein intake becomes more relevant in this population. Fermented dairy products such as yogurt, and especially those with an extra protein content, have increased their popularity and consumption in the national market. Their nutritional composition is of particular interest, given their amino acid profile and in particular their high Leucine content, which could be compared with the classic protein supplements recommended for muscle gain and recovery. Objective: To analyze the effect on body composition, lipid profile, physical condition and muscle functionality induced by the intake of high protein yogurts versus Whey protein together with a muscular resistance program in elderly people. Hypothesis: The intake of high protein yogurts will lead to equal or greater gains in muscle mass, physical condition and functionality than those obtained with the intake of Whey protein together with resistance training in elderly people.Methodology: 16 healthy, lactose intolerant free, older (60-75 years old) subjects will be recruited to perform 8 weeks of muscular resistance training (RT) 3 times per week, who will be randomly supplemented with high protein yogurt (PY) or Whey protein (WP). At baseline and at the end of the intervention, body composition will be assessed by DEXA, muscle strength, maximal oxygen consumption and lipid profile. Expected Results: The YPRT group is expected to achieve similar or greater increases in muscle strength, fat-free mass, lipid profile and decrease in fat mass than the WP group.
Running form and technique have a direct influence on a runner's economy, and therefore small changes in specific running mechanics could be useful to improving running performance. The thumb plays an important role in the functionality of the foot. During standing, the big toe is more loaded than the head of the five metatarsals and the heel. In this study, it will aimed to examine the relationship of big toe strength with parameters that affect anaerobic athletic performance in runners. In this study, it will aim to examine the relationship of big toe strength with parameters that affect anaerobic athletic performance in runners such as vertical jump, horizontally jumping, strength, agility and speed. The study design will be Randomized Controlled Trial. This study will be conducted in Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) Lahore. The study will be completed within the time duration of eight to ten months after the approval of synopsis. Sample size will be 30 subjects. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to recruit the individuals for the study and then randomization will be done by lottery method to divide the individuals into 2 treatment groups. The experimental group is given big toe strengthening program for 4 weeks along with running training on other hand control group will do only their running training and after that measures their pre post values on SPSS 25.
The purpose of this study is examine the effects of 8 weeks (3 days/week) of resistance exercise training in children 8 to 10 years of age on muscle strength, activation, and lipids of the vastus lateralis.
In recent years, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) devices have been developed as a complementary training technique that is novel, attractive, and time-saving for physical fitness and rehabilitation. While it is known that EMS training can improve muscle mass and strength, most studies have focused on the elderly or specific patient populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of frequency-specific EMS combined with resistance exercise training for 8 weeks on muscle mass, strength, power, body composition, and parameters related to exercise fatigue. Additionally, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of EMS as an exercise aid to improve body composition. We recruited 14 male and 14 female subjects who were randomly assigned to two groups with gender parity (7 male and 7 female/group): (1) no EMS group and (2) daily EMS group. Blood biochemical routine analysis was performed every 4 weeks from pre-intervention to post-intervention, and body composition, muscle strength, and explosive power were evaluated 8 weeks before and after the intervention. We also performed an exercise challenge analysis of fatigue biochemical indicators after 8 weeks of intervention.
The study investigated the effects of three contrast training sessions in a week on post-activation countermovement jump performance in high strength male.
Background: In postmenopausal women, an alteration in body composition occurs as a consequence of the secretion of low levels of serum estrogens by the ovaries. Observing an increase in abdominal and mammary fat mass and a decrease in skeletal muscle mass, which is also accompanied by loss of muscle strength and physical function, which leads early to a sarcopenia. On the other hand, the increase in estrogen production by adipose tissue has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer during menopause because the mammary parenchyma is particularly sensitive to this type of estrogen. For this reason, Hormone Therapy (Aromatase Inhibitors and Tamoxifen) is prescribed in women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Antineoplastic treatments (Chemotherapy and Hormonal Therapy) have contributed to non-metastatic breast cancer currently presenting a high survival rate, not without adverse effects associated with the course of the disease, age and antineoplastic treatment, affecting various systems, but particularly skeletal muscle mass. Therefore, resistance exercise training has been proposed as an effective intervention strategy to increase muscle mass and strength in different populations. However, the level of muscle response to this type of training in postmenopausal women survivors of breast cancer with and without hormone treatment (Aromatase Inhibitors and Tamoxifen) is unknown.
Within the routine of resistance training, stimulus are implemented to meet predetermined goals for its practitioners. In order for there to be a balance in the imposed loads, a recovery period is necessary for supercompensation to occur. Recovery is a multifactorial process and to consider an individual recovered it is necessary to respect the integration of physiological, biomechanical and psychological factors, in addition, perceptual markers, which are not widely investigated in the literature, seem to be effective recovery markers. Massage is a technique that stands out for its wide use after physical exercise in order to help accelerate the recovery process. In the literature, studies that investigated the influence of massage on performance did not find positive results and some authors question the real need to apply the technique to aid recovery. However, in the perceptual parameters, massage seems to have a good influence, such as pain reduction, perception of fatigue and improvement in the perception of recovery. Thus, understanding the experience that massage can provide during a training period can be an important outcome along with variables already used. The hypothesis of this study is that massage will improve perceptual parameters over a training period and, consequently, will improve the experience between training sessions without positively or negatively interfering in performance.
The investigators propose to compare the effects of a 16-week specially designed yoga program to a power-based resistance training program on affect trait mindfulness, anxiety, depression, functionality, and quality of life. As secondary measures, we propose to compare the effects of these exercise programs on measures of executive function (EF), sleep, disease stage, motor symptoms, muscle quality, rigidity, strength, power, and mobility.
The investigators propose to compare the effects of a 12-week load resistance training program to a velocity resistance training program on ultrasound measures of quadriceps muscle quality in a healthy, older adult population. As secondary measures, The investigators propose to compare the effects of these exercise programs on maximal strength, power, and functional movements such as the chair sit-to-stand and gait speed. Further, The investigators will evaluate the impact of each protocol on cognitive function.
It is well evidenced in the literature that fasting aerobic exercise generates a series of metabolic differences when compared to exercise performed in the fed state, including the use of fats predominantly as an energy source. Consequently, increases in adaptations to aerobic training, related to health and physical performance, are observed when sessions are performed in the fasted state. In relation to resistance training, the evidence is limited. There is a lack of data in the literature regarding the effects of fasting on resistance exercises and whether this practice may reflect in losses or improvements in morphological and neuromuscular adaptations related to resistance training. Thus, the aim of the present project is to compare the effects of resistance training performed in the fasted state compared to the fed state during 12 weeks on body composition and physical performance in young adults. Thirty-four eutrophic or overweight individuals, not engaged in regular resistance exercises, aged between 20 and 40 years, will be recruited. They will be put on a standard customized diet and will perform 2 weekly sessions of resistance exercise after overnight fasting (10 to 12 hours) or in the fed state, for 12 weeks. Before, in the middle and after this period, evaluations of body composition, muscle thickness and quality, maximum dynamic strength and maximum power will be analyzed. Comparisons will be performed using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE), adopting the factors group (2 stratifications) and time (3 stratifications). All results will be expressed as mean and standard deviation and the accepted significance level will be 5%.
