Filter by:Whereas the role of endurance training on immune function has been widely studied, little is known about the role of resistance training (RT). In this cross-over randomized controlled study, it will be analysed the effects of three RT protocols which only differs in volume in improving secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) and cortisol in saliva among young, health and sedentary people
This study is a randomized crossover trail examining the effect of breakfast consumption or omission on afternoon resistance training performance. Resistance-trained adults will complete a resistance training workout comprised of barbell back squat, barbell bench press, and barbell conventional deadlift following either consuming breakfast and lunch, or the same amount of food consumed solely at lunch. For each testing session the participants will be provided with all food to consume prior to arriving at the laboratory. Major performance outcomes will be total repetition volume completed for each exercise (i.e. bench press, squat, and deadlift) and the entire workout (each individual trial), along with barbell kinematics for each exercise.
The objective is to evaluate the effects of blood flow restriction training on the post-competition recovery of professional and semi-professional soccer players. Randomized crossover clinical trial, with two intervention groups: Experimental group I will carry out a recovery training based on the use of the blood flow restriction (BFR) on day 1 post-competition. On the other hand, the Experimental II group will perform the same recovery training without the use of BFR. After 1 month the groups will cross their intervention and make the recovery with the opposite method to the initial one. The study will be carried out during the 2021-2022 season, from first regional to third division of Spanish soccer, with soccer teams from the Mallorca Island. Before the competition, the countermovement jump (CMJ) will be evaluated and repeated at 0, 24, and 72 h after the competition. The levels of muscle soreness (DOMS) will be evaluated pre-post-competition 0, 24, 48 and 72h later. The same procedure will be carried out to evaluate muscle fatigue, sleep quality, and stress through a questionnaire that athletes will fill out pre, 0, 24, 48 and 72h after the game. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data will be collected before starting the study.
Celiac disease (CD) is an immunological disorder that mainly affects the small intestine, generating an inflammatory process in response to the presence of gluten (a protein). Autoimmune diseases are part of a group of diseases that are difficult to diagnose without a specific protocol or consensus to detect them due to the number of symptoms and diseases with which it has a relationship. The incidence of CD in Spain -according to data from the rest of the European Economic Community, since there is no study on incidence in Spain- is assumed to be approximately 1 per 100 live births. It is more frequent in women, with a 2:1 ratio. The only treatment consists of a STRICT GLUTEN-FREE DIET FOR LIFE. This results in the disappearance of symptoms, normalization of serology and recovery of intestinal villi. Failure to follow the diet can lead to important complications which, especially in adulthood, can manifest themselves in the form of osteopenia, osteoporosis and a high risk of neoplasms in the digestive tract, mainly. The main objective is to achieve a physical and physiological improvement in menopausal or post-menopausal celiac women. The specific objectives will be to know the influence of a dietary-nutritional program combined with physical exercise in menopausal or post-menopausal celiac women on: - Physical condition (strength, endurance, functional autonomy...). - Body composition. - Psychological aspects. - Physiological parameters (heart rate, maximum oxygen consumption, blood analysis...).
The present study will answer the following question: what are the effects of strength gain and muscle hypertrophy on interface pressure, static stiffness index, and working pressure amplitude in the elderly using inelastic compression?
Background: Aging is associated with muscle mass and strength loss and "oldest" old people (≥85 y) are at a far greater risk of developing sarcopenia. Training increases muscle mass and strength in a variety of populations, yet the efficacy has not been clearly defined for individuals in the fourth age (≥80 y). Hypothesis: The following hypotheses will be investigated: - Twelve weeks of progressive resistance-type exercise training increases muscle mass and strength in young old (65-75 y) and oldest old (85 y and over) subjects. - The training-induced increase in muscle mass and strength is relatively greater in young old subjects when compared to oldest old subjects. Goals: The primary aim of this study is to compare the effect of resistance-type exercise training on skeletal muscle mass (i.e. quadriceps cross-sectional area and whole body lean mass) in young old and oldest old subjects. Specific goals - Determine whether resistance-type exercise training can increase muscle mass and muscle strength in young old and oldest old subjects. - Determine whether resistance-type exercise training can improve physical performance in young old and oldest old subjects. - Identify whether inflammatory markers (i.e., TNFα, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13) are up- or down-regulated in young old and oldest old subjects before and after resistance-type exercise training. Methodology: Study design Sixty older females and males (young old group: n=30, 65-75 y; oldest old group: n=30, 85 y and over) will be included in this prospective clinical trial. All volunteers will be subjected to 12 weeks of whole-body resistance-type exercise training (3x/wk). Before, and after 6 and 12 weeks of training, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the upper leg will be performed to assess quadriceps cross sectional area. On those days, fasting blood samples will be obtained and whole-body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan will also be performed. Maximal strength will be determined by 1-repetition maximum (1RM) and physical functioning by the short physical performance battery (SPPB) at the same time points.
Interventional study to show the effects of strength exercise on fall risk in elderly with Alzheimer's disease
The main objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of core stability exercises to increase motor control, function and resistance strength of the abdominal muscles, compared to a traditional abdominal and trunk exercise program in semi-professionals soccer players
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial examining the effects of caffeinated and non-caffeinated pre-workout supplements on resistance exercise performance. Resistance-trained adults will be randomly assigned to complete three study conditions (caffeinated pre-workout, non-caffeinated pre-workout, and placebo) in one of the six possible condition orders. During each condition, participants will report to the laboratory for ingestion of the assigned beverage and subsequent muscular performance testing. Major performance outcomes will be force production variables from a mechanized squat device and maximal strength and muscular endurance on the bench press and leg press exercises.
The aims of this clinical study are evaluated the effects of Blood Flood Restriction training on the sport performance of professional and semi-professional soccer players. The participants are twenty male professional and semi-professional soccer players who are playing at RCD Mallorca. Participants will be assigned in two different groups. Both groups develop for six weeks a strength training programs. The first group will base their training in Low Load using Blood Flow Restriction (20-50% of one maximum repetition). The second group will base their training in High Load (60-80% of one maximum repetition). This training program includes three type of exercises in each training session; back squat, single deadlift and barbell hip thrust. Before and after this program the investigators will collect sociodemographic and anthropometrics data. On top of that, the investigators will evaluate the muscle mass, the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles, the muscle strength and the sprint ability of every participant. Before to the evaluation, the soccer players will warm-up during 15 minutes under the control of the evaluators.
