Filter by:The novelty of this study is to identify the mechanism of nervous system by applying resistance training intervention in healthy individuals.
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.
Globally, the prevalence of total joint replacement (TKR) procedures has been rising, providing patients with better joint function, decreased pain, and enhanced quality of life. A thorough and successful postoperative rehabilitation program, which attempts to restore optimal function and lower the risk of problems related to the treatment, is necessary for the success of total knee replacement (TKR) procedures. After total knee replacement, postoperative rehabilitation is a crucial stage in the patient's healing process. Normal knee function is frequently hampered by issues like pain management, muscular weakness, joint stiffness, and proprioceptive deficiencies. Therefore, choosing a suitable rehabilitation regimen is crucial.
Menopause is a period of time with increased risk for muscle and bone loss. Very few people strength train regularly at least 2 times per week, and commonly reported barriers include inadequate time and resources, worries of safety, inadequate knowledge base of what moves to do and how to do them. Menopause-aged women may report unique barriers - or perceived facilitators - to strength training. This pilot study will develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of an at-home, band-based, expert-supported strength training intervention.
The purpose of this study is to collect preliminary data on the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effects of a novel, remotely delivered resistance training program.
Breast cancer stands as the foremost cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide, with the highest incidence of any cancer type. The choice of therapeutic interventions hinges upon factors like cancer stage, cell subtype, and tumor size. Consequently, individuals with more aggressive tumors, such as HER+2 and Triple Negative, or larger tumors often undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy before breast surgery. However, these anticancer treatments come with side effects like cancer-related fatigue, reduced functional capacity, and changes in body composition, notably skeletal muscle atrophy. Skeletal muscle loss correlates with heightened mortality rates, cardiotoxicity, and diminished quality of life, underscoring the need for early therapeutic interventions. One such promising strategy is prehabilitation, which involves resistance-exercise training aimed at bolstering skeletal muscle mass from the outset of the disease, even preceding breast surgery. Resistance-exercise training has shown favorable effects on women undergoing adjuvant therapy or survivors of breast cancer, however, its molecular and clinical effects in women with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy are unknown.
This study will be a randomized controlled trial and the data will be collected from National Cricket Academy and domestic cricket clubs. The sample size will be calculated by conducting a pilot study. There will be three groups. Group-A will be receiving Complex training, Group-B will be receiving Conventional training and Group C as a Control Group. Athletes with same physical fitness level will be recruited. There will be parallel assignment of the participants. Assessor will be kept blinded. All the parameters would be assessed at Baseline, 6 Weeks, 12 Weeks. Physical fitness will be assessed through Field Testing. Bowling performance will be assessed through speed machine and Kinovea Software. Work capacity will be assessed through step testing. Muscle strength will be assessed through Dynamometer. Lastly, BMD will be assessed though Bone Densitometer.
The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive the strength training only. Group B will receive the mindfulness-exercise in addition to the strength training protocol.
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.
One approach to significantly reducing resistance training intensity while maintaining effectiveness in muscle mass and strength development involves conducting training sessions under hypoxic conditions. This is likely due to heightened physiological responses. While sports science research indicates a substantial impact of hypoxic conditions on immediate increases in metabolic stress and augmented hormonal responses, recent findings suggest that the role of their influence on skeletal muscle adaptations post-resistance training under hypoxic conditions remains unknown. Additionally, there is a lack of reports on whether the type of hypoxia applied via blood flow restriction or chamber differentiates the increase in secretion of these catecholamines in both immediate and long-term aspects.
