Filter by:A primary aim of the current proposal is to compare the effect of daily consumption of healthy lean protein as either whey protein (2 meals per day) or whole food (25% of total daily caloric intake) consumed as 6 small meals throughout the day, one of which is consumed immediately following exercise training (within 30 min) and another 2 hours prior to going to bed at night, over a 16 week period on muscle and fat mass, cardiovascular health, aerobic fitness, glucose, insulin, blood lipids, heart rate and muscle strength in overweight men and women.
This study systematically quantified the effects of a protein pacing energy and performance (IEPS) meal pattern compared to a standard recommended control (C) diet both of which were combined with a 4-day/week exercise training program on total and regional (abdominal) body composition (lean mass and fat mass), muscular strength and performance, flexibility, blood lipids and glucose, hormones, mood state and energy metabolism in 60 healthy middle-aged (25-55 years old) men and women following a 12-week intervention. Participants were enrolled in one of two cohorts: 1. Experimental, 2g/kg/Body Weight (BW) Protein (IEPS) (n=30) 2. Control, 1g/kg/Body Weight Protein (C) (n=30)
In order to examine the effect of RIPC on skeleton muscle exertional damage and on aerobic and anaerobic physical performances, 30 healthy volunteers will undergo a series of different physical tests twice; once without intervention and a second time with RIPC intervention or placebo (false) intervention.
The purpose of this randomised (double-blind) controlled exercise intervention trial is to determine whether the whole body vibration (WBV) training can effectively improve physical functioning of older people living in or regularly using services of sheltered housing, reduce their fear of falling, and prevent falling. The study comprises a 10-week training period and a 10-month follow-up period.
