Filter by: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.
There is an increasing number of elderly population, not only in Indonesia, but also in the world. With increasing of age, there is also an increasing number of elderly with sarcopenia and frailty. Both of the diseases can lead to dependency, decrease quality of life, and morbidity. Besides nutrition, physical activity, especially resistance training is proven to be beneficial in improving sarcopenia and frailty condition. Currently in Cipto Mangunkusumo National Hospital (RSCM), there is no comprehensive frailty prevention clinic in the geriatric inpatient clinics. This research can be the base of frailty and sarcopenia treatment in RSCM.
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%.
A lack of studies has applied elastic band resistance training exercises on hospitalized elderly, so the effect of elastic band resistance training exercises on physical fitness and risk of falls was unclear. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to investigate the effectiveness of elastic band resistance training on improving physical fitness and reducing the risk of falls in hospitalized elderly with high risk of falls. This study is an experimental study. The experimental group was given 3 times a week for 2 consecutive weeks of elastic band resistance training, while the control group was given regular rehabilitation exercises. The differences in physical fitness and fall risk between the two groups were examined.
This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of ankle muscle strengthening program of 8 weeks on the underwater dolphin kick performance in young swimmers. This study was a randomized controlled trial. Swimmers was divided in two groups; eccentric ankle muscle-strengthening exercises and control group. The outcome measures were strength of plantar flexors, dorsal flexors, internal rotators, external rotators and 5-meter underwater dolphin kick time.
The study proposes to measure the effect of resitance training (RT) (3/7 method) on biological markers of muscle hypertrophy in a cardiac population. 3/7 method consisting of five sets of an increasing number of repetitions (3 to 7) during successive sets and brief inter-set intervals (15 s). This method is compare to 3X9 method, 3 series of 9 repetitions with inter-set (1min).The training exercise consisted of contraction on machine (leg press, triceps press, leg curl, traction, leg extension) with load of ~ 70% of one repetition maximal (1RM). Before these trainings all subject perform HIIT on bicycles (2 min high intensity (80% Wmax) and 2 min low intensity (50% Wmax) during 30 minutes. The investigators collect blood sample before exercice, after HIIT and after RT. It is randomized cross-over study.
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...).
