Resistance Versus Aerobic Exercise

OBJECTIVE In type 1 diabetes, small studies have found that resistance exercise (weight lifting) reduces HbA(1c). In the current study, we examined the acute impacts of resistance exercise on glycemia during exercise and in the subsequent 24 h compared with aerobic exercise and no exercise. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Twelve physically active individuals with type 1 diabetes (HbA(1c) 7.1 ± 1....

Aerobic Exercise and Word Recall

Aerobic exercise and other healthy lifestyle factors that influence vascular aging.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death in the United States and other modern societies. Advancing age is the major risk factor for CVD, primarily due to stiffening of the large elastic arteries and the development of vascular endothelial dysfunction. In contrast, regular aerobic exercise protects against the development of large elastic artery stiffness and vascular en...

Does Aerobic Exercise Influence Intrinsic Brain Activity? An Aerobic Exercise Intervention among Healthy Old Adults

Previous studies have indicated that aerobic exercise could reduce age related decline in cognition and brain functioning. Here we investigated the effects of aerobic exercise on intrinsic brain activity. Sixty sedentary healthy males and females (64-78 years) were randomized into either an aerobic exercise group or an active control group. Both groups recieved supervised training, 3 days a wee...

Can aerobic exercise training be hazardous to human vessels?

Human Vessels? To the Editor: Exercise training is widely used as an efficient method of rehabilitation from or prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Improvement in endothelium-dependent vasodilation could be one of the underlying mechanisms of this effect, as was recently suggested by Higashi et al.1 Because the intensity and duration of training are directly related to performance improvemen...
