This study examined acute hormone and force responses and strength and endurance performance and muscle hypertrophy before and after 24 weeks of same-session combined strength and endurance training in previously untrained women. Subjects were assigned 1 of 2 training orders: endurance preceding strength (E + S, n = 15) or vice versa (S + E, n = 14). Acute force and hormone responses to a combi...

Resistance exercise (RE) can lower blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, greater clarity is needed regarding the RE intensity and time required for this acute response. Therefore, aim of study was to compare responses on second day recovery from moderate vs. high-intensity women T2D. Twelve T2D (55.2 ± 4.0 years; 70.1 11.4 kg; 155.7 3.3 cm) performed two experimental sess...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nonlinear periodized (NLP) and linear periodized (LP) resistance training (RT) on muscle thickness (MT) and strength, measured by an ultrasound technique and 1 repetition maximum (1RM), respectively. Thirty untrained men were randomly assigned to 3 groups: NLP (n = 11, age: 30.2 ± 1.1 years, height: 173.6 ± 7.2 cm, weight: 79.5 ± 13.1 kg),...

the aim of the study was to investigate the effect resistance trainingon pulmonary function of obese women with type ii diabetes. twenty four  patients with diabetes type ii, aged 40-55 years, mean body mass index (bmi) 30.16 ± 3.26 kg.m² and fasting blood glucose greater than 126 mg.dl were selected purposefully. after anthropometric measurements and indices of lung, subjects were randomly div...

The purpose of this study was to quantify the metabolic equivalents (METs) of resistance exercise in obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and healthy young subjects and to evaluate whether there were differences between sessions executed at low- versus high-intensity resistance exercise. Twenty obese patients with T2DM (62.9±6.1 years) and 22 young subjects (22.6±1.9 years) performed two ...
