OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of previous aerobic exercise on cardiovascular responses during resistance exercise. METHODS This is a crossover observational study. The sample included 19 normotensive men aged between 19 and 39 years. Subjects performed two experimental sessions in random order: resistance exercise (R: three sets of knee extension exercises with 40% of one repetition maxi...

We sought to determine whether creatine monohydrate (CrM) supplementation would enhance the increases in strength and fat-free mass that develop during resistance exercise training in older adults. Twenty-eight healthy men and women over the age of 65 years participated in a whole-body resistance exercise program 3 days per week for 14 weeks. The study participants were randomly allocated, in a...

The present study was conducted to assess the effect of dietary omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on the levels of oxidative stress, muscle damage, and inflammatory markers after acute resistance exercise in young athletes. In a randomized double-blind design, twenty subjects were divided into two equal groups; each subject receiving three capsules per day (3000 mg) of either omega-3 or a plac...

introduction: obesity and visceral fat accumulation after menopause are associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. we investigated the interactive effect of aerobic-resistance training and estrogen replacement therapy on visceral fat, omentin-1 and homa-ir in ovariectomized rats. materials and methods: fifty female wistar rats were ovariectomized (ovx) and divided into 5 gr...

BACKGROUND The extent of the benefits of exercise training during pregnancy on maternal, fetal, and neonatal health outcomes has not been sufficiently addressed. While aerobic exercise training has been determined as safe and efficacious throughout pregnancy, the effects of other training modes on fetal health and development as well as any continued benefits for the neonate, especially with re...

The purpose of this study was to measure the salivary cortisol response to different intensities of resistance exercise. In addition, we wanted to determine the reliability of the session rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale to monitor resistance exercise intensity. Subjects (8 men, 9 women) completed 2 trials of acute resistance training bouts in a counterbalanced design. The high intensit...

omentin-1 is a novel adipokine that is predominantly secreted by visceral adipose tissue. circulating levels of omentin-1 is inversely related to obesity. there is limited information about the effect of exercise training on serum omentin-1 concentration. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of four weeks of progressive resistance training on serum omentin-1 levels. 16 male wiste...
