OBJECTIVES This investigation examined the effect of 6 months of high- or low-intensity resistance exercise on muscular strength and endurance and stair climbing ability in adults aged 60 to 83. DESIGN A randomized controlled trial. SETTING University of Florida Center for Exercise Science. PARTICIPANTS Sixty-two men and women completed the study protocol. Subjects were matched for streng...

AIMS To examine the effects of pioglitazone or endurance exercise training on cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and insulin resistance. METHODS Seventy-eight adults (mean age ± SD: 65 ± 7 years) with central obesity and MCI were randomized to 6 months of endurance exercise, pioglitazone or control. RESULTS Sixty-six participants completed the study. Exe...

researchers and coaches are constantly looking for the most effective ways to enhance athletic performance. the aim of this study was to investigate the response of strength, power and muscle endurance to resistance training with different rest intervals. 16 male volunteers were selected and divided randomly into two groups. group a (n=8, age 22±2.55 yr, height 174.20±6.14 cm, weight 64.20±6.33...

The current dogma is that the muscle adaptation to resistance exercise is blunted when combined with endurance exercise. The suggested mechanism (based on rodent experiments) is that activation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) during endurance exercise impairs muscle growth through inhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). The purpose of thi...

Athletes in sports demanding repeat maximal work outputs frequently train concurrently utilizing sequential bouts of intense endurance and resistance training sessions. On a daily basis, maximal work within subsequent bouts may be limited by muscle glycogen availability. Recently, the ingestion of a unique high molecular weight (HMW) carbohydrate was found to increase glycogen re-synthesis rate...

The impact of a series resistor (R(S)) on the variability and endurance performance of memristor was studied in the TaO(x) memristive system. A dynamic voltage divider between the R(S) and memristor during both the set and the reset switching cycles can suppress the inherent irregularity of the voltage dropped on the memristor, resulting in a greatly reduced switching variability. By selecting ...

Physiol. 276 (Endocrinol. Metab. 39): E706–E711, 1999.—There are no studies comparing myocardial metabolism between enduranceand resistance-trained athletes. We used 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-Dglucose ...

Previously published studies on the effect of short-term endurance training on neuromuscular function of the plantar flexors have shown that the H-reflex elicited at rest and during weak voluntary contractions was increased following the training regime. However, these studies did not test H-reflex modulation during isometric maximum voluntary contraction (iMVC) and did not incorporate a contro...

Background: Physical activity combined with some herbal supplementations can affect body energy metabolism, blood lipids and physical fitness levels. However, the effect of exercise training combined with fenugreek on lipid metabolism and body composition in patients with type2 diabetes is unknown. Objective: The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of eight weeks’ enduran...
