Cancer survivors participating in supervised exercise programs learn to exercise safely with oversight from care providers who monitor and facilitate their progress. This study investigated the long-term exercise participation levels and identified exercise barriers for graduates from a specialized cancer exercise and education program. Subjects were graduates from a 12-week supervised exercise...

While regular exercise training is associated with numerous health benefits, a single bout of physical exercise has been shown to induce inflammatory process and cellular damage. However, natural supplementation may attenuate these in athletes. Hence, the present study was conducted to assess the effect of BCAA supplementation on serum C reactive protein, creatine kinase (CK) after acute resist...

Objective: We evaluated the potential effect of oral glucose supplementation on: (1) exercise performance and tolerance, (2) the concentrations of plasma uric acid and ammonia (NH 3) and (3) blood plasma markers of oxidative stress in patients with McArdle's disease (MCD) after non-ischemic forearm exercise testing (non-ischemic forearm exercise test). Methods: Blood samples and exercise perfor...
