the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 10 weeks of resistance training on serum levels of heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic women. 20 women with type 2 diabetes were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into experimental group (n = 10, mean age 47.13±6.27 year, bmi 28.45±3.32 kg/m²) and control group (n = 10, mean age 5...

an increase in c-reactive protein inflammatory indicator and lipid profile is accompanied with an increase in cardiovascular risks. however, the effect of resistance exercises on these cardiovascular risk factors in females is unknown.the aim of this study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks of circuit exercise on c-reactive protein and lipid profile in inactive women.for this purpose, 24 you...

We assessed the variability in the number of repetitions completed at submaximal loads in three resistance tasks in older (N=32, 16 female, 74.3±5.4 years) and younger (N=16, 8 female, 22.8±1.8 years) men and women. One repetition maximum (1RM) was determined on two separate visits on three tasks: leg press (LP), leg extension (LE), and bicep curl (BC). Subjects then completed repetitions to fa...

Chapman, M, Larumbe-Zabala, E, Triplett, NT, and Naclerio, F. Velocity change estimation by subjective measures over a wide-load spectrum in squat bench press. J Strength Cond Res 35(2S): S51–S56, 2021—This study compared whether the perception of effort measured on repetition-by-repetition basis during continuous sets to failure is different between (SQ) press (BP). After determining one repet...

The relationship between oxidative stress and some exercise components of resistance exercise (e.g. intensity, exercise volume) has not been clearly defined. Additionally, the oxidative stress markers may respond differently in various conditions. This study aims to determine the effects of progressive intensity of resistance exercise (RE) on oxidative stress and antioxidants in trained and unt...

Repetitions to fatigue (RTF) using less than a 1 repetition maximum (1RM) load (RepWt) have been shown to be a good predictor of 1RM strength in men, but such information is scarce in women. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of current prediction equations to estimate 1RM bench press performance and to determine whether resistance training changes the capability to predict ...

Prescribing training intensity and volume is a key problem when designing resistance training programmes. One approach is to base training prescription on the number of repetitions performed at a given percentage of repetition maximum due to the correlation found between these two measures. However, previous research has raised questions as to the accuracy of this method, as the repetitions com...

cardiac function during exercise is assumed to be important in determining exercise tolerance. the aim of this study was to evaluate hemodynamic changes of blood flow at anaerobic threshold and its effect on exercise tolerance. 24 patients with coronary artery disease were voluntarily divided into two groups of experimental (n=12) and control (n=12). the experimental group participated in 8 wee...

We examined whether high-speed power training (HSPT) improved muscle performance and braking speed using a driving simulator. 72 older adults (22 m, 50 f; age = 70.6 ± 7.3 yrs) were randomized to HSPT at 40% one-repetition maximum (1RM) (HSPT: n = 25; 3 sets of 12-14 repetitions), slow-speed strength training at 80%1RM (SSST: n = 25; 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions), or control (CON: n = 22; stretch...
