Calorie shifting diet versus calorie restriction diet: a comparative clinical trial study BACKGROUND: Finding new tolerable methods in weight loss has largely been an issue of interest for specialists. Present study compared a novel method of calorie shifting diet (CSD) with classic calorie restric...

Pea proteins oral supplementation promotes muscle thickness gains during resistance training: a double-blind, randomized, Placebo-controlled clinical trial vs. Whey protein BACKGROUND: The effects of protein supplementation on muscle thickness and strength seem largely dependent on its composition....

Influence of exercise order on maximum strength and muscle thickness in untrained men Traditional exercise order dictates large muscle group or multijoint exercises should be performed before small muscle group or single joint exercises. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of exe...

Regional differences in muscle activation during hamstrings exercise It is believed that regional activation within a muscle may lead to greater site-specific muscular adaptations in the activated portion of the muscle. Because the hamstrings are a biarticular muscle, it can be theorized that singl...

Effects of follicular versus luteal phase-based strength training in young women Hormonal variations during the menstrual cycle (MC) may influence trainability of strength. We investigated the effects of a follicular phase-based strength training (FT) on muscle strength, muscle volume and microscop...

Association of age with muscle size and strength before and after short-term resistance training in young adults The purpose of this study was to assess the association of age with muscle mass and strength in a group of young adults before and after 12 weeks of progressive resistance training. Eigh...

Clinical Experience of a Diet Designed to Reduce Aging Objective: Aging is associated with elevated levels of glucose, insulin, and triglycerides. Our objective was to assess the effect of a nutritional program designed to reduce these correlates of aging. Design: This is a retrospective chart revi...

Vitamin D, thyroid hormones and muscle mass influence natural killer (NK) innate immunity in healthy nonagenarians and centenarians Increasing evidence has demonstrated that the immune system closely interacts with other physiological systems, whose communications are mediated by circulating cytoki...

Chinese tea consumption is associated with longer telomere length in elderly Chinese men Environmental and lifestyle factors that affect oxidative stress and inflammation may influence telomere length (TL). There are limited data to relate the effect of dietary components on TL. The present study e...

Intake of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids from diet and supplements in relation to mortality Evidence from experimental studies suggests that the long-chain ω-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid have beneficial effects that may lead to reduced mortality from chronic diseases, bu...

Short rest interval lengths between sets optimally enhance body composition and performance with 8 weeks of strength resistance training in older men PURPOSE: To determine if 8 weeks of periodized strength resistance training (RT) utilizing relatively short rest interval lengths (RI) in between set...

Fruit and vegetable consumption and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer: systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies OBJECTIVE: To examine and quantify the potential dose-response relation between fruit and vegetable consumption and risk...

Effect of resistance training on body composition, self-efficacy, depression, and activity in postpartum women This study assessed the effect of resistance training (RT) in 60 healthy postpartum women. Participants were randomized to 18 weeks of RT or an active comparison group (flexibility trainin...

Minimal resistance training improves daily energy expenditure and fat oxidation Abstract Long-term resistance training (RT) may result in a chronic increase in 24-h energy expenditure (EE) and fat oxidation to a level sufficient to assist in maintaining energy balance and preventing weight gain. Ho...

Reduction of delayed onset muscle soreness by a novel curcumin delivery system (Meriva®): a randomised, placebo-controlled trial BACKGROUND: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) due to eccentric muscle activity is associated with inflammatory responses and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS...

Effects of aerobic training, resistance training, or both on percentage body fat and cardiometabolic risk markers in obese adolescents: the healthy eating aerobic and resistance training in youth randomized clinical trial IMPORTANCE: Little evidence exists on which exercise modality is optimal for ...

Pretty worthless study since it's done on untrained individuals with an isolation exercise, so the results are extremely questionable at best. Muscle activation strategies during strength training with heavy loading vs. repetitions to failure Going to failure, or not, has probably been one of the mo...

Association between muscular strength and mortality in men: prospective cohort study To examine prospectively the association between muscular strength and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer in men. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Aerobics centre longitudinal s...

Increased cardiovascular disease mortality associated with excessive exercise in heart attack survivors OBJECTIVE: To test whether greater exercise is associated with progressively lower mortality after a cardiac event. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We used Cox proportional hazard analyses to examine morta...

Protein supplementation with low fat meat after resistance training: effects on body composition and strength. Beef is a nutrient-rich, high-quality protein containing all the essential amino acids in proportions similar to those found in human skeletal muscle. In order to investigate the efficacy ...

Vitamin C supplementation slightly improves physical activity levels and reduces cold incidence in men with marginal vitamin C status: a randomized controlled trial The early indications of vitamin C deficiency are unremarkable (fatigue, malaise, depression) and may manifest as a reduced desire to ...

Comparison of the effects of 52 weeks weight loss with either a high-protein or high-carbohydrate diet on body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese males BACKGROUND: A high-protein (HP), low-fat weight-loss diet may be advantageous for improving cardiometabolic healt...

High-intensity compared to moderate-intensity training for exercise initiation, enjoyment, adherence, and intentions: an intervention study BACKGROUND: Understanding exercise participation for overweight and obese adults is critical for preventing comorbid conditions. Group-based high-intensity fun...

Comparison of two resistance training protocols, 6RM versus 12RM, to increase the 1RM in healthy young adults. A single-blind, randomized controlled trial PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to compare the effect in healthy young adults of two resistance training protocols, six-repetition maximum ...

Protein Ingestion to Stimulate Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis Requires Greater Relative Protein Intakes in Healthy Older Versus Younger Men BACKGROUND: Adequate protein ingestion-mediated stimulation of myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) is required to maintain skeletal muscle mass. It is current...

Long-Term Effects of a Very Low-Carbohydrate Weight Loss Diet on Exercise Capacity and Tolerance in Overweight and Obese Adults Aim: Compare the long-term effects of an energy-restricted very low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LC) diet with an isocaloric high-carbohydrate, low-fat (HC) diet on exercise to...
