Timing and distribution of protein ingestion during prolonged recovery from resistance exercise alters myofibrillar protein synthesis Quantity and timing of protein ingestion are major factors regulating myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS). However, the effect of specific ingestion patterns on MPS...

Low serum magnesium concentrations predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality BACKGROUND: Low serum magnesium (Mg(++)) levels are associated with future development of left ventricular hypertrophy independently of common cardiovascular risk factors, as recently demonstrated in the five-year fol...

Magnesium, vitamin D status and mortality: results from US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001 to 2006 and NHANES III BACKGROUND: Magnesium plays an essential role in the synthesis and metabolism of vitamin D and magnesium supplementation substantially reversed the resist...

Analysis of the load on the knee joint and vertebral column with changes in squatting depth and weight load It has been suggested that deep squats could cause an increased injury risk of the lumbar spine and the knee joints. Avoiding deep flexion has been recommended to minimize the magnitude of kn...

The Effect of Caffeine Ingestion on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness The beneficial effects of caffeine on aerobic activity and resistance training performance are well documented. However, less is known concerning caffeine's potential role in reducing perception of pain and soreness during exercise. ...

Effects of betaine on body composition, performance, and homocysteine thiolactone BACKGROUND: This study investigated the effects of long term betaine supplementation on body composition, performance, and homocysteine thiolactone (HCTL) in experienced strength trained men. METHODS: Twenty-three sub...

Taking vitamin D with the largest meal improves absorption and results in higher serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D Many patients treated for vitamin D deficiency fail to achieve an adequate serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] despite high doses of ergo- or cholecalciferol. The objective ...

Testosterone administration reduces lying in men Lying is a pervasive phenomenon with important social and economic implications. However, despite substantial interest in the prevalence and determinants of lying, little is known about its biological foundations. Here we study a potential hormonal i...

Postresistance exercise ethanol ingestion and acute testosterone bioavailability INTRODUCTION: Alcohol (ethanol) and resistance exercise can independently affect circulating bioavailable testosterone concentration. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the testosterone bioavailability a...
