Abstract It may be that resistance exercise can used to prevent the degenerative processes and inflammation associated with ageing. Thus, aim of present study was evaluate effects training on cytokines, leptin, resistin, muscle strength in post-menopausal women. Thirty-five sedentary women (mean age 63.18 years, s = 4.8; height 1.64 m, 0.07; body mass 57.84 kg, 7.70) were recruited. The 16 weeks periodized consisted two weekly sessions three sets 6–14 repetition maximum. Maximal tested bench...

The study's purpose was to compare the response of performing 1, 3, and 5 sets on measures performance muscle hypertrophy. Forty-eight men, with no weight training experience, were randomly assigned one 3 groups, 1 SET, SETS, or control group. All groups performed resistance sessions per week for 6 months. repetition maximum (RM) all increased in bench press (BP), front lat pull down (LPD), shoulder (SP), leg (LP) (p ≤ 0.05), RM increases BP LPD being significantly greater SETS compared...

The aim of the present study was to investigate effects resistance training on skeletal muscle lipid content, liver heart fat depots, and profile in ovariectomized rats. Wistar adult female rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 10 per group): sedentary (Sed-Intact), (Sed-Ovx), strength trained (ChronicEx-intact), (ChronicEx-Ovx). A 12-week strength-training period used, during which animals climbed a 1.1-m vertical ladder with weights attached their tails. sessions performed once every 3...

Summary Resistance incremental tests (IT) make it possible to determine critical metabolic and cardiovascular changes, such as the lactate threshold (LT). Different methods are frequently used improve exactness of LT identification. The objective study was identify by four different (visual inspection, log–log, algorithmic adjustment QLac) during resistance exercise evaluate which present more precision. Twelve men performed a maximal IT on leg press at relative intensities 10%, 20%, 25%,...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence resistance training on activity matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and bone biomechanical properties in ovariectomized intact rats. Forty-eight female rats were divided into two distinct groups, (OVX) (Int), which subdivided three similar subgroups: sedentary, acute exercise chronic exercise. Rats performed a for 12 weeks animals climbed vertical ladder 1.1 m with weights attached their tails. Sessions an interval 3, 4-9 8-12 days...

The aim of this randomized controlled study was to verify the impact a 12-weeks muscular endurance (ME) training high repetitions (i. e., 15–30) with 2 different periodization models on body composition, maximal strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Twenty eight sedentary women aged 20–35 years were randomly assigned to: control (CON) (n=8), linear (LP) (n=10) daily undulating (DUP) (n=10). LP DUP significantly improved strength ME. However, no significant changes detected for showed...

The aim of this study was to analyze the strength and flexibility gains after 12 weeks training (FLEX), isolated or combined. Twenty-eight trained women (age = 46 ± 6.52 years; body mass 56.8 5.02 kg; height 162 5.58 cm; mean SD) were randomly divided into 4 groups: (ST) (n 7), FLEX combination (ST + FLEX) (FLEX ST) 7). All groups assessed before for sit reach test, goniometry, 10 repetition maximum in bench press (BP) leg (LP) exercises. protocol all included sessions on alternate days...

The aim of the present study was to investigate effects resistance training on glycogen content and muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) in ovariectomized rats. Wistar rats were divided into: sedentary; trained; trained. In 12-week training, animals climbed a 1.1 m vertical ladder, 3 days per week, with 4–8 climbs. Cardiac, liver determined. After period there higher hepatic group compared other groups (p<0.01). CSA soleus for trained, trained sedentary (p<0.05). Ovariectomy attenuated increase...

OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study was to assess the effects resistance training on oxidative stress markers in livers ovariectomized rats.METHOD: Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into following four groups (n = 8 per group): shamoperated sedentary, sham-operated training, and training.During period, animals climbed a 1.1-m vertical ladder with weights attached their tails; sessions conducted 3 times week, 4-9 climbs 8-12 dynamic movements climb.The assessed by measuring levels...
