Abstract Background Few studies have assessed the use of dietary supplements, anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM) in male gym users. The comparison physical appearance with others on social media exposure to fitness-related content (i.e., image-centric use) may a profound role using these compounds due its creating negative body images Objective Provide contemporary data AAS SARM among young users, test hypothesis that is associated SARM, as...
Protein ingestion during recovery from exercise has been reported to augment myofibrillar protein synthesis rates, without increasing muscle connective rates. It suggested that collagen may be effective in stimulating synthesis. The present study assessed the capacity of both whey and stimulate postexercise rates.In a randomized, double-blind, parallel design, 45 young male ( n = 30) female 15) recreational athletes (age, 25 ± 4 yr; body mass index, 24.1 2.0 kg·m -2 ) were selected receive...
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) in male and female elite cyclists at different stages a professional cycling career identify potential risk factors BMD.In this cross-sectional study, 93 early career, advanced postcareer completed dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry hip, femoral neck, lumbar spine, total body; blood sampling; assessment training history injuries; bone-specific physical activity questionnaire. Backward stepwise multiple regression...
ABSTRACT Purpose Many elite road-race cyclists have low areal bone mineral density (aBMD) as previously shown by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). However, aBMD provides limited insight into quality. Therefore, this cross-sectional study aimed to assess volumetric BMD (vBMD), microarchitecture, and strength in using high-resolution peripheral computed tomography (HR-pQCT), along with measured DXA. Methods Twenty female (Tier 3/ 4) (21 ± 2 y; BMI 20.8 1.6 kg/m ) had DXA scans at the...
We assessed whether collagen supplementation augments the effects of high-impact exercise on bone turnover and a higher frequency results in greater benefit for metabolism.In this randomized, cross-over trial, 14 healthy males (age 24 ± 4 y, BMI 22.0 2.1 kg/m2) performed 5-min once (JUMP+PLA JUMP+COL) or twice daily (JUMP2+COL2) during 3-day intervention period, separated by 10-day wash out period. One hour before every bout participants ingested 20 g hydrolysed (JUMP+COL JUMP2+COL2) placebo...
Postprandial metabolic responses following dairy consumption have mostly been studied using stand-alone products or milk-derived nutrients. Assessing the impact of ingesting as part a common breakfast on postprandial aminoacidemia, glycemic control, markers bone metabolism, and satiety. In this randomized, cross-over study, 20 healthy young males females consumed three separated occasions an iso-energetic containing no (NO-D), one (ONE-D) two (TWO-D) products. concentrations amino acids,...
The current double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with two parallel groups aimed to assess the impact of whey protein supplementation on recovery muscle function and soreness following eccentric exercise. During a 9-day period, forty recreationally active males received twice daily either (PRO; 60 g/day) or an iso-energetic amount carbohydrate (CON). Muscle were assessed before, 0, 3, 24, 48, 72 h after performing 100 drop jumps. Recovery isometric maximal voluntary contraction...
This study assessed the effect of combined jump training and collagen supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) in elite road-race cyclists. In this open-label, randomized with two parallel groups, 36 young (21 ± 3 years) male (n = 8) female 28) cyclists were allocated to either an intervention (INT: n 18) or a no-treatment control (CON: group. The 18-week period, conducted during off-season, comprised five 5-min bouts jumping exercise per week, each bout preceded by ingestion 15 g...
This randomized, cross-over trial assessed the effect of a single bout high-impact exercise on serum markers bone formation and resorption over 24 h period.
