Abstract It is considered that skeletal mass in humans may respond to loading or the number of cycles. The aim this study was examine effect a 1 year progressive resistance training program on bone 56 postmenopausal women. Assignment by block randomization one two groups: strength trained group (3 × 8 repetition maximum) an endurance 20 maximum). exercises were selected stress ipsilateral forearm and hip region. exercising side randomly assigned with exercised while alternate acted as...
Abstract The etiology of age-related bone loss is unclear but both lack exercise and dietary calcium deficiency have been implicated in its causation. This 2-year randomized placebo-controlled study was designed to examine the effects increased 168 women who were more than 10 years postmenopausal. subjects into one 4 groups: placebo, milk powder containing 1 g calcium, tablets g/night, g/night an regimen. group aimed undertake h extra weight-bearing per week undertaking 10% activity other...
Abstract Understanding the stress/strain relationship between exercise and bone is critical to understanding potential benefit of in preventing postmenopausal loss. This study examined effect a 2-year intervention calcium supplementation (600 mg) on mineral density (BMD) 126 women (mean age, 60 ± 5 years). Assignment was by block randomization one three groups: strength (S), fitness (F), or nonexercise control (C). The two groups completed sets same nine exercises, times week. S group...
Background: The development of a mobile telephone food record has the potential to ameliorate much burden associated with current methods dietary assessment. When using record, respondents capture an image their foods and beverages before after eating. Methods analysis volume estimation allow for automatic identification foods. To obtain suitable image, all fiducial marker must be included in image. Objective: evaluate defined set skills among adolescents adults when images compare...
Early adulthood represents the transition to independent living which is a period when changes in diet and body weight are likely occur. This presents an ideal time for health interventions reduce effect of problems risk factors chronic disease later life. As young adults high users mobile devices, that use this technology may improve engagement. The Connecting Health Technology study aimed evaluate effectiveness tailored dietary feedback weekly text messaging intake fruit, vegetables junk...
Background: The Internet contains a plethora of nutrition information. Health organizations are increasingly using the to deliver population-wide health information and interventions. Effective interventions identify their target population needs; however, little is known about use as source Objective: aim was assess change in prevalence demographic characteristics Western Australian adults accessing specific needs. Methods: Data were pooled from Department Health’s 3-yearly Nutrition...
Obtaining accurate food portion estimation automatically is challenging since the processes of preparation and consumption impose large variations on shapes appearances. The aim this paper was to estimate energy numeric value from eating occasion images captured using mobile record. To model characteristics distribution in an scene, a new concept "food distribution" introduced. mapping image its learned Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architecture. Food estimated based predicted by GAN....
The aim of this study was to compare the somatotype and size elite female basketball players in terms playing position team performance. Anthropometry data were collected on 168 from 14 countries before Women's World Basketball Championship, Australia, 1994. There 64 guards (mean +/- s: age 25.4 3.3 years, height 1.72 0.06 m, mass 66.1 6.2 kg, = 2.9-3.9-2.6), 57 forwards (age 25.2 3.8 1.81 73.3 5.9 2.8-3.5-3.2) 47 centres 24.1 3.1 1.90 82.6 8.2 3.2-3.1-3.4). Mean somatotypes by significantly...
Abstract Long-term effects of high dietary protein intake on muscle and bone structure in the elderly are not clear. The aim this study was to investigate relationship between baseline lean mass BMC 5 yr later a cohort postmenopausal women. A total 862 community-dwelling women 75 ± 3 age provided data including nutrient assessed by food frequency questionnaire. At yr, upper arm area (UAMA) body composition using DXA were measured. Baseline 81 28 g/d (1.2 0.4 g/kg/d), contributing 19 3%...
Abstract The effects of dietary protein on bone structure and metabolism have been controversial, with evidence for against beneficial effects. Because no long-term randomized, controlled studies performed, a two-year study supplementation in 219 healthy ambulant women aged 70 to 80 years was undertaken. Participants were randomized either high-protein drink containing 30 g whey (n = 109) or placebo identical energy content, appearance, taste 2.1 110). Both drinks provided 600 mg calcium....

This intervention aimed to ascertain whether a low-cost, accessible, physical activity and nutrition program could improve behaviours of insufficiently active 60–70 year olds residing in Perth, Australia. A 6-month home-based randomised controlled trial was conducted on 478 older adults (intervention, n = 248; control, 230) low medium socioeconomic status. Both control groups completed postal questionnaires at baseline post-program, but only the participants received project materials....
The mobile Food Record (mFR) is an image-based dietary assessment method for devices. study primary aim was to test the accuracy of mFR by comparing reported energy intake (rEI) total expenditure (TEE) using doubly labeled water (DLW) method. Usability assessed questionnaires before and after study. Participants were 45 community dwelling men women, 21–65 years. They provided pack-out meals snacks encouraged supplement with usual foods beverages not provided. After being dosed DLW,...
