This study investigated whether muscle hypertrophy-promoting effects are cross-transferred in resistance training with blood flow restriction, which has been shown to evoke strong endocrine activation.Fifteen untrained men were randomly assigned into the occlusive group (OCC, N = 8) and normal (NOR, 7). Both groups performed same unilateral arm exercise (arm curl) at 50% of one-repetition maximum (1RM) without occlusion (three sets, 10 repetitions). Either dominant or nondominant was chosen...

Background The integrity of data in a clinical trial is essential, but the current management process too complex and highly labor-intensive. As result, trials are prone to consuming lot budget time, there risk for human-induced error falsification. Blockchain technology has potential address some these challenges. Objective aim study was validate system that enables security medical using blockchain technology. Methods We have developed blockchain-based tested through breast cancer. project...

The difference between the two competitions in physical performance. aim of present study was to compare investigate relationship characteristics fitness competitors. Methods: Subjects were 11 paddlers (C) 12 kayak (K). They underwent anthropometric characteristics, body composition tests, 120 s all-out tests using a ergometer. unpaired t -test used test for significant differences disciplines, while Pearson's correlation coefficient...

Background A strategy for maintaining and/or improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in the growing population of cancer survivors is major clinical importance, especially COVID-19 era. The effect unsupervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on increasing CRF breast unknown. Purpose purpose this study was to determine whether newly developed habit-B programme, which involves home-based smartphone-supported HIIT using body weight exercises, improves early-stage survivors. Methods...

The aim of this study was to investigate the omega-3 fatty acids supplementation, and resistance training on muscle strength mass.

ABSTRACT The effects of flywheel (FW) training on jump performance, muscle function, and mass in athletes have not been fully clarified. purpose the present study was to evaluate an 8‐week FW program stretch‐shortening cycle (SSC) strength, peak power thickness collegiate basketball players. Twenty male college players (mean age: 19.8 ± 1.3 years, height: 179.1 6.7 cm, body mass: 72.9 6.3 kg) were randomly assigned either ( n = 11) or control group 9). performed squat exercises, 5 sets 8...

Objectives High physical activity levels have been associated with longer, healthier lifespans and improved quality of life among breast cancer survivors. The Japanese clinical guidelines for survivors, similar to those in the USA, strongly recommend maintaining high levels. However, extent adherence these survivors Japan is unclear. This study aimed assess guideline-recommended activities identify factors. Methods Self-administered questionnaires were distributed without recurrence or...

Abstract Ligand‐gated chloride channels (LGICs) are important targets for insecticides and parasiticides. Genes encoding subunits of two LGICs, a glutamate‐gated channel (MdGluCl‐α) γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)‐gated (MdRdl), were cloned from house‐flies ( Musca domestica L.). These genes first expressed independently in Xenopus laevis oocytes by cRNA injection order to investigate the pharmacology these ligand‐gated using two‐electrode voltage‐clamp electrophysiology. It was found that l...

Background: This study investigated the effect of volume-matched strength training programs with different frequency and subsequent detraining on muscle size strength. Methods: During a period 11 weeks, untrained subjects (age: 22.3 ± 0.9 years, height: 173.1 4.8 cm body mass: 66.8 8.4 kg) performed knee-extension exercise at 67% their estimated one-repetition maximum either one session per week (T1 group: 6 sets 12 repetitions session; n = 10) or three sessions (T3 2 10). Rating perceived...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of supplementation fish oil rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) on damage biceps brachii after eccentric contractions (ECCs) elbow flexors, particularly focusing muscle stiffness.Sixteen men were included this double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design participants randomly assigned EPA DHA supplement group (EPA, n = 8) placebo (PL, 8). They consumed either 600 mg 260 per day or for 8 weeks prior exercise. Moreover,...

Background This study investigated the effect of supplementation with fish oil rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) on M-wave latency biceps brachii muscle damage after a single session maximal elbow flexor eccentric contractions (ECC).Methods Twenty-one men were completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design study. The subjects randomly assigned to group (n = 10) or control 11). consumed eight 300-mg EPA-rich softgel capsules (containing,...

We examined whether polyphenols from dietary apple have protective effects against exercise-induced muscle strain injury. Sixteen male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into the polyphenol (APP; N=8) and control (CON; groups. The APP CON groups fed diets with without 5% APP, respectively. After a 3-wk feeding period, gastrocnemii of animals subject to lengthening contractions electrical stimulation forced ankle dorsiflexion. Isometric torques measured before after on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7...

Resistance exercise impairs endothelial function, and this impairment is thought to be mediated by sustained elevation in blood pressure. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that resistance exercise-induced dysfunction would prevented high-intensity with low repetitions. This type of known induce temporal pressure due repetitions a long resting period between sets. Thirteen young healthy subjects completed three randomized experimental trials as follows: 1) moderate-intensity moderate...

We investigated the time course effects of eccentric training on muscular size, strength, and growth factor/cytokine production by using an isokinetic-exercise system for rats. Male Wistar rats (n = 34) were randomly assigned into 4 groups: 5 session eccentric-training group (ECC5S, n 10); sham-operated (CON5S, 10 (ECC10S, 7); (CON10S, 7). In each group, a either or sham operation was performed every 2 days. The consisted sets forced dorsiflexion (5 repetitions) combined with electric...

ABSTRACT Purpose Prolonged sitting impairs leg endothelial function, which seems to be mediated by a sustained reduction in blood flow-induced shear stress. However, whether regular endurance training is effective preventing sitting-induced dysfunction remains largely unknown. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that prevented high endurance-trained individuals. Methods The group comprised 10 male collegiate cyclists, and untrained nine men with no training. Peak oxygen uptake (V˙O 2peak ) was...

Abstract Muscle growth is influenced by changes in the mechanical environment that affect expression of genes regulate myogenesis. We tested whether hormone Klotho could influence response muscle to loading. Applying loads myoblasts vitro increased RNA encoding transcription factors are expressed activated ( Myod ) and myogenic cells have initiated terminal differentiation Myog ). However, application prevented loading‐induced activation without affecting . This indicates elevated inhibits...
