Endurance and strength training are established as distinct exercise modalities, increasing either mitochondrial density or myofibrillar units. Recent research, however, suggests that biogenesis is stimulated by both modalities. To test the "specificity" hypothesis, respiration was studied in permeabilized muscle fibers from 25 sedentary adults after endurance (ET) (ST) normoxia hypoxia [fraction of inspired oxygen (Fi(O(2))) = 21% 13.5%]. Biopsies were taken musculus vastus lateralis,...
<h3>Objective</h3> Hypoxia affects body iron homeostasis; however, the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. <h3>Design</h3> Using a standardised hypoxia chamber, 23 healthy volunteers were subjected to hypoxic conditions, equivalent an altitude of 5600 m, for 6 h. Subsequent experiments performed in C57BL/6 mice, CREB-H knockout primary hepatocytes and HepG2 cells. <h3>Results</h3> Exposure subjects resulted significant decrease serum levels master regulator homeostasis...
Background: Prolonged intense exercise has been associated with transient suppression of immune function and an increased risk infections. In this context, the catabolism amino acid tryptophan via kynurenine may play important role. The present study examined effect a probiotic supplement on incidence upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) metabolism aromatic acids after exhaustive aerobic in trained athletes during three months winter training. Methods: Thirty-three highly individuals...
Caffeine, nicotine, ethanol and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are among the most prevalent culturally accepted drugs in western society. For example, Europe North America up to 90% of adult population drinks coffee daily and, although less prevalent, other also used extensively by population. Smoked tobacco, excessive alcohol consumption marijuana (cannabis) smoking addictive exhibit adverse health effects. These not only common general population, but have made their way into elite sports...
Background Data on the injury and illness risk among young elite athletes are of utmost importance, because injuries illnesses can counter beneficial effects sports participation at a age, if children or adolescents unable to continue participate residual chronic illness. Objective To analyse frequencies characteristics during 2012 Innsbruck Winter Youth Olympic Games (IYOG). Methods We employed International Committee (IOC) surveillance system for multisport events, which was updated in...
Purpose: Bioelectrical-impedance standards (resistance, reactance, and phase angle) are well established for the normal population or in clinical setting considered indicators cell mass, function, hydration status. However, such do not exist male soccer population. Therefore, goal of current investigation was to provide a set bioelectrical-impedance data large sample players with different performance levels. Methods: A 893 players, registered all Italian divisions, divided into 5 groups...
Prediction of the development acute mountain sickness (AMS) in individuals going to high altitudes is still a matter debate. Whereas some studies found that subjects with blunted hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) are predisposed AMS, others did not. However, HVR has often been determined under very (5 10 min) isocapnic hypoxia without consideration subsequent decline (HVD), and assessment AMS susceptibility was based on single altitude exposure. Therefore, aim present study evaluate...
