Purpose : To identify the period prevalence of hormonal contraceptive (HC) use and characterize perceived side effects associated with menstrual cycle HC use. Methods A total 430 elite female athletes completed a questionnaire to assess use, reasons for initiation discontinuation HCs, experienced by non-HC users. Descriptive statistics, between-groups comparisons, associations between categorical variables were calculated. Results Of studied, 49.5% currently using HCs 69.8% had used at some...
With ageing, bone tissue undergoes significant compositional, architectural and metabolic alterations potentially leading to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the most prevalent disorder, which characterised by progressive weakening an increased risk of fragility fractures. Although this disease conventionally associated with ageing menopause, predisposing factors are thought be established during childhood adolescence. In light this, exercise interventions implemented maturation likely highly...
Abstract Hand grip strength is a widely used proxy of muscular fitness, marker frailty, and predictor range morbidities all-cause mortality. To investigate the genetic determinants variation in strength, we perform large-scale discovery analysis combined sample 195,180 individuals identify 16 loci associated with ( P <5 × 10 −8 ) analyses. A number these contain genes implicated structure function skeletal muscle fibres ACTG1 ), neuronal maintenance signal transduction PEX14, TGFA, SYT1...
Abstract Objective Overweight and obesity are characterized by excess adiposity systemic, chronic, low‐grade inflammation, which is associated with several metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility tolerability β‐alanine supplementation explore effects on cardiometabolic health cardiovascular, hepatic, renal function in adults overweight obesity. Methods A total 27 (44% female; mean [SD], age: 58 [10] years, BMI: 31.1 [2.9] kg/m 2 , hemoglobin A1c: 39.8 [4.3]...
We compared the effects of exercise intensity (EI) on bone metabolism during and for 4 days after acute, weight-bearing endurance exercise. Ten males [mean ± SD maximum oxygen uptake (Vo(2max)): 56.2 8.1 ml·min(-1)·kg(-1)] completed three counterbalanced 8-day trials. Following control days, day 4, subjects 60 min running at 55%, 65%, 75% Vo(2max). Markers resorption [COOH-terminal telopeptide region collagen type 1 (β-CTX)] formation [NH(2)-terminal propeptides procollagen (P1NP),...
We examined the isolated and combined effects of beta-alanine (BA) sodium bicarbonate (SB) on high-intensity intermittent upper-body performance in judo jiu-jitsu competitors. 37 athletes were assigned to one four groups: (1) placebo (PL)+PL; (2) BA+PL; (3) PL+SB or (4) BA+SB. BA dextrose (placebo) (6.4 g day−1) was ingested for 4 weeks 500 mg kg−1 BM SB calcium carbonate 7 days during 4th week. Before after supplementation, completed 30-s Wingate tests, separated by 3 min. Blood lactate...
To determine whether gastrointestinal (GI) distress affects the ergogenicity of sodium bicarbonate and degree alkalemia or other metabolic responses is different between individuals who improve exercise capacity those do not.Twenty-one men completed 2 cycling-capacity tests at 110% maximum power output. Participants were supplemented with 0.3 g/kg body mass either placebo (maltodextrin) (SB). Blood pH, bicarbonate, base excess, lactate determined baseline, preexercise, immediately...
Falls and osteoporotic fractures are a major public health problem, particularly among older adults. A third of individuals aged 65 years over fall at least once each year, with up to 20 % these resulting in serious injury, including fracture. In conjunction regular exercise, the importance diet for musculoskeletal has largely focused upon calcium, vitamin D, protein, context preventing falls fractures. Whilst there is evidence benefits nutrients health, other aspects remain underexplored....
To study the effects of eight weeks supervised, low intensity resistance training (80% 10 repetition maximum (10RM)) and detraining on muscle strength blood lipid profiles in healthy, sedentary postmenopausal women.Fifteen women, aged 49-62 years, took part study. Subjects were assigned to either a control (n = 7) or 8) group. The regimen consisted three sets repetitions leg press, bench knee extension, flexion, lat pull-down, days week at 80% 10RM. Dynamic strength, 10RM, (total cholesterol...
We examined the effect of β-alanine supplementation plus sodium bicarbonate on high-intensity cycling capacity.Twenty males (age = 25 ± 5 yr, height 1.79 0.06 m, body mass 80.0 10.3 kg) were assigned to either a placebo (P) or (BA; 6.4 g·d(-1) for 4 wk) group based power max, completing four capacity tests at 110% max (CCT110%) determine time exhaustion (TTE) and total work done. A CCT(110%) was performed twice (habituation baseline) before (with maltodextrin [MD]) after MD with [SB]), using...
