It has been demonstrated that strength training can be organized in children a safe and effective way. However, there is limited data regarding its impact on muscle hypertrophy. This study investigated the effects of high-intensity (HIS) knee extensor/flexor strength, countermovement (CMJ) jumping height, postural control, soft lean mass cross-sectional area (CSA) dominant leg prepubertal children. Thirty-two participated this were assigned to an intervention (INT; n=17) or control class...
Abstract BACKGROUND Effective nonpharmacological interventions targeting the enhancement of vascular function and decline body fatness (BF) in obese individuals are indispensable for prevention hypertension cardiovascular events young adults. Mat Pilates training (MPT) has gained significant popularity worldwide, yet its effects on composition understudied. We examined MPT BF women with elevated blood pressure (BP). METHODS Twenty-eight BP were randomized to an (n = 14) or a nonexercising...
Aging and menopause are associated with decreased nitric oxide bioavailability due to reduced L-arginine (L-ARG) levels contributing endothelial dysfunction (ED). ED precedes arterial stiffness hypertension development, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the effects of L-citrulline (L-CIT) on function, aortic stiffness, resting brachial blood pressures (BP) in hypertensive postmenopausal women. Twenty-five women were randomized 4 weeks L-CIT (10 g) or...
Background This study examined whether prazosin reduces alcohol drinking over the course of prolonged treatment and it blocks initiation in rats with a genetic predisposition toward high drinking, that is alcohol-preferring (P) rats. Methods In one, alcohol-experienced P had been for 2 h/d several months were treated daily (0, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mg/kg body weight [BW]) 7 weeks. two, alcohol-naïve BW) weeks prior to, concomitantly with, access throughout 3 availability. Prazosin then...
Background Many alcoholics and heavy drinkers undergo repeated cycles of alcohol abstinence followed by relapse to drinking; a pattern that contributes escalated intake over time. In rodents, drinking is interspersed with periods deprivation (imposed abstinence) increases during reaccess alcohol. This termed the "alcohol effect" or "ADE" model in humans. We have previously reported prazosin reduces both brief prolonged treatment rats selectively bred for preference ("P" rats). study explores...
Postmenopausal women (PMW) may experience endothelial dysfunction associated with arginine (ARG) deficiency relative to asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) caused by oxidative stress. Endothelial contributes increased blood pressure (BP) responsiveness sympathoexcitation induced the cold pressor test (CPT). We investigated effects of citrulline alone (CIT) and combined antioxidant glutathione (CIT+GSH) on vascular function. Forty-four healthy PMW were randomized CIT (6 g), CIT+GSH (2 g + 200...
Hypertension is highly prevalent in postmenopausal women. Endothelial dysfunction associated with hypertension and the age-related decreases muscle mass strength. L-citrulline supplementation (CIT) slow velocity low-intensity resistance training (SVLIRT) have improved vascular function, but their effect on unclear. We investigated whether combined CIT SVLIRT (CIT + SVLIRT) would additional benefits leg endothelial function (superficial femoral artery flow-mediated dilation (sfemFMD)), lean...
Background This study examined whether varenicline ( VAR ), or naltrexone NTX alone in combination, reduces alcohol drinking alcohol‐preferring (P) rats with a genetic predisposition toward high voluntary intake. Methods Alcohol‐experienced P that had been (15% v/v) for 2 h/d 4 weeks were fed either vehicle VEH (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/kg body weight [BW] (10.0, 15.0, 20.0 BW + 1 of dose combinations (0.5 10.0 , 0.5 15.0 1.0 ) at hour prior to access 10 consecutive days, and the effects on intake...
It is widely assumed that the amount of alcohol in blood reflects consumed. However, several factors addition to consumed can influence concentration (BAC). This study examines effect dose, concentration, and volume on BAC rats with a high-alcohol-drinking (HAD) phenotype.
Arm injuries are the most common throwing injury, with growing concern as severe injuries, such UCL reconstruction continue to rise. Furthermore, frequently recurrent suggesting once injured, players at increased risk for another arm injury. The increase in injury rates and severity has been attributed increases pitching volume year around participation, specialized training.

Postmenopausal women (post-MW) have greater risk of heart failure due to aortic pulsatile overload on the left ventricle associated with increased backward wave pressure (Pb). Post-MW exaggerated peripheral blood (BP) response exercise mediated by metaboreflex (postexercise muscle ischemia [PEMI]) overactivation. Increased forward (Pf) and Pb are determinants pulse (PP) during isometric handgrip exercis (IHG) in young adults. We hypothesized that PP responses PEMI augmented nonhypertensive...
This study examined whether naltrexone (NTX) or varenicline (VAR), alone in combination, can retard the phenotypic expression of a genetic predisposition toward high alcohol drinking rats selectively bred for intake when drug treatment is initiated prior to, concomitantly with, onset drinking.
Abstract Background Peripheral mean arterial pressure (MAP) responses to muscle metaboreflex activation using postexercise ischemia (PEMI) in type 2 diabetes patients (T2D) are contradictory. Given that aortic pulse (PP) and wave reflections better indicators of cardiac load than peripheral MAP, we evaluated blood (BP) amplitude during PEMI. METHODS Aortic BP amplitudes were measured at rest PEMI following isometric handgrip 30% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) 16 T2D 15 controls. Resting...
Existing near-data processing (NDP)-powered architectures have demonstrated their strength for some data-intensive applications. Data center servers, however, to serve not only but also compute-intensive An in-depth understanding of the impact NDP on various data applications is still needed. For example, can a application benefit from NDP? In addition, current techniques focus maximizing rate by always utilizing all computing resources at times. Is this “always running in full gear”...
Abstract Postmenopausal women have augmented pressure wave responses to low-intensity isometric handgrip exercise (IHG) due an overactive metaboreflex (postexercise muscle ischaemia, PEMI), contributing increased aortic systolic blood (SBP). Menopause-associated endothelial dysfunction via arginine (ARG) and nitric oxide deficiency may contribute exaggerated SBP responses. L-Citrulline supplementation (CIT) is ARG precursor that decreases SBP, pulse (PP) cold exposure in older adults. We...
