Our objective was to investigate the effects of iron depletion on adaptation aerobic exercise, assessed by time complete a 15-km cycle ergometer test. Forty-two iron-depleted (serum ferritin <16 μg/l), nonanemic (Hb >12 g/dl) women (18–33 yr old) received 100 mg ferrous sulfate (S) or placebo (P) per day for 6 wk in randomized, double-blind trial. Subjects trained 30 min/day, 5 days/wk at 75–85% maximum heart rate final 4 study. There were no group differences baseline status time....
Obesity and insulin resistance (IR) increase the risk for coronary heart disease; however, much of this is not attributable to traditional factors. We sought determine whether weight loss associated with supervised aerobic exercise beneficially alters biomarkers oxidative stress these alterations are improvements in measures resistance. Twenty-five sedentary overweight obese [body mass index (BMI) = 33.0 +/- 0.8 kg/m(2)] individuals, characteristics metabolic syndrome, participated a 4- 7-mo...
The purpose of this study was to assess the dietary intakes and behaviors male female collegiate athletes. Athletes ( n = 345) at a NCAA Division I university completed an anonymous questionnaire. T -tests, χ 2 statistic ANOVA were used gender sport differences. Multiple linear regression differences in nutrient intakes, controlling for energy intake examine relationships between desired weight change, behaviors, intakes. Only 15% 26% athletes had adequate carbohydrate protein, respectively,...
Glucose tolerance tests performed on 12 patients within 15 hours of myocardial infarction and repeated two to four weeks later showed failure insulin secretion, hyperglycaemia, glucose intolerance, high free fatty acid levels. More pronounced changes were found in with cardiogenic shock. These findings suggest that the therapeutic use potassium, glucose, should be re-evaluated.
Elevated postprandial glycemic (PPG) excursions are significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes patients. In this study, we tested if and how many meals a single bout of exercise would reduce PPG responses to subsequent (T2D) patients using continuous glucose monitor system (CGMS).We recruited nine sedentary (<30 min·wk(-1) exercise) individuals with T2D (mean ± SD; body mass index = 36.0 1.1 kg·m(-2), age 60.3 1.0 yr, HbA1c 6.3% 0.2%). The subjects consumed...
Abstract
PURPOSE to determine the effect of iron supplementation on status and endurance capacity in deficient nonanemic, trained males females. METHODS Twenty (serum ferritin, sFer < 16 μg/l; serum transferrin receptor, sTfR > 8.0 mg/l; or sTfR/log index 4.5), nonanemic (hemoglobin, Hb 12 g/dl) females (18- 41 y) received 30mg elemental placebo daily for 6 weeks a randomized, double blind trial. Each subject performed two exercise tests cycle ergometer pre- postsupplementation: 1. Maximal oxygen...
Weight loss improves metabolic syndrome (MetS) factors, but risk may return with weight regain. This study was designed to determine if exercise training can maintain improvements in MetS factors during In a randomized control trial,102 overweight or obese (body mass index 25.0-39.9 kg/m(2)) men and women (age 21-52 yr), characteristics of the MetS, lost 10% body supervised walking/jogging at 60% maximal oxygen consumption (Vo(2 max)) (-400 kcal/session), 5 days/wk, caloric restriction (-600...
The time course of changes in plasma bone turnover markers following an acute bout resistance training (RT) or plyometrics (PLY) has not been well characterized. This study is the first to compare response formation and resorption a single RT PLY. Using partially randomized, cross-over design, 12 recreationally active men, aged 43 ± 5 yr, each completed four exercise trials: (Fed/Fasted) PLY (Fed/Fasted). In addition trials, original participants also fasted, no-exercise control trial...
Physical activity during growth increases bone mass and strength; however, it remains unclear whether these benefits persist. The purpose of this study was to determine: (a) if loading adolescence (13-18 years) or young adulthood (19-29 in men is associated with greater mineral density (BMD) adulthood; (b) current participation high-impact (ground reaction force > 4 × body weight) and/or resistance training BMD; and, (c) continuous a from BMD. Apparently healthy, physically active aged 30...
Growth hormone (GH) action is primarily mediated by insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), although both factors show tissue-selective effects. We investigated the effects of GH, IGF-I, and GH plus IGF-I on jejunal function in rats maintained with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) given recombinant human (rhGH) (400 micrograms/day sc, twice daily) and/or rhIGF-I (800 TPN solution) for 5 days. Administration or alone produced similar increases serum levels body weight; further increased these...
