University students are a vulnerable group for poor dietary intake, insufficient physical activity and sedentary behaviour. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on university students’ activity, Participants were (n = 125) from Universities Saskatchewan Regina. An online questionnaire administered retrospectively (for prepandemic) prospectively (during pandemic) Overall, nutrient caloric intakes significantly reduced (p < 0.05) during...
Wearing face masks is recommended for the prevention of contracting or exposing others to cardiorespiratory infections, such as COVID-19. Controversy exists on whether wearing during vigorous exercise affects performance. We used a randomized, counterbalanced cross-over design evaluate effects surgical mask, cloth no mask in 14 participants (7 men and 7 women; 28.2 ± 8.7 y) cycle ergometry test exhaustion. Arterial oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry) tissue oxygenation index (indicator...
To study the effect of creatine (Cr) supplementation combined with resistance training on muscular performance and body composition in older men.Thirty men were randomized to receive (CRE, N = 16, age 70.4 +/- 1.6 yr) or placebo (PLA, 14, 71.1 1.8 yr), using a double blind procedure. Cr consisted 0.3-g Cr.kg(-1) weight for first 5 d (loading phase) 0.07-g thereafter. Both groups participated (36 sessions, 3 times per week, sets 10 repetitions, 12 exercises). Muscular strength was assessed by...
To compare the change in muscle creatine, fiber morphology, body composition, hydration status, and exercise performance between vegetarians nonvegetarians with 8 wk of creatine supplementation resistance training.Eighteen VG 24 NV subjects (19-55 yr) were randomly assigned (double blind) to four groups: + (VGCr, N=10), placebo (VGPl, N=8), (NVCr, N=12), (NVPl, N=12). Before at end study, biopsies taken from vastus lateralis m, composition was assessed by DXA, strength using 1-RM bench press...
Lower-extremity muscle strength is important in predicting fall risk older adults. Handheld dynamometry (HHD) a tool used to measure isometric the adult, but few studies have evaluated utility of HHD for groups beyond knee extension. The purpose this study was evaluate reliability at hip, knee, and ankle compare values other (ID) balance recovery This repeated measures design 18 men women, age 65 92 years age, who had testing 3 7 days apart by same examiner repeat on day using 2 independent...
Schwanbeck, S, Chilibeck, PD, and Binsted, G. A comparison of free weight squat to smith machine using electromyography. J Strength Cond Res 23(9): 2588-2591, 2009-The purpose this experiment was determine whether or Smith squats were optimal for activating the prime movers legs stabilizers trunk. Six healthy participants performed 1 set 8 repetitions (using a they could lift times, i.e., 8RM, repetition maximum) each in randomized order with minimum 3 days between sessions, while...
Purpose: To determine whether low-dose creatine and protein supplementation during resistance training (RT; 3 d·wk−1; 10 wk) in older men (59-77 yr) is effective for improving strength muscle mass without producing potentially cytotoxic metabolites (formaldehyde). Methods: Older were randomized (double-blind) to receive 0.1 g·kg−1 + 0.3 (CP; n = 10), (C; 13), or placebo (PLA; 12) on days. Measurements before after RT included lean tissue (air-displacement plethysmography), thickness...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects Red Bull energy drink on Wingate cycle performance and muscle endurance. Healthy young adults (N = 15, 11 men, 4 women, 21 +/- 5 y old) participated in a crossover which they were randomized supplement with (2 mg/kg body mass caffeine) or isoenergetic, isovolumetric, noncaffeinated placebo, separated by 7 d. Muscle endurance (bench press) assessed maximum number repetitions over 3 sets (separated 1-min rest intervals) at an intensity...
We compared the effects of a low-glycemic index pulse-based diet, containing lentils, beans, split peas, and chickpeas, to Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet on cardio-metabolic measures in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Ninety-five (18⁻35 years) enrolled 16-week intervention; 30 31 TLC groups completed study. Women participated aerobic exercise training (minimum 5 days/week for 45 min/day) were counselled (monthly) about PCOS lifestyle modification. underwent...
Our purpose was to assess muscular adaptations during 6 weeks of resistance training in 36 males randomly assigned supplementation with whey protein (W; 1.2 g/kg/day), and creatine monohydrate (WC; 0.1 or placebo (P; g/kg/day maltodextrin). Measures included lean tissue mass by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, bench press squat strength (1-repetition maximum), knee extension/flexion peak torque. Lean increased a greater extent WC compared the other groups, W P group (p < .05). Bench for...
