The aim of the study was to determine whether similar muscle strength and hypertrophy responses observed after either low-intensity resistance exercise associated with moderate blood flow restriction or high-intensity are changes in messenger RNA (mRNA) expression selected genes involved myostatin (MSTN) signaling.Twenty-nine physically active male subjects were divided into three groups: (20% one-repetition maximum (1RM)) training (LI) (n = 10), (LIR) (80% 1RM) (HI) 9). All groups underwent...
Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is one of the main outcomes from resistance training (RT), but how it modulated throughout still unknown. We show that changes in myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) after an initial exercise (RE) bout first week RT (T1) were greater than those seen post-RE at third (T2) and tenth (T3) RT, with values being similar T2 T3. Muscle damage (Z-band streaming) was highest during recovery T1, lower minimal When highest, so integrated MyoPS (at T1), neither related to...
High-intensity resistance training (HRT) has been recommended to offset age-related loss in muscle strength and mass. However, part of the elderly population is often unable exercise at high intensities. Alternatively, low-intensity with blood flow restriction (LRT-BFR) emerged. The purpose this study was compare effects LRT-BFR HRT on quadriceps mass elderly. Twenty-three individuals, 14 men 9 women (age, 64.04 ± 3.81 years; weight, 72.55 16.52 kg; height, 163 11 cm), undertook 12 weeks...
Among sport conditioning coaches, there is considerable discussion regarding the efficiency of training methods that improve lower-body power. Heavy resistance combined with vertical jump (VJ) a well-established method; however, lack information about its combination Olympic weightlifting (WL) exercises. Therefore, purpose this study was to compare short-term effects heavy either VJ or WL program. Thirty-two young men were assigned 3 groups: = 12, and control 8. These 32 participated in an...

J Strength Cond Res 23(1): 304-308, 2009-Different techniques have been used during warm-up routines. However, these routines may decrease force production. The purpose this study was to compare the acute protocol lower-limb Fourteen physically active women (169.3 ± 8.2 cm; 64.9 5.9 kg; 23.1 3.6 years) performed three...
The purpose of our study was to determine if vascular occlusion produced an additive effect on muscle hypertrophy and strength performance with high training loads. Sixteen physically active men were divided into two groups: high-intensity (HI = 6 RM) moderate-intensity (MI 12 RM). An cuff attached the proximal end right thigh, so that blood flow reduced during exercise. left leg served as a control, thus trained without occlusion. Knee extension 1 RM quadriceps cross-sectional area (MRI)...
Abstract The present study investigated the effects of different intensities resistance training (RT) on elbow flexion and leg press one‐repetition maximum (1RM) muscle cross‐sectional area (CSA). Thirty men volunteered to participate in an RT programme, performed twice a week for 12 weeks. employed within‐subject design, which one arm trained at 20% 1RM (G20) contralateral limb was randomly assigned three conditions: 40% (G40); 60% (G60), 80% (G80). G20 started session with sets failure....
The aim of this present study was to investigate on the effects concurrent training with blood flow restriction (BFR-CT) and (CT) aerobic fitness, muscle mass strength in a cohort older individuals. 25 healthy adults (64.7±4.1 years; 69.33±10.8 kg; 1.6±0.1 m) were randomly assigned experimental groups: CT (n=8, endurance (ET), 2 days/week for 30–40 min, 50–80% VO<sub>2peak</sub> RT, days/week, leg press 4 sets 10 reps at 70–80% 1-RM 60 s rest), BFR-CT (n=10, ET, similar CT, but resistance...
We investigated the responses of indirect markers exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) among a large number young men (<i>N=286</i>) stratified in clusters based on largest decrease maximal voluntary contraction torque (MVC) after an unaccustomed eccentric exercise bout elbow flexors. Changes MVC, soreness (SOR), creatine kinase (CK) activity, range motion (ROM) and upper-arm circumference (CIR) before for several days were compared between 3 established MVC (low, moderate, high responders;...
The jump squat is one of the exercises most frequently used to improve lower body power production, which influences sports performance. However, traditional determination specific workload at production maximized (i.e., optimum load) time-consuming and requires one-repetition maximum tests. Therefore, aim this study was verify whether elite athletes from different would produce mean propulsive values a narrow range velocities, resulting in similar heights. One hundred nine several...
This randomized controlled trial compared the effects of resistance training (RT) and RT with instability (RTI) on timed up go test (TUG), on-medication Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III motor subscale score (UPDRS-III), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, Questionnaire (PDQ-39) muscle strength in leg press exercise (one-repetition maximum) patients disease (PD).Thirty-nine moderate to severe PD were randomly assigned a nonexercising control group (C), group, RTI...
The metabolic stress induced by blood flow restriction (BFR) during resistance training (RT) might maximize muscle growth. However, it is currently unknown whether are associated with hypertrophy after RT protocols high- or low load. Therefore, the aim of study was to compare effect high load (HL-RT), BFR (HL-BFR), and (LL-BFR) on deoxyhemoglobin concentration [HHb] (proxy marker stress), cross-sectional area (CSA), activation, strength, architecture edema before (T1), 5 (T2), 10 weeks (T3)...
Abstract Background Exercises with motor complexity induce neuroplasticity in individuals Parkinson's disease (PD), but its effects on freezing of gait are unknown. The objective this study was to verify if adapted resistance training instability — exercises will be more effective than traditional rehabilitation without improving freezing‐of‐gait severity, outcomes linked gait, and brain function. Methods Freezers were randomized either the group (n = 17) or active control (traditional...
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the effects progressive overload in resistance training on muscle strength and cross-sectional area (CSA) by specifically comparing impact increasing load (LOADprog) versus an increase repetitions (REPSprog). We used a within-subject experimental design which 39 previously untrained young persons (20 men 19 women) had their legs randomized LOADprog REPSprog. Outcomes were assessed before after 10 weeks training. Muscle using one repetition...
Abstract This study compared four different intensities of a bench press exercise for muscle soreness, creatine kinase activity, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations in the blood. Thirty-five male Brazilian Army soldiers were randomly assigned to one five groups: 50% one-repetition maximum (1-RM), 75% 1-RM, 90% 110% control group that did not perform exercise. The total volume (sets × repetitions load) was matched among...
