Exposure to high-altitude hypoxia causes physiological and metabolic adaptive changes by disturbing homeostasis. Hypoxia-related in skeletal muscle affect the closely interconnected energy regeneration processes. The balance between protein synthesis degradation is regulated several molecules such as myostatin, cytokines, vitamin D, irisin. This study investigates irisin myostatin levels male climbers after a 2-week expedition, their association with 25(OH)D indices of inflammatory was...

The aim of the present study was to compare selected markers oxidative stress and antioxidant system between groups men aged 65 or more, differentiated by their level physical activity. Thirty-one community-dwelling healthy, elderly (mean age 73.4 +/- 6.1 years) with a good nutritional status participated in study. Caltrac accelerometer used estimate energy expenditure related Subjects were divided into two according criteria proposed Bauman: less active (< 1600 kcal/week) more (>...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect Nordic walking training on indices bone and carbohydrate metabolism in relation 25(OH)D levels postmenopausal women that were subjected outdoor systematic physical activity. performed 10 women, who participated a 12-week exercise program, taking place during spring months (March June). Anthropometric biochemical parameters measured before after program. Serum concentrations 25-hydroksycholekalciferol (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH),...

Regular exercise leads to changes in muscle metabolism. The consequence of this is the adaptation higher training loads.The aim study was evaluate biomechanical and biochemical parameters describing functions skeletal muscles periods when forms were introduced.Seventeen male sweep-oar rowers, members Polish national rowing team, participated. carried out at beginning end preparatory period. In first second examination measurements torques selected groups blood analysis performed.There...

Effects of annual training cycle on the metabolic response to supra-maximal exercise test in beach volleyball players The aim this study was analyze effects sports physiological during consecutive phases cycle. carried out at onset each phase. VO 2 max determined by an indirect method using Ästand-Rhyming nomogram and biochemical analyses were performed before after Wingate test. Concentrations lactate capillary blood measured levels glucose, insulin, visfatin, resistin, thiobarbituric acid...

The aim of the research was to present importance measuring impulse force in assessing exercise capacity professional rowers and canoeists rather than conducting traditional physiological biochemical analyses. A group 20 athletes (12 8 canoeists) underwent progressive intensity tests two testing sessions (before after a training period). During tests, maximal aerobic capacity, strength, metabolic indices, markers skeletal muscle damage were assessed. Total testosterone, free cortisol,...

Abstract The purpose of the study was to assess association cartilage metabolism biomarkers and vitamin D metabolite levels with muscle biomechanical functions in professional rowers canoeists. serum aggrecan, oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) were determined elite male sweep-oar (n = 24) canoeists 15). This followed by a consisting isometric measurement peak torque (PT) muscles involved rowing cycle athletes. There found significant correlations COMP ratio trunk...

Abstract Deterioration of the structure and function musculoskeletal system represents a significant problem during aging intervention with suitable load physical activity may improve quality life. Nordic walking (NW) has become popular easily accessible form activity, especially for older adults people around world. Thus, purpose study was to evaluate influence an training program classic poles integrated resistance shock absorber (RSA) on bone mineral density peak torques upper limb...
