Background: Nighttime eating, particularly before bed, has received considerable media attention in recent years. The common thought was to avoid caloric intake post-dinner and pre-sleep due to worries of weight gain and a negative...
The Effects of an Acute Bout of Continuous versus Accumulated Exercise of Isocaloric Energy Expenditure on Blood Lipids, Lipoproteins and Related Enzyme Activities
Effects of acute bouts of continuous versus accumulated exercise of isocaloric energy expenditure on blood lipids, lipoproteins and related enzyme activities. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if exercise, whether...
Background: Until recently, consuming nutrients close to sleep was believed to have negative impacts on body composition and overall health. However, recent work from our laboratory and others has demonstrated that a low calorie snack, ...
Weight and body composition change in male freshman students. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if participation in mandatory physical training (PT) by Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets would promote...
Effects of Consuming Cottage Cheese or Casein Protein Beverage Before Sleep on Morning Appetite and Resting Energy Expenditure in Active, Collegiate-Aged Women
BACKGROUND: There is a window of opportunity for the overnight period where pre-sleep protein intake yields favorable benefits. Previous studies report that dietary protein consumption prior to sleep is fully digested and absorbed by the...
The Relationship between Protein Intake on Factors Associated with Glycemic Control and Cardiovascular Health in Individuals with Pre-and Type 2-Diabetes
Background and Significance: The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and pre-diabetes continues to increase. Many individuals are not aware of having the disease or early stages of the disease, pre-diabetes, until symptoms...
Purpose. The primary purpose was to determine the effect of sleep time on performance during a 3-day multistage ultra-endurance triathlon (stage 1: 10km swim, 144.8km bike; stage 2: 275.8km bike; stage 3: 84.4km run). Methods. Eighteen...
Background: Athletes regularly compete in temperatures ranging from well below 0ยฐ Celsius (C) to those exceeding human body temperature (37ยฐC). The lack of current understanding regarding the individual and interactive influences of...
PURPOSE: Diving operations may require personnel to be immersed for extended periods while breathing compressed air or 100% O2. The main objective of this study was to investigate the physiological effects of single and repetitive diving...
Does Baseline HDL-C Influence the Dose and Response Relationship Between Acute Exercise and Post-exercise HDL-C Improvement? Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) status (low...
Background: Female aesthetic athletes strive to attain an ideal body image for their sports. Dancers in particular pose an addition issue in that they are performing artists and are often not considered athletes. The physical demands...
Introduction: Cold-induced changes in lactate kinetics are critically important for athletes, particularly those training and competing in the cold. Alterations in lactate production and/or clearance may result in altered blood lactate...
The number of women participating in resistance training has increased from 14.4% in 1994 to 21.0% in 2010 (418). Resistance training is known to enhance body composition (20); however, the effects of an acute bout of resistance exercise...
BACKGROUND: It is well-documented that ingesting carbohydrate prior to exercise attenuates fat oxidation. However, it is yet to be established whether this effect is primarily the result of alterations in the mobilization of free fatty...
Anti-Catabolic Effects of Conjugated Linoleic Acid and Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Administration in Resting or Loaded Skeletal Muscles of Middle Aged Mice during 20 Weeks of High Fat Diet
The age-related loss of muscle mass and strength (i.e. sarcopenia) is a fundamental cause of frailty, functional decline, and disability, leading to poor quality of life in aging populations. Sarcopenic obesity, a recent medical term, ...
BACKGROUND: Nutrient timing is an effective means of augmenting endurance exercise training and performance. Previous studies report that pre-exercise feeding can influence exercise metabolism up to 4 hours post-prandial. However, this...
A cross-sectional study in older women was designed and conducted to identify prevalence, specific characteristics and diagnostic criteria for the newly identified condition named osteosarcopenic obesity syndrome. Osteosarcopenic obesity...
Acute exercise reduces triglycerides (TG) and increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and HDL2-C in both men and women. However, data are sparse in obese women, who might benefit more from the effects of exercise, since...
PURPOSE: To examine the influence of the Ultraman triathlon (3 days of non-continuous racing; stage 1: 10 km swim and 144.8 km cycle; stage 2: 275.4 km cycle; stage 3: 84.4 km run) on circulating plasma concentrations of whole-body (CRP, ...
Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the ability to sustain a maximal running effort. Furthermore, the effects of aerobic fitness level, gender, anaerobic capacity, efficiency of energy production and utilization, ...
The Effect of Nighttime Macronutrient Choice and Exercise Training on Body Composition, Strength, Cardiovascular Health, Resting Metabolism, and Appetite in Overweight and Obese Adults
Background: Nighttime eating is often associated with metabolic syndrome and poor body composition and these conditions may be influenced by the natural decline in metabolism that occurs during sleep. However, only limited research has...
Effects of Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methylbutyrate (HMB) on Body Composition, Functionality, MR-Determined Myofiber Dimensions, and Transcript Factors Inovolved in Myofiber Growth in Young and Old Fisher 344 Rats
'Sarcopenic obesity, ' a recent medical term, refers to a new trend in aged individuals who simultaneously demonstrate reductions and increases in lean mass and fat mass, respectively. As the elderly population increases, the economic...
Background: Athletes continue to strive for an edge over the competition. In recent years, dietary nitrate supplementation, particularly in the form of beetroot juice, has been shown to improve oxygen cost economy in endurance-focused...
Periodization signifies an athletic training program with structured variations in training volume and intensity to elicit peak performance for a pre-determined date at the completion of the structured training program. A type of...
The overall purpose of this study is to investigate the physical performance of early postmenopausal Caucasian women during a 12-month weight reduction program. Additionally, the relationships between body composition (bone, fat and lean...
Obesity is a known pathological condition associated with impaired glucose homeostasis leading to type 2 diabetes and increased susceptibility to loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Recent investigations have demonstrated...
