Introduction. A growing body of evidence suggests a strong relationship between age-related declines in muscle mass, strength, and power with impaired cognitive function. To mitigate these effects, current recommendations consist of...
The incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has risen to alarming levels such that in 2020 CVD accounted for over 19 million deaths. Risk factors for CVD are advanced age, excess body mass and adipose tissue, and the frequent...
PURPOSE: Objective 1 - To determine whether trained cyclists exhibit lower bone mineral density (BMD) than recreational cyclists. Objectives 2&3 - To determine the effects of 12 weeks supplementation with calcium collagen chelate (CCC)...
INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in United States (US) [1], and the inevitable process of aging, or one's age, remains the primary unmodifiable risk factor and independent predictor of CVD...
The Effects of Twelve Weeks of Whole-Body Vibration Training and Low-Intensity Resistance Exercise Training on Arterial Function, Muscle Strength, and Physical Performance in Dynapenic Postmenopausal Women
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the modern world, markedly in postmenopausal women. Increased arterial stiffness, measured as increased pulse wave velocity (PWV), and endothelial dysfunction are large...
The Zika virus (ZIKV) presents a threat to the health of pregnant women and developing fetuses as it is associated with microcephaly. There is a current gap in the understanding of how ZIKV affects the host’s chromatin architecture....
Breast cancer survivors (BCS) encounter side effects from cancer treatments that negatively affect muscular strength and body composition, particularly the loss of lean mass. Studies have shown that resistance training (RT) can maintain...
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...
Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among women in the United States. Although survival rates have improved following diagnosis, breast cancer survivors (BCS) must contend with the negative effects of the disease and...
The utilization of sport psychology (SP) and mental performance consultants (MPCs) is becoming a mainstream resource among collegiate athletic programs. Junior colleges have yet to make this transition due to the many unique challenges...
BACKGROUND: The growth in popularity of women's soccer has led to an increased interest in the physical, physiological, and technical demands for these athletes. To meet these demands, optimal preparation and recovery are necessary. One...
PURPOSE: To determine the acute effects of nighttime pre-sleep consumption of casein protein and a placebo supplement on morning measures of RMR and appetite in pre- and postmenopausal women. METHODS: This study was a randomized...
The Clinical Application of Periodized Resistance Training during a 12-Week Hypocaloric Treatment for Obesity: A Joint Retrospective and Prospective Single-Center Study
Introduction. Medically prescribed very-low calorie diet (VLCD) systems have shown efficacy in producing clinically significant weight-loss in obese patients. This loss in bodyweight (BW), however, cannot be solely accounted for by...
While the overall survival rate for breast cancer has improved, breast cancer survivors (BCS) are still left with the negative side effects from cancer treatments that affect body composition. Cancer treatment side effects can cause a...
Declines in iron status are frequently reported in those who regularly engage in strenuous physical activity. A proposed reason is increases in the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin, which functions to inhibit dietary iron absorption and...
The effects of multi-ingredient performance supplements (MIPS) on perceived soreness, strength, flexibility and vertical jump performance following eccentric exercise are unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of...
The Effects of Resistance Training and Protein Supplementation on Body Composition, Muscular Strength, and Physical Function in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Patients
BACKGROUND: Approximately 5-6% of older individuals ≥75 years of age will develop aortic stenosis and require aortic valve replacement via transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Due to most patients not surviving ≥5 years post...
Background and Significance: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most devastating side effects of diabetes. It occurs in a diabetic patient as a result of neuropathy and or peripheral arterial disease of the lower limb. DFU has been...
Background: Aligning energy intake with the biological circadian rhythm and extending periods of fasting within a 24-h cycle improves whole-body metabolism. However, it is unknown if these improvements are related to changes in...
Alcoholic myopathy is a wasting condition that effects skeletal muscle mass. One factor that may contribute to alcoholic myopathy is anabolic resistance which is induced by alcohol intake and leads to a suppression of protein synthesis...
Background: Obesity is an ongoing socio-economic worldwide epidemic and major modifiable risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which continues to be the main determinant of all-cause mortality. A potential mechanism by which obesity...
