No effect of antioxidant supplementation on muscle performance and blood redox status adaptations to eccentric training
(2011-06-01)
Background: It was recently reported that antioxidant supplementation decreases training efficiency and prevents cellular adaptations to chronic exercise. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of vitamin ...
No adverse effects of statins on muscle function and health-related parameters in the elderly: An exercise study
(2013-10-01)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a repeated bout of eccentric exercise on health-related parameters and muscle performance on subjects undergoing atorvastatin therapy. Twenty-eight elderly men ...
A weekly bout of eccentric exercise is sufficient to induce health-promoting effects
(2011-01-01)
Purpose: The effects of chronic eccentric-only versus concentric-only exercise on muscle physiology and blood biochemistry were investigated. Methods: Twenty women performed on an isokinetic dynamometer a concentric (n = ...
Chronic eccentric exercise and antioxidant supplementation: Effects on lipid profile and insulin sensitivity
(2017-09-01)
Eccentric exercise has been shown to exert beneficial effects in both lipid profile and insulin sensitivity. Antioxidant supplementation during chronic exercise is controversial as it may prevent the physiological ...
The microcycle of inflammation and performance changes after a basketball match
(2014-05-01)
Basketball incorporates intense eccentric muscle activity that induces muscle microtrauma and an inflammatory response. This study investigated time-dependent inflammatory and performance responses during a weekly microcycle ...
A single bout of downhill running transiently increases HOMA-IR without altering adipokine response in healthy adult women
(2013-12-01)
Purpose: Eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage may cause marked alterations in insulin sensitivity. However, it is not entirely known whether such alterations are also related to changes in adipokine levels. The aim of ...
Age-related responses in circulating markers of redox status in healthy adolescents and adults during the course of a training macrocycle
(2015-01-01)
Redox status changes during an annual training cycle in young and adult track and field athletes and possible differences between the two age groups were assessed. Forty-six individuals (24 children and 22 adults) were ...
The time-frame of acute resistance exercise effects on football skill performance: The impact of exercise intensity
(2013-04-01)
The purpose of this study was to determine the recovery rate of football skill performance following resistance exercise of moderate or high intensity. Ten elite football players participated in three different trials: ...
Physiological and performance adaptations of elite Greco-Roman wrestlers during a one-day tournament
(2011-07-01)
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a simulated one-day Greco-Roman wrestling tournament on selected performance and inflammatory status indices. Twelve competitive wrestlers (22.1 ± 1.3 years) completed ...
Comparison between glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient and normal individuals after eccentric exercise
(2010-06-01)
PURPOSE: Theoretically, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient compared with nondeficient individuals may be less capable of performing physical activities and/or may be more vulnerable to muscle damage and ...
