Endurance Limit of Cranking Work in Relation with Muscular Strength and Muscular Training

Muscular Strength Training Effects on Aerobic Endurance Performance, a Review

Pate and Kriska (1984) have described a model that incorporates the three major factors that account for interindividual variance in aerobic endurance performance, namely maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), anaerobic or lactate threshold (LT) and work economy (C). Numerous published studies support the model and thus, the model should serve as a useful framework for the comprehensive study of stren...

Can elderly increase muscular strength with training?

Introduction Individuals 65 years of age and older make up the elderly population. Aging is a dynamic process accompanied by a decline in skeletal muscle strength, mass, and power. Functional capacity decreases and an activity such as rising from a chair that represents submaximal effort in young people becomes a maximal effort activity in the elderly [3]. There are multiple factors contributin...

Endurance training improves fitness and strength in patients with Becker muscular dystrophy.

Studies in a dystrophinopathy model (the mdx mouse) suggest that exercise training may be deleterious for muscle integrity, but exercise has never been studied in detail in humans with defects of dystrophin. We studied the effect of endurance training on conditioning in patients with the dystrophinopathy, Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Eleven patients with BMD and seven matched, healthy subje...

Effect of concurrent training (endurance-resistance) on serum level of prostate specific antigen (PSA), cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and body composition in men over 50

Effect of Lumbar Progressive Resistance Exercise on Lumbar Muscular Strength and Core Muscular Endurance in Soldiers.

OBJECTIVES Low back pain is common, costly, and disabling for active duty military personnel and veterans. The evidence is unclear on which management approaches are most effective. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of lumbar extensor high-intensity progressive resistance exercise (HIPRE) training versus control on improving lumbar extension muscular strength and core mu...
