BACKGROUND We aimed to determine the effect of resistance exercise intensity (%1 repetition maximum-1RM) and volume on muscle protein synthesis, anabolic signaling, and myogenic gene expression. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Fifteen men (21+/-1 years; BMI=24.1+/-0.8 kg/m2) performed 4 sets of unilateral leg extension exercise at different exercise loads and/or volumes: 90% of repetition maxi...

The purpose of this study is to determine whether moderate-intensity resistance exercise (MOD) lowers postprandial lipemia (PPL) as much as high-intensity resistance exercise (HI) of equal work. Ten healthy men performed three trials, each conducted over 2 days. On day 1 of each treatment, they either did not exercise (CON), performed 3 sets of 16 repetitions of 10 exercises at 50% of 8 repetit...

Abstract Study aim : This study aimed to determine and compare the ‘optimum power load’ in hexagonal (HBDL) straight (SBDL) bar deadlift exercises. Material methods Fifteen novice strength-trained males performed three repetitions of HBDL SBDL at loads from 20–90% their one-repetition maximum (1RM). Peak power, average peak velocity, velocity were determined each repetition using a velocity-bas...

BACKGROUND This study compared the effect of treadmill running on subsequent upper limb exercise performance in young men. METHODS Seventeen men (24.8±5.2 years) completed a: 1) bench press resistance control session; 2) interval protocol followed by and 3) continuous session. Four sets were performed at 80% 1RM up to volitional failure. In protocol, eight sprints 40s 100% velocity maximal oxyg...

Dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (MPs) are important for immunological homeostasis in the colon. We found that F4/80(hi)CX3CR1(hi) (CD11b(+)CD103(-)) cells account for 80% of mouse colonic lamina propria MHC-II(hi) cells. Both CD11c(+) and CD11c(-) cells within this population were identified as MPs based on multiple criteria, including an MP transcriptome revealed by microarray analysis. ...

PURPOSE Training attendance is an important variable for attaining optimal results after a resistance training (RT) program, however, the association of attendance with the gains of muscle strength is not well defined. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to verify if attendance would affect muscle strength gains in healthy young males. METHODS Ninety two young males with no previou...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was  to identify demographic, clinical, psychosocial, physical and environmental factors that are associated with participation in and adherence to a combined resistance and endurance exercise program among cancer survivors, shortly after completion of primary cancer treatment. Data from the randomized controlled Resistance and Endurance exercise After Chem...

Thinning is one of the intensive forest management techniques commonly applied to increase the merchantable timber volume. However, how thinning affects soil–atmospheric fluxes of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is poorly understood. A field experiment with four treatments (CK: unthinned; MB: medium intensity thinning from below; HB: high intensity thinning from below; and HI: high intensity thinning b...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of two programs of standard sets and circuit weight training with different intensities on response of excess post exercise oxygen consumption (epoc) in young men. for this purpose, twelve healthy men (mean±sd: age, 21.92±1.1 years; height, 175.17±4.55cm; weight, 69.74±7.5kg) were voluntarily selected and participated in two stages of t...
