As it is a common observation that obesity tends to occur after discontinuation of exercise, we investigated how white adipocytes isolated from the periepididymal fat of animals with interrupted physical training transport and oxidize glucose, and whether these adaptations support the weight regain seen after 4 weeks of physical detraining. Male Wistar rats (45 days old, weighing 200 g) were di...

The present study was performed to clarify the effects of intermittent exposure to an altitude of 4,500 m with endurance training and detraining on ventilatory chemosensitivity. Seven subjects (sea-level group) trained at sea level at 70% maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) for 30 min/day, 5 days/wk for 2 wk, whereas the other seven subjects (altitude group) trained at the same relative intensity (...

BACKGROUND Different conditions may alter tendon characteristics. Clinical evidence suggests that tendon injuries are more frequent in athletes that change type, intensity and duration of training. Aim of the study was the assessment of training and especially detraining on the patellar tendon (PT) and its enthesis. METHODS 27 male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: 20 rats...

the aim of this study was to assess the effects of eight weeks of continuous running trainingand four weeks of detraining on lipid peroxidation (mda) and anti-oxidative system response after an acute exercise session. for this purpose, 20 sedentary healthy males were randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control. at the beginning, before and after one acute exercise session, blood ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of age and gender on the strength response to strength training (ST) and detraining. METHODS Eighteen young (20-30 yr) and 23 older (65-75 yr) men and women had their one-repetition maximum (1 RM) and isokinetic strength measured before and after 9 wk of unilateral knee extension ST (3 d x wk(-1)) and 31 wk of detraining.
