PURPOSE To determine the effect of weight training on measures of iron status in young males and females. METHODS Forty (27 female, 13 male) non-weight-trained college age subjects participated in a 12-wk weight-training program conducted 3 d.wk-1. Blood samples and food diaries were obtained pretraining and at 4-wk intervals. Blood was analyzed for hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum iron (SI), to...

This study investigated the effects of endurance followed by strength training (ES, men n = 16; women n = 15), the reverse exercise order (SE, men n = 18, women n = 13) and concurrent endurance and strength training performed on alternating days (AD, men n = 21, women n = 18) on cardiorespiratory parameters. Peak oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text]O2peak) and oxygen consumption at sub-maxim...

PURPOSE To assess the effects of creatine supplementation, associated or not with strength training, upon emotional and cognitive measures in older woman.

although, iron depletion is a common disorder among athletes, little data exist regarding the effect of gymnastic training on iron status. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gymnastic exercise on body iron status and hematologic profile. the present investigation involved 35 male gymnasts aged from 6 to14 yrs. serum ferritin level, total iron binding capacity (tibc), iron...

BACKGROUND The functional status and outcomes in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) are often limited by poor endurance and pulmonary mechanics, which result from the primary diseases or prolonged time bedridden. We evaluate the impact of exercise training on pulmonary mechanics, physical functional status, and hospitalization outcomes in PMV patients. METHODS Twenty-seven ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Many exercise studies, although generally showing the beneficial effects of supervised aerobic, resistance or combined exercise on blood lipids, have sometimes reached equivocal conclusions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of different programs that combined exercise and dietary restriction on blood lipids versus a clinical practice intervention for weight los...
