Exercise training may be a good strategy to prevent and assist in the management of psychological disorders. The psychological effects of the ini...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 2 modes of aerobic exercise (continuous or intermittent) on maximum strength (1 repetition maximum, 1RM) and strength endurance (maximum repetitions at 80% of 1RM) for lower- and upper-body exercises to test the acute hypothesis in concurrent training (CT) interference. Eight physically active men (age: 26.9 +/- 4.2 years; body mass: 82.1...

BACKGROUND Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfr) is a new marker of iron status and erythropoietic activity. It has been included in multivariable blood testing models for the detection of performance enhancing erythropoietin misuse in sport. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of different types and volumes of physical activity on sTfr concentration, variables of iron status (ferritin, transferri...
