The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of different rest intervals (RI) between sets on number of repetitions, sustainability of repetitions, and total volume during a leg press exercise. Seventeen resistance-trained older women (68.0 ± 5.9 years, 71. 2 ± 11.7 kg, 1.58 ± 0.07 m) participated in the study. All participants performed three sets to voluntary exhaustion, with loads that...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of two kinds of resistance training and one period of detraining on serum levels of myostatin, cortisol, testosterone and muscle strength of non-athlete men. for this purpose, 34 non-athlete men (age 33.35+2.8 yr) were divided into three groups: experimental a (4 sessions of training per week), experimental b (3 sessions of training per week) an...

PURPOSE L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in human muscle and plays an important role in protein synthesis and can reduce the levels of inflammation biomarkers and creatine kinase (CK) after training sessions. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) develops after intense exercise and is associated with an inflammatory response. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effe...

conclusions beta-alanine supplementation has limited antioxidant effect during the repeated wts. background carnosine is a dipeptide formed from the β-alanine and histidine amino acids and found in mainly in the brain and muscle, especially fast twitch muscle. carnosine and creatine has an antioxidant effect and carnosine accounts for about 10% of the muscle's ability to buffer the h+ ions prod...
