BACKGROUND Exercise training is known to increase fat utilization during exercise. Diets containing antioxidants and branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) are also reported to have potential effects on fat utilization. Cashew apple juice (CAJ) comprises many nutritional components including vitamin C and BCAAs. This study aimed to investigate the effect of CAJ supplementation on substrate utilizatio...

Our group (Magkos F, Wright DC, Patterson BW, Mohammed BS, Mittendorfer B, Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 290: E355-E362, 2006) has recently demonstrated that a single, prolonged bout of moderate-intensity cycling (2 h at 60% of peak oxygen consumption) in the evening increases basal whole-body free fatty acid (FFA) flux and fat oxidation, decreases hepatic VLDL-apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) s...

Aerobic exercise can improve cardiorespiratory fitness in young people. Irises released into the bloodstream function to execute regulation of energy metabolism, triggering browning white adipose, which is useful mitochondrial biogenesis. The American College Sport Medicine (ACSM) recommends moderate intensity training with a frequency 3-5 times week, duration 20-60 minutes, using treadmill. St...

Endurance training is associated with skeletal muscle adaptations that regulate the oxidative metabolism during ischemia/reperfusion. The aim of this study was to noninvasively assess in vivo differences in the oxidative metabolism activity during ischemia/reperfusion between trained and untrained individuals, using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with a vascular occlusion test (VOT)...

BACKGROUND Physiological responses to exercise of moderate intensity and duration among aged compared to young adults have yet to be clearly defined. Further, the effects of aging on the rate and effectiveness of postexercise recovery are unknown. METHODS Here, selected physiological responses during and following exercise of the same relative intensity were examined in untrained young and ag...
