Exercise Order in Resistance Training

Sports Medicine, 2012
Resistance training (RT) is now an integral component of a well rounded exercise programme. For a correct training prescription, it is of the utmost importance to understand the interaction among training variables, such as the load, volume, rest interval between sets and exercises, frequency of sessions, exercise modality, repetition velocity and ...

Exercise and Insulin Resistance

2020
In insulin resistance, alterations occur in the signalling pathways that modulate glucose uptake into cells, especially skeletal muscle cells, resulting in impaired glucose homeostasis. Glucose uptake into cells is controlled by a number of pathways, some of which are insulin-dependent.

Cerebral hemodynamics and resistance exercise

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2002
Repetitive resistance exercise with large muscle mass causes rapid fluctuations in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). We sought to determine the effect of these fluctuations on the cerebrovasculature response determined by mean flow velocity (Vmean) of the middle cerebral artery.Nine subjects performed 10-repetition maximum leg press exercise. MAP was

Resistance exercise in cardiac rehabilitation

Clinical Rehabilitation, 2011
This series of articles for rehabilitation in practice aims to cover a knowledge element of the rehabilitation medicine curriculum. Nevertheless they are intended to be of interest to a multidisciplinary audience. The competency addressed in this article is ‘The trainee consistently demonstrates a knowledge of basic exercise physiology and is able to ...

PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE EXERCISES

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1952
To the Editor:— The paper of Dr. A. L. Watkins (Practical Applications of Progressive Resistance Exercises, J. A. M. A. 148 :443-446 [Feb.] 1952) merits special consideration by its stressing the use of this form of exercise not only in traumatic conditions but also in neurological and medical cases.

Endocrine responses to resistance exercise

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1988
The purpose of this brief review is to examine resistance training responses of selected hormones related to acute stress and growth promoting actions. Hormonal mechanisms appear to be involved with both short-term homeostatic control and long-term cellular adaptations.

Exercise and resistance to infection

Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1998
Epidemiological data suggest that endurance athletes are at increased risk for upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) during periods of heavy training and the 1- to 2-week period following race events. Moderate exercise training has been associated with a reduction in incidence of URTI.

Protein Nutrition and Resistance Exercise

Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology, 2001
Strength conditioning will result in an increase in muscle size and this increase in size is largely the result of increased contractile proteins. The mechanisms by which the mechanical events stimulate an increase in RNA synthesis and subsequent protein synthesis are not well understood.

Exercise and resistance to infection

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1993
The influence of exercise on resistance to infection has been debated for decades. Part of this controversy is due to the complex interactions between pathogens and host defense mechanisms as well as to the mutable nature of exercise. Psychological influences and normal temporal variations in immune mechanisms have also complicated the issue.

Exercise in chronic pulmonary disease: resistance exercise prescription

Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 2001
Resistance exercise training has received relatively little attention as a means to reduce the muscle dysfunction and ensuing exercise intolerance seen in chronic pulmonary diseases. To date, only a few studies have examined the characteristics of skeletal muscle function or its responsiveness to strength training in patients with chronic respiratory ...
