Download or read book Long Term Effects of Pre workout Supplementation on Clinical Health Markers in Recreationally Active Females written by Brooke E. Zajac and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consuming a multi-ingredient pre-workout supplement (MIPS) to enhance physical capabilities has become increasingly popular. However limited data is available regarding the long term safety of consuming such products. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of pre-workout supplementation on health measurements in recreationally active females. Subjects reported to the laboratory for baseline and identical post-data measurements which included blood pressure, heart rate, and blood lipids. They were then randomly assigned to ingest one serving of the pre-workout supplement or placebo daily during a 7-week period. All subjects also completed a standardized strength training program 3 times per week and were provided dietary recommendations. No significant group x time interactions were observed for heart rate (p=0.43), systolic blood pressure (p=0.18), diastolic blood pressure (p=0.20), high density lipoproteins (p=0.92), low density lipoproteins (p=0.93), triglycerides (p=0.96), or total cholesterol (p=0.99). There was a significant main effect for time observed for diastolic blood pressure which decreased over the course of the study (p ≤ 0.001). Ingesting a MIPS for 7 weeks does not appear to negatively influence clinical markers of health in active females.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-ingredient pre-workout supplements (MIPS) are consumed with the belief of enhancing exercise performance, but research has primarily dealt with male subjects. The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of ingesting a MIPS on active females. Fifteen females participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled cross-over design study. Subjects reported to the laboratory for a familiarization, baseline, and two experimental testing sessions. Experimental testing included REB, heart rate, and blood pressure. Also, muscular endurance was assessed by performing a set to failure on back squat and bench press (BP) at 85% of their 5-repetition maximum. Anaerobic power was assessed using a counter-movement vertical jump test and a nonmotorized fOrce treadmill sprint test. Subjective measurements were assessed using a 5- point Likert scale. A significant main effect for condition was observed for REE (p~0.021), diastolic blood pressure (p~O.Oil), BP repetitions (p=0.037), and total work (p=0.039) following ingestion of the MIPS. A significant condition x time interaction was observed regarding feelings of fOcus at 80-minutes post ingestion (p=0.046). In conclusion, the current study suggests that consumption of a MIPS significantly increased REE, diastolic blood pressure, upper body muscular endurance, total work completed, and produced an increase in feelings of focus.

Nelson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple ingredient pre-workout supplements (MIPS) are purported to offer favorable acute metabolic changes potentially leading to improvements in body composition over time. However, there is limited information available regarding the long-term benefits, specifically in female populations. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the long term effects of MIPS on body composition and resting energy expenditure (REE) in recreationally active females participating in a resistance training (RT) program. Nineteen females participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study. Experimental testing included body composition and REE measurements before and after a seven-week RT program while ingesting either a MIPS or placebo daily. Subjects were further instructed to follow dietary intake recommendations to elicit moderate weight loss. There were no significant group x time interactions for body fat percentage (p=0.66), fat-free mass (p=0.87), fat mass (p=0.63), REE (p=0.52), or respiratory exchange ratio (p=0.40). Significant overall main effects for time were observed between pre and midway testing for increases in fat-free mass (p
Download or read book The Long term Effects of a Multi ingredient Pre workout Supplement on Exercise Performance in Active Females written by Kaela Hoecherl and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-ingredient pre-workout supplements (MIPS) are popularly used to enhance exercise performance, but little is known regarding the long term effects. Further, limited data are available in female populations. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the long-term effects of a MIPS on training adaptations in active females. Nineteen females participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study. Participants completed a seven-week strength training program and followed dietary recommendations. Subjects reported to the laboratory for identical baseline and post-training testing sessions. Lower body power was assessed using a counter-movement vertical jump. Upper body and lower body strength were assessed by one-repetition maximum (1 RM) on the bench press and leg press. Muscular endurance tests were assessed on the bench press and leg press by performing a set to failure at 75% of calculated 1 RM. Both groups showed significant improvement in upper body strength (p=0.00) and lower body strength (p=0.00), but were not significantly different from each other for upper body (p=0.74) or lower body (p=0.53). There were no significant improvements for lower body power (p=0.86), upper body endurance (p=0.39), or lower body endurance (p=0.37). In conclusion, this study suggests that consumption of a MIPS does not significantly influence training adaptations.
Download or read book Effects of Pre workout Supplementation on Core Temperature and Metabolic Rate During Exercise written by Steven J. Czerniejewski and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of energy supplementation on exercise performance, body temperature, and metabolic rate during exercise. Recreationally active males ages 18-35 (N = 10) participated in three cycle ergometer trials, energy supplement (S), placebo (P), and water (W). Seven ANOVAs were conducted to find no statistically significant changes across each condition among oxygen consumption (VO2), heart rate (HR), core temperature (T), metabolic rate (MR), average power, and blood pressure. Slight differences did exist in that MR was greatest in the S group (12.37 ± 3.65 kcal/min) compared to W (11.96 ± 3.58 kcal/min) and P (12.31 ± 2.42 kcal/min) without a concurrent increase in T (37.77 ± 0.76 oC, 36.75 ± 0.59 oC, and 37.85 ± 0.26 oC respectively) may indicate preworkout supplementation could increase work output without compromising the bodies ability to dissipate heat.

Download or read book Educating the Student Body written by Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
Download or read book The Female Athlete Triad written by Catherine M. Gordon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to focus solely on the female athlete triad - its origins, its recognition, and most importantly, its management. Since the symptoms themselves cover a range of medical specialties, chapters are written by experts in a number of relevant fields - sports medicine, orthopedics, endocrinology, and pediatrics - with an eye toward overall care of the young female athlete. Additionally, each chapter includes suggestions on how to educate and communicate with young athletes and their parents, as well as trainers and coaches, on how to manage the illness outside of the direct clinical setting. The female athlete triad is often seen in sports where low body weight is emphasized, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and running, though it can appear in any sport or activity. The interrelated symptoms - eating disorders, amenorrhea, and low bone mass - exist on a spectrum of severity and are serious and potentially life-threatening if not properly treated. Psychological problems, in addition to medical ones, are not uncommon. The Female Athlete Triad: A Clinical Guide discusses all of these areas for a well-rounded and in-depth approach to the phenomenon and will be a useful reference for any clinician working with female athletes across the lifespan.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Which of the following will yield the fastest measurable change in performance and/or body composition? (A) changes in training. (B) changes in diet. (C) use of sports supplements. (D) they all work equally well. If you answered 'C,' go to the head of the class. That's right; the proper use of sports supplements can produce changes in minutes (e.g. caffeine), days (e.g. creatine) and weeks (e.g. beta-alanine). Yet we are bombarded by muddled thinking from the mainstream media telling us that 'creatine causes cramps,' 'high protein diets are bad for your kidneys,' 'supplements aren't needed as long as you eat a balanced diet' and other ideas that are void of data. Sports Nutrition & Performance Enhancing Supplements (eds. Abbie Smith-Ryan PhD CSCS*D CISSN and Jose Antonio PhD FNSCA FISSN. Linus Publications) is a focused resource that will give you the latest sports nutrition science, and eradicate the intellectually lazy positions held so dearly by the anti-supplement crowd."--Amazon.
Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. Designed to help readers understand and evaluate the relationship between exercise, immune function and infection risk, this book presents evidence for the "J-shaped" relationship between exercise load and infection risk. It also describes the components of the human immune system and key functions that protect the body from disease, the impact of acute and chronic psychological stress on immune function, and practical guidelines for minimizing the risk of immunodepression and infection in athletes. Further chapters explore different ways of measuring immune function, as well as the effects of heavy training on innate and specific (acquired) immunity, exercise in environmental extremes, and nutrition. Connections between exercise, infection risk, and immune function in special populations (elderly, obese, diabetic and HIV patients) are also addressed. Authored by a team of highly experienced experts. The "J-shaped" relationship between exercise load and infection risk is described, backed by current research and evidence. Components of the immune system and normal immune function are explained in detail, as well as methods for measuring immune function. The impact of acute and chronic psychological stress on immune function is presented, along with suggestions for minimizing the risk of immunodepression and infection in athletes. The effects of heavy training, exercise in environmental extremes, and nutrition are discussed with regard to their impact on innate and specific (acquired) immunity. Immune function in special populations (elderly, obese, diabetic and HIV patients) is also addressed, exploring links between exercise and infection risk in these groups. Evidence-based coverage includes a list of references in each chapter, as well as suggestions for further reading that direct readers to important texts and review articles. Information is presented in an easily accessible format, following a logical progression of material. LEach chapter begins with a list of learning objectives and ends with a list of key points to reinforce learning. A glossary at the end of the book defines all key terms and abbreviations.

Book excerpt: Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive discussion of current population-level studies showing the influence of physical activity on disease. Updated with extensive new research collected in the eight years since the previous edition, the second edition adds the expertise of respected epidemiologist I-Min Lee. To assist readers in understanding the public health significance of physical activity, Dishman, Heath, and Lee present a detailed review of research findings and what those findings suggest regarding the relationship between physical activity and a variety of health risks. The second edition of this groundbreaking text has been exhaustively updated to reflect the wealth of new research published in this fast-moving field of study. With more than 100 pages of additional content, the text also offers more detailed coverage of all-cause and coronary heart disease mortality, expanded coverage of pathophysiology and biological plausibility, new information on physical activity among various racial–ethnic populations, and the effects of physical activity on cognitive function, dementia, and HIV/AIDS. More than 250 tables and figures, twice the number found in the previous edition, highlight the latest epidemiological information in an easy-to-understand visual format. Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, assists readers in understanding how leisure-time physical activity can enhance people’s quantity and quality of life by summarizing the available knowledge, detailing the methods used to obtain it, considering its implications for public health, and outlining the important questions that remain. Readers will find comprehensive discussion of these topics: • Evidence that physical activity protects against the development of coronary heart disease and stroke and premature death from all causes • Population-based studies and clinical experiments providing evidence that physical activity and exercise play a role in the primary and secondary prevention of mild hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity • Contemporary epidemiologic evidence that physical activity reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis and protects against the development of breast and colon cancers, some inflammatory diseases, depression, and anxiety disorders • Considerations in the promotion of a safe, physically active lifestyle among all segments of the population Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, will engage and challenge students by examining the state of current research in all of its variation and even ambiguity. The text details the methodology and findings of classic and contemporary studies and then helps students begin to analyze the results. Special Strength of the Evidence sections found at the end of most chapters summarize the findings to determine the extent to which correlation and causation can be proven. Chapter objectives, chapter summaries, and sidebars in each chapter assist students in focusing on the key points of study, and an extensive glossary with detailed definitions provides a handy reference for review. Instructors will find a new image bank in this edition to enhance their class lecture materials. Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, offers students, sport and exercise scientists, health and fitness professionals, and public health administrators a comprehensive presentation of significant studies, how these studies contribute to understanding the relationship between activity and disease prevention, and how this information can be used in leading individuals, communities, and global society toward increased health and longevity.
