Book The Effects of Elastic Variable Resistance Training on Chronic Endocrine Adaptations in Resistance trained Men

Download or read book The Effects of Elastic Variable Resistance Training on Chronic Endocrine Adaptations in Resistance trained Men written by Christopher P. Marang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring individual endocrine responses to exercise allows researchers and practitioners to monitor training-associated stress. While endocrine response to traditional resistance training has been extensively studied, response to variable resistance training remains under-investigated. PURPOSE: to determine if training with elastic variable resistance creates a sustained adaptation by changing the bioavailable concentrations of testosterone and cortisol differently than traditional resistance training. METHODS: Strength trained male athletes (n = 22; 22 ± 3 y; 98.9 ± 18.2 kg; 180.8 ± 7.3 cm) completed a one-repetition maximum (1RM) test on a modified deadlift exercise before a six-week training program. Training consisted of twice-weekly sessions at 90% of 1RM. Training groups consisted of elastomer bands providing variable resistance (VR) vs. isoinertial movement with traditional resistance (TR), using college athletes (CA) and elite athletes (EA). Saliva for immunoassay determination of testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) was collected on the first training session (t1: pre-exercise, t2: 30 minutes post-exercise) and on the last training session (t3: pre-exercise, t4: 30 minutes post-exercise). Hormonal differences were determined via two-way RMANOVA. Effect size (ES) was determined from Cohen’s d. Error rate was set at p

Book Comparing the Acute Effects of Elastic Resistance Bands on Kinetics and Kinematics During the Bench Press Exercise

Download or read book Comparing the Acute Effects of Elastic Resistance Bands on Kinetics and Kinematics During the Bench Press Exercise written by Blake Baxter and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Elastic resistance training is becoming very popular in the strength and conditioning realm and is used at the collegiate and professional levels for various sports. Elastic resistance training has been shown to increase the force, velocity, and power compared to traditional free weight movements. The purpose of this study was to determine if a specific loading condition could increase both kinetic and kinematic variables within a bench press. To test this, two loading conditions (15% and 25% of 1RM) were used and each resistance load was added to a base of 60% of 1RM free weights. Twelve recreationally trained male athletes participated. They were familiarized with the elastic resistance bands before measurements were taken. Each participant performed one set (three repetitions) at each specific intensity level. A GymAware analyzer measured the variables of force, velocity, and power during each full lift. A 2x3 repeated measures ANOVA was used to determine if there was a significant difference in force, velocity, and/or power between groups (p

Book Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy

Download or read book Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy written by Brad J. Schoenfeld and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muscle hypertrophy—defined as an increase in muscular size—is one of the primary outcomes of resistance training. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is a comprehensive compilation of science-based principles to help professionals develop muscle hypertrophy in athletes and clients. With more than 825 references and applied guidelines throughout, no other resource offers a comparable quantity of content solely focused on muscle hypertrophy. Readers will find up-to-date content so they fully understand the science of muscle hypertrophy and its application to designing training programs. Written by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, a leading authority on muscle hypertrophy, this text provides strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, sport scientists, researchers, and exercise science instructors with a definitive resource for information regarding muscle hypertrophy—the mechanism of its development, how the body structurally and hormonally changes when exposed to stress, ways to most effectively design training programs, and current nutrition guidelines for eliciting hypertrophic changes. The full-color book offers several features to make the content accessible to readers: • Research Findings sidebars highlight the aspects of muscle hypertrophy currently being examined to encourage readers to re-evaluate their knowledge and ensure their training practices are up to date. • Practical Applications sidebars outline how to apply the research conclusions for maximal hypertrophic development. • Comprehensive subject and author indexes optimize the book’s utility as a reference tool. • An image bank containing most of the art, photos, and tables from the text allows instructors and presenters to easily teach the material outlined in the book. Although muscle hypertrophy can be attained through a range of training programs, this text allows readers to understand and apply the specific responses and mechanisms that promote optimal muscle hypertrophy in their athletes and clients. It explores how genetic background, age, sex, and other factors have been shown to mediate the hypertrophic response to exercise, affecting both the rate and the total gain in lean muscle mass. Sample programs in the text show how to design a three- or four-day-per-week undulating periodized program and a modified linear periodized program for maximizing muscular development. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is an invaluable resource for strength and conditioning professionals seeking to maximize hypertrophic gains and those searching for the most comprehensive, authoritative, and current research in the field.

  • Publisher : American Diabetes Association
  • Release : 2013-05-30
  • ISBN : 158040507X
  • Pages : 554 pages

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.
