Effects of strength and endurance training on antioxidant enzyme gene expression and activity in middle-aged men

2007

This study was aimed at investigating the effects of a 21-week period of progressive strength or endurance training on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) antioxidant enzyme gene expression and activity in healthy middle-aged untrained men. Strength (n=11) and endurance (n=12) training were performed twice a week, including resistance exercises to activate all the main muscle groups or cycle-ergometer pedaling, respectively. mRNA levels of catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and cytosolic superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) were increased after 21 weeks of strength training, while endurance training induced significant changes only in MnSOD an…

Comunicare con i bambini per promuovere la loro crescita la prospettiva intersoggettiva ed embodied

2020

L'articolo tratta della specificità della relazione adulto-bambino piccolo, soffermandosi sulla prospettiva intersoggettiva alla seconda persona e facendo riferimento alle ultime ricerche neuroscientifiche che confermano il ruolo fondamentale della comunicazione psico-corporea nell'apprendimento e nello sviluppo infantile e l’importanza delle emozioni e degli affetti. Riflette quindi sulla specificità dei percorsi formativi per gli educatori per l’infanzia che, in una tale prospettiva, dovrebbero intrecciare il piano personale e quello professionale centrandosi sull’esperienza e sulla riflessione e l’autoriflessione. In questo senso particolarmente efficaci si rivelano i linguaggi artistico…

Comparison of Game-Related Statistics in Men's International Championships between Winning and Losing Teams according to Margin of Victory

2014

The aims of this study were (i) to compare water polo game-related statistics by game outcome (winning and losing teams) and margins of victory (close games, unbalanced games, and very unbalanced games), and (ii) to identify characteristics that mark the differences in performances for each group of margin of victory. The game-related statistics of the 308 men's matches played in seven International Championships (Olympic Games, World and European Championships) were analysed. A cluster analysis established three groups (close games, unbalanced games, and very unbalanced games) according to the margin of victory. Differences between game outcomes (winning or losing teams) and margins of vic…

Participant characteristics associated with the effects of a physical and cognitive training program on executive functions

2022

Background: Physical and cognitive interventions have been shown to induce positive effects on older adults’ executive functioning. However, since participants with different background characteristics may respond differently to such interventions, we investigated whether training effects on executive functions were associated with sex, training compliance, and age. We also investigated if change in global cognition was associated with physical and cognitive training intervention-induced changes in executive functions. Methods: Exploratory data from a randomized controlled trial were analyzed. Participants were 70–85-year-old men and women who received a 12-month physical (PT) or physical a…

Mental Fatigue Effects on the Produced Perception of Effort and Its Impact on Subsequent Physical Performances.

2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mental fatigue induced by a demanding cognitive task and impaired physical performance in endurance due to a higher perception of effort. A total of 12 healthy adults and volunteers, who had previously practiced endurance activities for 4 to 8 h per week, performed a one-hour cognitive task involving either the process of response inhibition (Stroop task) or not (visualization of a documentary as control task), then 20 min of pedaling on a cycle ergometer at a constant perception of effort while cardio-respiratory and neuromuscular functions were measured. The Stroop task induces subjective feelings of mental fatigue (vig…

Acute and chronic effects of combined endurance and strength training on blood leukocytes in untrained healthy men

Influence of time-of-day-specific same-session combined endurance and strength training on maximal and submaximal endurance parameters

2015

Endurance and strength training are often performed concurrently by both elite athletes and recreational individuals. The question of whether the order of exercises or training at certain daytimes yields to different adaptations in endurance and strength parameters, when endurance and strength training are combined into a single training session, has received limited scientific attention. Moreover, effects on cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular variables after same-session concurrent training have shown conflicting results, particularly regarding exercise sequence or time-of-day characteristics. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of time-of-day-specific same- session…

Neuromuscular adaptations to single-session combined strength and endurance training in untrained men : an examination of the order effect

2013

Understanding the adaptations to single-session combined strength (S) and endurance (E) training has received increased attention in scientific literature through the expand-ing use of combined training programs for practical purposes. However, the intra-session exercise order when performing both E and S in the same training session may limit potential strength development, as the neuromuscular adaptations to either training mode alone are very different. Research on the effect of the intra-session exercise order of combined training on various training-induced adaptations, i.e. the order effect, is currently limited, especially with regard to the neuromuscular adaptations. Therefore, the …

The effects of a 10-week combined strength and endurance training intervention followed by cold water immersion or active recovery

2017

Combined strength and endurance training has been noted to produce significant improvements in strength and endurance performances of men. However, there seems to be moderate inhibitory effect regarding strength adaptations, especially considering power production. The effects of training have been well documented over the years yet very little has been investigated about recovery, even though athletes spend more of their time recovering than they do training. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a 10-week combined strength and endurance training period on muscular performance and 3km time-trial in males with each training session followed by cold water immersion (CWI) or …
