Effects of aquatic and dry land resistance training devices on body composition and physical capacity in postmenopausal women.

2013

Effects of Aquatic and Dry Land Resistance Training Devices on Body Composition and Physical Capacity in Postmenopausal Women To determine the effects of a supervised strength training program on body composition and physical capacity of older women using three different devices: weight machines, elastic bands, and aquatic devices that increase drag forces (ADIDF). Four groups were formed: control group, weight machine group (WMG), elastic band group (EBG) and a group that used ADIDF (ADIDFG). Body composition and physical capacity were assessed before and after the intervention period. The ADIDFG showed improvements in fat mass (FM), fat-free mass of the left arm (FFM-LA) and right arm (FF…

Fat mass accumulation compromises bone adaptation to load in finnish women: A cross-sectional study spanning three generations

2010

Body weight and lean mass correlate with bone mass, but the relationship between fat mass and bone remains elusive. The study population consisted of 396 girls and 138 premenopausal mothers and 114 postmenopausal grandmothers of these girls. Body composition and tibial length were assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and bone traits were determined at the tibia using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) in the girls at the ages of 11.2 ± 0.8, 13.2 ± 0.9, and 18.3 ± 1.0 years and in the mothers (44.7 ± 4.1 years) and grandmothers (70.7 ± 6.3 years). The values of relative bone strength index (RBSI), an index reflecting the ratio of bone strength to the load ap…

Serum metabolic profiles in overweight and obese women with and without metabolic syndrome.

2014

Objective: To identify serum biomarkers through metabolomics approach that distinguishes physically inactive overweight/obese women with metabolic syndrome from those who are metabolically healthy, independent of body weight and fat mass. Methods: We applied nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based profiling of fasting serum samples to examine the metabolic differences between 78 previously physically inactive, body weight and fat mass matched overweight/obese premenopausal women with and without MetS. MetS was defined as the presence of at least three of the following five criteria: waist circumference ≥ 88 cm, serum triacylglycerol ≥ 1.7 mmol/L, and high density lipoprotein cholester…

The effects of protein and carbohydrate supplementation on body composition and muscle strength during resistance training

2015

Johdanto. Lihavuudesta on tullut maailmanlaajuinen epidemia, ja sen liitännäissairaudet ovat suuri huolenaihe. Voimaharjoittelun ja ravitsemuksen tiedetään muokkaavan tehokkaasti kehon koostumusta. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää miten proteiini ja hiilihydraatti yhdistettynä voimaharjoitteluun vaikuttavat kehon koostumukseen sekä voimaan. Menetelmät. Tutkimukseen osallistui 78 miestä (ikä 34.7 ± 1.4, pituus 179.9 ± 0.77 cm, paino 83.6 ± 1.4 kg), jotka eivät olleet tottuneet voimaharjoitteluun. Tutkimus sisälsi kokonaisuudessaan 16 viikkoa voimaharjoittelua, joista ensimmäiset neljä viikkoa sisälsivät kaikilla kestovoiman harjoittelua. Tämän perehdyttämisjakson jälkeen koehenk…

Changes in Body Composition, Energy Metabolites and Electrolytes During Winter Survival Training in Male Soldiers

2022

The aim of this study was to examine changes in body composition, energy metabolites and electrolytes during a 10-day winter survival training period. Two groups of male soldiers were examined: the REC group (n = 26; age 19.7 ± 1.2 years; BMI 23.9 ± 2.7) had recovery period between days 6 and 8 in the survival training, whereas the EXC group (n = 42; age 19.6 ± 0.8 years; BMI 23.1 ± 2.8) did not. The following data were collected: body composition (bioimpedance), energy balance (food diaries, heart rate variability measurements), and biomarkers (blood samples). In survival training, estimated energy balance was highly negative: −4,323 ± 1,515 kcal/d (EXC) and −4,635 ± 1,742 kcal/d (REC). Be…
