Hypertension is a chronic disease characterized by increased blood pressure within the vasculature. Hypertension affects millions of people and is one of the most significant predictors of cardiovascular disease leading to death. Management of hypertension occurs through weight loss, increased exercise, quitting smoking, and medication use. Another management is the intake of selected bioactives composed […]
Unlike street running, treadmill running has no air resistance. This has consequences on thermoregulation and energy cost. Air movement over the body aids convective heat loss and may reduce heart rate as the demand for peripheral blood flow is reduced. To compensate, electric fans are often used in laboratories; The fan helps convective heat loss, […]
Creatine plays an important role in rapidly providing energy during muscle contraction. In addition to being responsible for the transfer of energy from mitochondria to cellular cytosol, this function is only possible due to the presence of different phosphocreatine isoforms linked to ATP generation. The study investigated creatine supplementation in response to fatigue and muscle […]
side 1: the effects of concurrent training on neuromuscular performance. When aerobic exercise consists of running, interference is more pronounced compared to cycling. The authors speculate that it is due to the important eccentric phase involved in running, potentially increasing muscle damage and reducing strength and power adaptations. Acute and chronic hypotheses are suggested to […]
The coffee drinking habit has been used for a long time all over the world and consequently its effect on health has been of interest. Some of its components such as minerals and polyphenols have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that may benefit human health. The study had 903 elderly, 511 women and 392 men, where […]
Pregnancy is the only period in life when a woman changes her life behaviors, including physical activity, which can affect her and the fetus’ health. One of the benefits of pregnancy training is improved physical capacity, mental health, decreased risk of chronic disease and mortality. It is recommended that 150 minutes of physical activity be […]
Functional capacity shows a decline with the senescence process (aging), reaching a reduction greater than 40% between 60 to 90 years of age, this decline may be associated with many factors, such as decreased strength, power and muscle mass. These declines are associated with increased risk of falls and fractures, decreasing quality of life and […]
Obesity and metabolic syndrome have been identified as a primary risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis. Metabolic osteoarthritis is associated with a large visceral fat deposit that releases inflammatory cytokines and adipokines into the circulation, resulting in low-grade inflammation. The study was conducted with rats for 12 weeks, where they ate a high […]
