The Effect Of Carried Loads On The Combative Movement Performance Of Men And Women, Philip E. Martin, Richard C. Nelson Jul 1985

The Effect Of Carried Loads On The Combative Movement Performance Of Men And Women, Philip E. Martin, Richard C. Nelson

Philip E. Martin

This study examined the effect of carrying typical military loads of varying magnitude on the combative movement performance of 16 male and 14 female subjects. The subjects performed a series of tests which included a 25 yard spring, standing long jump, agility run, reaction - movement test, and ladder climb. These tests were performed under five load conditions ranging from a baseline condition (no load) to one of approximately 37 kg. The results from these performance tests constitute valuable information concerning the effects of selected loads on combative movement.


Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Skeletal Muscle Weakness In Human Cancer: Reduced Myosin-Actin Cross-Bridge Formation And Kinetics, Michael Jj. Toth, Mark S. Miller, Damien M. Callahan, Andrew P. Sweeny, Ivette Nunez, Steven M. Grunberg, Hirak Der-Torossian, Marion E. Couch, Kim Dittus Dec 1984

PHYSICAL FUNCTION DETERIORATES substantially following a diagnosis of cancer (3, 48), and patients view this decline as one of the most distressing side effects of the disease, more so than classic side effects such as pain, nausea, and vomiting (13, 60). Functional disability can be the impetus for dose reduction or cessation of anticancer treatments and predicts chemotherapy toxicity and survival (12, 30, 33, 39). Our current understanding of the factors contributing to reduced functional capacity in patients with cancer is, however, severely limited. Physiological changes that occur within the skeletal muscle of patients with cancer can contribute to functional …


Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Density, Gene Expression, And Enzyme Activities In Human Heart Failure: Minimal Effects Of The Disease And Resistance Training, Michael J. Toth, Mark S. Miller, Kimberly A. Ward, Philip A. Ades Dec 1984

Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Density, Gene Expression, And Enzyme Activities In Human Heart Failure: Minimal Effects Of The Disease And Resistance Training, Michael J. Toth, Mark S. Miller, Kimberly A. Ward, Philip A. Ades

Mark S. Miller

IMPAIRED SKELETAL MUSCLE ENERGETICS in heart failure (HF) patients (32) may contribute to physical disability and metabolic dysfunction. Decreased skeletal muscle oxidative capacity (63), secondary to reduced mitochondrial density (12, 13) and/or function (10, 36, 52), may contribute to exercise intolerance, the hallmark symptom of HF. Moreover, as mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with fiber atrophy (7), impaired energetics may reduce physical function by promoting muscle wasting and, in turn, weakness (21). Because mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes (41), alterations in mitochondrial content and/or function could also contribute to the high prevalence of insulin resistance in …


Chronic Heart Failure Reduces Akt Phosphorylation In Human Skeletal Muscle: Relationship To Muscle Size And Function, Michael J. Toth, Kimberly Ward, Jos Van Der Velden, Mark S. Miller, Peter Vanburen, Martin M. Lewinter, Philip A. Ades Dec 1984

Chronic Heart Failure Reduces Akt Phosphorylation In Human Skeletal Muscle: Relationship To Muscle Size And Function, Michael J. Toth, Kimberly Ward, Jos Van Der Velden, Mark S. Miller, Peter Vanburen, Martin M. Lewinter, Philip A. Ades

Mark S. Miller

HEART FAILURE (HF) is the final common pathway for many chronic cardiac diseases and is presently the only cardiac diagnosis continuing to increase in prevalence in the United States. Patients suffering from HF report high rates of physical disability, as defined by an inability to perform simple daily activities (43). Although the reason for their physical disability is unclear, most research has focused on aerobic exercise intolerance in these patients (23). This is logical considering that the hallmark symptom of HF is exertional dyspnea and because of the widespread use of aerobic capacity as a diagnostic tool (36). Diminished aerobic …


Estimation Of Body Density In Adolescent Athletes, W G. Thorland, G O. Johnson, G D. Tharp, T J. Housh, C J. Cisar Jan 1984

Estimation Of Body Density In Adolescent Athletes, W G. Thorland, G O. Johnson, G D. Tharp, T J. Housh, C J. Cisar

Craig J. Cisar

National samples of 141 male and 133 female highly-trained adolescent athletes were studied to derive anthropometric-based equations predicting body density. Anthropometric measures included skinfold thicknesses at seven sites, circum- ferences at 14 sites, and diameters at nine sites. Criterion measures of body density were determined by underwater weighing with corrections for residual lung vol- ume based on the oxygen dilution method. Variable selection procedures included factor analysis followed by forward-stepping regression and polynomial analysis. For both the male and female samples, two quadratic equations utilizing either the sum of three or seven skinfold measures were derived. Within the male sample, …
