Circuit Resistance Training In Women: Body Composition And Serum Cytokines Levels, Fabiano Candido Ferreira, Alexandra Medeiros, Cristiane Nicioli, João Nunes

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Exercise can generate adjustments on body composition and elicit benefits or downregulation on the immunologic system. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of circuit resistance training (CRT) on fat free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM) and cytokine responses in sedentary women, 39.71 ± 3.8 years old (n=14). The protocol consisted of 3 sessions/week of a circuit training of 9 stations with alternating muscle groups. In each session, the subjects performed the circuit 2 times with one set of 8-12 maximal repetitions (RM) in each station, during 10 weeks. The body composition was analyzed by DXA and, …


Inflammatory, Hematological And Oxidative Stress Responses In 160 To 246 Km Ultramarathons, Taisa Belli, Claudio Alexandre Gobatto Mar 2012

Inflammatory, Hematological And Oxidative Stress Responses In 160 To 246 Km Ultramarathons, Taisa Belli, Claudio Alexandre Gobatto

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Every race with distance higher than marathon is called ultramarathon. There are short ultramarathons, with a distance of 50 to 100km, such as the "Comrade Marathon" in South Africa (89km). On the other hand there are the long ultramarathons ranging from 100 to 1600km. Among these we can highlight the "Western States Endurance Run" (160km) in California/USA; the "Badwater Ultramarathon" (216 km) in California/USA and the "Spartahlon Ultramarathon" (246 km) in Greece. This literature review aimed to verify the inflammatory, hematological and oxidative stress responses particularly induced by these ultramarathons ranging from 160 to 246 km. These races present long …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Physical exercise is known causer of acute traumas in biological structures. Chronically, physical training or can lead to a coherent sequence of traumas leading to Adaptation (Functional Overreaching – FOR) or to an imbalance between stimulus and recovery leading to Overtraining Syndrome (OTS). In the present study we analyzed muscle and hepatic cytokines concentration: Interleukin-6 (IL6), Tumor Necrose Factor-Alpha (TNF-α), Interleukin-1Beta (IL1-β) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10); muscle and serum concentration of glutamate (GLU) and glutamine (GLN); serum concentration of C-reactive Protein (CRP), Alpha-1 Glicoprotein Acid (AGA), Albumin (ALB), Uric Acid (UA), Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP), Creatine Kinase (CK), Red …


Acute Effects Of A Short-Term And High Intensity Exercise On Serum Cytokines Concentrations Of Sedentary Women Submitted To A Circuit Resistance Training, Cristiane Nicioli, João Elias Nunes, Gabriela Bombarda, Fabiano Candido Ferreira Mar 2012

Acute Effects Of A Short-Term And High Intensity Exercise On Serum Cytokines Concentrations Of Sedentary Women Submitted To A Circuit Resistance Training, Cristiane Nicioli, João Elias Nunes, Gabriela Bombarda, Fabiano Candido Ferreira

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of short-term and high intensity exercise on serum cytokines concentrations, oxygen consumption and power of sedentary women pre and post 10 weeks of circuit resistance training (CRT). 14 women, 40.23 ± 3.9 years old, 164 ± 6.6 cm and 57.84 ± 7.7 kg were evaluated. Ventilatory threshold (WVT) and VO2peak (IVO2peak) were determined by ergoespirometric incremental test in a cycloergometer. In pre and post CRT, the women performed a test of cycling exercise with two stages: pedaling 30 minutes on WVT and 5 minutes on IVO2peak. The VO2peak was …
