ABSTRACT Resistance training is a valuable exercise modality but few tools exist to aid practitioners in refining resistance exercise prescriptions. PURPOSE: To determine if a relationship exists between strength and selected body composition variables measured by DEXA; and if so, develop equations which predict total body and regional strength. METHODS: Sixty-eight subjects (Male n = 34, Age = 35±11.96yrs, Height = 181.54±6.76cm, Weight = 97.82±16.68kg, Body Fat = 31.24±8.12% | Female n = 34, Age = 37±12.6yrs, Height = 165.41±5.64cm, Weight = 80.55±18.48kg, Body Fat = 43.00±10.16%) underwent DEXA body composition testing and maximal strength testing utilizing Keiser® pneumatic resistance …

The study of ergogenic aids and their influence results in many uncertainties that have yet to be answered or explained. There is speculation about the effectiveness of Tribulus terrestris (TT) as an ergogenic aid and its effectiveness for increasing power and strength. Little research has been completed to monitor its effects on cholesterol and blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of TT on muscular strength, blood pressure, and cholesterol in a sedentary population. Eighteen males (18 - 24 yrs,) were randomly assigned using a double-blind protocol into either TT group (n=9) or placebo (n=9), …
