International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Dehydration may alter the ratio between the extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular water (ICW). Nevertheless, it is unknown whether the ratio between ECW and ICW following resistance exercise (RE) is affected by dehydration. PURPOSE: To determine the effect of dehydration on fluids shift after heavy RE. METHODS: 13 resistance-trained men (age: 21±2years; height: 176.4±6.0cm; weight: 79.5±11.5kg) completed a heavy RE consisting of bilateral leg press and knee extension exercises (5 x 10 at 80% of 1 repetition maximum with 2-mins rest between sets & exercises) either under a hydrated (HS; urine specific gravity [USG] < 1.020) or a dehydrated state (DS; USG ≥ 1.020; 24-hour fluid restriction). The two conditions were separated by two weeks. The ratio of ICW/ECW and total body water (TBW) were measured before (PRE), 1 hour (1H), and 3H after RE using bioelectrical impedance spectroscope (BIS). Additionally, vastus lateralis muscle samples were collected at PRE, 1H, and 3H via muscle biopsy. Muscle samples were weighed (Wt) before (Wet) and after (Dry) heating at 80°C for 55 minutes. For BIS parameters, values were normalized to each participant's HS PRE value. For muscle Wt, percent changes from Dry to Wet were calculated. Repeated measures ANOVAs were used to identify the differences. RESULTS: A significant …

Micronized Biocompatible Ceramic Promotes Muscle Derived Il-6 Release In Disuse, Jacob Kendra, Shadi Golpasandi, Alexandra Naman, Mariam Othman, Joo Kim, Rachel Rauth, Khaled Moustafa, John Lawler, Aaron Morton

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Skeletal muscle is remarkably plastic and undergoes significant muscle wasting in response to mechanical unloading. Chronic bedrest and microgravity conditions promote disuse-induced muscle atrophy and dysfunctional myogenesis. While these pathological effects have been well documented, there are currently no effective therapies to remedy this muscle loss. Time-release ion matrices (TRIM) are amorphous non-crystalline biomaterials that promote regenerative gene transcription when injected in soft tissue. However, the detailed pathways involved in TRIM activated regeneration of skeletal muscle are unexplored. Degenerative and regenerative inflammation are key processes in regeneration. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle inflammation in response …

Release Of Microrna15a/16 From Skeletal Muscle During Exercise Regulates Proteostasis In Muscle And Cancer, Patrick Ryan, Selina Uranga, James D. Fluckey

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Proteostasis, the intricate process of maintaining the proteome, is a critical matter for cellular health. The regulation of the multiple intersecting metabolic pathways comprising the proteostatic network is correspondingly complex and incompletely understood; however, a new and intriguing candidate in understanding this process has emerged in the form of microRNA (miRNA), small RNA species which are capable of regulating hundreds of genes at once by binding to and degrading mRNA transcripts. We have previously shown that muscle contraction results in the release of two miRNA species (miR15a/16) from skeletal muscles, and that a perfusate rich in these miRNAs slows growth …

Assessing Dual Task Gait Asymmetries In Older Adults Using Wireless Instrumented Shoe Insoles, Madison M. Treece, Jennifer M. Yentes, Sofie De Wandel, Minchae C. Kang, Marielle P.K.J. Engelen, Nicolaas E. Deutz, Andrew D. Nordin

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Gait asymmetries have been suggested to be indicators of pathology. Walking while simultaneously completing a secondary cognitive task, or dual task, has been found to alter gait parameters such as stride time and stride length in aging populations. Gait asymmetries are commonly exacerbated in older adults under dual task conditions as attention is diverted away from walking. Although clinically relevant, assessing gait biomechanics outside of traditional laboratory settings can be challenging, but is possible using lightweight wireless sensors. PURPOSE: Our aim was to assess the influence of a cognitive load on gait asymmetries in older adults using wireless instrumented …

Effects Of Continuous Aerobic Exercise On Skeletal Muscle Atrophy Induced By Heart Failure, Carolina Tonon, Bertha F. Polegato, Quinten Pigg, Dillon Harris, Aaron Garcia, Daniela S. Inoue, Mariana Janini Gomes

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Heart failure is a common and severe disease that worsens morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. One of the clinical manifestations of heart failure is peripheral muscular atrophy, whose presence impacts the prognosis of heart failure patients. Inflammation is one of the main mechanisms related to muscle atrophy. We hypothesized that inflammation, through excessive activation of the Nlrp3 inflammasome, would be tightly associated with skeletal muscle atrophy induced by heart failure. Additionally, aerobic exercise, well known for its anti-inflammatory action, would counteract this condition in a rat model of heart failure. PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the effects of continuous …

Validity Of Body Volume Estimates From A Smartphone 3-Dimensional Scanning Application, Ethan G. Tinoco, Christian Rodriguez, Madelin R. Siedler, Christian Lavalle, Christine M. Florez, Sarah White, Alexandra Brojanac, Jaylynn Rasco, Gabrielle Dehaven, Grant M. Tinsley

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Body volume (BV) indicates the total 3-dimensional (3D) space an individual occupies. BV is either used alongside body mass in density-based two-compartment models or in conjunction with other body components in multi-compartment models to estimate body composition (BC). BV estimates are typically produced by costly laboratory methods, such as hydrostatic weighing or air-displacement plethysmography (ADP). However, more accessible options are emerging. Smartphone-based 3D scanning uses the phone’s built-in camera to provide a BV estimate in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner. However, few investigations have validated this method against an accepted laboratory technique. PURPOSE: To determine the validity of BV from …

Validation Of A Non-Invasive Physiological Stress Assessment: Agreement Of Salivary And Blood Cortisol Among Firefighters, Caiti Dodge, Hunter Martaindale, Steven E. Martin, Lisa C. Colvin, Drew E. Gonzalez, Matthew J. Mcallister

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Salivary cortisol has been used as an indicator of stress exposure among tactical personnel (i.e., firefighters). Assessing cortisol concentrations, whether via blood or saliva samples, can provide valuable insight into the physiological stress load placed upon the firefighter. Cortisol levels provide a reflection of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. Salivary cortisol is unbound and has been suggested to provide a better reflection of HPA axis activity compared to blood cortisol, which is bound to soluble corticosteroid-binding globulin. Importantly, the use of salivary biosample collection also offers a more practical and non-invasive method to assess physiological stress biomarkers when blood sample …

Sleep Duration Is Increased Following Muscle Damaging Exercise In Hot Environmental Conditions, Marcos Keefe, Ryan A. Dunn, Casey R. Appell, Nigel C. Jiwan, Jan-Joseph S. Rolloque, Hui-Ying Luk, Yasuki Sekiguchi

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Sleep and recovery measures are typically negatively affected by a muscle-damaging bout of exercise. However, it remains unknown if the additive effects of hot environmental conditions, resulting in increased core temperature and other thermoregulatory responses during the exercise bout, further progress changes in quantity and performance quality of sleep duration. PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of muscle-damaging exercise in the heat, compared to a thermoneutral condition, on sleep and recovery measures. METHODS: Ten healthy males (age: 23 ± 3yr; body mass: 78.7 ± 11.5kg; height: 176.9 ± 5cm; lactate threshold [LT]: 9.7 ± 1.0km.hr-1) performed two …
