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 …

Examining The Effect Of Exogenous Ketone Supplement On Indices Of Peripheral Vascular Health/Function, John Kolade, Alison Ortiz, Prarthi Shah, Ken Perry, R. Matthew Brothers
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the US and worldwide. The risk for and prevalence of CVD are elevated by various factors including impaired micro- and macrovascular function. Associated mechanisms are multifactorial but are related to elevated oxidative stress and/or inflammation which contribute to reduced nitric oxide bioavailability and ultimately vasodilatory reactivity. Ketogenic diets, commonly used as a strategy to lose weight and improve health, have been reported to improve mitochondria function, as well as antioxidant and inflammatory status. To the best of our knowledge, the effects on vascular function are less understood. PURPOSE: This …

Running Economy Benefits Of Advanced Footwear Technology Are Similar For Treadmill And Overground Running, Logan Hayden, Garrett Oehlert, Dustin P. Joubert
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Running economy (RE) is a key marker of distance running performance, as it indicates the oxygen cost required to run at a given speed. Multiple laboratory studies on treadmills have shown that new advanced footwear technology (AFT) improves RE. However, no studies have quantified the benefit of AFT in overground running. PURPOSE: Determine the impact of running surface (treadmill vs. overground) on the RE benefits of AFT. METHODS: Seventeen trained runners (9 male, < 17:30 5k; 8 female, < 20:20 5k) reported for two separate visits, which included one session on a stiff treadmill indoors and one session overground on a concrete path outdoors. Each visit, subjects completed 4 × 5-minute trials at 16 km·hr-1 (male) and 14 km·hr-1 (female) wearing both an advanced shoe (AFT) and a control shoe (CTRL). Test speeds were below the runners’ estimated lactate threshold …

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 …

Does Rinsing Out Your Mouth With A Carbohydrate Drink Before Exercising, As Well As Oral Vs. Nasal Breathing Have An Effect On The Rer?, Jacob A. Clemons, Edward Merritt
Does Rinsing Out Your Mouth With A Carbohydrate Drink Before Exercising, As Well As Oral Vs. Nasal Breathing Have An Effect On The Rer?, Jacob A. Clemons, Edward Merritt
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
The Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER) is a commonly used indicator of the body’s metabolism in exercise studies. The RER is defined as the ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed and is used to estimate carbohydrate and fat oxidation in the body. An RER of 0.7 is indicative of fat breakdown with an RER of 1.0 indicative of high rates of carbohydrate metabolism. During steady-state exercise, the RER is thought to be a reliable indicator of whole-body metabolic demand, however, the introduction of carbohydrates to the mouth might have an immediate effect on the RER, affecting the reliability of …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Unilateral resistance training (RT) has been shown to induce contralateral strength improvements in the untrained homologous muscle. Notably, low-load blood flow restriction (BFR) RT has shown superior increases in muscle strength and hypertrophy compared to low-load non-BFR RT. Previous literature has also reported that BFR RT has systemic cross-transfer effects of strength on other active skeletal muscles compared to low-load non-BFR RT. PURPOSE: Therefore, the purpose was to examine the cross-transfer effects of 4 weeks of unilateral BFR dorsiflexion RT on muscle strength, hypertrophy, and muscle quality.

A Contralateral Comparison Of Beta-Band Oscillations In The Motor Cortex Following Blood Flow Restriction Training, Sierra M. Washington, Kase J. Pennartz, Adam C. Avalos, Calvin D. Smith, Lindsay K. Rankin, Isabella E. Zapata, Jordyn M. Watson, Dakota R. Harris, Joshua L. Keller, Amber L. Harris Bozer, Micheal J. Luera
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Contralateral adaptations following unilateral training is commonly associated with the cross-education phenomena. Identifying the contributions to peripheral activation of voluntary muscle contractions can be represented in Beta-band (13-30Hz) oscillations within the human motor cortex. These individualistic electrophysiological changes may display potential hemispheric differences that contribute to skeletal muscle activation patterns following single limb training common in rehabilitation settings. PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to compare the responses of beta-band mean power frequency (MPF) in the motor cortex during varying isometric contraction intensities after blood flow restriction training. METHODS: 13 untrained males (age: 21.7 ± 1.7yrs; height: …

Gastrocnemius Mass Is Lower 28 Days After Recovery From A Cycle Of Cisplatin In Mice, Marc Magaña, Jaden Wells, Carla Nascimento, Cory Dungan, Michael P. Wiggs
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin, are widely employed as a primary treatment modality for various cancer types. Despite their efficacy, cisplatin's mechanism of action involves inducing DNA damage in cells, leading to pronounced acute and long-term side effects. One well established side effect is rapid loss in muscle mass. However, very little is known about the long-term effects of chemotherapy treatment on muscle size. PURPOSE: of this study was to analyze the long-term effects of cisplatin on muscle mass recovery. We hypothesized that cisplatin would have a negative long-term effect on muscle recovery. METHODS: 5-6 month-old CD2F1 mice …

Short-Term Cd8+ T Cell Depletion Results In Blunted Liver Inflammation In Old Mice, Konner J. Terrebonne, David J. Buckley, Blessy Joseph, Sunita Sharma, Daniel W. Trott
Short-Term Cd8+ T Cell Depletion Results In Blunted Liver Inflammation In Old Mice, Konner J. Terrebonne, David J. Buckley, Blessy Joseph, Sunita Sharma, Daniel W. Trott
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Advanced age is associated with an increase in basal inflammation of the organs. Previously we have found that T cells accumulate in the liver of old mice. A large proportion of these cells are CD8+ and produce inflammatory cytokines. We have previously demonstrated that CD8+ T cell depletion results in improved glucose tolerance in old mice. However, the mechanisms by which CD8+ depletion improves glucose tolerance is unclear. Therefore, we sought to determine whether pharmacologic CD8+ depletion would result in decreased liver specific inflammation in old mice compared to their old CD8+ intact counterparts. PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis …

Differences In Skeletal Muscle Oxygenation Of Vastus Laterals And Gastrocnemius During Exhaustive Exercise, Kaitlyn Gingell, Ricardo Torres, Jordan Ledington, Leroy Bolden, Tomas Chapman-Lopez, Dylan Willburn, Meena Meiyyappan, Adam Crone, Panagiotis Koutakis, Jeff S. Forsse
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 Max) is utilized to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and performance in various populations. Although VO2max is the gold standard for assessing aerobic performance and CRF, the accessibility, time, and cost are limiting factors for frequent evaluation. Recently, skeletal muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) has been utilized to characterize the amount of oxygen available in skeletal muscle tissue and the efficiency of oxygen uptake and to serve as an alternative metric to assess CRF. However, minimal research has been conducted to observe the difference in SmO2 location placement between the vastus laterals (VL) and gastrocnemius (GS) during exhaustive …

The Effects Of Different Prolonged Aerobic Exercise Modalities On Physiological Components Of Cardiovascular Drift, Ricardo Torres, Leroy Bolden, Tomas Chapman-Lopez, Jordan Ledington, Meena Meiyyappan, Kaitlyn Gingell, Adam Crone, Brian Leutholtz, Jeff S. Forsse
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Cardiovascular Drift (CD) is a physiological phenomenon in which heart rate and VO2 increase in order to maintain cardiac output as the exercise intensity remains the same. Current understanding of CD indicates that CD is caused by a loss of fluids in combination with a reduced ventricular filling time. Different exercise modalities, such as steady state exercise (SSE) and high intensity interval exercise (HIIE) stress the cardiovascular system differently and cause different adaptations. Currently, no research has been conducted observing components (VO2, HR, and RER) of CD in SSE and HIIE. PURPOSE: To determine if HIIE or SSE alters …

The Effect Of Menstrual Phases On Salivary Markers Of Stress And Body Composition, Josey Walker, Nathan Sutton, Matthew J. Mcallister
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Women have been historically excluded in physiology research due to the assumption that the menstrual cycles influence physiological biomarkers. Research has shown that cortisol concentrations are higher during the follicular phase compared to the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. In addition, morning cortisol concentrations have been shown to be significantly higher in the morning compared to evening. However, salivary a-amylase (sAA) and secretory immunoglobin-A (SIg-A) have not been researched across the menstrual cycle. sAA is an indicator of sympathetic nervous system activation and is sensitive to acute stress. SIg-A is an antibody that is also an indicator of chronic …

Mental toughness (MT), a psychological construct, is pivotal in achieving peak athletic performance. The literature on MT, predominantly observational in nature, remains notably limited within the realm of dance. PURPOSE: To understand the impact of an MT intervention on dancers by examining score changes over time and identifying distinct response patterns through clustering. METHODS: Female athletes (N = 39; Mage = 19.86, SD = 1.21) participated in a structured intervention designed to enhance MT, with scores collected before the intervention, after, and at a 6-week follow-up. MT scores were collected using the Mental Toughness Index …

Sport performance is influenced by sport-specific requirements for body composition. One major predictor of body composition is protein intake. Higher protein intake tends to cause leaner body composition relative to lower protein intake, especially during caloric deficit. In Bexar County, ~72% of the adult population is overweight/obese and 15.5% are diabetic. This suggests that high protein diet could be a high leverage option in the San Antonio population for optimizing body composition for sport performance. Furthermore, late life sporting activity and protein intake is a primary method for mitigating sarcopenia, osteoporosis, fractures, and accidental death in post-menopausal women. PURPOSE: …
