Relationship Between Muscular Performance Changes And Increases In Body Mass During Overfeeding Plus Resistance Training, Christian Rodriguez, Robert W. Smith, Matthew T. Stratton, Patrick S. Harty, Baylor A. Johnson, Jacob R. Dellinger, Marqui L. Benavides, Bradley Vincent, Abegale D. Williams, Sarah J. White, Grant M. Tinsley

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Two critical components of muscular performance are muscular strength (e.g., the maximal load that can be lifted for a given exercise) and muscular endurance (e.g., the maximal number of repetitions that can be performed at a given load). When seeking improvements in muscular performance, it is common to employ nutritional strategies that create an energy surplus and a resultant gain in body mass. Varying rates of body mass gain are often prescribed to optimize training adaptations, including improvements in muscular performance; however, the relationship between rate of body mass gain and muscular performance improvements, if any, is not entirely clear. …

Sex-Related Differences In Maximal And Rapid Hamstrings To Quadriceps Strength Capacities, Ethan A. Mitchell, Chinonye C. Agu-Udemba, Ahalee C. Farrow, Ty B. Palmer

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The balance between leg flexor and extensor strength, which is typically assessed using the hamstrings to quadriceps (H/Q) strength ratio, has been implicated as an important factor in the kneejoint stability of younger populations. Sex differences in hamstrings and quadriceps maximal and rapid strength are commonly reported between young men and women; however, few studies have investigated the influence of sex on maximal and rapid strength H/Q ratios. PURPOSE: To examine sex-related differences in maximal and rapid strength H/Q ratios between college-aged men and women. METHODS: Ten physically-active men (age = 23 ± 3 years; height = 177 …

Relationship Between Rate And Composition Of Mass Gain During Overfeeding Plus Resistance Training, Robert W. Smith, Patrick S. Harty, Matthew T. Stratton, Jacob Dellinger, Marqui Benavides, Baylor A. Johnson, Abegale D. Williams, Sarah White, Christian Rodriguez, Bradley Vincent, Grant M. Tinsley

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

A common goal among athletes is to gain additional body mass (BM), particularly fat-free mass (FFM), in order to improve muscle strength, power, and overall performance. Athletes typically undergo BM accretion over a specific period of time in conjunction with high-volume resistance training (RT) in order to preferentially gain FFM and promote concomitant muscular performance improvements. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the rate of BM gain and the proportion of BM gained as FFM versus fat mass (FM) during a 6-week period of overfeeding and resistance training. METHODS: 21 resistance-trained males …

Influence Of Acute Water Ingestion On Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Estimates Of Body Composition, Jacob R. Dellinger, Baylor A. Johnson, Matthew T. Stratton, Patrick S. Harty, Marqui Benavides, Sarah White, Abegale D. Williams, Robert W. Smith, Grant M. Tinsley

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Body composition estimation is a significant component of health and fitness assessments. Multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MFBIA) uses multiple electrical frequencies that travel through body tissues in order to estimate fluid content and body composition. Prior to body composition assessments, it is common to implement a wet fast (i.e., a fasting period that allows water intake); however, the influence of a wet fast as compared to a dry fast (i.e., disallowing water intake) is relatively unknown. PURPOSE: To determine the effects of acute water consumption on MFBIA body composition estimates. METHODS: A randomized crossover study was conducted in …

Agreement Between 4-Compartment Model And 7-Site Ultrasonography For Tracking Weight Training-Induced Changes In Body Composition, Abegale D. Williams, Grant M. Tinsley, Matthew T. Stratton, Patrick S. Harty, Marqui Benavides, Sarah White, Baylor A. Johnson, Robert W. Smith, Jacob Dellinger, Christian Rodriguez

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Tracking body composition changes provides valuable information in a variety of contexts, including aging, disease, and lifestyle interventions. The 4-Compartment (4C) model is widely accepted as a criterion molecular-level method for evaluating body composition by integrating data from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), air displacement plethysmography (ADP), and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS). Ultrasonography (US) is another method of body composition estimation that evaluates subcutaneous adipose tissue at various body sites. PURPOSE: To evaluate the agreement between body composition changes detected by a molecular-level 4C model and a 7-site skinfold thickness-based US method in response to weight training and a hypercaloric diet. …

Tracking Resistance Training-Induced Changes In Body Composition Via 3-Dimensional Optical Scanning, Sarah J. White, Patrick S. Harty, Matthew T. Stratton, Jacob R. Dellinger, Baylor A. Johnson, Robert W. Smith, Abegale D. Williams, Marqui L. Benavides, Grant M. Tinsley

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Tracking changes in body composition is potentially useful for monitoring health status, disease risk, and results of lifestyle interventions. In active individuals, evaluating body composition changes over time may provide useful information regarding the effectiveness of nutrition and exercise programs. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare changes in body composition estimates obtained from a 4-compartment (4C) model and a 3-dimensional optical (3DO) scanner in resistance-trained males. METHODS: Twenty resistance-trained males underwent assessments via 4C and 3DO before and after 6 weeks of supervised resistance training plus overfeeding with a high-calorie protein/carbohydrate supplement. To generate the …

Age-Related Differences In Forearm Muscle Size And Handgrip Maximal And Rapid Force Characteristics, Chinonye C. Agu-Udemba, Ethan Mitchell, Ahalee C. Cathey, Ty B. Palmer

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

With handgrip strength being an important predictor of future disability and mortality, it is essential to expand our understanding of the age-related changes in handgrip strength characteristics and their underlying mechanisms. Previous studies have reported that decreases in muscle size of the forearm may contribute to age-related deficits in wrist flexion strength. However, we are aware of no previous studies that have examined the contribution of forearm muscle size to age-related differences in handgrip strength, and more specifically, the age-related differences in handgrip maximal and rapid force characteristics. PURPOSE: To determine the effects of age on forearm muscle size …

Evaluation Of Fat-Free Mass Characteristics At Different Adiposity Levels: Impact Of Weight Status Stratification Method, Samantha V. Narvaez, Cherilyn N. Mclester, John R. Mclester, Kyung-Shin Park, Brett Nickerson

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The method used to stratify weight status when evaluating fat-free mass (FFM) characteristics has primarily been based upon body mass index (BMI) and not body fat percent (BF%). As a result, it is unknown whether deviations in FFM characteristics are similar when stratifying weight status based upon BMI or BF%. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate FFM characteristics at different adiposity levels when stratifying weight status via BMI and BF%. Methods: 150 adults (50% males) participated in this study. 3-compartment (3C) model body composition was based upon body density (D_b) via air displacement plethysmography (ADP) …
