The Effect Of Capsaicin On Peak Force And Rate Of Force Developement In Resistance-Trained Men - A Pilot Study, Jalyn Dunlap, Nigel Jiwan, Casey Appell, Andrew Schindel, Jon Berrios, Savannah Adjetey, Mia Uriegas, Hui-Ying Luk
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Capsaicin (CAP) is a robust stimulator of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), which promotes calcium (Ca2+) efflux from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and can potentiate cross-bridge formation that has the potential to affect peak force and rate of force development (RFD). However, its effect on overall lower body strength is limited. PURPOSE: To determine the effect of acute CAP consumption on peak force and RFD in resistance-trained men. METHODS: Resistance-trained men (n=5; age: 22±2years, mass: 80.9±11.9kg; height: 177.3±6.6cm) were supplemented either with 2.4mg of CAP or placebo (PL; microcrystalline cellulose). Prior to (PRE) and 45 minutes …

Enhancing Oxygen Uptake Efficiency Through Nasal Breathing In Aerobic Exercise, Kylie Allen, Jose M. Moris, Ryan Curtis, Christian J. Chang, Brandon Arnold, Yunsuk Koh
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
An individual’s ability to use oxygen to sustain aerobic performance, as denoted by the oxygen uptake efficiency (OUE), is calculated by dividing oxygen uptake (VO2) by ventilation (VE). Whether nasal breathing (NB) during exercise would improve OUE more significantly compared to combined breathing (CB) remains uncertain. PURPOSE: To determine the effects of utilizing NB during exercise on OUE. METHODS: Fourteen males (age: 20.57 ± 1.22 yrs; BMI: 26.03 ± 3.16 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to the NB (n = 8) or CB (n = 6) group for a 4-week supervised aerobic exercise intervention conducted four times …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Nasal breathing (NB) during aerobic exercise has gained attention due to its potential benefits to physical performance and health adaptations. However, it is unclear how an NB-induced increase in the partial pressure of CO2 (PetCO2) affects the enzymatic activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPX). PURPOSE: To determine the activity of GPX after 1-month of transient hypercapnic training induced by NB. METHODS: Fourteen males (age = 20.57 ± 1.22 yrs) were randomized to either the NB (n = 8) or combined breathing (CB, n = 6) group. Participants performed supervised aerobic training 4 times per week at ~70% …

Exercise Training With Nasal Breathing Increased Forced Expiratory Volume, Brandon W. Arnold, Jose M. Moris, Christian J. Chang, Ryan Curtis, Kylie Allen, Yunsuk Koh
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Forced vital capacity (FVC) and its two components [forced expiratory volume during the first second (FEV1.0) and peak expiratory flow (PEF)] denote lung function and can be affected by respiratory compliance. Performing an aerobic exercise with nasal breathing (NB) could be beneficial to elicit more significant FVC improvements compared to combined breathing (CB). PURPOSE: To determine if four weeks of aerobic training with NB could improve FVC more than CB. METHODS: Fourteen young males (age = 20.57 ± 1.22 yrs and BMI = 26.03 ± 3.16 kg/m2) participated in the 4-week supervised exercise intervention, consisting of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The Association And Ability Of Mental Toughness To Predict Cardiorespiratory Fitness In The General Population: A Pilot Study, Adam Crone, Tomas Chapman-Lopez, Ricardo Torres, Meena Meiyyappan, Leroy Bolden, Andreas Stamatis Dr., Jeff S. Forsse
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Mental toughness (MT) is associated with performative contexts as the defining attribute that enables individuals to thrive in demanding situations. MT has been linked to varying physiological outcomes in various populations. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is likewise associated with health and performance outcomes; thereby, assessing CRF remains a vital metric for assessing aerobic performance. What remains unexplored is the relationship between MT and CFT and whether MT can be used as an additional metric to determine CRF. PURPOSE: To determine if MT scores are able to predict CRF levels as indicated by VO2 values. METHODS: Fifty individuals (n = 50, Males …

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 …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
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: …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies in the world due to various factors (e.g., lack of sun exposure, dietary considerations). Currently the utilization of exercise may act as an intervention for VD deficiencies to promote increases in VD concentrations in healthy populations. This could largely be due to the loss of calcium from aerobic exercise (AE), leading to a hormonal response [(e.g., parathyroid hormone (PTH)] and the activation of cytochrome’s (e.g., CYP2R1, CYP27B1) responsible for the regulation of VD. Thus, AE may serve as an intervention to promote VD synthesis due to the impacted biological …
No Effect Of Curcumin Supplementation On Inflammatory Response To Resistance Exercise In Resistance-Trained Young Women, Nicholas Lopez, Patrick Schunk, Lydia K. Caldwell, Sarah Deemer
No Effect Of Curcumin Supplementation On Inflammatory Response To Resistance Exercise In Resistance-Trained Young Women, Nicholas Lopez, Patrick Schunk, Lydia K. Caldwell, Sarah Deemer
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
INTRODUCTION: Resistance exercise can often lead to muscle damage and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The discomfort associated with these side effects could affect training frequency and intensity and thus optimal chronic adaptation. Further, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to counteract DOMS may affect muscle adaptation responses. However, curcumin (CUR), a polyphenol found in the spice turmeric, has been shown to attenuate these undesirable effects through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. PURPOSE: To determine the effect of 8 days (400 mg/d) of a commercially available CUR supplement on muscle soreness and inflammation following fatiguing back squat exercise in resistance-trained …

Effects Of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation On Glycemic Control In A Hyperglycemic Population, Irene John Tomy, Jehu Apaflo, Victoria Rocha, Gabriel Narvaez, Joshua Labadah, Ulices Villalobos, Sudip Bajpeyi
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Hyperglycemia in people with prediabetes and diabetes, if left untreated, can cause serious health conditions and may lead to a diabetic coma. Muscle contraction through conventional exercise is known to increase glucose uptake in cells, thereby decreasing blood glucose levels. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an innovative approach to contract skeletal muscle involuntarily. Whereas exercise is widely recommended for hyperglycemia management, it is not known whether NMES can be used as an alternative strategy to improve glycemic control. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of NMES for muscle contraction can improve glycemic control …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) prediction equations are often used in settings where the measurement of RMR through indirect calorimetry (IC) may not be feasible. However, commonly used equations developed in less active populations may not accurately predict RMR in active individuals who have a higher proportion of lean tissue. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of RMR prediction equations by Harris & Benedict (1918), Cunningham (1980 and 1991), DeLorenzo (1999), and ten Haaf & Weijs (2014) against a criterion model (IC) in a population of active women. METHODS: Forty-one generally healthy women were …

Sleep is essential for optimal physical performance, cognitive function, recovery, and overall health. Similarly, hydration status has been shown to influence physical and cognitive functions. Dehydration can lead to impaired cognition and possibly impaired sleep. However, the effect of habitual total water intake (TWI) on sleep and recovery measures have not been examined. PURPOSE: To examine the effect of TWI on sleep and recovery measures in young women. METHODS: Twenty-two young women (age: 22.8±4.6 yrs; body mass: 60.0±9.5 kg; height: 164.6±6.1 cm) collected fluid intake and food consumption information across a 5 day period, and average TWI was calculated based …

Early onset colorectal cancer incidence has increased significantly. Evidence links serum 25(OH)D levels and the gut microbiome to colon carcinogenesis, with vitamin D pivotal in modulating the immune system and intestinal epithelial function. The effect of supplemental vitamin D3 on the gut microbiome in healthy adults is unclear. PURPOSE: Investigate the effect of a 12-week oral dose of 4000 IU vitamin D3 on acute and long-term gut microbiome changes in healthy adults. METHODS: Forty-three participants, aged 18-53, were randomized based on baseline serum 25(OH)D levels into treatment (n=21) and placebo groups (n=22). Fecal samples …

Thirst sensation is an important stimulus for drinking behavior; however, the effect of thirst sensation on later hydration status remains unclear. PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of morning thirst on afternoon hydration status. METHODS: Twelve men (mean ± standard deviation; age: 21 ± 2 years; mass: 81.0 ± 15.9 kg) and twelve women (age: 22 ± 3 years; mass: 68.8 ± 15.2 kg) visited the laboratory in the morning (first morning) and afternoon (2:00-4:00pm) for three consecutive days under a free-living condition. At each visit, participants provided a urine sample where urine indices were analyzed (urine specific gravity [USG], urine …

Sedentary lifestyles have been shown to be highly associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, insulin resistance, and increased adiposity. While both sitting and standing fall within sedentary classification, excessive sitting time has been associated with decreased blood flow, insulin resistance and increased adiposity. Previous ergonomic studies have proposed substituting sitting time with standing to decrease all-cause mortality and pain. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if time spent standing, compared to sitting, is associated with cardiometabolic health markers and physical performance. METHODS: 120 sedentary (week), participants without diabetes (fasting blood glucose ≤125 mg/dL) participated in this study …
