The Effects Of Resistance Exercise Training On Insulin Resistance Development In Female Rodents With Type 1 Diabetes, Mitchell James Sammut Aug 2023

The Effects Of Resistance Exercise Training On Insulin Resistance Development In Female Rodents With Type 1 Diabetes, Mitchell James Sammut

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The etiology of insulin resistance (IR) development in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) remains unclear; however, impaired skeletal muscle metabolism may play a role. While IR development has been established in male T1DM rodents, female rodents have yet to be examined in this context. Resistance exercise training (RT) has been shown to improve IR and is associated with a lower risk of hypoglycemia onset in T1DM compared to aerobic exercise. Additionally, the molecular mechanisms mediating RT-induced improvements in insulin sensitivity remain unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of RT on IR development in female …


A Comparison Of Methods To Identify The Mean Response Time Of Ramp-Incremental Exercise For Exercise Prescription, Nikan Behboodpour Feb 2023

A Comparison Of Methods To Identify The Mean Response Time Of Ramp-Incremental Exercise For Exercise Prescription, Nikan Behboodpour

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Introduction: The oxygen uptake (V̇O2) vs power output (PO) relationship from ramp incremental exercise (RAMP) is used to prescribe aerobic exercise. As PO increases, there is a delay in V̇O2 that contributes to a misalignment of V̇O2 from PO making precise prescription of exercise PO untenable. Three methods of determining Mean Response Time (exponential modeling (MRTEXP), linear modeling (MRTLIN), and the steady-state method (MRTSS)) were compared and evaluated for their accuracy at predicting the V̇O2 associated with two PO below estimated lactate threshold (qLT) and one …
