Snp-Induced Dilation Following A Short-Term Intraluminal Pressure Increase In Aged Skeletal Muscle Feed Arteries, John W. Seawright, Meredith J. Luttrell, Christopher R. Woodman

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

A decline in peripheral vascular function occurs with age and is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Moderate, aerobic exercise has been documented to improve or reverse the age-related decline in vascular function. The signal(s) associated with exercise responsible for the improvement in vascular function is not known; however, increased intraluminal pressure that occurs during a bout of exercise has been proposed to play an integral role. Previously, we reported that exposure to a short-term increase in intraluminal pressure improves endothelium-dependent vasodilator responses in aged arteries. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pressure treatment enhances …

Fitness A Stronger Exercise Motivator Among United States Female Collegiate Exercise Physiology Students Compared To Czech Republic, Jessica A. Peterson Ms

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Motivation is significant in influencing behavior change and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Physical appearance, weight control, and fitness enhancement are primary motivators for exercise participation and adherence. Exercise knowledge and cultural influences are less established. The purpose of this study was to compare exercise motivators among collegiate female exercise physiology students from the United States (US) and the Czech Republic (CR). US (N=28; age=21.1±2.2) and CR (N=25; age=20.2±1.5) freshman exercise physiology students from Valdosta State University (Valdosta, GA) and Palacký University (Olomouc, CR) volunteered for the study. A secondary analysis was conducted on female participants using body mass index (BMI) …

Decrements Of Muscle Protein Synthesis With Unloading Are Not Due To Insufficient Concentrations Of Intramuscular Leucine, Shaik T. Ullah, Kevin Shimkus, Yasaman Shirazi-Fard, Camilo Pohlenz, Jacqueline Perticone, Del Gatlin, Harry Hogan, James Fluckey

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Skeletal muscle mass and strength play critical roles in quality of life, and significant muscle atrophy contributes to reduced function and can exacerbate some disease states. It is well-known that persistent reductions of mechanical loading in skeletal muscle result in degeneration. Generally, reductions of muscle protein synthesis are, at least in part, a major culprit with muscle loss under these conditions, and numerous countermeasures such as exercise and nutritional supplements, known to stimulate protein synthesis have been designed to maintain muscle mass under those conditions. Amino acid supplementation, particularly with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), has been suggested as a countermeasure …

Effect Of Combined Aerobic And Resistance Training On Hpa Axis Reactivity In Hiv+ Women Undergoing Treatment For Substance Abuse, Hui-Ying Luk, Jakob L. Vingren, Anthony A. Duplanty, Alex Fernandez, James Miller, David W. Hill

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Substance abuse and infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are chronic stressors that affect hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combined aerobic and resistance training on HPA axis reactivity in women with HIV undergoing treatment for substance abuse. Sixteen women (mean ± SD; 41 ± 9 years, 164 ± 6 cm, 78.1 ± 17.1 kg, 36 ± 10 % body fat) infected with HIV and enrolled in an intensive 60-day in-patient substance addiction/abuse treatment program were recruited shortly after admission to the treatment facility. Participants were assigned to one of two …

Voluntary Exercise Reduces Alzheimer’S-Like Pathology After Inflammation In Mice, Marielle K. Weintraub, Jordon D. White, Stephanie M. Turner, Samantha L. Hodges, Amanda Leigh Morin, Lindsey N. Sadler, Gary W. Boehm, Michael J. Chumley

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Current global statistics estimate that 44.4 million people are afflicted with dementia, and that 50%-75% of these patients suffer from Alzheimer’s disease (AD; Prince et al. 2013). AD, a progressive disorder categorized by neuronal and behavioral deterioration, is the 6^th leading cause of death in America (Alz facts and figure 2012). One hallmark pathology of AD is the presence of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in the brain, which can limit cell-to-cell communication, leading to cognitive deficits, and neuronal cell death. Although the exact origins of this disease still remain unknown, one possible catalyst of AD pathology is inflammation. Our lab has …

Cardiorespiratory And Biomechanical Changes With Hippotherapy In Children With And Without Cerebral Palsy, Brandon R. Rigby, Adam R. Gloeckner, Zacharias Papadakis, Annie A. Bane, Jeff S. Forsse, Ashley E. Bird, Taylor R. Willard, Dyana L. Bullinger, Rebecca R. Rogers, Kyle D. Biggerstaff, Peter W. Grandjean

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Hippotherapy utilizes the rhythmic movement of the horse to improve functional abilities and quality of life of individuals with neurological impairments. Little is known regarding the changes in body segment kinematics and cardiovascular responses of the rider due to the therapy. A change in the magnitude of pelvic displacement (PD) may allow those who use the therapy to more easily perform activities of daily living. Also, reduced cardiovascular stress to similar physical activities may be an important, but overlooked, therapeutic benefit of hippotherapy. The purpose of this study was to characterize PD and cardiorespiratory (CR) responses to simulated horseback riding …

Using Image-Based Flow Cytometry To Monitor Exercise-Induced Changes In Granulocyte Function, Randall R. Williams, Adam Venable, Eric Prado, Andrea Henning, Brian Mcfarlin

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Introduction. Strenuous aerobic exercise is known to disrupt innate immune function for up to 24-h, resulting in a period of time where individuals are more likely to get sick; granulocytes play a key role in this innate immune response. Recently our laboratory validated a new, image-based method of simultaneously assessing granulocyte phagocytosis and oxidative burst to divide granulocytes into high-, moderate-, and low-active phenotypes. The purpose of the present study was to use image-based flow cytometry method to assess the effect of strenuous aerobic exercise on the change in granulocyte activation phenotype. Methods. After providing their informed consent, subjects were …

Using Dry Blood Spots To Evaluate Serum Cytokines And Chemokines In Humans Via Multiplex Technology, Eric A. Prado, Adam S. Venable, Andie L. Henning, Randall R. Williams, Brian K. Mcfarlin

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Introduction: Dried Blood Spot (DBS) analysis has been used routinely since 1963 for the assessment of metabolic diseases in neonates; however, recent efforts have focused on the refinement and validation of DBS for other patient populations. The purpose of this study was to adapt existing DBS methods to analyze 38 serum cytokines/chemokines in human subjects. Validation will be completed by comparing DBS to serum for a given analyte.

Methods: After providing informed consent, subjects (N=21) provided a finger-stick DBS or venous serum sample using standard technique. Subjects were apparently healthy, non-obese, and had no known disease. Finger-stick capillary blood samples …

Abstract

Vespa amino acid mixture (VAAM) is a nutritional supplement derived from the Asian Mandarin Wasp (Vespa Mandarina). VAAM has been shown to enhance lipolysis in rat adipocytes and is purported to improve endurance performance via enhanced fat metabolism. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects VAAM on cycling performance during a 20k time trial. 10 trained, male cyclists …
