Effects of exercise modality on metabolic rate, body composition, dietary intake, and eating behaviour
… study was designed to investigate the effects of exercise as a strategy for weight management in overweight women. Specifically, the effects of exercise modality on metabolic rate, body composition, dietary intake, and eating behaviour were examined. Participants included 41 overweight, sedentary …

Influence of Exercise Modality on Body Composition, Insulin Resistance and Functional Fitness in Aging: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… benefits associated with performing resistance exercise (RE), aerobic exercise (AE), or a combination of both exercise modalities (RAE) for six months in the absence of caloric restriction, was conducted on otherwise healthy but abdominally obese, sedentary men (n=57) and women (n=79) between …

The effect of insulin treatment and exercise modality on skeletal muscle fiber size in streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rats
… the role of intensity of insulin treatment and exercise modality in attenuating this loss in fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) specifically has yet to be determined. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of 12 weeks of differing intensity of insulin therapy and exercise …

The Effects of Exercise Training on Resting Metabolic Rate in Youth with Overweight or Obesity
… and is often reduced with weight loss. Exercise training has been shown to attenuate RMR reductions in adults. However, little is known about the effects of exercise training and body composition changes on RMR in youth with overweight or obesity. A secondary analysis of sedentary youth …

Development and assessment of methods for arm-cranking exercise assisted by functional electrical stimulation (FES) in tetraplegia
In this pilot study, a new avenue for exercise in tetraplegia, involving FES applied to upper limb muscles, is suggested. The main motivation for developing methods for FES-assisted arm-cranking exercise is to provide an exercise modality specifically designed for tetraplegia that might address …

The effects of chronic and acute exercise modalities on substrate utilization and plasma adiponectin concentration
… increasing fatty acid oxidation at rest, via exercise or otherwise, may augment plasma adiponectin. The current literature addressing changes substrate utilization and possible direct effects on adiponectin during and following exercise is not well established. Therefore, the purpose of this …

Hammer Strength vs. Free Weights: Upper Body 1 RM Comparisons
… Loaded Machines and three comparable Free Weight Exercises. All tests were counterbalanced and randomly assigned. Subjects performed two 1RM tests during each lab session, with at least 48-72 hours of recovery between each. IRM's were recorded as the greatest amount of weight lifted with proper …

The molecular memory of exercise in skeletal muscle
… combated through increased physical activity and exercise. Both endurance and resistance exercise have been shown to enhance performance and increase overall health. While the study of how these types of exercise lead to adaptation in skeletal muscle is quite extensive, how exercise leads to …

Vascular and Neuro-Inflammatory Modulation Following Resistance Training in Young African American and White Men
… We sought to examine the effect of resistance exercise training on vascular and autonomic function in young African American and white men. Several non-invasive methods were used to assess macrovascular structure, macrovascular/microvascular function, limb blood blow, central and peripheral …

Home-based high-intensity interval training for people with Parkinson’s : The HIIT-Home4Parkinson’s Study
Background<br/>Exercise, particularly of high intensity, is considered to be important for people with Parkinson’s (PwP). However, PwP are less active than healthy individuals, and face disease specific and logistical barriers to exercise participation such as lack of outcome expectation, symptom …

Effect of high intensity interval training on Parkinson's disease
… for this disease have been further investigated, exercise has been found to have benefit by preserving function and quality of life for Parkinson’s patients. Although the positive effects of exercise on Parkinson’s patients have been explored, the exact type and how much has not been narrowed …

The elevation of metabolic rate after combined arm-and-leg versus leg-only exercise
… for a period of time after the cessation of exercise. While other investigations have examined the effect of intensity and duration of prior exercise, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exercise mode and the employment of different muscle masses on the elevation of …

Physiological And Perceptual Responses To Alternate Modes Of Exercise At Self Selected Or Prescribed Intensity Between Overweight And Non-Overweight Individuals
… To investigate the influence of body weight, exercise modality, and pace on physiological and perceptual responses during walking. Also, to determine if the relationship between physiological and perceptual responses was altered by modality, pace, or weight status. Methods: Aerobically …

Analysis of lower limb injury prevention programmes in relation to hamstring and anterior cruciate ligament risk factors in team sport athletes
… preventative programmes including different exercise modality have been proposed to modify the injury risk factors. However, there is still a lack of uniform criteria regarding the design of an ideal protocol for effective protection against the two aforementioned injuries in team sport …

Effects of Exercise Intensity, Modality and Environment on Gastrointestinal Permeability, Damage and Symptomology in Healthy Males.
It is becoming accepted that exercise increases gastrointestinal (GI) symptomology and permeability potentially effecting performance and recovery. This thesis addresses the issues of how exercise intensity, modality and pattern of exercise will impact upon GI permeability, damage and symptomology …

EXERCISE-INDUCED MYOKINES RELEASE: IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE AND MENTAL HEALTH IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
Physical exercise exerts profound systemic effects on human physiology, mediated by the secretion of signalling molecules such as myokines, adipokines, and neuropeptides. These factors regulate energy metabolism, tissue repair, neuroendocrine function, and overall homeostasis, thereby contributing …

Training variables, such as the exercise modality, the number of weekly training sessions, and the intensity and duration of each session are manipulated to elicit favorable adaptations. Equally important …
