Salivary VIP concentrations are elevated in humans after acute stress
… stress can be experienced usually by strenuous exercise. Salivary NPY and salivary VIP are two neuropeptides that are released as a result of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity respectively. These two biomarkers are measured extensively in the blood or plasma but they are not routinely …

The effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on recovery : a 10-week trial comparing duration of DOMS before and after the use of PBM with the use of BIODEX
… 10-week period. DOMS is a common side effect of intense exercise. Therefore, it can have a significant impact on athletic performance and training schedules. Although various rehabilitation strategies have been proposed, PBM therapy has emerged as a promising approach to improve muscle recovery …

The effects of an eight week cardiac rehabilitation exercise program on Lp(a) concentration in patients with coronary artery disease
… artery disease (CAD). It has been suggested that intense exercise lowers plasma (Lp(a)) in healthy individuals. To study the efficacy of moderate intensity exercise in lowering (Lp(a)), 11 men (M age = 60) and 5 women (M age = 70) with angiographically documented CAD participated in an 8-week …

The effects of cannabidiol on measures of performance following eccentric exercise
Following intense exercise, there is a period of time when performance is decreased. Cannabidiol (CBD) is advertised as an anti-inflammatory supplement that can expedite recovery when consumed after exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine if CBD supplementation reduces fatigue and …

The effects of exercise on iron metabolism in adult female rats
The effects of exercise training and iron intake on iron metabolism in adult female rats were investigated. Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to either an exercise (E) or sedentary (S) group and fed either a diet containing 9 ppm (9) of dietary iron (low iron level), or 40 ppm (40) of …

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness in People with Diabetes; Biomarkers and Nutritional Supplementation
Exercise is important for controlling hemoglobin A1c, and maintaining proper glycemic control in people with diabetes. Exercise also increases the diabetics overall insulin sensitivity, and decreases their dependency on diabetes medication. However, people with diabetes are faced with metabolic and …
