BODY COMPOSITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN ADOLESCENTS BORN WITH VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
PURPOSE: To compare indices of body composition and self-reported physical activity (PA) of very low birth weight (VLBW) and normal birth weight (NBW) adolescents, and to determine if PA is a possible mediator of the relationship between birth weight group and central adiposity. METHODS: Average …

Dietary protein and bone health: Harmonizing conflicting theories
… insulin-like growth factor 1 or by improving lean body mass which in turn increases bone growth. Although the notion of competing positive and negative pathways has been articulated theoretically, statistical mediation models of this “dual pathways” relationship have not been employed to …

The Relationship Between Endogenous Creatine Levels and Maximal Upper Body Strength, Short Term Muscle Recovery and Body Fat in Males
… strength, short term muscle recovery and body fat. We also examined the effects of creatine supplementation with a sufficient washout period on plasma creatinine levels. Participants consisted of 24 healthy men who met with the experimenter twice over a 4 day period. Significant positive …

Effects of Short-Term Resistance Training on Adult Men and Women with and without Metabolic Syndrome.
… These alterations include beneficial effects on body composition, blood pressure, and blood lipids and enhanced maximum strength, rate of force development, and power. These enhancements may translate into a better quality of life. As a result, resistance training can be used as a valuable tool …

Resistance Training Increases the Expression of AMPK, mTOR, and GLUT4 in Previously Sedentary Subjects and Subjects with the Metabolic Syndrome.
… increased by 10% in both groups. Percent body fat decreased in subjects with the metabolic syndrome. Additionally, lean body mass increased in both groups (p<0.05). Expression of glucose transporter protein-4 (GLUT4), the principle insulin-responsive glucose transporter, increased …

Investigation of Determinants of Agility Performance in Soccer
… = 65). Anthropometric measures included height, body mass, percent body fat, lean body mass. Strength was evaluated using an isometric mid-thigh pull, and power was measured by vertical jumps. In correlation analysis, agility performance showed a statistically significant correlation (p<0.05) …

Expressed per kilogram of body weight, the mean RMR for CV was 3.205 {dollar}\pm{dollar} 0.357 ml/kg min, while those of WT and Sed were 3.032 {dollar}\pm{dollar} 0.481 and 3.005 {dollar}\pm{dollar} 0.642 ml/kg min, respectively. Expressed per kilogram of lean body mass, the …

A new concept and its application for protein sparing therapies during semi-starvation
The preservation of the body cell mass is a major goal of nutritional therapy. Attempts to assure this preservation during acute phases of trauma, burn or sepsis have relied on treatments which appear to maintain the clinical picture of the "fed state" either orally or parenterally …

The Interrelationships of Fitness Characteristics in Division 1 Athletes
… sprinting ability, muscularity, and body fat percentage. These variables have been shown in previous research to independently affect athletic performance outcomes, but their relationships to one another are less clear. Eighty Division I athletes from 4 sports were examined in a …

Changes in BMD and Body Composition in Children with Central Precocious Puberty Before and After Treatment with GnRH Agonist
"We assessed bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in 121 Korean girls with central precocious puberty (CPP) before, during, and after 1 year of treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. BMD, bone mineral content (BMC), lean body mass (LBM), and fat mass (FM) were …

Diurnal and daily variation in creatinine excretion among preadolescent girls consuming three levels of dietary protein
… metabolic studies. The apparent contribution of lean body mass to creatinine excretion points to the need for experimental diets which are controlled for preformed creatine and creatinine in order to gain a greater understanding of the true effect of dietary protein level on creatinine excretion.

EFFECTS OF BEETROOT JUICE, PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTATION, AND RESISTANCE TRAINING ON STRENGTH IN OLDER ADULTS
Reductions in muscle strength, lean body mass, and insulin sensitivity occur with aging; a novel intervention of dietary nitrates, protein supplement, and resistance training was tested to improve these age-related declines. Beetroot juice is a dietary source high in nitrates. PURPOSE: The primary …
