The effect of resistive exercise on resting metabolic rate, lean body weight, and percent fat during caloric restriction in obese females
… reduction and it is believed that a benefit of exercise training is an adaptive increase in lean body weight (LBW) with a concurrent decrease in excess body fat. Since caloric restriction is essential for weight reduction, an increase or preservation of LBW is desirable. The purpose of this …

Whole-Body Vibration Compared to Traditional Physical Therapy in Individuals with Total Knee Arthroplasty
… to physical therapy directed progressive resistive exercise. Influence of WBV on muscle activation remains unclear, as initial muscle activation was near established normal quadriceps levels and remained so post treatment.

Aerobic exercise as a tool to improve problematic student behavior in the classroom
… of this study was to research the effect aerobic exercise on the behavior of problematic students. The time period of exercise in this study was between 15 and 18 minutes, two days per week. Two types of aerobic exercise were used, running and progressive resistive exercise, in the form of circuit …

Training distribution and the acquisition of maximal isometric elbow flexion strength
… results suggest that there is flexibility in resistive exercise schedules. An increase in neural drive to the agonist muscle continued throughout testing. This was accompanied by a reduction in antagonist co activation that was a short-tenn (two weeks) training effect, dissipated over the …

A critical benefit analysis of artificial gravity as a microgravity countermeasure
… traditional, ground-based countermeasures (i.e. resistive exercise, aerobic exercise, lower body negative pressure, or some variation of these). Animal studies were also evaluated to supplement the knowledge base and to fill gaps in the human countermeasure literature. Designs of published …

Muscle damage and the repeated bout effect in male bodybuilders following unaccustomed resistance exercise
… who performed an unaccustomed intense resistive exercise bout. Ten male bodybuilders (age: 23 ± 2 y, height: 177.6 ± 6.3 cm, body mass: 85.7 ± 8.1 kg) with a minimum of 4-years resistance training experience performed 17 exercises targeting the pectoral muscles. Eight of the 10 …

Effect of Palm Temperature on Fatigue During High Intensity Bench Press Exercise
… an ergogenic effect during short term intense exercise. One proposed method of personal cooling involves heat extraction from the palm using a device called the Rapid Thermal Exchanger (RTX). PURPOSE: In this study we hypothesized that local palm cooling during rest intervals between …

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation of the Wrist Flexors
The present study examined a wrist extension-to-flexion contraction pattern that was theorized to result in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. However, the “reversal of antagonists” contraction pattern may have, alternatively, interfered with motor learning-related increases in strength. …
