A Small Change Approach on Adiposity, Lean Mass, and Bone Mineral Density in Adults with Overweight and Obesity: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… to maintain their usual lifestyle. Adiposity, lean mass, and bone mineral density were measured by dual-x-ray absorptiometry. The study found that changes in total adiposity were significantly greater in SCA than UC at 6 and 12 months but did not remain significant at 24 months (mean change SCA …

Changes in Body Composition, of College Football Players, Before and After a 14-week Competitive Football Season
… football players would decrease muscle mass and increase their body fat percentage from before to after the season. The second hypothesis was that caloric intake would be greater after the season than before the season.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> Body compositions of 53 NCAA Division …

Body composition in elderly and its features in persons with sarcopenia /
The body composition is changing with age: the lean body mass – first of all the skeletal muscle mass and later the bone mineral content – reduces and the fat mass increases, also the regional re-distribution of fat mass occurs. The combination of low muscle mass and low muscle strength or physical …

Correlations between Body Composition Components and Bone Mineral Content in Untrained Young Men and Women
… humans. Research is divided as to whether fat or lean mass plays a more significant role in the development of bone mass. Physical activity has also been shown to increase bone mineral content in adolescents and combat the loss of bone density with aging. The purpose of this study was to examine …

Upper Body Characteristics Related To Double Pole Performance in Female Cross Country Skiers
… current study was to correlate upper body (UB) lean mass (UBLM), UB maximal strength (UBMS), and average power production during a 3-min ski ergometer (SERG) test to predict the dependent variable, a one-kilometer uphill double pole time trial (DPTT) on snow. We hypothesized UBLM would be most …

Differences in Bone Mineral Density Among Adolescent Female Tennis Players and Non-Tennis Players
… is one of the major determinants of peak bone mass during adolescence. However, type of pa plays an important role when examining the effects of pa on bone mineral density (BMD). Purpose: 1) to determine the differences in BMD among adolescent female tennis players (TP) and non-tennis players …

Skeletal muscle mass, function, and metabolic regulation between menopause stages in moderately active mid-life females
… the effect of menopause stage on skeletal muscle mass, strength and function and to evaluate the response to resistance exercise training between pre-, peri and post-menopausal mid-life females. Seventy one moderately active pre-, peri, and post-menopausal females were characterised …

The impact of whey protein isolate on energy balance regulation
… suppressed HFD-induced body fat and increased lean mass at 8 weeks of dietary challenge despite elevated plasma triacylglycerol (TAG) levels, suggesting reduced TAG storage. WPI reduced HFD-associated hypothalamic leptin and insulin receptor (IR) mRNA expression, and prevented HFD-associated …

Outcomes in COPD Patients Completing Both an Endurance Training Program and a Strength Training Program
… compare changes in physical function, HRQL, and lean mass in COPD patients completing both an ET and ST program. METHODS: Eleven mildly diseased patients completed an ET program, and subsequently, a ST program. RESULTS: Pulmonary function remained stable over the five year period. ET and ST …

Efficacy of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation in hemodialysis patients
… acid leucine that has been shown to improve lean mass and physical function in the elderly and clinical populations, but had not previously been studied in MHD patients. Approximately 25 percent of supplemental HMB is cleared by the kidney; therefore, we first performed an acute study to …

Exercise and nutrition induced weight loss for prostate cancer patients
… induce fat loss, while preserving or improving lean mass. Study 1 (Chapter 4) is an examination of the efficacy of a weight loss program in altering body composition in overweight and obese prostate cancer patients scheduled for a robot assisted radical prostatectomy. Study 2 (Chapter 5) is an …

Genetic approaches to identifying causal pathways to cardiometabolic diseases
… instruments for overall and regional fat and lean mass. Findings: Genetic approaches to studying causality in an observational setting rely on important assumptions that are sensitive to violations, particularly in the context of highly correlated ‘omic’ measures. Existing methods generally …

The Influence of Stride Length, Knee Stiffness, and Leg Strength on the Associations Between Bone Mineral Density, Lean and Fat Mass, and Knee Joint Compressive Forces Among Older Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis
… (OA) exhibit a specific phenotype of high fat mass and bone mineral density (BMD) that is associated with increased knee forces and disease progression. Whether this relationship is mediated by biomechanical factors has not been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to …

Transcriptomic Signatures of Skeletal Muscle Adaptation: Disuse, Rehabilitation, and Resistance Exercise Intervention
… leading to sarcopenia characterized by muscle mass decline and functional impairment. Moreover, short-term inactivity exacerbates sarcopenia, necessitating effective rehabilitation strategies. Despite advancements in understanding muscle physiology, the transcriptional events underlying muscle …

GROWING, BUILDING AND REPAING ELITE RUGBY PLAYERS: Nutritional and Energetic Considerations
… and match play, thus requiring high amounts of lean mass. To cope with such demands the pre-season period is typically used to grow and build players’ to elicit improvements in body composition profiles, ready for the start of the season. Measurements of total energy expenditure and inflammation …

Correlation of Osteoporosis and Obesity
… disease characterized by a reduction in bone mass. The relationship between obesity and osteoporosis has long been investigated. It is a widely held dogma that interventions lowering the risk of obesity may generally result in higher risk for osteoporosis. It is also believed that increasing …

Digestible methionine + cysteine:digestible lysine ratio in diets for broilers submitted to inflammatory challenge
… x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) estimated fat mass (%) and lean mass (%). The differences were considered significant at an alpha level of 0.05. A linear regression model was used to evaluate the effects of the dig Met + Cys:dig Lys ratio on the evaluated parameters. There was no interaction (P …
