Creator
Feil, Friederike., College of Education, Department of Exercise Science and Health Promotion
Abstract/Description
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of compression socks worn post exercise on the perceived rating of muscle soreness. Methods: In a randomly cross over design, 16 subjects performed a soreness inducing protocol. Below knee CG (Compression garments) were worn for the next 6 hours post exercise. HR (Heart Rate), RPE (rate of perceived exhaustion) and time to complete one cycle was measured throughout the intervention. PS (Perceived Soreness) was assessed prior, immediate post, 6h, and 24h post...

Methods: In a randomly cross over design, 16 subjects performed a soreness inducing protocol. Below knee CG (Compression garments) were worn for the next 6 hours post exercise. HR (Heart Rate), RPE (rate of perceived exhaustion) and time to complete one cycle was measured throughout the intervention. PS (Perceived Soreness) was assessed prior, immediate post, 6h, and 24h post exercise. Results: There was no significant difference in perception of soreness between compression and no compression at 6h post exercise (p=.136) and at 24h post exercise (p=286). Conclusion: Compression socks worn post exercise did not significantly alter ratings of perceived soreness after a soreness inducing protocol.

The effects of high and low repetition daily undulating periodization models with equated volume on strength and hypertrophy in trained males
Title
The effects of high and low repetition daily undulating periodization models with equated volume on strength and hypertrophy in trained males.
Creator
Klemp, Alex, Zourdos, Michael C., Florida Atlantic University, College of Education, Department of Exercise Science and Health Promotion
Abstract/Description
Periodized training programs seem to augment muscle performance (i.e., hypertrophy, strength and muscle endurance), however, optimal repetition ranges to achieve these adaptations are unclear. Thus, the purpose was to compare high and low repetition daily undulating periodization (DUP) models, with equal volume on performance. Eleven trained, college-aged males were counterbalanced into high (DUPHR) or low (DUP-LR) repetition groups. Subjects performed the squat and bench press 3X/wk. for...
Show morePeriodized training programs seem to augment muscle performance (i.e., hypertrophy, strength and muscle endurance), however, optimal repetition ranges to achieve these adaptations are unclear. Thus, the purpose was to compare high and low repetition daily undulating periodization (DUP) models, with equal volume on performance. Eleven trained, college-aged males were counterbalanced into high (DUPHR) or low (DUP-LR) repetition groups. Subjects performed the squat and bench press 3X/wk. for 8wks. Outcome measures included one-repetition maximum (1RM) bench press, squat, and total strength (TS=squat+bench press), and muscle thickness (MT). 1RM strength increased with no difference between groups. Both groups increased total chest and total body MT (p<0.05); but only DUP-HR increased thigh MT (p<0.05). Effect sizes showed meaningful differences in strength favoring DUP-LR for bench press-1.48 and TS-0.89. Our findings indicate with equal volume, there may be meaningful differences in strength that are repetition-dependent, and varying responses to MT across different muscle groups.

Allometric scaling models of isometric biceps strength and the effects of resistance training
Title
Allometric scaling models of isometric biceps strength and the effects of resistance training.
Creator
Ryan, Eric Dobert., Florida Atlantic University, Zoeller, Robert F.
Abstract/Description
The purpose of this study was to (1) derive gender-specific allometric scaling models using pre-training muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and body mass (BM) as scaling variables, (2) test model appropriateness using regression diagnostics, and (3) cross-validate the models before and after training. A subset of FAMuSS study data (n = 319, females = 183, males = 136) was randomly split into two groups (A & B). Group A pre-training data for female BM, female CSA, male BM, and male CSA models...

A subset of FAMuSS study data (n = 319, females = 183, males = 136) was randomly split into two groups (A & B). Group A pre-training data for female BM, female CSA, male BM, and male CSA models produced scaling exponents of 1.08, 0.44, 0.63, and 0.68, respectively. The female BM model was deemed inappropriate due to non-normal distribution of residuals. All other models met statistical criteria including normal distribution of residuals. Cross-validation to Group B pre-training data revealed that the models were appropriate, with the possible exception of male CSA model. Twelve weeks of resistance training did not alter the relation between BM, CSA, and muscular strength assessed by allometric scaling.

The influence of time-equated training programs on muscle hypertrophy, strength, and body composition

Abstract/Description
The purpose of this study was to determine if barbell circuit training (RTC) as a model for concurrent training is superior to high intensity interval (CTHI) or moderate intensity continuous (CTMI) cycling for changes in muscular strength, hypertrophy, and body composition. Eleven trained males were recruited and counterbalanced into three groups. Each program featured three alternating days of resistance training per week, with one of the above time-equated (30-minute) concurrent training...

Eleven trained males were recruited and counterbalanced into three groups. Each program featured three alternating days of resistance training per week, with one of the above time-equated (30-minute) concurrent training modalities between sessions. All groups increased muscular strength (p<0.05, RTC=7.48%, CTHI=10.32%, CTMI=15.74%) with no group differences (p>0.05). Increases in upper body muscle hypertrophy were similar in RTC and CTMI (p<0.01, RTC=20.18%, CTMI=20.97%), increases in lower body muscle hypertrophy only occurred in CTMI (VM: p=0.01, 38.59%, VLP: p=0.07, 13.33%), while no hypertrophy changes were detected in CTHI (p>0.05), no group experienced changes in body composition (p>0.05). These findings suggest similar muscle performance benefits from barbell circuit or cycling concurrent training.

Relationships Between Diet and Physical Activity Lifestyle Factors and Body Composition, Waist Circumference, and Body Mass Index in Postmenopausal Women
Title

Creator
Jansen, Mary, Zoeller, Robert F., Florida Atlantic University, College of Education, Department of Exercise Science and Health Promotion
Abstract/Description
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare relationships between dietary and physical activity (PA) behaviors and body composition and body fat distribution, as measured by percent body fat (BF%), waist-to-height ratio (WHt), waistto- hip ratio (WHp) and body mass index (BMI) in post-menopausal women (Post), with the same relationships in pre-menopausal women (Pre). METHODS: Ninety-two subjects (n = 48 Post; n = 44 Pre) were measured for height, weight, waist and hip circumferences and...

METHODS: Ninety-two subjects (n = 48 Post; n = 44 Pre) were measured for height, weight, waist and hip circumferences and skinfold thicknesses. Dietary content was obtained from a Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ II); PA was estimated from responses to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). RESULTS: Multiple regression identified no modifiable predictor variables for Pre. Models for Post identified saturated fat grams (SFGs), PA, years postmenopause (YrsPost), and Alcohol (Alc) as predictors of WHt, WHp, BMI and BF%. CONCLUSIONS: PA, SFG and Alc are modifiable variables related to postmenopausal body composition and fat distribution.
