The antioxidative effects of exercise training-and diet-induced weight loss
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Obesity and insulin resistance (IR) increase the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD); however, much of this risk is not attributable to traditional ... -
Eccentric and concentric resistance exercise induced changes on insulin sensitivity and inflammation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of an acute bout of eccentriconly (ECC) resistance exercise to an acute bout of concentric-only (CON) resistance exercise on glucose tolerance and to investigate ... -
The effects of an acute bout of eccentric, concentric, and traditional resistance exercise on adiponectin concentrations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Introduction: Adiponectin is a protein secreted from adipose tissue which displays both anti-diabetic and anti-atherogenic properties. Purpose: The primary aim of the study was to examine the effects of a single session ... -
The effects of eccentric and concentric resistance exercise on metabolic health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The purpose of this study was to 1) compare the effects of single sessions of eccentric (ECC) and concentric (CON) contractions, and 2) determine the effects of 12 wks of ECC and CON resistance training (RT) on parameters ... -
The effects of exercise and fish oil on oxidative stress
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of four weeks of fish oil supplementation and four weeks of fish oil supplementation and exercise ... -
Effects of high fat loading on substrate utilization and performance during intermittent exercise in trained athletes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)High intensity intermittent exercise is the most common form of exercise in competitive sport yet dietary factors that affect an athlete's performance in this capacity are rarely investigated. The purpose of this investigation ... -
Interaction of exercise and fish oil on postprandial lipemia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The purpose of the study was to examine the interaction of fish oil and exercise in attenuating PPL after a high fat meal and inflammation induced by exercise. Previously sedentary subjects were randomly assigned to one ... -
A proposed scoring system for quantification of metabolic syndrome severity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and mortality. Currently, there is no established tool to quantify severity of MetS. Furthermore, it is unclear which ...
