Correction to: Ten weeks of branched-chain amino acid supplementation improves select performance and immunological variables in trained cyclists
(Springer Vienna, 2018-10)Correction: The authors claim that their names were incorrectly listed on PubMed. For the author R. Mac Thompson, the first name should be R. Mac and the last name should be Thompson. On SpringerLink the name is listed ... -
Site-specific associations of muscle thickness with bone mineral density in middle-aged and older men and women
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2016-06)It is unknown whether age-related site-specific muscle loss is associated with areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in older adults. To examine the relationships between aBMD and whole-body muscle thickness distribution, 97 ... -
Ten weeks of branched-chain amino acid supplementation improves select performance and immunological variables in trained cyclists
(Springer Vienna, 2016-03)We examined if supplementing trained cyclists (32 +/- A 2 year, 77.8 +/- A 2.6 kg, and 7.4 +/- A 1.2 year training) with 12 g/day (6 g/day l-Leucine, 2 g/day l-Isoleucine and 4 g/day l-Valine) of either branched-chain amino ... -
Influence of adipose tissue mass on DXA-derived lean soft tissue mass in middle-aged and older women
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2015-01-30)The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of fat-free adipose tissue mass (FFAT) on association between dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived lean soft tissue mass and skeletal muscle mass (TMM). ... -
Validity of ultrasound prediction equations for total and regional muscularity in middle-aged and older men and women
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2015-02)To test the validity of published equations, 79 Caucasian adults (40 men and 39 women) aged 50-78 y had muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound at nine sites of the body. Fat-free mass (FFM), lean soft tissue mass ... -
Site-specific thigh muscle loss as an independent phenomenon for age-related muscle loss in middle-aged and older men and women
(Springer, 2014-06)The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-determined appendicular lean mass (aLM) and ultrasound-measured thigh muscle thickness (MTH) ratio and between aLM ... -
Comparison of bone mineral density between male masters runners and cyclists
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2014-04-25)For maintenance of bone health during adulthood, weight-bearing exercise is recommended. Cycling is becoming a popular form of exercise for older adults due to reduced impact on weight-bearing joints. Some data suggest ... -

Bone turnover marker responses to 12 weeks of walking with and without blood flow restriction
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013-05)Neuromuscular adaptations to blood flow restricted (BFR) exercise have been well documented. Few studies have investigated the effects of BFR exercise on bone metabolism and none in women.PURPOSE: To investigate the effects ... -
Differences in women core muscle activation during performance of exercises in stable and unstable conditions
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013-05)There is a lack of knowledge about correct exercise progression during core training, especially if it is necessary to choose between different devices.PURPOSE: To compare core muscular activity during nine exercises ... -
Effects of detraining on performance measures following cycling with or without blood flow restriction
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013-05)Generally, cycle training improves muscular strength, body composition, and aerobic capacity; however, once the training stimulus is removed (detraining), many of the adaptations become partially or entirely diminished.PURPOSE: ... -
Relationship between protein intake and skeletal muscle in older active adults
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014-05)Sarcopenia, loss of skeletal muscle in older adults, can lead to serious health consequences. Several non-pharmacological strategies have been suggested to prevent sarcopenia, one of which is increased protein consumption ... -
Skeletal muscle mass, bone mineral density, and walking performance in masters cyclists
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2014-06-11)Exercise mode and intensity/duration are important factors for influencing muscle morphology and function as well as bone. However, it is unknown whether masters cyclists who undergo regular moderate-to high-intensity ... -
The effects of elastic band resistance training combined with blood flow restriction on strength, total bone-free lean body mass and muscle thickness in postmenopausal women
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013-09)Introduction Elastic band (EB) training is a common form of resistance training used by the elderly, individuals with joint problems or those recovering from injury. EB training performed at low intensities by these ... -
Stage of exercise change model and attitudes toward exercise in older adults
(Ammons Scientific, 2001-08)This study examined the attitudes toward exercise held by older adults within different stages of the exercise change model for the purpose of aiding health professionals in developing effective approaches that engage older ... -
An examination of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale using collegiate wheelchair basketball student athletes
(Ammons Scientific, 2007-04)The purpose was to examine the construct validity of the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES). The construct validity of the scale was examined by applying it to collegiate wheelchair basketball student athletes at an NCAA ... -
Methods to assess and improve the physical parameters associated with fall risk in older adults
(Academic Press, 2003-03)Falls are common among older adults. Many physical parameters including reduced postural stability, decreased dynamic balance, gait disorders, strength deficits, difficulty standing from a chair, and other impairments have ... -
Brief aikido training versus karate and golf training and university students' scores on self-esteem, anxiety, and expression of anger
(Ammons Scientific, 1997-04)The purpose of this research was to investigate if aikido training for 10 weeks for 69 beginning students is effective in improving selected aspects of personality. The hypothesis was that subjects' scores would significantly ... -
Effects of dumbbell and elastic band training on physical function in older inner-city African-American women
(Routledge, 2002)Providing inner-city minorities with inexpensive exercise programs may be a means of reducing frailty and maintaining independent lifestyles in this population. To determine the efficacy of such a program, 22 African-American ... -
Training to reduce postural sway and increase functional reach in the elderly
(Springer New York, 2001-12)Poor balance is one of the most common risk factors for falling, a common cause of work-related injury and death. To evaluate the effects of a 10-week intervention program on balance in older adults, 12 participants aged ...
