The reliability of back-extrapolation in estimating in different swimming performances at the severe-intensity domain.

The amount of anerobic energy released during exercise might modify the initial phase of oxygen recovery (fast-O) post-exercise. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the reliability of peak oxygen uptake estimate by back-extrapolation under different swimming conditions in the severe-intensity domain, verifying how the alterations of the recovery profile and anerobic energy demand might affect values. Twenty swimmers (16.

Chrysin protects against behavioral, cognitive and neurochemical alterations in a 6-hydroxydopamine model of Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder that severely affects quality of life of patients and their families. The flavonoid chrysin (5,7-dihydroxylflavone) is a naturally occurring flavone with several pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative. We investigated the effects of a 28-day chrysin treatment (10 mg/kg/day, i.

Muscle strength and regional lean body mass influence on mineral bone health in young male adults.

The relationship between muscle strength and bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) is supposed from the assumption of the mechanical stress influence on bone tissue metabolism. However, the direct relationship is not well established in younger men, since the enhancement of force able to produce effective changes in bone health, still needs to be further studied. This study aimed to analyze the influence of muscle strength on BMC and BMD in undergraduate students.
