Inter-Individual Responses to Acute Resistance Training in the Blood Pressure Dipping Response in Normotensive and Hypertensive Men.

The blood pressure dipping response to acute resistance training exercise (RTE) is scarce in the literature. We determined the inter-individual blood pressure (BP) dipping variability of normotensive (NT) and hypertensive (HT) men completing two modalities of a single session of RTE. Volunteers (NT = 21, HT = 20) underwent a non-exercise control (CTRL), RTE high-sets low-repetitions (HSLR), and RTE high-repetitions low-sets (HRLS) conditions.

Effect of exercise-induced body fluid redistribution on body composition in males using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.

We studied the effect of exercise-induced body fluid redistribution on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) body composition scores. Thirty males completed 30-min of upper-body exercise (UBE), lower-body exercise, and seated non-exercise control (NEC). ANOVA determined interactions between experimental conditions and measurements on body composition variables.

The Effect of a Compression Bandage on Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Body Composition Scores.

Background: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures are affected by the noise produced by external factors such as textile compression found in loose clothing. The study aimed to determine the effect of a compression bandage (CB) on body composition (BC) assessed by DXA.

Methods: Sixty volunteers (age=21.

Low-Intensity Resistance Training Improves Flow-Mediated Dilation in Young Hispanic Adults.

Briceño-Torres, JM, Carpio-Rivera, E, Solera-Herrera, A, Forsse, J, Grandjean, PW, and Moncada-Jiménez, J. Low-intensity resistance training improves flow-mediated dilation in young hispanic adults. J Strength Cond Res 37(2): 298-304, 2023-The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 2 resistance exercise training (RET) intensities on brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) in sedentary males.

The Effects of Acute and Chronic Exercise on Paraoxonase-1 (PON1): A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis.

: To determine the acute and chronic effects of exercise on Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) concentration and activity. : A literature search was performed using 16 electronic databases. Effect sizes (ES) were computed and two-tailed α values < .

[Nutritional assessment and phytoestrogen exposure in a diet of students of the University of Costa Rica].

Introduction: this study presents the results regarding diet and an analysis of natural estrogens (phytoestrogens) intake and how they affect other important aspects, which can modulate biological health functions among university students. Objectives: assessing nutritional habits and estimating the intake of phytoestrogens in the population under study. Materials and methods: Costa Rican female (n: 211, 18.

Acute Effects of Exercise on Blood Pressure: A Meta-Analytic Investigation.

Hypertension affects 25% of the world's population and is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disorders and other diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the evidence regarding the acute effect of exercise on blood pressure (BP) using meta-analytic measures. Sixty-five studies were compared using effect sizes (ES), and heterogeneity and Z tests to determine whether the ES were different from zero.

Predictive validity of the body adiposity index in costa rican students.

Objective: To verify the validity of the body adiposity index (BAI) in a sample of Costa Rican students.

Methods: Volunteers were 93 females (mean age = 18.6 ± 2.
