Validation of InBody 770 bioelectrical impedance analysis compared to a four-compartment model criterion in young adults.

Background: Multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA) offers enhanced body composition outcomes in a time-efficient manner. The accuracy of stand-up MF-BIA compared against a four-compartment (4C) criterion lacks evidence.

Objectives: To validate a stand-up MF-BIA compared to a 4C criterion for fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM) and body fat percentage (%fat).

High-intensity interval training and essential amino acid supplementation: Effects on muscle characteristics and whole-body protein turnover.

The purpose of this study was to compare the independent and combined effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and essential amino acids (EAA) on lean mass, muscle characteristics of the quadriceps, and 24-hr whole-body protein turnover (WBPT) in overweight and obese adults. An exploratory aim was to evaluate potential modulatory effects of sex. Sixty-six adults (50% female; Age: 36.

Nutritional Considerations and Strategies to Facilitate Injury Recovery and Rehabilitation.

Nutritional interventions are not commonly a standard of care in rehabilitation interventions. A nutritional approach has the potential to be a low-cost, high-volume strategy that complements the existing standard of care. In this commentary, our aim is to provide an evidence-based, practical guide for athletes with injuries treated surgically or conservatively, along with healing and rehabilitation considerations.

Effects of Pre-Sleep Whey vs. Plant-Based Protein Consumption on Muscle Recovery Following Damaging Morning Exercise.

Pre-sleep whey protein intake has been shown to improve overnight muscle protein synthesis, muscle size and strength, and muscle recovery. Despite a growing interest in alternative protein sources, such as plant-based protein, there is no evidence regarding the efficacy of plant-based proteins consumed pre-sleep. Therefore, we aimed to compare whey vs.

The effects of word completion and word prediction on typing rates using on-screen keyboards.

Word prediction is often recommended by therapists as a means to improve typing speed for clients with physical limitations. Although literature suggests that word prediction does have an effect on writing proficiency, increased speed is not one of its benefits when used with a standard keyboard. One reason given for the failure of word prediction to accelerate typing is that the user must look away from any source document to scan the prediction list during typing.
