Hormonal response to carbohydrate supplementation at rest and after resistance exercise.

This investigation examined the anabolic-hormone response to carbohydrate (CHO) supplementation at rest and after resistance exercise. Nine recreationally trained men randomly underwent 4 testing conditions: rest with placebo (RPL), rest with CHO (RCHO), resistance exercise with placebo (EPL), and resistance exercise with CHO (ECHO). The resistance-exercise protocol was four sets of Smith machine squats with a 10-repetition-maximum load, with 90-s rests between sets.

Evaluation of leg-to-leg BIA in assessing body composition in high-school-aged males and females.

The current investigation was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the Tanita 300WA leg-to-leg (LL) bioelectrical impedance analyzer (BIA) for measuring body composition in an American high-school-aged population. Body composition was determined in 77 students, comparing BIA measurements with the criterion, hydrostatic weighing (HW). Among the males, there were no significant differences found in percent body fat (%BF) between BIA (14.

Evaluation of leg-to-leg BIA in assessing body composition of high-school wrestlers.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of leg-to-leg bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in assessing fat-free mass (FFM) using the TBF-300WA in comparison with hydrostatic weighing (HW) and skinfolds (SK) in high-school (HS) wrestlers in a hydrated state.

Methods: Body composition was determined by BIA, HW, and three-site SK in 129 HS wrestlers (mean +/- SD, age: 15.5 +/- 1.
