Repeated Sprint Training in Hypoxia Improves Repeated Sprint Ability to Exhaustion Similarly in Active Males and Females.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the physiological adaptations of males and females to repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH).

Methods: Active males and females completed 7 wk of repeated sprint training in normoxia (RSN; F i O 2 = 0.209, males: n = 11, females: n = 8) or RSH (F i O 2 = 0.

Effects of plasmapheresis frequency on health status and exercise performance in men: A randomized controlled trial.

Background And Objectives: Most research studies on the effects of repeated plasma donation are observational with different study limitations, resulting in high uncertainty on the link between repeated plasma donation and health consequences. Here, we prospectively investigated the safety of intensive or less intensive plasma donation protocols.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-three male subjects participated in this randomized controlled trial and were divided into low-frequency (LF, once/month, n = 16), high-frequency (HF, three times/month, n = 16), very high-frequency (VHF, two times/week, n = 16) and a placebo (P, once/month, n = 15) groups.

Evaluation of a Dietary Supplementation Combining Protein and a Pomegranate Extract in Older People: A Safety Study.

Malnutrition is a highly prevalent condition in older adults. It is associated with low muscle mass and function and increased occurrence of health problems. Maintaining an adequate nutritional status as well as a sufficient nutrient intake in older people is therefore essential to address this public health problem.

Effects of Saffron Extract on Sleep Quality: A Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Clinical Trial.

A saffron extract has been found to be effective in the context of depression and anxiety, but its effect on sleep quality has not been investigating yet using objective approaches. For this purpose, a randomized double-blind controlled study was conducted in subjects presenting mild to moderate sleep disorder associated with anxiety. Sixty-six subjects were randomized and supplemented with a placebo (maltodextrin) or a saffron extract (15.
