Dairy intake and cardiovascular diseases risk factors: a cross-sectional study on Iranian obese and overweight women.

Objective: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Dietary interventions can directly affect several ASCVD risk factors. This study aimed to assess an association between dairy consumption and the odds of ASCVD and its risk factors in women with overweight and obesity.

The Joint Association of Fitness and Fatness on Cardiovascular Disease Mortality: A Meta-Analysis.

The joint association of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body mass index (BMI) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality was determined. PubMed and CINAHL were searched following PRISMA guidelines. Included studies were prospective, had objective assessments of maximal CRF and BMI, and compared the joint impact of CRF and BMI on CVD mortality risk to normal weight, fit referents.

Impact of EPOC adjustment on estimation of energy expenditure using activity monitors.

Purpose: To examine the accuracy of activity monitors in estimating energy expenditure (EE) during activities of varying mode and intensity and to evaluate the impact of including energy expended during recovery from activity (EPOC) on the EE estimate. EE estimates obtained from the Fitbit Surge (FBS), Garmin Vívofit (GV) and SenseWear Armband Mini (SWA) were compared to criterion EE with and without EPOC adjustments during moderate- and vigorous-intensity treadmill and cycling activities.

Methods: Participants (N = 34; 23 males) completed counterbalanced treadmill or cycling conditions, comprised of a resting metabolic rate measurement, 10-min bouts of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity and an EPOC measurement.

An Evaluation of Time-Trial-Based Predictions of V[Combining Dot Above]O2max and Recommended Training Paces for Collegiate and Recreational Runners.

Scudamore, EM, Barry, VW, and Coons, JM. An Evaluation of time-trial-based predictions of V[Combining Dot Above]O2max and recommended training paces for collegiate and recreational runners. J Strength Cond Res 32(4): 1137-1143, 2018-The purpose of the current study was to determine the accuracy of Jack Daniels' VDOT Running Calculator for the prediction of V[Combining Dot Above]O2max, and recommendations of interval and training paces (pIN and pTH) in samples of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 track athletes (ATH, n = 11) and recreational runners (REC; n = 9).

Effect of Caffeine on near Maximal Blood Pressure and Blood Pressure Recovery in Physically-Active, College-Aged Females.

The purpose of this study is to determine how caffeine affects exercise blood pressure (BP) and active and passive recovery BP after vigorous intensity exercise in physically active college-aged females. Fifteen physically active, ACSM stratified low-risk females (age (y): 23.53 ± 4.

Live vs. digital video disk exercise in college--aged females.

Although exercise digital video disk (DVD) sales have substantially increased over the past decade, little is known on the effectiveness of personal training vs. DVD exercises. The purpose of this study was to compare energy expenditures and heart rates of live and DVD vigorously intense exercise sessions.

Fitness vs. fatness on all-cause mortality: a meta-analysis.

The purpose of this study was to quantify the joint association of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and weight status on mortality from all causes using meta-analytical methodology. Studies were included if they were (1) prospective, (2) objectively measured CRF and body mass index (BMI), and (3) jointly assessed CRF and BMI with all-cause mortality. Ten articles were included in the final analysis.

Cardiometabolic results from an armband-based weight loss trial.

Purpose: This report examines the blood chemistry and blood pressure (BP) results from the Lifestyle Education for Activity and Nutrition (LEAN) study, a randomized weight loss trial. A primary purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of real-time self-monitoring of energy balance (using the SenseWear(™) Armband, BodyMedia, Inc Pittsburgh, PA) on these health factors.

Methods: 164 sedentary overweight or obese adults (46.

Electronic feedback in a diet- and physical activity-based lifestyle intervention for weight loss: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The SenseWear™ Armband (SWA) (BodyMedia, Inc. Pittsburgh, PA) is a physical activity and lifestyle monitor that objectively and accurately measures free-living energy balance and sleep and includes software for self-monitoring of daily energy expenditure and energy intake. The real-time feedback of the SWA can improve individual self-monitoring and, therefore, enhance weight loss outcomes.

Using a technology-based intervention to promote weight loss in sedentary overweight or obese adults: a randomized controlled trial study design.

Purpose: The SenseWear™ Armband is an activity monitor developed to improve lifestyle self-monitoring. Currently, few studies assess electronic self-monitoring and weight loss with a lifestyle intervention program. To our knowledge, only one study has used the SenseWear Armband in combination with a lifestyle intervention to improve weight loss, and no studies have evaluated whether a self-monitoring intervention based solely on the armband can promote weight loss.
