Are resistance training systems necessary to avoid a stagnation and maximize the gains muscle strength and hypertrophy?
Publication date: Available online 5 July 2019Source: Science & SportsAuthor(s): V. Angleri, C. Ugrinowitsch, C.A. LibardiSummaryTo optimize/maximize increases on muscle strength and mass in well resistance-trained individuals, the use of resistancetraining (RT) systems have been widely recommended by powerlifters, bodybuilders and coaches. These systems may be characterized as advanced techniques that manipulate specific RT variables emphasizing physiologic mechanisms. However, there is a lack of evidence on literature supporting the advantages of RT systems on muscle strength and mass increases compared with traditional ...

Influence of resistance training and herbal supplementation on plasma apelin and metabolic syndrome risk factors in postmenopausal women
ConclusionThese results suggest that circuit resistance training augments plasma apelin and decreases both insulin and blood glucose. However, Zataria multiflora has no independent effect on apelin but does decrease blood glucose which is likely to be to some extent synergistic with training effects.RésuméObjectifLa ménopause est une situation physiologique qui affecte toutes les femmes autour de la cinquantaine. Le but de cette étude était d’évaluer les effets d’un entraînement en résistance de type « circuit training » avec supplémentation orale en Zataria multiflora (Avishan-e-Shirazi) sur l’apeline p...

Training modalities and self-medication behaviors in a sample of runners during an ultratrail
ConclusionWe evidence some factors that seem to be associated with an improved performance: low age, low BMI, high years of practice, high weekly hours and club membership. Contrary to popular belief among runners, performance seems not or only slightly improved by intake or medication before, during or after the race (sports cake, multi-vitamin complex, BCAA, paracetamol, NSAID, beta-2-mimetics, etc.). Some of these relationships may exist and may not be clearly perceived by athletes. However, such results can help practitioners communicate with more confidence about the risks of certain supplements and NSAIDs compared to...

Do sex and body structure influence spatiotemporal step characteristics in endurance runners?
In conclusion, at a given running velocity, differences in body proportions seem to determine CT in amateur endurance runners, with higher values reported in taller and heavier runners. Nevertheless, although does exist a relationship between anthropometric characteristics and spatiotemporal parameters during running, the role of the somatic parameters measured in this study does not seem to be determinant in the spatiotemporal characteristics of amateur endurance runners.RésuméObjectifsExaminer l’influence du sexe et des caractéristiques anthropométriques des athlètes d’endurance formés à la récréation sur le...
