The Preventive Effects of 8 Weeks of Resistance Training on Glucose Tolerance and Muscle Fiber Type Composition in Zucker Rats
Abstract Background: We investigated the therapeutic effects of resistance training on Zucker rats before and after the onset of diabetes to understand the importance of the timing of exercise intervention. We assessed whether 8 weeks of resistance training ameliorated impaired glucose tolerance and altered muscle fiber type composition in Zucker rats. Methods: Five-week-old male Zucker […]
Effect of Aerobic Training and Resistance Training on Circulating Irisin Level and Their Association With Change of Body Composition in Overweight/Obese Adults: a Pilot Study
Abstract The novel myokine irisin has been reported as a therapeutic target for metabolic disease. The objective of this study is to reveal the effects of aerobic training (AT) and resistance training (RT) on circulating irisin levels and their associations with change of body composition in overweight/obese adults. Twenty eight overweight/obese adults (BMI>23 kg/m2) were […]
Resistance exercise training increases the expression of irisin concomitant with improvement of muscle function in aging mice and humans
Abstract We investigated the effect of resistance training on irisin expression with improvement in muscle strength and function in aged mice and human. In the mice study, 19 months oldmale C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into two groups; control group and resistance exercise group. Ladder climbing exercisewith tail weightwas performed 3 days per week for […]
Multi-Finger Interaction and Synergies in Finger Flexion and Extension Force Production 작성자admin
Abstract The aim of this study was to discover finger interaction indices during single-finger ramp tasks and multi-finger coordination during a steady state force production in two directions, flexion, and extension. Furthermore, the indices of anticipatory adjustment of elemental variables (i.e., finger forces) prior to a quick pulse force production were quantified. It is currently […]
Synergy as a new and sensitive marker of basal ganglia dysfunction: A study of asymptomatic welders
Abstract Background: Multi-digit synergies, a recently developed, theory-based method to quantify stability of motor action, are shown to reflect basal ganglia dysfunction associated with parkinsonian syndromes. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that multi-digit synergies may capture early and subclinical basal ganglia dysfunction. We chose asymptomatic welders to test the hypothesis because the basal […]
Results From South Korea’s 2016 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth
Abstract South Korea’s 2016 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth is the first assessment of physical activity according to the indicators set by Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance. Methods: National surveys were used as preferred sources of data. This was then supported by peer-reviewed papers and government reports identified by a systematic […]
Comparison of Segmental Colon Transit Time With Total Energy Expenditure in Psychiatry Unit Patients
Abstract Physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. We examined the colon transit time (CTT) according to the total energy expenditure (TEE) in psychiatry unit patients. The study participants included 67 adults, with a mean age of 49.8 years. The participants used an accelerometer for 7 days to measure their 1-week […]
The Influences of Sports Viewing Conditions on Enjoyment from Watching Televised Sports: An Analysis of the FIFA World Cup Audiences in Theater vs. Home
Abstract This study investigates how experiences of viewing sports content in a movie theater differ from typical television viewing conditions in a home. The results of analyses showed that the viewing condition (theater vs. home) influenced audiences’ sense of presence when watching mediated sports, which, combined with the attractiveness of the game, would determine the […]
Factors affecting sportswear buying behavior: A comparative analysis of luxury sportswear
Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine the antecedent factors of consumers' purchase intention and willingness to pay for sportswear brands. Also, the study examines the moderating role of not only the luxury status of sportswear brands (i.e., luxury vs. regular brands) but also the types of luxury brands in particular (i.e., brand […]
Investigation of the Structural Relationships Between Social Support, Self-Compassion, and Subjective Well-Being in Korean Elite Student Athletes
Abstract The study examined whether self-compassion mediates the relationship between social support and subjective well-being, as perceived by athletes. It also investigated the structural relationships between these variables. Participants were 333 athletes attending high school or university. Structural equation analysis showed that selfcompassion partially mediated the relationship between social support and subjective well-being. To test […]
