Abstract Aim This study compared the effect of different resistance training (RT) frequencies on total, android, gynoid and trunk body fat in overweight/obese older women. Methods Fifty-seven overweight/obese older women (66.9±5.3 years and 39.9±4.9% body fat) were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a group performing RT twice a week (G2X), a group performing RT three times a week (G3X), or a non-exercise control group (CG). Both training groups performed the same 12-week RT program consisting of 8 exercises that trained all major muscle groups. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to assess body composition. Results After the intervention period, both G2X and G3X demonstrated significant (P<0.05) reductions in adiposity compared to the CG for total body fat (G2X=–1.7%, G3X=–2.7%, CG=+2.1%), android fat (G2X=–6.2%, G3X=–7.0%, CG=+8.6%), gynoid fat (G2X=–2.5%, G3X=–2.9%, CG=+1.0%), and trunk fat (G2X=–2.5%, G3X=–3.0%, CG=+2.9%), with no significant differences between training groups. Conclusion These results demonstrate that a low-volume 12-week RT program performed two or three times per week causes decreases in total and regional fat deposition with the greatest reductions occurring in the android region.

BackgroundAs measured through body mass index (BMI), obesity is more prevalent among upwardly mobile adults than among adults born into middle-class families. Although BMI reflects general adiposity, health risks are more strongly associated with abdominal adiposity. It is therefore important to investigate associations between upward mobility and fat distribution.MethodsA socioepidemiological questionnaire was developed, qualitatively validated and piloted with Oxford BioBank participants. Sex-specific analyses of variance (ANOVA) investigated associations between participant occupational class and adiposity, paternal occupational class and adiposity, and upward occupational mobility and adiposity. The main aim was to observe whether the expected directional effect of adiposity in relation to paternal occupational class would emerge.Results280 participants (166 women, 114 men; age 32–67 years) completed the questionnaire. Men with fathers of occupational class 2 or 3 had higher mean BMI, total body fat percentage, android fat mass and android-to-gynoid fat mass ratio than men with fathers of occupational class 1. Women with fathers of occupational class 2 or 3 had higher mean BMI, total body fat percentage, android fat mass and gynoid fat mass than women with fathers of occupational class 1. Among men, upward mobility was not associated with adiposity. Among women, upward mobility was associated with higher total body fat percentage, android fat mass and gynoid fat mass.ConclusionThe expected directional effect was found, thereby supporting the questionnaire’s use. Upward mobility did not appear to change associations between paternal occupational class and participant adiposity. Future research using the socioepidemiological questionnaire should investigate associations between gender, educational mobility, adiposity and health.

This study examined the effects of increasing levels of dietary fat fed isocalorically on body weight, body composition, and adipose distribution. Adult male rats were weight matched into four groups. One group that was fed a low-fat diet (12%) served as reference controls. The other three groups were fed diets of 24, 36, or 48% fat in amounts to equal the energy intake of the control group. After 6 wk, body weights of the four groups were not significantly different. Intrascapular brown fat did not differ between groups. Total body fat and adipose depot weights, however, increased in proportion to the level of fat in the diet. Total body fat and retroperitoneal and mesenteric depot weights of the 48% fat group were greater than controls (P < 0.05). Mesenteric fat in this group was also significantly increased over all other groups (P < 0.05). These results show that high-fat diets fed to adult animals cause increased body fat in the absence of significant changes in body weight and that mesenteric fat is increased disproportionately.

This study analyzed the effects of the pyramidal resistance training (RT) system with two repetition zones on cardiovascular risk factors in older women (≥60 years old). Fifty-nine older women were randomly assigned in three groups: non-exercise control (CON, n = 19), narrow-pyramid system (NPR, n = 20), and wide-pyramid system (WPR, n = 20). Training was performed for eight weeks (eight exercises for the whole-body, 3x/week) in which NPR and WPR performed three sets of 12/10/8 and 15/10/5 repetitions, respectively. Regional body fat was estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and blood parameters related to glycemic, lipid, and inflammatory profiles were assessed. After the training period, although no difference was observed for the magnitude of the changes between NPR and WPR, significant group by time interactions indicated benefits with RT compared to CON for reducing body fat (mainly android body fat; −7%) and improving glucose, HDL-C, LDL-C and C-reactive protein (p < 0.05). Composite z-score of cardiovascular risk, created by the average of the intervention effects on the outcomes, indicate similar responses between NPR and WPR, differing from CON (p < 0.001). Results indicate that both the repetition zones of the pyramidal RT reduced similarly the cardiovascular risk in older women.

Purpose.The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of increasing the volume of weight-training from one to three sets upon body composition and muscular strength.Methods.Sixteen male weight-trainers volunteered to act as subjects and were randomly assigned to one of two training groups. Supervised weight-training targeting the upper body was conducted three times per week for eight weeks using one set (n=8) or three sets (n=8) of six repetitions to fatigue. Subjects were measured before and after the training intervention for (1) strength performance (Nand kg) and (2) adiposity (sum of seven skinfold thicknesses in mm).Results.Both training groups improved significantly (20.7%) in terms of muscular strength (P<0.05) with no differences being observed between the one set (21.98% increase) and three set group (20.71% increase) after the training interventions (P>0.05). Significant decreases were also observed for skinfold measures in the one set group (P<0.05).Conclusions.One set of high intensity resistance training was as effective as three sets for increasing the strength of muscle groups in the upper body. The one set protocol also produced significantly greater decreases in adiposity.

Markers Of Oxidative Stress

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two different resistance training (RT) systems on oxidative stress biomarkers in older women. Fifty-nine older women (67.9 ± 5.0 years) were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Two training groups performed an 8 week RT program either in traditional (TD, n = 20) or a pyramid (PR, n = 20) system 3 times per week, or a control group (CG, n = 19). The TD program consisted of 3 sets of 8–12 RM with constant load for the 3 sets, whereas the PR training consisted of 3 sets of 12/10/8 RM with incremental loads for each set. As compared with the CG, both TD and PR achieved upregulation of the antioxidant system as evidenced by higher (p < .05) values of total radical-trapping antioxidant parameter plasma concentration after intervention (TD= 930.4 ± 160.0 µmolTrolox, PR= 977.8 ± 145.2 µmolTrolox, CG= 794.4 ± 130.2 µmolTrolox). For the protein oxidation adducts, TD and PR presented lower (p < .05) scores compared with CG (TD= 91.2 ± 25.0 µmol/L, PR= 93.0 ± 30.3 µmol/L, CG= 111.0 ± 20.4 µmol/L). However, there were no differences (p < .05) between trained groups in the antioxidant capacity markers and in the protein oxidation adducts markers. The results suggest that 8 weeks of progressive RT promotes an improvement in markers of oxidative stress in older women independent of the load-management RT system.

The current experiment was designed to investigate the effect of zeranol implantation on lambs and goats’ kids raised under commercial conditions. Ten male Awassi lambs (AL) (4-5 months old) with an average body weight of 33.7 ± 0.5 kg and 10 male black goat kids (GK) (3-4 months old) with an average body weight of 18.8 ± 0.7 kg were used in the experiment. The experiment was conducted in Berebuhar village close to Duhok city in May the 15th, 2019The animals from each group were randomly divided into two subgroups, the first group was the control group and the other group was implanted with 24 mg zeranol. The animals were grown for 43 days and then slaughtered. Growth rate, average daily gain and carcass characteristics were measured. Data were analysed as factorial 2 × 2.  The results showed that implantation both animal groups with zeranol significantly reduced testicular weight by approximately 55 % and 71 % for goat kids and Awassi lambs respectively. Moreover, the results showed that zeranol implantation found to reduce total body fat from 892 to 816g in goat kids and from 3395 to 2856 g in Awassi lambs. It can be concluded that zeranol implantation has an effect on total body fat and fat tissue distribution.

Objetivo: El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar el efecto del orden de ejecución de ejercicios contra resistencia (CR) sobre la presión arterial (PA) en reposo de jóvenes estudiantes normotensos. Método: Para el estudio se contó con la participación de 14 hombres sanos, familiarizados con el ejercicio de contra resistencia con edad promedio de 23.3 ± 1.4 años. Las condiciones experimentales fueron realizadas en orden aleatorizado, en diferentes días de trabajo y consistieron en: (1) iniciar el ejercicio CR con grupo muscular grande y terminar con pequeños (G-Peq), (2) iniciar con grupos musculares pequeño y finalizar con grandes (P-Gde) y (3), condición control .La rutina de ejercicio constó de ocho ejercicios  los cuales se trabajaron al 60% de 1 repetición máxima (RM), se realizaron 3 series de 10 repeticiones para cada ejercicio , las mediciones de presiones arteriales se tomaron antes del ejercicio, al terminar el  ejercicio y cada 10 minutos luego de terminar la rutina durante 1 hora. Resultados: En la PA sistólica se encontraron disminuciones importantes durante 30 min tanto de la condición G-Peq como de la P-Gde en comparación con el grupo control (p≤ 0.001), no obstante, la magnitud de la disminución fue mayor posterior a G-Peq (6-11 mm Hg) en comparación con P-Gde (4-10 mm Hg). Para la PA diastólica no se encontró interacción significativa (p=0.39). Conclusión. Existe efecto hipotensor posterior a ambas rutinas, sin embargo, se observó una disminución mayor de la PA sistólica al finalizar la rutina con grupos musculares grandes. Abstract. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the order of execution of resistance training exercises (RT) on blood pressure (BP) in normotensive young students at rest. Method: 14 healthy men (mean age of 23.3 ± 1.4 years) who were familiar with resistance training participated in this study. The order of participation for the experimental conditions was randomized; the different conditions consisted in: (1) RT starting with large muscles groups and finishing with small ones (L-S), (2) RT starting with small muscles groups and ending with large ones (S-L) and (3) the control condition. RT routine consisted of eight exercises with intensity of 60% of one repetition maximum (RM). The participants performed 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise. Blood pressure measurements were taken before exercise, at the end of the year, and every 10 minutes after finishing the routine for 1 hour. Results: systolic BP reduction was found for 30 min both in L-S and S-L compared with the control group (p ≤ 0.001), although the magnitude of the decrease was higher after L-S (6-11 mmHg) compared with S-L (4-10 mmHg). For diastolic BP no significant interaction was found (p=0.39). Conclusion There exists a hypotensive effect after both routines; however, there was a greater decrease of systolic BP at the end of the routine with large muscle groups.

This study analyzed the effects of a 10-wk resistance training program on body composition in 11 elderly women (68.91 ± 5.43 yrs). A control group of 8 women (65.13 ± 4.09 yrs) served as inactive control. The body fat percentage (skinfold thickness and bioelectrical impedance), body-circumference measurements and sum of skinfolds were assessed before and after 10 weeks. Food intake was assessed immediately before week 0 and week 10, from 3-day diet records (energy, protein, carbohydrate and fat). After initial tests, the subjects began a training program consisting of eight exercises for the whole body. The training program only resulted in decrease in sum of skinfolds (p<=0.05). No significant changes in any variable were observed in the control group. In conclusion, the training program did not reduce body fat percentage, although it reduced sum of skinfolds.
