Compression garments and recovery from exercise: a meta-analysis
(Springer, 2017)Background Adequate recovery from exercise is essential to maintain performance throughout training and competition. While compression garments (CG) have been demonstrated to accelerate recovery, the literature is clouded ... -
Corticospinal responses of resistance-trained and un-trained males during dynamic muscle contractions
(ELSEVIER, 2013)Little is known regarding the modulation and the plasticity of the neural pathway interconnecting elements of the central nervous system and skeletal muscle in resistant-trained individuals. The aim of the study was to ... -
The effect of a 12-week resistance training programme on the body composition and resting metabolic rate in a cohort of caucasian and coloured, premenopausal women aged 25-35 years
(AFAHPER-SD, 2013)Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the largest component of daily energy expenditure, with lower values in the black population. Resistance training is considered to be the most effective exercise modality to increase fat-free ... -
Effects of strength training on postpubertal adolescent distance runners
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)Purpose Strength training activities have consistently been shown to improve running economy (RE) and neuromuscular characteristics, such as force-producing ability and maximal speed, in adult distance runners. However, ... -
The influence of resistance training on the magnitude of change in the resting metabolic rate, program compliance and related obesogenic anthropometric parameters in obese and normal–weight female employees
(AJOL, 2015)Obesity is a global health concern affecting all walks of life, with alarming prevalence in South African employees. Various companies have already implemented health promotion programs in order to improve employee health; ... -
Performance and endocrine responses to differing ratios of concurrent strength and endurance training
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)The present study examined functional strength and endocrine responses to varying ratios of strength and endurance training in a concurrent training regimen. Thirty resistance trained men completed 6 weeks of 3 d·wk−1 of ...
