Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle hypertrophy response to resistance training in older women
Susan Charette,L. McEvoy,Gisela Pyka,Christine Snow-Harter,Davide Guido,Robert A. Wiswell,Robert Marcus +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a program of resistance exercise can be safely carried out by elderly women, such a program significantly increases muscle strength, and such gains are due, at least in part, to muscle hypertrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of resistance and endurance exercise on bone mineral status of young women: A randomized exercise intervention trial
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 8 months of supervised progressive training in either running or resistance exercise modestly increases lumbar spine mineral in young women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gymnasts exhibit higher bone mass than runners despite similar prevalence of amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea.
TL;DR: Gymnasts exhibited higher femoral neck BMD than runners and controls as well as a later age at menarche and a slightly higher (nonsignificant) prevalence of oligo‐and amenorrhea; runners exhibited lower BMD values compared with gymnasts despite similar current and historical menstrual cycle patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential effects of swimming versus weight-bearing activity on bone mineral status of eumenorrheic athletes.
Dennis R. Taaffe,Christine Snow-Harter,Declan A. J. Connolly,T. L. Robinson,Monte D. Brown,Robert Marcus +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the intensive weight‐bearing activity characteristic of gymnastics is a powerful osteogenic stimulus and that long‐term nonweightbearing training that incorporates forceful muscular contractions, as in swimming, confers no beneficial skeletal effects on bone mass of young women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle Hypertrophy Response To Resistance Training in Older Women
Ray W. Squires,Susan Charette,Lawrence McEvoy,Gisela Pyka,Christine Snow-Harter,Davide Guido,Robert A. Wiswell,Robert Marcus +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a program of resistance exercise can be safely carried out by elderly women, such a program significantly increases muscle strength, and such gains are due, at least in part, to muscle hypertrophy.
