Journal ArticleDOI
Low skeletal muscle capillarization limits muscle adaptation to resistance exercise training in older adults.
Tatiana Moro,Camille R. Brightwell,Danielle E. Phalen,Colleen F. McKenna,Samantha J. Lane,Craig Porter,Elena Volpi,Blake B. Rasmussen,Christopher S. Fry +8 more
TL;DR: Investigating the relationship between muscle capillarization and indices of muscle hypertrophy in older adults before and after progressive resistance exercise training (RET) found that an adequate initial capillary-to-fiber perimeter exchange index is critical to achieve a meaningful degree of muscle adaptation to RET.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the effects of narrative and play on physical activity among breast cancer survivors using mobile apps: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Elizabeth J. Lyons,Tom Baranowski,Karen Basen-Engquist,Zakkoyya H. Lewis,Maria C. Swartz,Kristofer Jennings,Elena Volpi +6 more
TL;DR: This study is uniquely suited to investigate not just whether but how and why game elements may improve breast cancer survivors’ health, and to determine the effectiveness of an intervention that combines narrative and gaming to encourage sustained physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel noninvasive breath test method for screening individuals at risk for diabetes.
Edgar L. Dillon,Morteza Janghorbani,James A. Angel,Shanon L. Casperson,James J. Grady,Randall J. Urban,Elena Volpi,Melinda Sheffield-Moore +7 more
TL;DR: These results suggest that this novel breath test method may assist in recognition of pre-diabetes or early-stage diabetes in at- risk persons without the need for invasive blood sampling, thus making it an attractive option for large-scale testing of at-risk populations, such as children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein Supplementation Has Minimal Effects on Muscle Adaptations during Resistance Exercise Training in Young Men: A Double-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial
Paul T. Reidy,Michael S. Borack,Melissa M. Markofski,Melissa M. Markofski,Jared M. Dickinson,Jared M. Dickinson,Rachel R Deer,Syed H Husaini,Dillon K. Walker,Dillon K. Walker,Sherry Igbinigie,Shay M Robertson,Mark B. Cope,Ratna Mukherjea,Janine Hall-Porter,Kristofer Jennings,Elena Volpi,Blake B. Rasmussen +17 more
TL;DR: PB supplementation during 3 mo of RET tended to slightly enhance gains in whole-body and arm LBM, but not leg muscle mass, compared with RET without protein supplementation, although protein supplementation minimally enhanced gains in LBM of healthy young men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Aerobic Exercise Training and Essential Amino Acid Supplementation for 24 Weeks on Physical Function, Body Composition, and Muscle Metabolism in Healthy, Independent Older Adults: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Melissa M. Markofski,Kristofer Jennings,Kyle L. Timmerman,Jared M. Dickinson,Christopher S. Fry,Michael S. Borack,Paul T. Reidy,Rachel R Deer,Amanda C. Randolph,Blake B. Rasmussen,Elena Volpi +10 more
TL;DR: In non-frail, independent, healthy older adults AE training increased walking speed and aerobic fitness, and, when combined with EAA supplementation, it also increased muscle strength and EAA-stimulated muscle protein synthesis.
