TL;DR: The psycho-physiological responses provide validity evidence for use of the Children's OMNI Scale over a wide range of dynamic exercise intensities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of interleukin-15 protein and interleukin-15 receptor genetic variation with resistance exercise training responses
TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-15 is an important mediator of muscle mass response to resistance exercise training in humans and that genetic variation in IL15RA accounts for a significant proportion of the variability in this response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin sensitivity in African-American children with and without family history of type 2 diabetes.
Kapriel Danadian,Govindasamy Balasekaran,Vered Lewy,Manuel P Meza,Robert J. Robertson,Silva A. Arslanian +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that in African-American children, family history of type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for insulin resistance, and it is proposed that this familial tendency, combined with environmental influences, could lead to type 1 diabetes decades later.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of 2000 m indoor rowing performance using a 30 s sprint and maximal oxygen uptake
Steven E. Riechman,Robert F. Zoeller,Govindasamy Balasekaran,Fredric L. Goss,Robert J. Robertson +4 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that, in the women studied, 75.7% of the variation in 2000 m indoor rowing performance time was predicted by peak power in a rowing Wingate test, while V O 2max and fatigue during theWingate test explained an additional 12.1% and 8.2%" of the variance, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise-induced weight loss preferentially reduces abdominal fat.
TL;DR: Data reveal that large exercise-induced weight losses are associated with maintenance of fat free mass and a corresponding maintenance of FFM, and a significant reduction in WHR indicates a greater mobilization of abdominal fat and a preferential loss of fat from this region.
