Journal ArticleDOI
Similar metabolic adaptations during exercise after low volume sprint interval and traditional endurance training in humans
Kirsten A. Burgomaster,Krista R. Howarth,Stuart M. Phillips,Mark Rakobowchuk,Maureen J. MacDonald,Sean L. McGee,Martin J. Gibala +6 more
TL;DR: Given the markedly lower training volume in the SIT group, these data suggest that high‐intensity interval training is a time‐efficient strategy to increase skeletal muscle oxidative capacity and induce specific metabolic adaptations during exercise that are comparable to traditional ET.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sprint interval and traditional endurance training induce similar improvements in peripheral arterial stiffness and flow-mediated dilation in healthy humans
Mark Rakobowchuk,Sophie Tanguay,Kirsten A. Burgomaster,Krista R. Howarth,Martin J. Gibala,Maureen J. MacDonald +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that SIT is a time-efficient strategy to elicit improvements in peripheral vascular structure and function that are comparable to ET, however, alterations in central artery distensibility may require a longer training stimuli and/or greater initial vascular stiffness than observed in this group of healthy subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial function of young healthy males following whole body resistance training
Mark Rakobowchuk,Cheri L. McGowan,P.C.E. de Groot,Joseph W. Hartman,Stuart M. Phillips,Maureen J. MacDonald +5 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to show that peripheral arterial remodeling does occur with resistance training in healthy young men, and the increase in postocclusion blood flow may indicate improved resistance vessel function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of whole body resistance training on arterial compliance in young men.
Mark Rakobowchuk,Cheri L. McGowan,P.C.E. de Groot,D. Bruinsma,Joseph W. Hartman,Stuart M. Phillips,Maureen J. MacDonald +6 more
TL;DR: In young men, central arterial Compliance is unaltered with 12 weeks of resistance training and the mechanisms responsible for cardiac hypertrophy and reduced arterial compliance are either not inherent to all resistance‐training programmes or may require a prolonged stimulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isometric handgrip training improves local flow-mediated dilation in medicated hypertensives
Cheri L. McGowan,Adrienne Visocchi,Martha Faulkner,Robin Verduyn,Mark Rakobowchuk,Andrew S. Levy,Neil McCartney,Maureen J. MacDonald +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that although IHG training improves endothelial-dependent vasodilation, the improvements occur only locally in the trained limbs, which suggests that enhanced systemic endothelium-dependent Vasodilation is not the mechanism responsible for the observed post-IHGTraining reductions in BP in medicated hypertensives.
