Journal ArticleDOI
Strength training improves muscle quality and insulin sensitivity in Hispanic older adults with type 2 diabetes.
Naomi E. Brooks,Jennifer E. Layne,Patricia L. Gordon,Ronenn Roubenoff,Miriam E. Nelson,Carmen Castaneda-Sceppa +5 more
TL;DR: The data show that strength training is an exercise modality to consider as an adjunct of standard of care in high risk populations with type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skeletal muscle wasting with disuse atrophy is multi-dimensional: the response and interaction of myonuclei, satellite cells and signaling pathways
TL;DR: The hibernating squirrel has been identified as an innovative model to study resistance to atrophy and how nutrient supplementation may further enhance recovery and reduce atrophy despite unloading or ageing is currently of great interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance training and timed essential amino acids protect against the loss of muscle mass and strength during 28 days of bed rest and energy deficit
Naomi E. Brooks,Gregory J. Cloutier,Samuel M. Cadena,Jennifer E. Layne,Carol A. Nelsen,Alicia M. Freed,Ronenn Roubenoff,Carmen Castaneda-Sceppa +7 more
TL;DR: The efficacy of combined AA and RT as a countermeasure against muscle wasting due to low gravity and energy deficit during spaceflight and bed rest is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elimination of electrically induced iontophoretic artefacts: Implications for non-invasive assessment of peripheral microvascular function
William R. Ferrell,Jane E. Ramsay,Naomi E. Brooks,John C. Lockhart,Sylvia Dickson,Grainne M McNeece,Ian A. Greer,Naveed Sattar +7 more
TL;DR: Use of a low-resistance vehicle combined with larger chamber sizes and lower currents can prevent such artefacts, thereby increasing the robustness of this methodology for clinical assessment of endothelial function.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Daily Mile makes primary school children more active, less sedentary and improves their fitness and body composition: a quasi-experimental pilot study.
Ross Chesham,Josephine N. Booth,Emma L. Sweeney,Gemma Ryde,Trish Gorely,Trish Gorely,Naomi E. Brooks,Colin Neil Moran +7 more
TL;DR: The findings show that in primary school children, the Daily Mile intervention is effective at increasing levels of MVPA, reducing sedentary time, increasing physical fitness and improving body composition.
