Journal ArticleDOI
Trends over 5 decades in U.S. occupation-related physical activity and their associations with obesity.
Timothy S. Church,Diana M. Thomas,Catrine Tudor-Locke,Peter T. Katzmarzyk,Conrad P. Earnest,Ruben Q. Rodarte,Corby K. Martin,Steven N. Blair,Claude Bouchard +8 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that daily occupation-related energy expenditure has decreased by more than 100 calories, and this reduction in energy expenditure accounts for a significant portion of the increase in mean U.S. body weights for women and men over the last 50 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Aerobic and Resistance Training on Hemoglobin A1c Levels in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Timothy S. Church,Steven N. Blair,Shannon Cocreham,Neil M. Johannsen,William D. Johnson,Kimberly Kramer,Catherine R. Mikus,Valerie H. Myers,Melissa Nauta,Ruben Q. Rodarte,Lauren M. Sparks,Angela M. Thompson,Conrad P. Earnest +12 more
TL;DR: Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a combination of aerobic and resistance training compared with the nonexercise control group improved HbA(1c) levels, but this was not achieved by aerobic or resistance training alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise without Weight Loss Does Not Reduce C-Reactive Protein: The INFLAME Study
Timothy S. Church,Conrad P. Earnest,Angela M. Thompson,Elisa L. Priest,Ruben Q. Rodarte,Travis J. Saunders,Robert Ross,Steven N. Blair +7 more
TL;DR: Exercise training without weight loss is not associated with a reduction in C-reactive protein, and change in weight was correlated with change in CRP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammation and exercise (INFLAME): study rationale, design, and methods
Angela M. Thompson,Catherine R. Mikus,Ruben Q. Rodarte,Brandy Distefano,Elisa L. Priest,Erin Sinclair,Conrad P. Earnest,Steven N. Blair,Timothy S. Church +8 more
TL;DR: This will be the largest training study specifically designed to examine the effect of exercise on CRP concentrations, and has the potential to influence therapeutic applications since CRP measurement is becoming an important clinical measurement in Coronary Heart Disease risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized controlled exercise training trial on insulin sensitivity in African American men: The ARTIIS study: Major category: study design, statistical design, study protocols.
Robert L. Newton,William D. Johnson,Chelsea Hendrick,Melissa Harris,Emanuel Andrews,Neil M. Johannsen,Neil M. Johannsen,Ruben Q. Rodarte,Daniel S. Hsia,Timothy S. Church +9 more
TL;DR: The ARTIIS study is one of the first adequately powered, rigorously designed studies to investigate the effects of an aerobic plus resistance exercise training program and to assess adherence to exercise training in community facilities, in African American men.
