Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of diet and/or exercise on the adipocytokine and inflammatory cytokine levels of postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes.
Ifigenia Giannopoulou,Bo Fernhall,Robert Carhart,Ruth S. Weinstock,Ruth S. Weinstock,Tracy Baynard,Arturo Figueroa,Jill A. Kanaley +7 more
TL;DR: A typically prescribed weight loss program with lifestyle changes resulted in few changes in adipocytokines and inflammatory cytokines in older women with type 2 diabetes, suggesting that dramatic weight loss or clinical interventions are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of exercise and low-fat diet on adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic complications in obese mice
Victoria J. Vieira,Rudy J. Valentine,Kenneth R. Wilund,Nirav Antao,Tracy Baynard,Jeffrey A. Woods +5 more
TL;DR: Compared with LFD, EX attenuated increases in adiposity, hepatic steatosis, and adipose MCP-1 expression from 6 to 12 wk, highlighting the importance of both EX and LFD in preventing obesity-related metabolic disturbances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Children and adolescents with Down syndrome, physical fitness and physical activity
TL;DR: The existing body of research indicates that youth with DS have low cardiovascular and muscular fitness/exercise capacity and their PA likely declines through childhood and into adolescence, and future research should focus on strength testing and training protocols and methodologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical fitness predicts functional tasks in individuals with Down syndrome.
Patrick M. Cowley,Lori L. Ploutz-Snyder,Tracy Baynard,Kevin S. Heffernan,Sae Young Jae,Sharon Hsu,Miyoung Lee,Kenneth H. Pitetti,Michael P. Reiman,Bo Fernhall +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that physical fitness (defined here as aerobic capacity and knee extensor strength) limits the ability of adults with DS to perform functional tasks of daily living.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endurance training improves post-exercise cardiac autonomic modulation in obese women with and without type 2 diabetes
TL;DR: Endurance training reduced blood pressure without changes in HRV and BRS at rest, but training increased HRV during the recovery of acute endurance exercise indicating an improved post-exercise autonomic modulation of HR, which was similar in obese women with and without T2D.
