12 weeks of combined endurance and resistance training reduces innate markers of inflammation in a randomized controlled clinical trial in patients with multiple sclerosis Universiteit Antwerpen
Effect of Antihypertensive and Statin Medication Use on Muscle Performance in Community-Dwelling Older Adults Performing Strength Training Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVES: Antihypertensive drugs (AHTD) and statins have been shown to have effects beyond their primarily designed purpose; here we investigate their possible effect on muscle performance and strength in older adults following a physical exercise programme.
DESIGN: The Senior PRoject INtensive Training (SPRINT) study is a randomised, controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the effects of physical exercise on the immune ...
Three Months of Strength Training Changes the Gene Expression of Inflammation-Related Genes in PBMC of Older Women Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Here, we investigate changes in inflammation-related gene-expression in peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMC) by strength training. A total of 14 women aged ≥65 years were randomized into 3 months of either 3×/week intensive strength training (IST: 3×10 rep at 80% 1RM), strength endurance training (SET: 2×30 reps at 40% 1RM) or control (CON: 3×30 sec stretching). Differentially expressed genes (fold change ≤0.67 or ≥1.5) were identified ...
